Claimed Failure of Leadership
Washington - (UPP - Sen. Ja
cob K. Javits (R-N.Y.) says
that the Senate's scuttling of
medicare legislation reflected
a "failure of leadership" of
the Democratic party by Pres
ident Kennedy.
Javits, key Republican co
sponsor of the old age health
care compromiss, said the
President would not have
"much of an issue" for the
congressional elections on
this subject because 21 Demo
cratic senators joined 31 Re
publicans in killing the Administration-backed
proposal.
The President said imme
diately after the legislation
was killed in the Senate that
he would take the medicare
Investigation of.
Favoritism at
Fair Proposed j
Olympia, Wash. IUPP - State
Sen. R. R. Greive (D-Seattle)
says an investigation of Expo- j
Lodging and of the World's
Fair Show Street should be !
broadened to probe charges of
favoritism connected with the
fair.
"I don't think we should
overlook anything," Greive, j
vice chairman of the Legisla
tive Council, said.
Rep. Mark Litchman Jr. (D
Seattle) charged last week ,
that "despite some controls,
select businessmen 'ins' are
earning millions while the
outs' are going broke."
He demanded an investiga
tion of the fair's business deal
ings to determine if any laws
had been violated. j
Specific Charges
Greive said he thought the
Legislative Council's staff
should examine each of Litch
man's charges "which are spe
cific." "I don't think a public hear
ing is warranted." Greive said
"until we investigate to see
if any abuses exist."
Greive said he understood
that many of the fair's exclu
sive contracts, which Litch
man cited as examples of fa
voritsm, were "perfectly open
and above board." He said he
had been told that the fair
"gave certain people exclu
sive concessions so that they
would put up money to get
the fair started.
"The time to object to that
was when it was done, not
now," he said.
Should Investigate
But, he concluded, "if there
is some evidence that an
abuse may exist, then we
should investigate it."
Litchman indicated that he
wants to know if the fair
awarded contracts without
competitive bidding.
He also asked for an inves
tigation of the private Cen
turv 21 Corp.
"Who gave authority to the
World's Fair Commission,
comprised of appointed offi
cials, to abdicate its power, if
any, to a private corpora
tion? Is It true that a private
corporation actually operates
the fair to the benefit of a
few?" he asked.
issue to the people in tne
election campaign. He and
other Democratic leaders
blamed Republicans for the
setback and said medicare
would be used as a key elec
tion issue against GOP can
didates. Compilation Cited '
Javits cited a newspaper
compilation showing that
only 20 of Kennedy's 285
legislative proposals had
been approved by Congress.
That, he said, is "one of the
lowest records of presidents
indecent times."
"There is no making up for
that by crying out against the
Congress or saying he is go
ing to get a better Congress,"
Javits said. "He ought to do
a much better job with the
Congress he's got because he
a law nor, in partisan terms,
much of an issue, because of
the fact that he has had de
fections from his own side of
people witli whom everybody
had a right to expect he
would have the greatest In
fluence." Great Fellow
Javits added:
"You know this President
is a great fellow for brave
words, but he is not equally
great for the actions which go
with those words."
He renewed his charge that
Kennedy had withheld sup-
I port from civil rights legisla

wing of the Democratic party.

Suggestion
By DICK WEST 1
Washington - ll'Pil - Shake
speare once wrote that actors
should speak
their lines
"trippingly on
the tongue."
This is a
good rule, not
only for the
the stage but
for all types
of public de
claiming. It is,
for instance,
closely observed by members I
of Congress.
Seldom a day goes by that
one of them doesn't trip over
his tongue.
There have been some truly
classic examples of congres
sional tongue-trips. One of the
best to come forth recently
was produced by Rep. Elford
A. Cederberg (R-Mich.).
Speaking on the floor of the
House. Cederberg made refer
ence to a young lawyer, who,
he said, was "still green be
hind the ears."
Even so, Cederberg was
hard pressed to top the tongue
tripper of Rep. Alfred E. San
tangelo (D-N.Y.), who became
indignant the other day over
a proposal to organize a na
tional lottery.
Santangelo declared that
such a thing was "morally re
pugnant to millions of people,
not in the United States, but
also in the 24th Congressional
District." Chicago, too, prob
ably. Among connoisseurs of
tongue-trippers, Rep. John
Dent (D-Pa.), ranks high. I
particularly admired the
way he once pictured a
group of people who were
confronted by some dilem
ma. They were, said Dent, "torn
between two fires."
It is generally agreed, how
ever, that the all time cham
pion congressional tongue
tripper was the late Sen. Ken
neth Wherry (R-Neb.). There
are many cherished "Wherry
isms," including his reference
to "indigo China."
Wherry once addressed Sen.
Spessard Holland of Florida
ressmen Follow Bard's
in Making Speeches
as the distinguished senator
from Holland." He and former
Sen. Tom Connally (D-Tex.)
habitually referred to Chiang
Kai-shek as "Shanghai Chek."
Among present members of
the Senate, Sen. Homer E.
Capehart (R-Ind.) is regarded
as an ace tongue-tripper. Near
ly matching Wherry. Capehart
once addressed a colleague as
"Ihe senior senator from jun
ior." On another occasion.
Capehart got so carried
away by senatorial courtesy
that he referred to himself
as "the distinguished sena
tor from Indiana."
My own favorite tongue-trip
is the late Sen. Joseph R. Mc-;
Carthy's famous "most un-j
heard of thing I ever heard !
of." I
This sort of thing is not, of
course, com.ned to lawgivers.
Tongue-trips also can occur'
among congressional witness
es, as evidenced this week by
Donald A. Russell, an Agri
culture Department official.
Testifying at the Billie Sol
Estes inquiry, Russell neatly
summed up the department's
position by observing that
"unfortunately, we are not
equipped with hindsight in ad
vance." That's what I call hitting
the nail on the head in a nutshell.
