Edith Green Continues Efforts For Campaign Spending Limits By YVONNE FRANKLIN Mail Tribune Waihinglon Bureau Editor's note: This is the fourth in a scries on legisla tion introduced by the Oregon delegation in Congress. Washington Certain cong ressmen may have conflicts of interest, but in the club it- self no one talks of it. So when Rep Edith Green stood on the House floor last month and scolded then like the former school m a r m she Frinkim was. there was a bit of schoolboy reac tion. But she went ahead with legislation and is gathering support to make Congress 09 and 44100th per cent pure, such as: HR 4747, which limits the amount candidates may spend on campaigns, prc-primary, general and nominating con ventions. A Senate candidate and House member at large may spend $50,000 and a House candidate $12,500, each, on the pre-primary and gen eral election campaigns. Presi dential and vice presidential candidates may spend about 20c a - head on registered voters in the country- HR 4993 which requires all congressmen, their spouses and children earning over $12,500 annually to make a statement disclosing the amount and sources of in come, the value of their assets and dealings in real estate, securities and commodities, on an annual basis. HR 4793 which establishes a 15-man commission on leg islative ethics to make an 18 month study of congressional habits and make recommenda tions for reforms. Record Requirement Mrs. Green has not yet in troduced, but has planned legislation to require congres sional staffs to keep a record of all oral communication with the regulatory agencies, " such as the Federal Power Commission, Federal Com munications Commission, In terstate Commerce Commis sion, etc. Because she is not on the committee to which the above bills will be sent, passage de pends upon her success in winning support of those com mittee members. Mrs. Green, because of sen iority, has moved into leader ship circles as chairman of a subcommittee on the Educa tion and Labor Committee, which considers many key bills. Chairmanship of a com mittee means that one's name is engrossed on bills which are considered. If passed by Cong- Fluoridation Bill Brought To House Salem - (UPD - A bill to pro hibit community fluoridation of water unless the voters agree was sent to the House floor Wednesday with the ap proval of the Committee on Planning and Development. The committee also ap proved bills to let the public employees of an electric power supplier organize and bargain collectively, to per mit county bonding for ex position facilities, and to re quire inspection of plans for public works built by po litical subdivisions. Bills calling for a statewide port study, and for a study of professional licensing in Ore gon, were sent to- the Ways and Means committee. The committee tabled, and thus probably killed, a pack age of racing bills. It tabled "for a week" a bill to revise the county planning law.

This bill failed of enactment last year because of the religious issue-the Sen ate bill gave loans only, the House fought for both grants and loans to private and pub lic colleges for construction and it lost in the House by 28 votes. Bill Calls for Centers The $2 billion higher educa tion bill has had new life breathed into it and may yet reach the House for a vote. Mrs. Green has also intro duced separate legislation to provide 15 centers around the country where universities could share graduate research facilities. She has said that the pro posed Graduate Research Cen ter in Portland could qualify for federal funds under this legislation, which may yet be incorporated in the higher education bill. Rep. Green has intro duced legislation to prevent funds from going to Land Grant colleges in states which discriminate against Negroes, and to hospitals which have been constructed with Hill Burton Act funds. Sen. Lister Hill, of Ala bama, a supporter of federal aid for education, has indicat ed he will not support fed eral programs because he fears the Government may use federal funds as a lever to force integration of more southern schools. He was a prime mover in defeating the higher education bill last year Mrs. Green, who has been working for an equal pay bill for women since arriving in Washington in 1955. saw it fail last year in the Senate Sen. Hill would not call a committee meeting to con sider it after having passed the House under her leader ship. Her original bill covered all women working in interstate commerce industries, but the Republicans on her committee objected to setting up a new bureau, so Mrs. Green com promised to win their support. She has introduced legisla tion which is a duplicate of the Administration's bill pro viding hospital care for the aged under social security. Minor bills which she has sponsored include: HR 4748 which would extend the time to allow ministers to decide whether to come under social security. HR 3511, which she calls the working widows bill, al lows them to deduct a greater amount than now from their income tax for maid or house keeping services. Allows Tax Credit HR 2380 allows tax credit for contributions to the United Nations. HJRcs 238, provides that voting residents of one state Penney's ALWAYS FIRST QUALITY who move into Maryland or Virginia and want to vote may do so without meeting resi dence requirements, if the Registrar of Voters receives a certification from his home state Registrar that he is eligible to vote. Rep. Green is contemplating legislation taking postmaster ships out of politics complete ly; taking the Water Pollu tion Control program from the Public Health Service and set ting up a separate administra tion within the department of Health, Education and Wel fare, and one requiring Cabi net officers to appear before Congress and answer ques tions on administration action, similar to the British system.
