Washington - (UPD - It got
a late start, and nobody
knows when it will finish, but
things are looking up for the
oqik 'nneress. The national
legislative machine Is finally
beginning to roil.
Even since last January the
professional pessimists, ana
-i.. via nemihlicans. have
hopn nrovine regularly that
nothing much, good or bad
would come out of this Dem
ocratic congress. And for a
long time, nothing much did
13. .f nniir the nictUfO i
rhaneine. Not even Charlie
Halleck of Indiana, the GOP
House leader, is currently
willing to label it a do-noth-iig
Congress.
That dots not maan that
that all it coming up rotas
for Prasidant Kannady and
his Democratic congraition
al leadari. But it's a fact
that administration forcas

One thine that gave their
cnirtc 9 lift, was the action of
the House Ways and Means
committee In drafting an ?U
billion tax cut which has a

date, of final enactment be
fore Congress quits ior mc
year.
Vlfl, a
The other sine qua non of
this session, as iar as ie
president is concerned, is a
meaningful civil rights bill.
As of today, committees on
both sides of the capital are
still tearing their hair over
what to do about that.
The problem is not so much
what these committee mem
bers want to see in the bill,
but what Democratic strat
egists figure they can pass
through the House and-more
important in this sase -through
the Senate, where a
southern filibuster will have
to be broken.
A congressional consensus
on civil rights is yet to take
shape. Many members for one
thing still are looking for
some clear reading of the na
tional temper. Democratic
leaders are satisfied, how
ever, that something has to be
done and will be done at this
session of Congress to protest
against race discrimination In
various fields.
The nuclear test ban treaty
with Russia and Britain,
another top priority item, is
still under scrutiny but seems
assured of ratification by the
Senate,
if tM. rinneresx should ad
journ with nothing more than
a tax cut, a civil ngms u.
and the test ban under its belt,
Democrats will call the ses
sion a good one. But it begins
to be obvious that, despite the
slow start, a good bit more
than that will have been done
by the time the final bell
sounds.
Republicans naturally pro
fess to see each passing week
as further proof that Demo
nrita i-n'i he trusted to man
age the nation's affairs. They
twit the Democrats dally.
They demand to know what
became ot Mr. Kennedy's
promised leadership to get the
country moving again.
When Democratic House
Leader Carl Albert of Okla
homa was announcing the pro
gram for last week, Rep. H.
R. Gross (R-Iowa), a perpetual
burr under the leadership sad
dle, wanted to know what
plans had been made to cele
Vimt Phristmas.
Albert said none, but In
event the House is in session
that late, he will put Gross in
xhnrso of the Yule observa
tions. Whereupon, Rep. Clar-
enrn .T Rrown. Ohio, anotner
Republican skilled with the
needle, volunteered the hope
that Albert would pick some
V,nHv else.
Gross is known hereabouts
as the last of the big savers,
and Brown said putting him
in the Santa Claus role would
surely mean a pretty skimpy
Christmas for all.
Despite this kind of con
tinuing badinage over what
of Congress, Albert lately has
been able to keep the House
members more or less busy,
and at last major hurdles are
being, or about to be, crossed.

Decision Expected

Spokane - (UPD - The initial
decision in the Spokane area
air service case is expected
from Thomas L. Wrenn, Civil
Aeronautics board examiner,
sometime next month.
The case-involves the man
datory stop at Pendleton,
Ore., by United Air Lines.
George Shoemaker, Spo
kane attorney, said he had re
ceived no official indication

announced, but if Wrenn fol
lows his usual timetable it
should be ready in September.
Shoemaker represents local
interests In efforts to have the
so-called Pendleton restriction
lifted.
