Capital
CONGRESSIONAL.
ADJOURNMENT
BY CONGRESSMAN
NJ. COLMER

With both the Republican
and Democratic National Con-
ventions slated to meet in
Philadelphia in June and July,
the drive is on in the Congress
to adjourn, if possible, by the
18th Of June, but if adjourn
mcnt turns out to be impossible
then to get as much of the
must" legislation enacted be-
fore that date as possible. Then,
If necessary, to finish out the
must" legislation, the Con-
gress would merely recess, at
tend the conventions, and come
back to finish up.
The prospects for adjourn
ment, in spite of the leaders in
sistence, is none too bright.
The question of the draft, fed
eral aid to education, Rivers
and Harbors and flood control,
increases for federal employees.
amendments to the tax bill, am
endment to the Social Security
Act, the legislation authoriz-
ing the admittance of some
100000 refugees to this coun-
try, and many other important
bills, most of which are high
ly controversial and call for
extensive debate. are all re-
naming to be acted upon. In
addition, there are the usual
run of appropriation bills pro-
viding for the necessary funds
for the various departments Of
the federal government yet to
be enacted.
Early in the year we pointed
out in this column that this was
going to be a political year in
Congress, that every effort was
going to be made by the lead
ers of both parties in the Con-
gress to secure the election Of
a president, and that the Con-
gress would be largely a po-
litical one, and that this was
true whether we liked it or not.
Subsequent events which have
taken place in the Congress
now justify that prophecy. This
being true it would be most un-
fortunate from the country's
standpoint to have Congress in
session this fall. After the nat
ional conventions, and the
adoption of the party platforms,
strong efforts would be made
by the party leaders to enact
as much of the platform into
legislation as possible as evil
dence of good faith. To illus
trate. the prospects are that
both parties will write a Civil
Rights Program into their re-
spective platforms. This would
mean that the Presidents Civ
il Rights Program, calling for
anti-lynching, anti-poll tax, an
iti-segregation, and FEPC, which
are now lying dormant, would
again be dragged out and a
strong effort made to enact one
or more OF them into law be-
fore the November elections. 1t
is also probable that much 9TH
er legislation equally as un-
sound would be pushed. 1t is
therefore to be hoped, in the
interest of the country, that
Congress will adjourn sine die
before the national conventions,
as scheduled.

Citizens in New Orleans
staged a march on Baton Rouge
to protest Governor Longs tax
program. Not too long ago they
staged a march on the polls to
give him a healthy election ma
jority in the Crescent City, as
did the rest of Louisiana. Looks
like Long aims to depart from
political precedent by carrying
out at least some of his cam
paign promises, and the aver
age Louisiana citizen is going
to pay through the nose to fl
nance them and at the same
time caulk the once leaking
seams of Huey's old political
machine.
DR.. Samuel Green, grand
dragon of the Ku Klux Khan,

such strong orders as the xxx
is an indication of the trend of
the times, and underlines the
tendency towards thought po-
lice, and the labelling of every
thought or idea that deviates
from that of J. Parnell Thomas
and his un-American affairs
committee, as either radical or
eommunistic.

The Republican controlled
30th Congress is driving for adj
journment on June 10th and
indications r that no action
will be taken on much legisla-
ton vital to the welfare of the
nation. Chairman Wolleott's
house banking committee con-
tinues to hold bottled up the
federal housing bill because
under terms of the bill some
funds would be used for gov
eminent housing for Iow-in-
come groups. One of the writ
ers of the bill is the Republi-
cans own presidential candi-
date, Robert Taft, who can be
accused of almost anything but
socialistic tendencies. But still,
the public housing provisions
of the bill are too much for the
Wollcott committee and they are
determined to protect the ma
ton from that old radical, Bob
Taft. II was Chairman Wolicott
and his committee, fronting for
the real estate lobby, that at
tempted to have all wartime
built surplus government hous-
ing sold for cash only. If Chair
man Wollcott had been success
full in his efforts, the veteran
and everyday citizen would
have had little chance of pur-
chasing one of these homes.
Most of this housing through
out the nation would have gone
in block sales to real estate in
vestment groups and big insur-
ance companies.
$50
Two of the chief problems
that faced the Both Congress
were the nation wide housing
shortage and a reduction of liv-
ing costs. 1t has accomplished
exactly nothing on either ex-
cept to open wider the flood
gates of initiation which sent
living costs soaring to higher
and higher levels and placed
home construction out of the
reach of middle and low income
groups. The COP policy
throughout the Both session has
been to mark time and wait for
40. That is behind proposed in
term extension on legislation
vital to the nation and world
recovery, such as the reciprocal
trade acts, atomic energy COM
mission appointments, farm
prize support act and others.

Air Group squabble

Defense Secretary James F.
Forrestal may not agree, one
senator thinks the controversy
over the 70-group Air Force
never would have come up had
Forrestal given a different an
swer to a single question.
The question arose during the
first of the Is trips Forrestal
has made to Capital Hill since
March II to testify on defense
legislation alone.
1t was at a hearing of the
Senate armed services commit
tee. Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge (R), Massachusetts,, al
though not a member of the
unit, was present. He asked
Forrestal whether the Air Force
had been increased to 20 groups.
Forrestal said it had not. Lodge
demanded why not.
Forrestall replied that the Air
Force did not have the planes
for the 70 groups.
However, one senator, who
prefers not to be named, con-
tends that the answer should
have been the size of the groups
had been increased. The sena-
tor believes that had Forrestal
given this explanation, the con-
troversy over the Air Force
boost from SIS to 20 groups
would never have arisen.

election, was corruptly named and
on Tuesday he Endorsed Mr.. Porter.
His actual reply to the question OF
what he would do nationally was:
s"Don't press me on that" But he
swiftly recalled that when Presi-
dent Truman came down on his
Texas tour, while the nomination
was in litigation, he invited john
son to ride on his train. I said then
that I was not surprised that q can
didate of the Pendergast machine
would support the candidate OF
fraud and corruption" He added
that he proposed Immediately to
start making a series of speeches
setting forth his position.
Mr.. Stevenson is actually working
for himself, as Porter he and
everybody else believes-cannot be
elected but will poll at most about
IS per cent of the vote. This seems
to be his pitch:
Having exhausted all legal rem
edies open to him, as he admits,
he expects to 60 before the Senate
January and protest the seating
of Mr.. johnson. The Committee OF
Privileges and Elections must, OF
course, hear his plea.
His Chance.
And here is where his chance
comes in: The Senate, barring an
unforeseen Dewey landslide, will be
narrowly Republican and dependent
upon Democratic friends for the
support of many Of its programs,
since it cannot rely firmly upon such
progressive rebels as Senator Morse
of oregon and Senator Tobey OF
New Hampshire. The Republican
majority will therefore be the more
inclined to examine this Texas race
carefully.
When this circumstance was ina
vited to Mr.. Stevenson's attention,
he answered coldly that he relied
upon the honesty Of men in both
parties. Later, in a discussion OF
the possibilities If the Senate re-
