county in the program come reports
that nearly all enrollees expect to
complete those activities and enter
prises on which they will be judged.

Along the Potomac
to Washington
by ]. Glenn Beall
Congressman Sixth District

Last week the House voted to ex-
tend the Federal aid program for
hospital construction for another four
years, or until 1865, to increase the
percentage Of Federal contributions
for certain hospital construction by
the States, and to authorize the APP
preparation Of an additional seventy
five million dollars Of Federal funds
to carry out the program.
If the Senate and President ap-
prove legislation passed by the House
last week. one hundred million dol
lars of Federal funds will be made
available to local political subdivi-
sions and school districts for planning
needed public construction, as hedge
against future depressions. The one
hundred million dollar fund will. of
course, go to engineering the archi-
tectural concerns for plans, and none
for actual construction. A similar
sixty-fve million dollar fund for local
project planning was authorized at
the close Of World War II, and a
backlog Of two billion dollars worth
Of projects are now con the shelf"
awaiting future action.
Administration leaders in the
House and Senate are hoping to have
the present legislative schedule
cleared sufficiently to adjourn sine
die late this week; but legislative OBJ
servers believe the First Session of
the 81st Congress may drag on until
the last of this month.
The Senate marched up the hill and
down again on farm legislation last
week. First, by vote margin the
Senate voted down an amendment to
continue the Government price sup
port program for basic farm com
modities at 80 per cent of parity.
Then, later, on a motion to reconsider,
the vote on the amendment was tied
until Vice President Barley cast his
vote for the amendment. The whole
measure was then referred back to
the Committee on Agriculture for
further consideration. Unless a com
promise farm bill satisfactory to both
House and Senate can be agreed upon,
Congress- may be held in session for
some time in an endeavor to break
the deadlock
Republican Senators are indignant
over the announcement last week that
the investigation of the five per-
cent racket, in which General
Vaughn and other Presidential ia
vorites became involved, would be
postponed until next year. Many
Senators contend that the investi-.
cation Of the whole unsavory mess
surrounding the activities of those
selling political influence should be
carried through and cleaned up re-
