NEW YORK, Feb. 8. (INS)-
The blouse is always with US, but
the 1862 sweater is better.
So says Lesur, a French wollen
firm which today introduced a
spring collection of Paris designed
sweaters for the ballroom, boudoir,
beach and bout any place else.
The new sweaters were designed
to fit 10 snugly than blouses.
Waitslines were always fitted, and
bustlines designed with fullness,
to emphasize the hour glass sill
houette.
For dressy wear, the plunging
neckline was in order. The neck

ing him 0 Everything from Com
munism to chicken thievery.
MI. Morris is no breatboat of
mine. 1t is my opinion that the
administration was not very
bright to appoint a man who is
subject to inquiry (and for all I
kno), he may be as innocent as
a new born babe) in the current
investigation into the sale of sur
plus tankers to the China Inter
national Foundation after World
War III.
But fair is fair, and for 81 own
party members to cry "Commun-
ism" because a man supported
Yugoslav or Russian relief organ
izations during the war, a course
of action urged upon us by our
w government, is pretty damned
silly.
By the same involved process
of reasoning, I suppose those of
us who supported the British re-
Lief organization and gave to Bun
dies for Britain during World War
II can expect to be labelled Com
munists if Aneuin Bevan, the ul-
tra-left Laborite, should ever
God forbid-become Prime Minis
ter of Great Britain. 1t makes just
as much ense.
At any moment, | expect to hear
the Republican opposition to Gen.
Eisenhower paint him as a Com
mie sympathizer because, in the
prosecution of the war, he asso-
ciated with some Communist brass
and even accepted a decoration or
two from them.
/ Yes, and the Democrats are
yapping at Mr.. Morris heels, too,
lest he turn up even more damn
ing evidence of their taking ways.
The scandal in Washington is
not only the administrations cava-
lier attitude toward graft and
worse. The bigger scandal is in
the fact that the Republicans want
no investigation lest it wo the
Democrats and through them, the
nation, any good. And in the para
llel fact that the Democrats want
no investigation lest it dampen
their chances to return to the
trough in '52.
For shame! A pox on both their
houses! would that a man, an
American, would come to court
with. no political ak to grind but
the good of the nation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8. (INs}-
The New York Giants, with leg
endary zeal and determination
stemming from the era Of Nc
Graw-not to mention Duroeher-
are talking themselves into win

They deny veaemently, however,

seek to cop a sneak and are more

He has never seen q major lea

kids train for athletics by sticking
their little hands in holes in the

The fact that Hannie Urbanus
has never seen a major league

Giants that they have no Interior
motives in taking him to their
spring camp at Phoenix, Ariz.
He will arrive Thursday of next
week in New York and depart the
following night for the training
base to learn more about baseball
for the e~dification Of bis home

what I think it is.
He had better hope, if he plans
to return to Holland before fall,
that Maglie, Hearn, Jansen, Kos

supposedly make up the best hurl-
ing staff in baseball, show early

Maybe he can't pitch a nickel's

finally will return home as SEIZED

NEW YORK, Feb. 9. (INS)-
Of the $50 plus members of the
United States Congress, I doubt if
10 Americans exist among them,
i. e. men who put the interest of
the nation as a whole above party
politics.
The rest of the Congress is di-
vided among myopically partisan
Republicans and Democrats to
whom the good of the party is so
far above the good of the nation
that it seems doubtful if they ever
give a moments thought to the
latter.
The taxpayer-that poor, face
less, anonymous schlup to whom
no one gives any consideration
has already been put on notice by
all concerned that he need expect
no legislation of any consequence
out of the present session Of Con-
gross.
And Why? Because each party
is afraid any legislation passed
during this election year might
rebound to the credit of the OPP
position politicos.
But, e you, maybe some of the
legislation might rebound to the
credit of the United States; may
be there is legislation desperately
needed by a great nation in this
time of mounting crisis. q
Ha, that kind of high-minded
twaddle is for squares with the
good Of America at heart, not for
political smoothies and sharpies
with the good Of the party in
mind. Now is the time for all good
men to come to the aid of the
party, and nuts to the nation!
All this has been prttily and
p~ersistently emphasized recently
by the Congressional attacks on
Newbold Morris, the New York
Republican, who has been ap-
pointed to investigate larceny and
worse in the present national ad-
ministration.

82d Congress Shown Short on Legislation and Long Probes

other probes, big and little. totaled
225 by this March when the pace
began to slack of.
Then politics supplauted investi-
cations as the favorite sport. One
third of the Senators and all of the
Representative had to run for re-
nomination and reelection. And
several key Congressmen were either
running themselves for President or
were deeply involved in another per-
sons campaign. It became harder
and harder to get a quorum as the
year wore on
Activity in the third house Of Con-
greSS-the lobbieS-also slowed down
during the 82d Congress. Figures
on lobby spending compiled by Con-
gressional Quarterly show that only
$9,488. .099 was reported spent in 1851
by groups which try to influence Con-
gress. Indications were that 1852
spending would be even lower. max
ing this the first Congress since the
Lobby Act was passed to see decline
in spending. High spenders. in
cidently, were the American Farm
Bureau Federation, the Committee
for Constitutional Government and
the American Medical Association.
The 82d Congress obviously win
not be one Of those longest remem-
bered. What memories of its per-
formance still linger this morning
will fade fast in the next few weeks
when lobbyists and politicians alike
converge On Chicago to make more
important and more exciting history.

act and an Armed Forces reserve

But most Of their work was not
new. Congress continued foreign aid
and reciprocal trade agreements. ex-
tended the controls act and the
draft, raised pay Of Government
workers, raised postal rates, increased
social security payments and raised
taxes.
BIonk on Civil Rights
But the 82d Congress accom-
plished nothing in the field of civil
rights despite pledges in both party
platforms: approved no major farm
legislation: brought out nothing new
in the area Of welfare or aid to edu-
cation and wrote only one new labor
law of consequence (making it easier
to institute union shops. 1t did pro-

publicans have been doing so since
their first convention, in 1856.
In other essential respects, the
setup of the two conventions is
identical. There is the same SyS-
tenn of presiding officers. Each
convention, to aid it in its business,
has the assistance of four principal
committees: Rules, Permanent Or
ganization, Credentials and Resolu-
tions.
The States name two representa-
tives apiece-one man and one
woman-to the important Resolu-
tions Committee. On the others,
they each have one representative.
The committees have had much of
their spadework done in advance.
Their recommendations always are
subject to the approval of the full
convention.
To understand the activities of
the committees-and of the dele
gates themSelves-it is necessary to
take -eleser look at the business
of the convention.
Evening star., 1952-07-06
The Business

Every convention has six decisions
to make. First, it must decide on
the rules under which it is going to
operate. Second, it must decide
on it's officers. Third, it must decide
on it's makeup. Fourth, it must de-
eide on a platform. Fifth, it must
decide on it's presidential and vice
presidential candidates. Sixth, it
must decide on plans for the future.
The first three Jobs look per-
functory on paper. Obviously,
these decisions must be taken before
the convention can be said to have
organized itself. And yet, in prac-
tice, the preliminary decisions often
are anything but perfunctory. At
the opening sessions of the Repub-
lican convention tomorrow and
Tuesday, for instance, they may
provide fireworks as spectacular as
will be. seen all week.
Rules and Officers
Convention rules are drafted,
logically enough, by the Rules Com
mittee. We have seen that prece-
dent generally is the controlling
factor. The rules of order of the
House of Representatives, for in
stance, have long prevailed at both
conventions, insofar as they are

Born as the Communist hordes
thul1dered out of China and ending
as the political hordes thundered
into Chicago, the 82d Congress will
go down in history as one of the
slowest to pass a law and the fast
est of all time to launch an investi-
CATION.
The 82d Congress was nodded by
war clouds and politics. It turned
up more public scandal and spent
more money than any recent Con-
gress. 1t broke records in voting
taxes and sending aid to foreign
countries. But it originated few new
programs either at home or abroad.
It had fun, and buckled down to
work only when it absolutely had to.
The first gavels banged to open the
82d Congress at noon January 3.
1851. The Korean war had started
six months before. The United Ma
tions had been pushed back to Pusan,
had then pushed the Korean Reds
back to the Yalu and on that January
day was being pushed back again
toward Pusan, this time by the
Chinese Communists. Congressmen
were grave. That winter was being
compared in the lobbies and cloak
rooms with the winter OF Valley
Forge.
Lost-Minute Shoveling

drawing to a close. Korea was no
longer a threat, only tedious job.
There was little worry about an i'm

mediate war. There was only worry
about who would get the mods in
Chicago. The Congressman were so
anxious to get down to full-time
politicking they shoveled the last
minute must" bills through both
houses.
The 82d Congress completed less
work than the 80th Congress (1947-8),
the Congress called "the worst"
by candidate Truman in his give
'em-hell campaign. The 80th, too.
was short Congress. It quit June 19
to enable lawmakers to attend the
conventions. The 1918 House and
Senate were in session 245 days each
and passed 900 public laws.
But the 82d managed to enact
something short of 900 public laws
despite the fact that both House and
Senate put in more days work
HIouse, 272: Senate, 1861. In other
words, it took about quarter of a
working day to enact law on the
average in the worst Congress and
around half day in the 82d Con-
gress.
It cannot be claimed that this
Congress spent its time formulating
bold new programs. Most of its laws
were extensions or modififications of
existing programs or were appropria-
tions to support those programs. Leg
islators showed some originality in
setting up a new system for handling
foreign aid, in sending famine aid 10

Taxes were increased almost 81 bill
lion during the 82d Congress "a
''peacetime" record, but spending
still outran income.
It obviously was Korea and the
threat of World War III that shaped
the 82d Congress. More than IS per
cent of the tremendous outlay OF
money went for defense. Economic
controls and foreign aid took much
time. Domestic, peacetime legislation
was overlooked.
Holmes and Politics
II the 82d Congress wasn't SPEND
ing its time writing new legislative
programs, what was it doing?
The first session (1951) was play
ing Sherlock Holmes: the second ses-
sion (1952) was playing politics.
It was by all odds the investi-
gatingest Congress of all time. Dur
ing the first session alone more than
$50 investigations were launched that
had nothing to do with pending legis-
lation Through September, 1851.
there were more investigations held
than laws passed. They investigated

tute group of "alternates," seated
at the rear of the hall. An alter
nate gets to vote only If his opposite
number on the regular delegation is
absent.
AS it works out, there will be
1905 votes at the Republican con-
vention this week, with 604 required
to nominate. At the Democratic
convention, opening July 81, there
will be 1890 votes-616 required to
nominate. Actually, when the DEM
ocrats gather in Chicago, there will
be more delegates than there are
votes. This is because the Demo-
Gratis, unlike the Republicans, still
allow States which have more
would-be delegates than they have
votes to send delegates representing
half votes. There was time when
this fractional-vote practice was
carried to such extremes that
delegate might represent as little
as 1892 of vote. A lot of people
got to conventions in those days.
Unit Rule
At the Republican convention,
when all the persuading has been
done, each delegate is permitted to
vote according to his own lights.
The Democrats, however, have what
is known as the unit rule" Under
this rule, if a State so inStructs its
delegates, the whole group must
vote as a block for the candidate
favored by majority of the dele
cation. There is one exception:
The convention may, If it wishes,
dispense with the unit rule by a
two-thirds vote.
The two-thirds vote itself used
to be a basic part of the whole
Democratic convention procedure.
Andrew Jackson instituted it at the
Democrats first convention in 1882.
It was conceived, according to
legend, as a means of forcing the
nomination of JackSon's personal
candidate for the vice presidency,
Martin Van Buren. In any event,
the gimmick lasted, and for 104
years it gave the South a virtual
veto power over Democratic nomi-
nees. The late President Roosevelt
changed all that in 1886. Four
years ago, the South made an
unsuccessful attempt to change it
back, but both parties certainly will
choose their nominees by simple
majority vote this time. The Re-

Chicago for the inclusion Of this
or that language in the campaign
document. This week end, the sub
committees are completing their
drafting jobs. BY tomorrow, the
Republican platform will be ready
for final sandpapering at the
hands of the full Resolutions Com
mittee.
The whole effort of the platform
builders, traditionally, is to recon-
cile conflicting views at the conven-
tion. Always they search for the
widest meeting ground, for the
phrase that will satisfy the greatest
possible number OF candidates
and voters. @
& On the second or third day, the
Credentials Committee sends its
finished product to the whole con-
vention. There may be minority
report from the committee. There
may be floor fight on the disputed
issue. There may be bolt at this
point by dissatisfied delegations.
All these things happened at the
Democratic convention in 1948. But
to the extent that there is this sort
of controversy, the platform is a
failure. It has divided, not united.
Nominations
When a platform has been
adopted, the convention is ready to
proceed with its principal item of
business. This is the moment for
which the outside world has been
waiting.
The clerk calls the roll of States,
in alphabetical order. A State.
when its name is called, may either
nominate one of its "favorite sons"
second an earlier nomination, pass
or yield it's position in the roll
call to another State which wishes
to nominate somebody. Each NOM
mating speech traditionally is
followed by a lengthy and carefully
prepared demonstration in favor of
the proposed candidate. When all
the nominations are in, it is time
for the first roll-can vote.
BolIoting
Again the clerk calls upon the
States in alphabetical order. This
time, the chairman of each delega-
ton. announces the lineup of dele
gates in his State. Any State may
pass vote, If it wishes. Any State
may change its vote before the roll
call is complete. A delegate may
