Editor,
Montgomery County Sentinel:

The following letter was mailed
last week to Senators Butler and
Beall; Rep. Hyde and Gov. Nc
Keldin. Your readers may be in
terested:
1t is with regret that we learn.
ed of the recent decision to move
the Federal Civil Defense Ad-
ministration to Battle Creek,
Michigan. 1t indeed seems regret
able that Maryland will lose this
installation since we understand
serious consideration was to be
given to locating at the Civil De-
tense Staff College in Olney.
We understand there will be
considerable cost, perhaps in the
hundreds of thousands of dallarS,
to make this move. Then it is to
be placed at military reserva-
ton, which will in itself be a
target area in the event of enemy
attack, thereby multiplying the al.
legged advantage of moving out
of Washington.
1t was announced at that time
the big military plant at Battle
Creek may not be the final home
of Civil Defense since the Army
make it plain it may take the
hospital out of moth balls in
case of war or full mobilization
In other words, as long as Civil
Defense is relatively inactive il
may remain at Battle Creek; then
when it comes into its own ii
may be forced to vacate to an.
other location, which is indeed
a waste of the taxpayers money
as well as poor planning.
Should this first dispersal of a
federal agency move so far from
Maryland then it is likely that a
number of others will follow suit
therefore creating a general ex.
odus of the government from
this general area. AS a fellow
Marylander you should strive to

Senate
CLoakroom
Sen. j. Glenn BeaII

Congress anticipated at the end
of this month it is only natural
that attention will be directed to
the work of Congress and the
record of the Eisenhower Admin
iStration.
There are a few major legisla-
tive matters remaining such as
the farm program, extension of
social security benefits, and con-
ference reports on housing legis-
lation, and the tax revision and
reduction bill.
This Congress has made an i'm
pressive record for handling its
work expeditiously, orderly, and
for cooperating with President
Eisenhower. TIL administrators
record demonstrates very clearly
that the United States can enjoy
peace and prosperity simultane-
ously-something that the gloom
and doom boys tried to tell the
American people was not posi-
bic.
The Republican Administration
achieved truce in Korea, is skill
fully handling the Geneva Con-
ference where endeavors to effect
an end to the Indo-China fight
ing is in progress. At the same
time oura economy remains
sound and progressive, and while
the NeW-Fair Dealers were pre-
dieting economic disaster the
facts showed u. S. production
had hit new record in 1858 and
that during the first five months
of 1854 personal income was run
ming at $685. billion - slightly
higher than the same period the
year before.
At the close of a session I
usually do a little checking to
see how the bills I personally in
troduced have Jared, and the re-
suit was pleasing. Also the bills
sponsored by the committees of
which / am a member showed
careful study and were favorably
received by the Congress and the
President.
Altogether I introduced total
of 60 bills, 20 of which have been
enacted by Presidential signature
into public laws, and it looks as
if six others will become law be-
fore adjournment.
These bills vary from those
granting citizenship to individ-
uals who otherwise would be in
eligible to conforming laws in the
District of Columbia with those
in Maryland and Virginia.
OF a more general character
was one to return the Constella-
ton to its home port of Balti-
more, and Congress passed a
similar one introduced by Con-
gresham Devereux and it is now
awaiting the Presidents sigma
ture.
In conjunction with a number
of other Senators co-sponsored
a bill to revitalize the nations
fishing industry by authorizing
research and encouragement of
the distribution of fishery pro-
ducts. The bill enjoyed bi.parti-
san support and is now a public
law.
After Congress adjourns I shall
look forward to giving Maryland
ers a detailed report during my
visits with them throughout the
State.

Potomac
Rep. Dewitt Hyde

w AOI1l1Nd lO1N, July Il, IOOf
The defeat last week of the
Presidents health reinsurance
program was his fourth setback
in the present Congress. In spite
of his great personal popularity,
Mr.. Eisenhower failed to carry
into office with him enough mem
bers of Congress to give him
100 per cent support.
Eighteen-year-old voting
amendments to the Taft-Hartley
law and statehood for Hawaii
were three other Eisenhower pro-
posals which were turned down.
On all the other major points in
his legislative program he has
been victorious.
The health reinsurance pro-
poSal recognized the problem
that many Americans are unable
to obtain low-cost health insur-
ance because they are abnormal
risks for one reason or another.
Farmers, for instance, are not
easily formed into insured groups
so they can't get the same cover
age that groups of factory or
office workers can.
The President proposed to
establish a $25-million federal
fund to cover part of the abnor-
NAL risks private and non-profit
companies would take in expert
menting with expansion of their
health insurance programs. The
companies would pay premiums
themselves for this reinsurance
privilege. and eventually the $25
million would be returned to the
federal treasury.
Participation was to be volun.
tary. There was to be no magic
whereby the taxpayers would be-
gin paying each others medical
bills. Those bills are running
nearly $40 billion a year, and
only II per cent of them are
covered by insurance.
AS the debate on the Presidents
plan came to a close, a motion
was offered to send the bill back
to the House Interstate and For.
eign Commerce committee for
further study. This would mean
it would be impossible to change
it to the satisfaction of major.
ity in the House before the end
of the current session of Con.
gress. This recommittal motion
was passed, 238 to 1874. l voted
against it--ineffect, voted for the
bill itself.
The extreme left.wing mem.
bers of the House were against
the bill because it was not radical
enough. The right-wingers were
against it because it was too
radical. Here was proof that it
was one of the middle-of-the.
road proposals which the Presi.
dent had promised over and over
in his campaign.
l thought it was desirable leg.
islation. 1t encouraged people to
help themselves through private
insurance plans. Many doctors
thought it was an opening wedge
to socialized medicine, but be.
cause of its voluntary features
don't think their fears were JUST
fled.
