EDSON IN WASHINGTON
PACE-4
fidtbimL (paqsL
These are the days when the Congress is
referred to as "new." The 88th is barely get
ting warmed up. Yet what seems to impress
sonic political specialists most is how little
changed it is in real substance.
: Surveys of congressional elections indi
cate that roughly 50 per cent of United States
House scats never change from one party to
another though they are up for grabs every
two years. In another 25 per cent of these
seats, changes are uncommon.
. . Thus, as measured by party control, some
three-fourths of the House is largely unaf
fected by any but the very highest political
tides. The last time one rolled was in 193(5,
when the Democrats assisted by Franklin D.
Roosevelt took 334 of 435 scats.
, Normally only sonic 125 seats are gen
uinely competitive. And the Republicans are
now complaining again that they have to win
far: more of these than do the Democrats to
seize House control. For the Democrats root
their strength in the one-party congressional
districts.
Setting the facts against the evident pur
poses of the Founding Fathers produces a rich
irony. The aim of having House elections ev
ery two years affecting all 435 scats was
to make the lower chamber especially "re
sponsive" to popular will. Obviously only a
small part is affected by moderate shifts in
the voting winds.
': In the last year, a great stir has been
created about correcting some of these inequi
ties through reapportionment. But Republi
cans, smarting on the short end of present ar
rangements, now argue that much broader
Irresponsible Tax Reduction
: Kveryonc, needless to say, would like to
pay less in taxes. But not everyone believes
that tax reduction now, in the light of current
prospects and conditions, makes sense.
: President Charles B. Shuman of the
American Farm Bureau Federation is among
them. Speaking before the Federation's annual
convention, he expressed the opinion that tax
reduction without a corresponding reduction
in government spending would be irrespon
sible. Attractive as a tax reduction is, this point
of view must be given full consideration. It
is true that some top officials of the govern
ment, who are concerned with tax policy, now

The Illusion Of Change
effort is needed than has been suggested so
far.
Congressional reapportionment is com
pelled by law only in those states which,
under a complex formula governed by popula
tion changes, either gain or lose seats after a
decennial census.
After l'JBO, for instance, some 25 states
just half the total had gains or losses. The
other 25 held their old number of seats and
bad no need to rcdistrict.
But GOP experts think they may be suf
fering nearly as much from population imbal
ance within these states as from improper or
insufficient reapportionment in those areas
compelled to act by law.
The steady drift of people from rural
zones to cily and suburb thins out many dis
tricts and vastly overloads others. Yet there
often is no congressional scat-shuffling.
Republicans may one day sponsor legis
lation to force periodic redisricting, even
when a slate's seat quota remains the same.
Their stake in such change is clear. The
swelling suburbs, where they already do well
competitively, loom as their great opportuni
ty to recapture the congressional power that
was theirs so much of the time before the
Roosevelt era. In the 30 years since 1032, the
COP has had House control but twice.
No one can imagine easy sledding for
any legislation that would make congression
al elections truly more competitive. The single-parly
district lawmakers, generally some
300 strong, must surely be the world's most
powerful lobby.
argue that deficits arc not necessarily breed
ers of inflation. Maybe so but their argu
ments arc contravened by the hard experience
of the postwar years. Perhaps ever-increasing
deficits of ten, fifteen, twenty billion a
year would not produce more inflation in a
time when there is idle plant capacity and sub
stantial unemployment. But what of the time
that the government is working for when
the plants arc all busy and we have full em
ployment? The ranks of those, in and out of ('(in

ing is a prerequisite of sound and safe lax

WASHINGTON INK A' - You
have to carry your checkbook at
tlie ready if you want to stand in
well on the New Frontier.
The philosophy of "ask not
what your country can do for
you, but what you can do for your
country'" has been carried to ex
tremes. If you don't volunteer,
ou are invited.
Washington is pretty agog now
over two parties celebrating Ihe
second anniversary of President
Kennedy's inaugural while Demo
cratic leaders were in town to
plan 19M strategy.
First, a $l,0OU-a-platc dinner at
the new Internationa! Inn. The
HOO or more big fish attending this
aflair got favors of a free ticket
to a $ll)0-a-seat gala which fol
lowed at the National Guard ar
mory, without food, for maybe
5.000 little fish.
The party could gross maybe
a million dollars toward reducing
the National Committee debt.
No printed guests lists were
available (or either aflair to iden
tify the suckers. This trick was
used extensively by the Republi
cans during Ihe Eisenhower ad
ministration, but the GOP holds no
copyright on it and both parties
use every strong-arm method
they can think ot to raise political
funds.
Washington newsmen have re
ceived many anonymous phone
call protests on this in recent
days. Most have come from career
civil servants in the upper grades,
complaining they have been pres
sured to buy tickets to the $W0-a-seat
gala.
The callers can't reveal their
identity lor fear of political re
prisal. The implied threat is that
if they don't contribute, they won't
get that promotion or might be
down-graded.
Sen. John .1. Williams, R-Dcl-has
demanded an investigation of
newspaper charges lhal govern
ment workers were (old to buy
tickets $10 down and $10 a month
if they couldn't pay cash.
On a smaller scale, this is char
acteristic of the zeal and inge
nuity shown in raising Ihe Siwtl
million in ransom fond, drugs
and cash lo get Ihe Ray of Pigs
prisoners released from Castro
cells. The ransom was not so
