The Week

Congress certainly was working
hard, alters slow start. to make a
substantial showing. It was not q
week OF spectacular accomplish
nnents, however. For Congress turned
to the minor bills which must be
enacted. but which never make the
front pages.
The output was considerable.
Both houses probably approved as
many bills in the one week as in
any Of the first five entire months
Of the session.
Scores Of bills went through both
houses without objection" on 81
run-through Of the odds-and- lends
calendars. In that procedure q
minor. non-controyersial bill Is ap-
proved with almost no debate by
unanimous consent Of the legisla-
tors present. II even one lawmaker
objects, the bill Is held over for a
later try.
It was this Streamlined action
which sent to the White House bills
such as II. n. 1888 (to provide for
revocation Of or denial Of merchant
marine documents to persons in
yolved In certain narcotics viola
tions):: II. II. 562O Ito issue certain
land patents In Colorado). s. 1886
Ito include Nevada In the Columbia
River water compactl, and s. 1896
tto incorporate the Board Of Funda-
mental Educationl
More bills were cleared with brief
debate and, voice vote. Among them
were II. r. 7486 (to increase the
penalties for harboring fugitives, ap-
proved by the Housel. S. 36S1 (to
make group life insurance available
to Federal employees. voted by the
Senatel. and 8. $3.50 tto provide
for the independent management
Of the Export Import Bank Of Wash
ington and to increase the banks
lending authority. cleared BY the
Senate).

President Eisenhower put his Re-
adnin1strat alton well out on
b limb last December when he made
this public statement:
IN my judgment. the eficiency
and vision with which the Cow
eminent is administered BY this
Republican administration. and
whether or not the Congress
enacts . progressive. dynamic
program enhancing the welfare
Of the people of our country, Will
determine the future political
complexion Of the Congress and
the future Of the administration.
'sI am convinced that those
who tight for the program (.
win deserve and viii receive the
respect and support Of the Amer
lean people.
In any event, unless the Re
publican Party can develop and
enact such program for the
American people. it does not de-
serve to remain in power"
The President was taking what
the military likes to call 4 cal-
culated risk when he made this
statement. He already had prepared
q legislative program which he knew
would appeal ia Congressman or
both parties. But 1t the same time
he realized that ca his program
would have opposition from key
committee chairmen, many OF whom
are far-right Republicans: (b) Con-
gress during the first session had
not laid q solid groundwork for q
second-sesion surge, lc) the COP.
majority on the Hill was paper thin,
and (d) Democrats don't enjoy res-
cuing Republican Presidents.
Pointers With Pride
II Congress did enact his broad
program. COP. campaigners would
be able to point with well deserved
pride In the fall. But If performance
fell too short OF promise, the Demo-
Gratis could throw the President's
words back at the COP. and cry,
1T does not deserve to remain in
power"
Last week Washington newSmen,
never ones to let well enough alone,
reminded President Eisenhower OF
his December statement and asked
how he thought Congress was meas
uring up. Specifically, did the Re-
publicans deserve to remain In
power?
It certainly 1DGs establishing q
record that looked to him like it
the President replied. Then he
added. for direct quotation:
''Now. admittedly, ladies and
gentlemen, there Is going to be
little pieces and parts Of this
whole program In which ! have
had my Disappointment. / would
be just guilty Of Misrepresentation
II / just said all the world is rosy
and all the roses are gilded. .. !:
II think we have got pretty
good record, and there is SO much
Of the record being enacted. Of the
program being enacted, into law,

month or by the time, whenever
it is. that Congress goes out, we
are going to look pretty good"

Stop Doing Business
With 'WindfaII Firms
BY ihs Asseeiq.ed Pres.

Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of
Virginia, has demanded that
Government officials bar wind
fall builders" and others who
have exploited past Federal hous-
ing programs from participating
in future programs.
He said recent statements by
Justice Department and housing
officials indicate q tendency
toward soft policy which could
and should subject Federal ad-.
ministration to national criti-
ciSm."
Senator Byrd, in a statement
yesterday, said he had heard
reports that the Federal Housing
Administration adopted a policy
Of doing more business with some
companies which had already
taken it for windfalls."
Query Put to Cole.
The Senator said he had asked
Housing Administrator Albert M.
Cole on August 6 ito confirm or
deny the report that FILA is deal
ing again with windfall builders,
but to date there has been no
reply"
I'm justice to all the con-
scientious builders, the buyers
and renters of FILA housing and
the taxpayers, such q policy
should not even be considered, ;"
he said.
Senator Byrd. who helped
touch of the series of investiga-
tions into housing scandals, re-
newed demands for indictment
of some of the top housing of
ficials and recapture of wind
falls running into hundreds Of
millions of dollars"
Officials Left On List.
"a dozen top officials of FILA
have been dismissed since the
housing scandals were forced
into the open last April" he said,
but none dismissed since the
housing scandals from the WASH
ington headquarters was included
on the Justice Department list
of those indicted"
Senator Byrd said most Of
these indictments dealt with
small. home improvement loans
and programs rather than the
multimillion dollar FHA-insWed

Stanky for Bad Year;
Reese Backs Aston
BY the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, July manager
Eddie Stanky of the Cardinals
got strong backing today from
his boss, who said it's too easy
to blame a manger when some
thing goes wrong.
1t was the first statement by
August A. Busch, president of
the Redbirds, since criticism of
Stanky's handing of the sixth
place ball club began.
Busch. noting the team is we'll
below most preseason predic-
tions, said:
II know that there are many
loyal Cardinal fans all over the
country who are impatient and
unhappy with the prese t
standing.
This includes Eddie Stanky
and every member of the Cardi-
nal ball club. But think it is
all together too simple and too
easy to blame the manager every
time something goes wrong or
doesn't work out exactly as it
should.
"Our own feeling about Stanky
is best expressed in the three
year contract we have signed
with him."
Stanky was criticized by some
sports writer's earlier in the sea-
son on his handling of pitchers.
Recently some fans have booed
every appearance of the former
Giants infielder.
Reports of dissension on the
team were denied by Stanky and
many players, including Stan
