The closing hour of the first
session of this Vilh Congress did
not offer very much in excitement
or interest for the people who
packed the galleries of the House
to watch it adjourn "sine die".
Nor had the session dragged on
past the previously predicted July
31 adjournment dale as long as
some of us thought il might. Only
three or four controversial matters
remained to be disposed of afler
Saturday and those were handled
in more or less routine manner
Monday and Tuesday, There did j
not seem to be much of the last
minute rush and contusion which
has usually marked the end of a
session.
The last two or three hours were
dull almost to the point of benv
boring, particularly for the specta
tors which accounts, I guess, for
the fact that there was very little
singing, Jnkc telling and humorous
- speech making which usually oc
' curs when the final gavel falls.
Several big bills which were
earlier .scheduled for final action
during this session were put over
until next year. Included in that
list were the sugar allotment bill,
the Upper Colorado reclamation
bill, federal aid to school con
struction, amendments to the Social
Security Act and some others.
These can and doubtless will be
disposed of early in the next ses
sion which convenes in January.
The President suffered two dis
appointments late in this session.
The housing bill as finally passed
was not what he wanted. It in
cluded 45,000 units of straight fed
eral public housing. His request
wan for public housing to be con
structed only tu provide low rent
homes for tlio.so who were forced
to vacate Mum areas as tho re
sult of the sluin-cleaniuco and what
!s called the Urban Redevelopment
Program. Since the administration
can still control the allocation of
funds lor public housing tho Con
gressional action on that subject
was not too much of a blow but
the failure of the Congress to pass
the highway construction program
was a real set-back.
I am now preparing a summary
of this session of Congress which
wil be sent to quite a large mail
ing list of people in our Congres
sional District. If you would like

to the District" by your Congress.

Office Building, Washington. D.C.
This Is the last of these weekly
letters from Washington for tin
year, After Heptftnibor S Helen and
I will be at our homo in Roacburg
until the end of (ho year. Mean-
my friends during the recess,
Since this is my last newsletter
for this session I would like to
comment on some of the legisla
tion which was before us this year.
One of the first actions of this
Congress was to pass the Formosa
Resolution which gave the Presi
dent the right to defend Formosa
and the Pescadores. At the time
I stated, in one of my newslet
ter. s, that this would stop the Chi
nese Communist aggressor In his
tracks. So far that's what it has
done.
President Eisenhower's trip to
Geneva accomplished a great deal.
It opened the door which had so
long been shut. The door to friend
ly negotiations with Communist
European development that,
f ike wise produced the leisure time
for the conquerors and wealth for
the aggrandizement of their culture.
This sounded plausible and so
the pedantic theory was accepted
by us as beuig truth our immature
judgment would not dare to ques
tion the wisdom of our elder
teacher since we were required to
pass the couise and to pa.ss one
must shine by conforming. Never
theless, the thesis was as lalse
as many another theory of the
teachuig of the European philoso
pher, its very foundation crumbles
as we see the growth of culture-
that the descendants of the highly
civilized Incas are like most of
their buildings, terraces, and roads
they likewise are in ruins. Ex
ploited for four centuries by their
European conquerors the Indian
has become to a very great degree
a modern degraded peon. Only
occasionally are they physically
impressive. They wish only to be
left alone. They resent inquisitive
ness and protest themselves
against it with apathy and indif
ference. As Kurt Severin expresses
it: "The air is cold in the Andes
and so is the heart and mood of
the Quechua."
The spirit that characterized
their ancestors is gone. They dead-

During this session an opening
hearlmt was held on the John Day
bill. The chairman of the commit
tee has assured us that our next
hearing will be set for a very
early date. This legislation, as you
know, authorizes early construction
nf the John Day Dam on the Co
lumbia River. Under this bill any
private, or public utilities company
can pay for' power in advance, up
to 273 million dollars, thereby sup
plying money for construction of
the power generating facilities,
without raising it from the tax
payers. The p r o J e ct will be
owned, constructed and operated
at all times by the federal govern
ment. The government would ad
vance 37 million dollars to pay
for navigation and Irrigation facil
ities. Thus the U.S. government
would own a 310 million dollar
project while only using 37 million
dollars of the taxpayers money to
ouua it.
A favorable report was obtained,
from both the department of in
terior and the Bureau of the Budg-

held on this legislation by the

Insular Affairs, at The Dalles,
Oregon, on November 8. In this
way we will be ready to push for
early Floor action at the next ses
sion. This project which will be locat
ed at Mnupin, Oregon. Is an Irri
gation project, with some recre
alionnl features. In constructing
this work over $850,000 will be
spent In Wasco County.
This is the lust session of Con

To this day, the llama has never
