Congressional Record
One of the nation's most curious periodicals
is the Congressional Record.
It is often quoted by people who wish to
make a point, on the theory that anything that
appears in a publication with such an authoritative-sounding
name must be authoritative.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The Record is a mish-mash of debate, offi
cial records, prayers, eulogies, correspondence,
editorials, articles, even poetry anything, in
short, which any member of. either House of
the Congress wants to get "on the record."
M
LIAVIXG nothing better to do one recent eve
ning, we took a copy home with us, curled
up in a chair, and went through it. Note we did
not say "read it," although we read a good
deal, there is far more than an evening's read
ing in an average issue.
In this issue (for Nov. 26) there were 132
pages of the body of the book (from page 21599
to 21731; page numbers continue from issue to
issue throughout a session of Congress) and 26
pages of Appendix, plus five or six pages of
directory and proceedings. (The appendix is a
catch-all where members can print articles,
speeches, etc., ad nauseam.)
Most of it is printed in Vfa point type (slight
ly smaller than that used in Mail Tribune news
stories), but much of it is in 6'i point type
(slightly larger than that used in Mail Tribune
bowling scores, markets and classified ads).
It contains a lot a LOT of reading
material.
OSTENSIBLY, the body of the Record is a ver
batim transcript of the daily proceedings of
the House and Senate. (To spare tender Congres
sional feelings, the House comes first one day,
the Senate first the next day.)
In actuality, it is almost impossible to tell
exactly what did transpire, except in very gen
eral terms. Some of the speeches printed in the
Record have never been uttered in the halls of
Congress, but are there as "an extension of re
marks." Each member of Congress sees a proof of
his part in the day's debate, and may edit or
revise it as he sees fit. Therefore, the Record
often records what a member wishes he'd said,
instead of what he did say.
'
IN THE Senate, particularly, it is difficult to
get any coherent idea of the proceedings,
because the Senate dearly cherishes the right of
Senators to say anything they want to, and at
about any time.
Thus a debate on the merits of the Library
Services Act may be going along interminably
1 (from pace 21601 to page 21613) when, all of
a sudden, up pops a resolution to pay the ex- sceas M"';
penses ot the Senate committee attending tne
funeral of President Kennedy. This attended to,
by unanimous consent, the debate continues.
Because the Senate has no limit on debate,
the portion of the Record devoted to its pro
ceedings usually is considerably fatter than that
recording happenings in the House.

THE TRANSFER OF POWER
Last week has taught us how
right was President Kennedy
when he chose Lyndon 'Johnson
as his running mate. His choice
was not only the smartest kind
of politics, it was most discern
ing and wise.
Almost certainly Kennedy
could not have won without
Johnson. But there was more
than shrewdness in the choice.
As we know from insiders at
the time, Kennedy regarded his
great rival as the man, were he
himself to fail, who was best
qualified to be President. That
judgment has been well vindi
cated by the smoothness and
sureness, by the natural as
sumption of authority, with
which the transfer ot power took
place.
It would have been impossible
to make more convincing Lyn
don Johnson's dedication to the
aims and aspirations of the Ken
nedy administration. There can
be no question ot the depth ana
the sincerity of his intention to
continue" what, Kennedy began.
He took over at once the legis
lative program, the same party
strategy for 1964, and he has
made it quite clear tnat ne
wants President Kennedy's ad
visers to stay with him.
But having taken heart from
all that, we have in all piety
and reverence to remind our
selves that intentions do not
govern the world. John F. Ken
nedy never had that kind of soft
illusion. Intentions must con
front the course of history,
which is insensitive and unfeel
ing. WE SHALL be wrong, there

Kennedy policies as i( they were

partly completed. The truth is
persuasiveness or that he was
not a shrewd enough political
manipulator. It is that we have

periods, recurrent in our history

there is generated a tension
which leads to a perpetual state
of crisis or near crisis.
The problem is not one of en
croaching communism but one
strictly made-in-Turkey.
From the regime of the de
posed and later executed Pre
mier Adnan Menderes, Turkey
inherited galloping inflation and
the headaches left by pell-mell
but unplanned industrialization.
Two attempted military coups
failed but political unrest has
continued to mount.
Finally, in last month's local
elections the opposition Justice
party emerged the chief winner
and this week Premier Ismet
Inonu, Turkey's 79-year-old link
with Ataturk, stepped down.
The Justice party widely is
regarded as the heir to the out
lawed Democratic party which

people the energy to propel

In foreign affairs, President
Kennedy's crucial experience
was to learn that American in
fluence in the world, and, there
fore, the President's influence,
were diminished as compared
with what they were in the
1940s and the 1950s. When he
ran for office in 1960, he affirm
ed without questioning any im
portant part of it the postwar
iegacy in foreign affairs. He
would achieve its objectives
more efficiently. With one
great exception, this has not
been done for the reason that it
could not be done.
He achieved on thing brilliant

of events, and that has been to

is decidedly in our favor, for
that John F. Kennedy will long
be remembered.
farmer's rising discontent, the
Justice party centered its fire
on the new taxes necessary to
pay for Turkey's ambitious five
year development program.
Since Inonu opposes a coali
tion with the Justice party
which also is regarded with
suspicion by the Turkish mili
tary, Turkey now seems des
tined for an extended period of
political uncertainty at a par
ticularly unfortunate time.
Turkey's development p r o
gram still is in its first year
and is at a critical stage.
The first year has been de
voted to road construction,
communications, harbor facili
ties, schools and clinics.

were not immediate income
producers. To pay for them
taxes were raised and must be
raised again if an ambitious
program to invest more than
another billion dollars in the
Turkish economy in 1964 is to
be realized.
Included are plans to in
crease oil production, the man
ufacture of a new oil pipeline
and plants to manufacture fer
tilizer, plastics and synthetic
rubber.
Turkey needs an annual in
crease of 7 per cent in her
gross national product if she is
to keep ahead of an annual
population growth of 4.5 per

PERSONAL PREJUDICES
There is a certain prevalent type of pseudo-religious person
who not only feels that repentance washes out past sins but
also gives sanction for future ones, so that each act of repentance
somehow buys "credit" for tomorrow transgressions.
People arc neatly divided into (hose who (alk about things
they don't tlo, and those who do things they don't talk about:
and society conies down hard only on those rash enough to
try to combine (lie two.
Shaw said so many true and wonderfully witty things that
it's a pity one of his silliest remarks is the most often quoted
that "youth is such a wonderful thing, it's a shame to waste
it on children" for in the first place, youth is also a time of
trials and errors which we mercifully forget as We grow older;
and. in the second, it is not at all wasted on children, but would
be utterly wasted on adults.
Speaking of children, it appalls me to see so many mothers
holding their small children in the front scat of the car with
Ihein. while the father drives; they would not permit the chil
dren to sii on the edge of a second-story porch, yet this "suicide
seal" in an automobile is far more dangerous.
The three most important problems facing the 20th Century,
in my opinion, are (1) Automation, (2) Population explosion,
and (3) Peaceful use of atomic energy; and while the world
quarrels about outmoded political and economic concepts, none
of these problems is being realistically attacked by any nation
or combination of powers, who are still slopping through the mire
of 19th century Machtpolitik.
Of all traits, I find that of giving unsolicited advice Ihe most
offensive especially since the chronic advice-giver is usually
a person whose poor judgment and rigid convictions have made
a mess of his own life.
A father tinkering with his motor was asked by his little boy
what a certain part was; "Never mind!" I heard the father say,
and the boy slunk away; ten years from now, the father will
wonder why the boy never minds.

while one who is healthy and sad excites our contempt; how
