: The critic praised it highly,

That isn't all.

as follows:

He said he favored elimination

favored a "minimum fee" rather

WASHINGTON l'Pl - Ad
ministration Democrats in the
House began feuding among
themselves today after routing
President Kennedy s conservative
foes in the first struggle of the
new Congress.
The uitra-party strife erupted
over the filling of Democratic
vacancies on the House Ways S:
Means Committee. T' e outcome
could determine the fate of Ken
nedy's controversial medicare
program for the aged.
The issue will be settled at a
caucus of the 258 House Demo
crats Monday, a few hours be
fore the President delivers his
State of the Union address. Ken
nedy s speech before a jomtl
meeting of the House and Senate
at 12:30 p.m. EST Monday will
be carried to the nation by radio
and television.
Kennedy triumphed at the
opening of the 88th Congress
Wednesday when the House by a
surprisingly wide margin of
votes beat down an attempt by
conservatives to seize control of
its legislative machinery.
Slight Vote Increase
The roll call vote was 235-196.
That compares with the 217-212
margin by which administration
forces squeaked to victory in the;

two years. The rules committee
controls the flow of legislation to
the House floor.
In the Senate, an uneasy truce
prevailed. Senators agreed to put
off their rules fight until after the
President's address. This battle
will pit northern liberals who
seek to lighten the reins on Sen

The big question facing House
Democrats is whether Rep. Phil
Lantlrum. D-Ga., shall be given
a seal on the Ways & Means
Committee despite his refusal to
say publicly whether he would
use his vote to help keep the
President's medicare bill bottled
up in the committee.
Some Democratic liberals op

would be satisfied with private
assurances have not been forth
coming. Two Democratic seats on the
committee are vacant. One seems

by liberals who consider Uiem

Dairymen
Okay New
Milk Laws
SALEM (UPD - New legisla
tion to control Hie price and pro
duction of milk was approved
Wednesday by the Oregon Dairy
men's Association.
If it clears the legislature, it
would replace a temporary law
that expired at the start of this
year.
The dairymen voted to leave
the administration of milk con
trols under the State Department
of Agriculture. They called, how
ever, for a new advisory commit
tee to work with Hie department.
The advisory committee would
be appointed by the governor. It
would include four producers, two
independent processors and one
cooperative processor.
The advisory committee also
would have the power to approve
regulations set by the deparlment.
The proposed legislation calls
for a three-price system to set
minimum prices on bottle milk,
ice cream and cottage cheese,
and bultcr and hard cheese.
Hearings would be held to es
tablish prices.
The proposal also would make
it possible for producers to estab
lish a milk market pool in an
effort to control surpluses.
Through private contracts, the
market pool could extend across
stale lines.
Directors include Bcrtil Nelson
of Bend, Fred Knox of Gaston,
Peter Pon of Roseburg, and Dale
Schcllar of Hillsboro.
