Happy Birthday

Our worthy contemporary the Caldwell
Journal observed its l0lst birthday this past
week. AS has the Herald, the Journal has liv-
ed through and helped make deal of local
history. Not only has it been an important
factor for more than century in local af
fairs, but it has witnessed the development
of a new world, a strange new world to many
OF us oldsters such as our good friend, Jes S.
Harris. This grand old warrior at 80 still finds
time to chronicle news in his beloved home
town where he also for many years served
the Fourth Estate with distinction
Along with practically every line of busi-
ness, publishing of a paper has been revolu-
tionized through changing times, changing
social conditions, changing mechanical meth
ods of printing The publishers of the Journal
have kept pace with and abreast of the age.
Under management of Messrs. Estadt and
Wheeler also the publishers of the Leader,
the Journal has achieved it's zenith It's large
number of trophies and awards of prizes in
state and national newspaper shows has been
notable. These recognitions speak of them
selves. They do not come through pull or in
fluence nor do they fall from a hickorynut

SPREADING THE PLAGUE
BY George Peck

Democrat leaders of the
Western states meeting at Den
yer in mid-May pretty well
agreed that Gov. G.. Mennen
Williams is ''dead-duck" inso-
far as the party's presidential
nomination is concerned. Pay
less paydays and Michigan's fl
nancial mess virtually ended
the six-term governors life
time dream of being President.
While the powerful Western
Democrat block was writing Off
Williams, a grass-roots move
ment appeared in New Jersey
to boom Walter Reuther for the
Democrat presidential nomina-
ton. Reuther quickly denied
any connection with this move
ment, as did other top UAW-
CIO leaders. The unpracticed
eye might see no connection
between the fading political
fortunes of Williams and an
upstart movement for Reuther,
but there is a definite link be-
tween the two.

All candidates are required by
law to file with the board of
elections where their petitions
were filed, a statement of all
receipts and expenditures not
later than 400 p. m. of the 45th
day following the election. Such
statements must be accompanied
by receipts for each expenditure
over $500.
This requirement applies to a
primary as well as a general
election.
The board Of elections shall
not issue a certificate of nominal
ton until such statements have
been filed. Failure of candidate
to file a statement within the
specified time disqualifies him
from being a candidate in any
future election for a period of
five years.
If a candidate had no receipts

for bold move for Michlgan's
governorship. Williams was to
provide the personality and
legwork.
Dame Fortune worked with
them in 1948 when people
voted out Republican Gov.
Kim Sigler and put in an un-
known quantity by the name
of G. Mennen Williams. In
retrospect, Williams was a
political accident" but the
upset started the propaganda
drums beating for him as fu-
ture presidential material. The
UAW-CIO since 1948 has con-
tinued to supply the organiza-
ton, manpower and money for
Williams, but it is now a Labor
Democrat party. Today, the
Reuther ruled Labor-Democrat
party controls all Of the Mich
igan government except the
state Senate.
Reuther parlayed the Michl-
gan government into a posi-
ton of power in the national
Democrat picture and has his
own men elected as delegates
70 the national conventions. A
variety Of labor alignments has
used techniques perfected IN
Michigan to elect congressman
and senators throughout the
U. S. A.
The Congressional Quarterly
reported in April that: when
a Democrat needs money for a
campaign these days, he is. like
ly to find labor unions IN
better position to help him
than his own party committees.
That seemed to be the case in
1858, at least.
"a Congressional Quarterly
survey completed Monday,
shows labor unions spent more
money on the last election than
the Democratic National Com
mittee and it's adjuncts in the
House and Senate campaigns.
"The survey, which may
throw some light on the con-
tinuing controversy over
labor's influence in politics,
shows that union funds reached
at least 233 candidates for Con-
gress in as of the 40 states,
Of these candidates, l52 were
elected"
There is little doubt that
Reuther and his union allies
have developed a powerful ma
tional political machine. II

terest which IS the invariable
catylist which brings about
action. All of this appears con-
fusing, but if the Congress is to
be a true forum, it must repre-
sent that blending CT ideas which
is the essence of government by
the people.
Dawn's Early Light
Spanked by magazine, tele-
vision, and press reports that the
new 49-star flags flown over the
Capitol building could be pur-
chased through members of Con-
gress, an avalanche of requests
flooded Capitol Hill offices last
week. BY the morning Of July
the usually ample stock of flags
was exhausted.
Almost 100 Of the flags were
flown over the Capitol in the first
71a hours of July 4, the first day
the new flag was authorized for
use as the nations banner. Using
five poles, the Architect of the
Capitol spent a busy night work
ing at the Illuminated building
satisfying as many requests as
possible on the historic day.
A similar situation will occur
next year as the 50-star banner
marking the admission of Hawaii
is raised for the first time. The
public reaction this year will
stand as a lesson on what may be
expected twelve months from
now.

gN nla4hiin1''q!;tonjil' .; u
with Rep. John Henderson

The sound of Fourth of July
fireworks has died away. How
ever, the sound and fury of Con-
gressional fireworks will now be
heard in increasing volume as
Congress reassembles after long
holiday weekend. July and
August are the traditional home
stretch months of Congressional
sessions with a hectic pace set to
conclude the work to be done.
This year, legislative pace has
been sluggish although the lack
of new laws eracted gives no
clue to the activity behind the
scenes in committees as legisla-
ton is prepared for public de-
bate. Controversy and disagree
ment over the content of inn
portant legislation has tied up
the law-making process so that
it is almost assured that the ses
sion will last well past the usual
adjournment date.
Even the usual rumors and
suppositions about adjournment
SO common in the Capltol's cor
ridors this time of year are not
heard with any frequency. When
one hears a date predicted. It
most often turns out to be well
into September.
Battle of the Flowers
All the arguments in Congress
are not centered on national
issues of widespread importance.
The debates on federal aid to
education, a national fair trade
law, Social Security chances, in
flation curbs, control of certain
iabor union practices, the farm
program, government spending,
the national debt, defense policy,
housing legislation, foreign aid.
and a host of other questions
occupy a center stage position in
ms Congress. Yet other issues
less important to the public in
terest also have their partlsans
who argue vigorously for one
point of view or another, reflect
ing widespread popular interest
expressing itself in mailbags Of
letters reaching Congressional
offices each day. One such issue
concerns the selection of a ma
tional flower.
AS the annual federal budget
scars beyond the $40 billion mark
and the national debt climbs to
astronomical heights, it might be
assumed that measure which
would cost the taxpayer nothing
would be unique - so unusual
and welcome that it would be
roared through the Congress. But
flowers have their partisans, too
who insist upon a full measure
of respect for their favorites. The
proposals, are many ranging from
the rose to the corn tassel, noun
tain laurel, marigold, daffodil
carnation, grass, blackeyed susan
and others. Another suggestion
would designate wreath of al
of the State flowers as national
| emblem, thus creating colorfu
| bouquet which would work
compromise of the many possibl;
choices representing State ane
