had no hands.
Maybe that's what put Con-.
gress' timing of.
The Senate adjourned before
it could be informed that the
House had met; Vice President
Nixon didn't remember the oath
of Office he had to administer to
two new Senators; and so many
Representatives were late for
work that it took two roll calls
to get a quorum together.
But Vice President Nixon, with
the help of other timepieces,
managed to convene the Senate
at noon.
AS he banged the gavel with
his right hand, he guiltily hid a
typewriter card in his left hand
like student about to crib on
an examination.
The card turned out to be a
copy of the oath of Office he read
later to new Senators Burke,
Democrat, Of Ohio, and Upton,
Republican, Of New Hampshire.
The Senate whipped through
some lesser business and was
about to adjourn when it was
pointed out that Sergeant of
Arms Forest Harness was i'll and
there was some doubt about the
legal authority of Deputy Ser
geant of Arms C. A. Bottolfsen
to carry out his duties such as
arresting Senators. if necessary,
TO get them to come TO Senate
sessions.
So the Senate quickly passed
a resolution making Mr.. Bottolf-
sen acting sergeant of arms with
full authority to knock sena-
torial heads together.
The Senate management an
nounced that among the first
bills that will be debated are
measures to authorize the mint
ing OF 50-cent pieces commemo-
rating the Louisiana Purchase,
the founding of New York City
and the founding of Northamp-
ton, Mass. Somebody remarked:
This looks like a four-bit ses-
sion."
The Senate recessed its 25-
minute meeting while a messen-
ger from the House was still en-
route to the Senate chamber to
report that the House had con-
vened. This, according to tradi-
ton, is mighty important-a

NEW YORK, Jan. IA spray
on bandage that puts a trans
parent, flexible, plastic film over
wounds or burns is now available
to doctors.
The plastic sprays from a can
or bomb just as insecticides are
sprayed from insect bombs.
The plastic dries quickly,
keeping germs out and vital
fluids in. 1t can be washed and
is peeled off easily when the
wound heals or needs additional
treatment. The doctor can look
through the bandage to see how
the injury is coming along.
The spray-on bandage, based
on bakelite vinyl resins, is pro-

Get Test in Senate

Senator Bridges, Republican,
Of New Hampshire, hopes you
will soon be able to redeem your
folding money in gold. This
hasn't been possible for quite
some time. but the Senator
thinks it should be.
. His Office said today that he
will push a bill he introduced
last session to make gold a part
Of the Nations negotiable cur
rency. This was referred to in
the 1852 Republican platform,
and Senator Bridges thinks it's
only right that the party should
make good.
What the platform pledged
was:
ITO restore a domestic
economy and to use our influ-
ence for a world economy Of
such stability as will permit
the realization of our aim of a
dollar on a fully convertible gold
basis"
The Senate Banking and Cur

hold early hearings on the
measure, and on another by

Health

I am fatty opposed to the
socialization of medicine. The
great need for hospital and
medical services can best be
met by the initiative of private
plans. But it is unfortunately
a fact that medical costs are
rising and already impose
severe hardships on many fam
lilies. The Federal Government
can do many helpful things
and still carefully avoid the
socialiZation of medicine.
The Federal Government
should encourage medical re-
search in its battle with such
mortal diseases as cancer and
heart ailments, and should
continue to help the States in
their health and rehabilitation
programs. The present Hospital
Survey and Construction Act
should be broadened in order
to assist in the development Of
adequate facilities for the
chemically i'll, and to encour-
age the construction of dag
nostic centerS, rehabilitation
facilities, and nursing homes.
The war on disease also needs
q better working relationship
between Government and pri-
vate initiative. Private and
non-profit hospital and medi-
cal insurance plans are already
in the field, Soundly based on
the experience and initiative of
the people in their various
communities. A limited Gov
ernment reinsurance service
would permit the private and
non-proflt' insurance COM
panieS to offer broader protec-
ton to more of the many
families which want and should
: have it. On January 18,
shall forward to the Congress
a special message presenting
this administrations health
program in its detail.

Diplomats See Senate Courtesy
In Stonding- Room Only Crisis
Congress sideliehts

An unusual and slightly en-
barrassing situation occurred a
few minutes before President
Eisenhower entered the House
chamber today. Due to the in
terest in the Presidents message.
more members Of Congress and
more diplomats were present
than were expected. Members
of the diplomatic corps were dis
covered standing near the wall
of the House chamber.
Senator H. Alexander Smith of
New Jersey and other Senators
jumped to their feet and urged
the diplomats to accept their
seats. Some of them reluctantly
accepted the invitation. In the
end, however. a number of Sena-
tors and members of the diplo-
matte corps stood to hear the
President speak.
For the first time since 1919,
there was no military honor
guard around the Capitol while
the President delivered his state
Of the Union message.
The bayonet-carrying guard of
military police was repeatedly
cancelled at White House re-
quest. Instead. the force of more
than 100 regular Capitol police
was supplemented with about
l25 uniformed Washington po-
lice and about the same number
of Secret Service officers and
plainclothesmen from the city
police department
They were stationed all
around the Capitol and on every
floor within the building from
the basement to the roof.
The President used a higher
than usual lectern to read his
address to avoid showing too
much of the top of his head to
the television audience. The
change was suggested by Actor
Robert Montgomery, who has
been acting as a special adviser
to the White House on televi-
sion techniques. Mr.. Montgom-
cry pointed out that with an
extra 3 inches in the height
Of the lectern the President
wouldn't have to bend over so
far to read his manuscript, and
the top of his head wouldn't be
exposed to the television cam

Labor and Welfare

OF the many problems in this
area, those I shall first discuss
are Of particular concern to the
members of our great labor
force. who with their heads,
hearts and hands produce so
much Of the wealth Of our
country.
Protection against the haz-
ards Of temporary unemploy-
ment should be extended to
some, six and a half million
workers, including civilian Fed
eral workers, who now lack this
safeguard. Moreover, the Sec
retary Of Labor is making
available to the States studies
and recommendations in the
fields of weekly benefits. pc
riods Of protection and extern.
sion Of coverage. The economic
report will consider the re-
lated matter of minimum
wages and their coverage.
The Labor Management Re-
lations Act of 1947 is basically
a sound law. However, six years
of experience have revealed
that in some respects it can be
improved. On January II. I
shall forward to the Congress
suggestions for changes de-
signed to reinforce the basic
objectives of the act.
Our basic social security
program. the old-age and sur
vivors insurance system. to
which individuals contribute
during their productive years
and receive benefits based on
previous earnings, is designed
to shield them from destitu-
ton. Last year I recommended
extension of the social insur-
ance system to include more
than 10 million additional pr
sons. I ask that this extension
soon be accomplished. This
and other major Improvements
in the insurance system will
bring substantial benefit in
creases and broaden the men,
bership of the insurance Sys-
tenn, thus diminishing the
need for Federal grants-in-aid
for such purposes. A new
formula will therefore be pro-
posed. permitting progressive
reduction in such grants as the
need for them declines.
Federal grant-in-aid well
fare programs. now based on
widely varying formulas, should
be simplif1ed. Concrete pro-
posals on IA Of them will be
suggested to the appropriate
committees.
The program for rehabilita-
ton of the disabled especially
needs strengthening. Through
special vocational training, this
program presently returns each
year some $4,000 handicapped
individuals to productive work.
Far more disabled people can
be saved each year from idle
ness and dependence if this
program is gradually increased.
My more detailed recommenda-
tions on this and the other
social insurance problems I
have mentioned will be sent to
Congress on January IA.

Education

Youth - our greatest reA
SOURCES being seriously meg
lected in a vital respect. The
Nation as a whole is not pre-
pairing teachers or building
schools fast enough to keep up
with the increase in our popu-
lation.
The preparation of teachers
as. indeed, the control and
direction Of public education
policy, is a State and local
responsibility. However, the
Federal Government should
stand ready to assist States
which demonstrably cannot
provide sufficient school build
ings. In order to appraise the
needs, I hope that this year a
conference on education will
be held in each State, culmi-
mating in a national confer
ence. From these conferences
on education, every level of
government - from the Fed
eral Government to each local
school board-should gain the
inforn1atioA with which to
attack this serious problem.

Suffrage

MY 1eW remaining recon.
mendationS all relate to a ba-
sic right Of our citizens-that
of being represented in the
decisions of the Government.
I hope that the States will
cooperate with the Congress
in adopting uniform standards
in their voting laws and will
make it possible for our citi-
zens in the armed forces over
seas to vote.
In the District of Columbia.
the time is long overdue for
granting national suffrage to
it citizens and also applying
the principle of local self-gov-
ernment in this direction and
also to revise District revenue
measures to provide needed
public works improvements.
The people of Hawaii are
ready for statehood. I renew
my request for this legislation
in order that Hawaii may elect
its State officials and its repre-
sentatives in Washington
along with the rest of the
country this fall.
For years our citizens be-
tween the ages of 18 and 81
have, in time of peril, been
summoned to fight for Amer
lea. They should participate
in the political process that
produces this fateful summons.
I urge Congress to propose to
the States a constitutional
amendment permitting citizens
to vote when they reach the
age of 18.
! want to add one final word
about the general purport of
these many recommendations.
Our Governments powers
are wisely limited by the Con-
stitution; but quite apart from
those limitations. there are
things which no Government
can or should try to do.
A government can strive, as
ours is striving, to maintain an
economic system whose doors
are open to enterprise and am
bition-those personal quail
ties on which economic growth
largely depends. But enter
prise and ambition are quail
ties which no government can
supply. Fortunately no Ameri-
can Government need con-
Germ itself on this score; our
people have these qualities in
good measure.
A government can sincerely
strive for peace, as ours is
striving, and ask its people to
make sacrifices for the sake of
peace. But no government can
place peace in the hearts of
foreign rulers. It is our duty
then to ourselves and to free
dom itself to remain strong in
all those wayS-Spiritual, eco
nomic military-that will give
us maximum safety against
the possibility of aggressive
action by others.
No government can inocu-
late its people against the fatal
materialism that plaques our
age. Happily, our people,
though blessed with more ma
terial goods than any people
in history, have always re-
served their first allegiance to
the kingdom of the spirit,
which is the true source of that
freedom we value above all
material things.
But a government can try,
as ours tries, to sense the deep
est aspirations of the people.
and to express them in political
action at home and abroad.
So long as action and aspira-
ton humbly and earnestly seek
favor in the sight of the AL
mighty, I can see no end to the
road ahead for America and
no human limit to the service
we can perform.
