FIGHT ON JANUARY 3RD?

There is a real possibility that January 3rd will be
stormy day in the u S. Senate 1t is that day that the
new Congress organizes and those members who
end the fibuser in quick, dramatic fashion might touch
off an interesting floor the first day. That
why the meeting of December 30h was called recent
-and all Senators who favor making it easier to shut
off debate in the Senate invited This meeting arrang
ed that those who would end the fbuser could agree
on strategy.
The course of action which is now under study
among Others is to adopt Senate rules the
first dayJanuary 3rd The Senators favorng this plan
realize that the Vice President will probably this
ton out of order and state that the Senate is continuing
body (Ony one-thrd of its membership changes each
two years. But this would necessarily defeat the new
rule advocates.
They would then appeal the ruling of the chair and
only simple majority vote would be required this APP
peato override the Vice Presidents decision (The Vice
President by the way will be Alben Barley since the
Republican vctors will have sworn in when the
83rd Congress organize If the rule changers win on the
appeal they could then write their rules and the old
rules especially rule o. which governs the hating of de-
bate, would not apply.
Under rule 90 debate can be stopped only on the vote
OF Ga members and those favorg another rule say
number cannot be obtained But what is more i'm
portant is the fact that limit at all is applicable to
bate changing the rules of the upper legislative body
Thus to change the rules be talked to DEATH
The weakness of the above plan might be that many
Senators will not want to vote to override the Vice Pre
dent on an issue which they think he is It has
been clearly indicated that many Senators who favor max
ing easier to limit debate also believe sincerely that the
Senate is continuing body To vote to oveturn the chair
on appeal then, would be voting against conviction
The real question then, that plan boils down to
whether the majority of Senators will vote to overtu
ruling of the Vice President which majority is
correct (prespective) ruling the majority disagrees
with the chair then the result will probably be quick
simple Or if the Vice President should Unexpectedly rule
that the Senaae not continuing body, then the result
might be just quick and just pleasing to the Senators
who would limit debate tightly. Whatever happens
on January Srd the day is likely to be interesting
In the Senate of the United States.

Some weeks ago this column
jokingly took a slap at Larry
Harms and stated that Larry ap-
peared to live "a happy life with
out any of the worries of dead
mems PHILOSOPHERS. Larry is a
local photographer and appears to
be quite well versed in all of the
Arts. He is also quick on the up
take and wrote a letter which a
trip to St. Petersburg prevented
me from reading until just recent
ly. The letter is a little too long
for complete publication but there
are several remarkably fine state
ments which need to be made
public.
For instance, Harms says: "As
you may know, / am a confirmed
disciple of Freud. But l will not
argue him with anyone although
decision is not impossible. l
think you will understand the dis
tinction intended between the two
methods.
If Larry had said no more, those
three sentences would have proved
him a true student of philosophy.
AS you know, there can be no
room for argument in philosophy
whether it be moral, natural.
or metaphysical. A cool head, abb
lily to listen, and a willingness to
learn are prime factors in any and
all philosophical discussion.
Continuing, Larry said: "The
second part of my philosophy is
the study of words called ''Seman-
tics" You must use words to &C.
tually think with you must also
know why you think the words
mean a certain thing to you. And
what they mean"
Semantics! All, Larry, you hit
the TOUGHEST spot of my life. De-
fined by the dictionary, "seman-
tics" means that branch of mod
ern logic which studies the rela-
tons between signs and what they
denote or signify"
Semantics is the cause of our
topSy-turvy world. No two people
interpret the same word in a SINH
lar manner. 1t is the reason people
like myself have thrown away
hundreds of thousands of typewrit-
ten words because there was SIM
ply nothing to be found in our
languages to express various moods
and emotions. What the world
needs today is an Einstein of litera-
ture. A man who can supply us
with new expressions as Einstein
has supplied the world of mathe-
mates with new symbols.

Changes Ahead
I'm Business
For Future
BIZ FRANK o.RRIEN

WASHINGTON Up - Secretary of
Commerce Sawyer and a team of
government and private econo-
mistS predict good business in the
new year, a possible downturn in
1854 and sharp economic test
in 1855.
The economy has strong built-in
safeguards against a depression
in the coming years, Sawyer said,
expressing the view that the chief
peril, as defense spending slacks
off, is fear and uncertainty, not
economic weakness.
1.-The situation is sound" Saw
yer said in a personal preface
to the S0,000-word report on MARK
cts After the Defense Expansion"
The report, made public recent
ly, was prepared as a guide to
business conditions in the final
stages of the defense buildup and
after spending for military pur-
poses turns down. The crucial
year will be 1855, it said.
1t predicted defense spending will
reach a peak of SIS to 60 billion
dollars late in 1858, will run at
peak levels through 1854 and will
fall off in 1855 to so to SIS billions.
Defense expenditures would then
go on down toward a more or less
permanent level somewhere be-
tween 40 and so billion dollars
year, it said.
Meanwhile, it said, spendable in
come may go up 2 per cent.
The report was written by the
Commerce Departments Office of
Business Economics after a six
month study in which other govern
ment agencies and the Committee
for Economic Development (CED)
co-operated.
The report said businessmen plan
expenditures in 1853, 1854 and 1855
for new plant and equipment close
to this years record level of near
ly q billion dollars.
The report cited this-plus con-
tinued population growth, untitled
needs for schools. hospitals and
highway building, modernization
and replacement, possible tax re-
auctions, stable individual saw
ings, and social security benefits
as major offsetting factors to
Slackened defense spending and
any tendency toward recession.
But the report came up with the
conclusion that bigger production
and purchasing power are the keys
to locking out depression.
The survey assumed information
al conditions and U. S. military
goals in the next three years
would not appreciably change.
Because the economy is now
more or less keeping pace with
both civilian and military require
ments, the report said, there will
be neither a backlog of demand
nor letdown in 1855.
In the present national security
program, military spending is ex-
pected to reach peak at about
Is to IL per cent Of the gross ma
tional product and to drop to
maintenance level Of about IL per
cent.
Among principle points in the
report were these:
l. "The strong probability,
though of course no certainty, of

4. Personal income after taxes
in 1855 may be $40 billion dollars,
an increase of per cent over
1851.
S. No major price raises are In

6. A timely year for tax cuts

Atom Is Harnessed For Beneficial Uses

WASHINGTON Up - A man suf-
fering from late-Stage brain tu-
NOR is lowered into special
chamber atop the huge atomic
energy furnace" at Brookhaven,
N. Y. Powerful rays, generated
by the atomic inferno and guard
edly released through a tiny port
hole, are brought to bear on his
malignant growth-with a promis-
ing chance of prolonging his life.
Out in Wisconsin, a farmer
counts receipts from one of the
best corn crops he's ever had,
thanks to a hot tip he got from
atomic scientists about a different
way Of applying fertilizer.
In a hospital in Boston, woman
sips an atomic cocktail" contain
ing radioactive iodine which may
help rid her of spreading out
growths of a thyroid cancer re-
moved by surgery. In all proba-
bility, the cocktail will at least
prolong her life and make her
NOR comfortable.
These are examples of atomic
energy at work in the humanitar-
ian service of man in this month
that marks the 10th anniversary
of the actual dawn of the atomic
age. 1t was in December 1912, that
man first demonstrated a sustained
atomic chain reaction.
In medicine, in agriculture and
in industry there is tangible evil
dence that the titanic force later
loosed upon Hiroshima in the
form of an atomic bomb can be
employed to serve man as well
as kill him.
Gordon Dean, chairman of
the Atomic Energy Commission,
summed up progress this way in
response to query whether atom
ic energy has lived up to the great
expectation people had for it at
first:
81 recall some rather sensa-
tional predictions made for atomic
energy back around the time it
first became knowledge. But if
you will look at the statements
made by our leading and most
responsible scientists about that
time, I think you win find that
atomic energy has measured up
TO their estimates.

thing: Atomic energy has never
existed in times we call normal.

it has grown up in a period OF

many hundreds of people have

has been accumulated. Progress
should speed up accordingly. II
