The people's voice., 1954-05-21

Our Congressional committee sys-
tenn is unique among the legislatures
of the world.
The standing committees-19 in
House, Is in the Senate-are power
full creatures of Congress. They hold
the power of life and death for legis-
lation. They can wave bill through,
rewrite it, or kill it. Each is a minia-
ture legislature within its own juris-
diction.
AS a general rule, neither the
House nor the Senate will consider
legislation until it has been consid-
cred by the proper standing commit
tee. Significantly, the bills usually
pass Congress in much the form in
which they are approved by the COM
mittees
One of the important standing
committees of the House is Educa-
tion and Labor, of which | am a
member. 1t is a strangely divided
group when we consider labor legisla-
ton. Then it breaks up into at least
six fiercely-partisan groups. These
are fluid. They shift with a particu-
lar question and combine to bring
about the one-vote margins by which
bitterly-fought questions have been
decided to date.
But when we get into the field
of education, members of this COM
mittee vote together against Federal
control of schools and for Federal
assistance in areas where government
activity has had an impact upon the
local school systems.
Examples of this unanimity, in
committee divided during discussions
Of amendments to the Hartley
Act, are recent votes on three bills
important to education and part of
the Presidents program.
The committee voted unanimously
on bills to provide for:
The White House conference on
education;
A National Advisory Committee
on Education;
Cooperative Research in Educa-
tion.
The latter provoked considerable
discussion. 1t started out to author
ize the Commissioner of Education
to enter into contracts or jointly fl
nanced cooperative arrangements
with State educational agencies, To-
cal school systems and public and
educational institutions and
for the conduct of re-
search, surveys and demonstrations
designed to promote the cause of |
education throughout the country.
When this bill was before the COM
mittee, fears were expressed that it |
might permit the Federal govern
ment, by such contract or arrange
ment, to step into the local educa-
tional picture.
| then submitted an amendment |
which took out the local school sys-
TENS and provided that such agree
ments could be entered into only
with universities, colleges and State
educational departments.
This means that if a local school
system is involved in such research,
he contract is entered into by the
State educational department, the
proper agency for administering the
school laws of that state.
The vote for my amendment was
1910. All the committee members
present agreed tnat it is in the pub
ic interest to make certain that
when the Federal government deals
With local school districts it must
work through the State educational
thus thoroughly insulat-
ng the local school system from even
he possibility of Federal control.

The people's voice., 1954-05-21

MoHCdHd pool Oh unemployed
workers decreased in April by 1000,
but there were still 5000 more work
ers seeking jobs at the end of the
month than there were in the same
month of 1863 or 1862, the unem-
ployment compensation commission
reports. This April is listed by the
commission as an unsatisfactory
month from a labor market stand
point, partly due to economic condi-
tions and labor disputes, but to a
greater extent resulting from ad-
verse weather which interfered with
normal resumption of seasonal work.
Applicants for work at offices
of the employment service who
were still unemployed the last of
the month numbered 5000, as COM
pared with 5000 level a year
ago and the same level two years
ago. Not since 1850, with its IL, 500
April job applicants, have there
been as many April jobseekers at
these offices as last month.
Employment progress" Chairman
Wesley Castles of the commission
said, 'was retarded all through the
month by inclement weather, by la
Dor difficulties, and by the thinner
backlog Of big employment projects
as compared with recent years. The
figures show 1000 as the average
decline in jobseekers during April
of the past six years, while this April
the decline in job applicants was
only 1000"
Another labor market index re-
viewed in the commissions report is
the total of employment in non-farm
industries in the state This employ
ment includes manufacturing, min
ing, construction, trade, transpOrta-
ton, finance, service, and govern
ment. For April its total is 149, 1000,
or 700 less than the 149, 800 recorded
a year earlier.
"This is the first time" Castles
said, "since 1850 that April showed
an employment decline from the
same month a year before. Employ
ment losses are estimated at 800 in
manufacturing industries, 800 in
and utilities, 300 in
contract construction, and 800 in the
service industries. These losses were
compensated by gains of
100 in mining, 100 in wholesale
trade, 200 in finance, and LOO in
government employment, which in
,ludes federal, state, and local pay
-oll."
Heaviest concentration of job
seekers were reported at Kalispell
with 1852, Great Falls 1,210, Mis-
soula ,027, Billings 9S7, and Butte
78l, which aggregates two-thirds
of the joblessness in the entire
state. Other areas with substantial
pools of unemployed were Helena /
467, Bozeman $50, Livingston $50,
Poison 293, and Glasgow 253. In
creased number of jobseekers from
year ago figures were reported ,
from every section in the state ex-
cept Dillon, which had Sc jobless
this year and 81 a year ago.
Insured unemployment, as re-
lected in claims for benefits, is near

Red China from being seated in

eral, Assembly, where there is
no veto. M
This fear was one Of the factors
which produced a furry Of de-
bate in the Senate this week
over the need for a re-appraisal
Of American foreign policy.
These demands also were based
on a fear that some Of this
country's allies may not stand
firmly against admitting Red
China.
Experts. say that whether it
would take a two-thirds vote to
recognize the Chinese Commu-
mist regime in the General As
Sembly would depend on how
the question is raised.

BY the Associated Pres.

GENEVA, July 3.-Viet Nam,

appealed for a United Nations
role in any eventual Indo-C Chi
nese armistice.
Speaking to the Indo- China
conference on the issue of armi-
stice control. Buu Kinh, acting
head Of the Wet Namese dele
cation, said the only effective
control for a cease-fire would be
one provided by the United Ma
tionS.
Mr.. Kinh strongly criticized
any plan which would place a
Communist state on the Arnli-
stice Control Commission armed
with a veto power under a rule
OF unanimity. Experience has
shown, he said, that a Commu-
mist state can not be truly inn
partial.
Fundamental" Problem.
Mr.. Kfnh termed the issue OF
control machinery for an armi-
stice a fundamental" program,
according to Wet Namese
sources. He said several weeks
Of debate in the nine-party con-
ference had failed to bridge the
deep differences of opinion on
this question.
Earlier in today's session,
Russian and French officials ap-
peared to differ on the relation
ship between the projected
neutral control commission and
the various mixed commits
sions" which would supervise an
armistice.
In conference language, q
mixed commission would be one
composed of representatives of
the Communicated Wet Mimi
regime on one hand and repre-
sentatives of France, Wet Nam,
Laos or Cambodia on the other.
They would be mixed" in the
sense that they would be BIZ
partite bodies bringing together
the current battlefield opponents.

uty Foreign Minister, praised
Jean Chauvel, acting head of
the French delegation, at one
point. according to Western
sources. for having abandoned
French claims that the mixed
commissions would be subordi-
nate to the international neu-
tral commission.
Mr.. Chauvel, according to
French sources, stressed that
more progress could perhaps be
accomplished in private direct
contacts between delegations at
this stage.
This was a reference to the
talks Mr.. Chauvel has been hav-
ing here with Red Chinese and
Russian officials. MFR. Chauvel

vited a group of Communist

Department in the United States.
There was no immediate COM
