THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The beloved Christian leader, DR.. John
Mott says that text which has ''most in
fluenced my life and the exercize of my
influence during the last two tragic and
fateful years is Isaiah 1853: "When Thy
judgements are (abroad) in the earth, the
inhabitants of the world will learn
righteousness. Of this text he says furth-
er: "In all my many years and in all my
world contacts have never found the
people Of all parts of the world made SO
chastened SO humbled, SO Openminded,
SO eager for light, SO willing to follow the
light"

RY RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON.- of all the
complaint over time-wasting COM
mittee methods in Congress only
one small change has been accept
ed by the Democratic leadership.
That small concession to total
war was made grudgingly in de-
ference to the rise of air warfare,
news of which finally appears to
have made its impression. Speak
er Rayburn is welded to the House
rituals and to committee privi-
leges as if they had some religious
sanctity, instead Of being merely
tools to work with. He has. how.
ever, finally given his reluctant
blessing to permitting an exchange
of top members between the House
Naval and Military Affairs Com
mittees.
That was proposed by Chairman
Vinson of the House Naval Affairs
Committee. The chairman of the
two committees and the top Re-
publican member of each will have
membership and voting rights in
both committees. Rep. Vinson
feels that the need of unified
air program makes this slight
amount of overlapping between
the Military and Naval Commit
tees advisable. Chairman May
of the House Military Affairs Com
mittee would 60 further. He would
adopt similar arrangement be-
tween these two committees and
the two subcommittees that
handle military and naval appro-
priations, so that all four commit
tees would interlock. But that is
practically heresy.
Except for the little Vinson
change, the machinery of Congress
must creak along as it did in the
happy days of Rutherford B.
Hayes. Hundred-billion-dollar bud
gets must adapt themselves to
moss-covered traditions. Old-tim-
ers who run the House-and it is
about as bad in the Senate-are
as sentimental over their old rules
as ivy-league alumni over their
college traditions. 1t matters lit
tie that General Marshall and Ad-
miral King must commute to Con-
gress and repeat testimony among
four different committees every
time they want money. One day
not long ago General Marshall
spent the morning before Senate
committee and then repeated his
story to a House committee in the
afternoon-all because the senators
and representatives are too jeal-
Gus of their prerogatives to sit in
a joint meeting and save half Of
the time they take from the men
who run the war.
These are not just the criticisms
of outsiders. Inside Congress
plenty of members recognize the
outmoded absurdity of the waste
full committee practices. But the
pressure for change comes most
ly from Republicans, or from
few younger Democratic members
like Rep. Gore of Tennessee and
Rep. Monroney of Oklahoma. Rep.
Dirksen, an Illinois Republican,
argues to deaf ears for the hir-
ing of expert staff research men
to assist committees.
Twice the President has been
given considerable authority to re-
mold the executive end of our gov
ernment," Rep. Gore said in a re-
cent article ir Golfers Magazine.
"Only Congress has been untouch-
ed and is still plodding along with
the methods and ceremonies of
fifty years ago."
