Thouyh the new Congress is barely under
way, fresh attempts to abolish the House
Committee on Un-American Activities already
are being pressed. They deserve to be beaten
off.
Among the new year's petitioners for
abolition are several dozen members of the
organization, Women Strike for Peace. They
arc presumably outraged because the Commit
tee recently looked into alleged links be
tween their movement and communism.
We are also hearing again from the Na
tional Committee to Abolish the House Un
American Activities Committee. It supports its
new call with an alleged 5,000 signatures.
Without here going into the matter of re
ported subversive elements operating in and
behind the abolition group, it is possible to
argue that the case against the House com
mittee should be dismissed on its face.
Our principal national watchdog against
subversion is, of course, the FBI. Few ques
tion that, overall, it docs a superb job in fer
reting out Red spies, keeping tabs on Com
munist activities and aims, measuring the size
of the internal threat.
But the Communist adversary is ingen
ious, resourceful, many-faceted. We should
welcome some reasonable diversity in our in
vestigative approach to the problem.
The need for such diversity is perhaps

On January 9 the first session of the 8!Uh
Congress of the United States will convene.
It will have a heavy schedule. But its most
urgent order of business should be to see that
the federal income tax rales, enacted to sup
port a war economy, arc reduced to a level
more consonant with peacetime economic
growth.
The principal obstacles to this objective
arc two:
la) Despite predominant business opinion,
there is sonic demand that government expen
ditures also be cut. If these can be kept from
increasing materially it will be a consider
able achievement.
(I)) Sentiment will differ as to where
the more substantial portion of the cuts should
be made. This should not be permitted to de
feat the purpose. Reductions should be, as
(he President has indicated, across the board,
from lop to bottom on both personal and cor
porate earnings.
Appropriations, of course, arc and should
be related closely to taxation. The defense
budget may rise unavoidably by around
000,000,000 but should be held below thai fig
ure if possible. The civil budget should be
hclcd within its present limits.

sufficient justification for the House com
mittee's continued existence. Yet there are
other reasons.
There is no point in leaving the field of
Red subversion to the executive branch alone.
It is a legitimate arena of inquiry for Con
gress, with its properly wide latitude in in
vestigation. Furthermore, anyone who examines close
ly the printed record of the House commit
tee's hearings and studies over the years will
find the documents informed, with a very
substantial knowledge of communism in most
of its multifarious aspects.
To argue that what this group does other,
regular committees could do as well or better
is to ignoi-t two things: the special commit
tee's long background in this field and the
already overburdened operations of other
committees.
To argue that the Un-American Activi
ties Committee should die because it has
sometimes trampled individual liberties is to
contend that no instrument is better than an
imperfect one.
If that standard were applied broadly, we
would have no president, no Congress and no
business corporal ions. We would also have no
committees to abolish other committees.
Let the House committee mind closely
the rights of those it investigates. But let it
stand as the useful second watchdog it is.

cept marketing controls. If they do not, a
gradual reduction of government support
prices seems inevitable.
Foreign aid will evidently he a point of
serious attack by those who would cither
spend less over all or spend more at home.
The case for the value of foreign aid is as
cogent as ever but that value must more than
ever be proved by effective administration.
The Kennedy administration naturally
will bring forward a number of measures
characterized as part of its program. Among
these, federal aid to education has been pend
ing through many administrations. The ques
tions here are largely whether it can be for
mulated on a basis that will distribute money
only where needed and will not subsidize sec
tarian schools.
Renewed attempts will be made to place
medical care for the aged on a social security
tax basis. The same reasons exist as at last
session for continuing instead with the Kerr
Mills law in that field. A bill to create a de
partment of urban affairs is expected again to
find rough going.
One subject may be forced upon congres
sional attention which is not a carryover from
any strong legislative effort last year. This is
the matter of governmental powers lo deal
with widespread anil unresolved labor dis
putes which affect the public interest. Such
conflicts exist on the nation's railroads, along
the docks of the entire eastern seaboard, in
newspapers of the nation's largest city, and
potentially in other industries.

trK Congress To Update
Creaking Machinery
. By PETER EUSON'
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
WASHINGTON (NEAI-Kcd up
with their own inability to get
things done under outmoded rules
and traditions that have been con
sidered almost sacred, more
and more congressmen are lining
up this year behind proposals for
icform and reorganization of Con
gress. The case with which the House
nf Representatives put through
lermancnt enlargement of its
Rules Committee to 15 members
on opening day indicates the
change in sentiment.
An effort lo make it a little
easier to curb Senate debate by
majority vote alter 15 days of
filibustering may have tougher
sledding. With bipartisan backing
from 10 senators the new propos
al was given a chance until Sen.
Everett Dirksen, Republican min
ority leader, called lor a quick
end of debate on the subject,
saying there was no steam be
hind it.
These reforms, intended lo let
Congress work instead of prevent
ing it from acting on legislative
proposals blocked by minorities
arc just a beginning straws in
the wind.
Twenty two senators from both
parties have already signed up
as cosponsors of Pennsylvania
Democrat Joseph S. Clark's plan
lo set up a new Joint Committee
on Organization of Congress. They
have staked lop billing for it as
Concurrent Resolution No. 1.
It will be open or 10 days lo
receive signatures from other sen
ators who may wish to sponsor it
before it is referred tn the Rules
Committee lor consideration. A
similar resolution is being intro
duced in tiie House by Rep. John
Lindsay, It-.N'.V.
It has been 16 years since Con
gress was last reorganized. But
Ihcre is some feeling in both
houses that, since the earlier re
organization didn't d.i all that
was expected of it. another rc
lorm drive won't do anv more.
A principal feature of the I.a-Kollette-Monroney
Reorganization
Act of 1!M7 was simplification of
the committee structure. While
the number nf standing commit
tees was reduced, subcommittees
multiplied. This mad-- the ma

strong elforts are made lo achieve

needed to tarry out our ohjec
t'ves." One year later, the President
issued a similar directive on man
im.ver utilization, ordering the
"same amount of work lo be
perlnrmed by increasingly fewer
people."

chinery as complex as it was he
fore. Senior Congressmen who want
things left as they are argue
that while congressional practices
may be cumbersome and slow
moving, they have served t h e
country well, so why change?
But the last session of Congress
did not adjourn until Oct. 1:1.
This was only three weeks before
election. There was a tie-up of
money bills caused by a personal
prestige feud between House and
Senate Appropriations committees.
That lied up many government
agencies and disgusted even some
of the oldest members.
This has resulted in a number
of new proposals for congressional
reorganization this year. One of
the most promising has come trom
Sen. Clifford Case, R-N.J. He is
a cosionsor of the Clark resolu
tion, and its other backers are
also sjionsoring the Case proposal.
Rep. Henry S. Reuss. O-Wis.. is
introducing a similar ptoposal in
the House.
Case calls for creation of a new
Commission on Congressional Re
organization. It would be modeled
on former President Herbert Hoov
er's Commisson on Organization
of Government. Its membership
would be three senators, three
representatives and six private
citizens qualilicd lo make studies
and recommendations on improv
ing the functioning of the legis
lative processes.
Specifically, the Case plan would
require the bi-partisan commission
lo report on 12 of the most fre
quently criticized congressional
procedures: '
Obsolete rules. Staffing and
operation of committees. The
congressional work lead. Floor
procedures. Conflicts oi interest
nf congressmen. Senate and House
expense accounting. Financing of
congressional duties on executive
apjiointments. Legislative over
sight. Congressional power over
appropriations. Operation and reg
ulation of lobbies.
Other "reforms" which have
been widely discussed without re
ceiving open backing include in
creasing representatives' terms
from two years lo lo.if and in
creasing all congressmen's sala
