SEAMS
TO ME
Alterations Can Be Big
Sewing Problem, Too

Even if a woman does not
have time to make her own
clothes, it's still important
for her to know a minimum
of sewing for alterations. AL
teration fees can get out of
hand, not to mention the
time that is spent for fit
tings.
@. I have seven children,
and needless to say I have
little time to make my own
clothes. However. my ready
made dresses always need
altering, and this ! do myself.
One problem I come across
often in long sleeves is that
the elbow never seems to be
in the right place. Some have
darts and others have a
couple of inches of gathers.
But both are out of line.
Not knowing too much
about patterns and how to
alter them. 1 wonder if you

A. I can only say, bless
your heart, and where do you
get the energy to even alter
clothes? You say the elbow
is not in the right place,
which means the fullneSS is
evidently misplaced. Rip the
sleeve seam between points
above and below the elbow.
If there are darts or shirring,
rip this out, too, and press
the entire sleeve.
Try on dress and find cor
rect place for the elbow full

Senote's Efforts to Process Bill on Floor,

committee report. 1t has been
difficult for Senators to
know what was in a given
amendment when it was
called up for discussion.
For instance, last week
the Clark amendment. to
amend Section 3 of the Dirk
sen bill, was called up. That
amendment was debated for
a day, and then it was with
drawn. The Douglas amend
ment was called up before
any Of us could even find out
the difference between the
Clark amendment and the
Douglas amendment. After a
day or more of debate, the
Douglas amendment was laid
on the table.
Last Friday, the distin-
guished senior Senator from
New York, Mr.. JavitS, said
he would call up, on yester-
day, his amendment. 1t
turned out that the Clark
amendment which was des-
ignated '3-11-60-B,' and the
Javits amendment, which is
designated '3-18-60-B,' were
the same. But it took a good
deal of study to find that out.
yet before we started
debate on the JavitS amend
ment, we found that it had
again been changed, to in
clude a section which the
Senator from New York men
toned just before he con-
cluded. So the amendment
now contains a provision con-
corning provisional voting, a
provision which has been so
vigorously criticized on the
House side.

countering ever since the

This disclosure of what
really has been happening in
the Senate seems incredible.
Most citizens will wonder why
the Senate of. the United
States would wish to legis-
late in such confused and
disorderly fashion. There is
no explanation except on the
basis of the doctrine that
"the end justifies the means. I"
For the fact is that the
Committee on the Judiciary
Of the Senate is headed by q
Southerner, and the North
erners just didn't want to
have the legislation de
layed" in his committee. So
they got around their dilem-
ma by projecting the de-
bate into the Senate itself,
through a procedural device
they added voting rights
legislation to another bill
which had been reported
from committee but which
was on an entirely different
subject.
The Senate has remedies
to get bills out Of committee
and to order hearings and to
put time limits on the hear
ings, but these procedures
were ignored. Only yester-
day of this week did the
Democratic leader, Senator
Johnson of Texas, and the
Republican leader. Senator
Dirksen of Illinois, join in
proposing that the voting
rights bill just passed by the
House of Representatives be
referred to a Senate commit
tee for a five-day study. This
was objected to as insufficient
time for the handling Of such
an important subject by a
Senate committee. But the
Senate, by a majority vote.
brushed aside such objec-
tions, and a Senate commit
tee will convey to the public
the impression at least that
committee consideration was
given to the measure.
Thus does the great Senate
of the United States function
in an election year in re-
sponse to presSure-group poll
itics.

Some chilling g second
thoughts are running through
Washington now about Presi-
dent Eisenhower's fateful de-
cision to open the way for
Nikita Khrushchev's free
wheeling propaganda tours
through the Allied West.
Great risks from the start
were involved in Mr.. Eisen-
hower's reluctant agreement
to follow Britain's lead in ne
gotiating under neon lights
with Mr.. Khrushchev at
and before-the coming May
summit meeting. These risks
now are becoming palmer and
palmer.
For, once we abandoned
the old careful diplomacy,
through which professionals
worked in private to reach
limited but solid agreements,
we gave a great propaganda
weapon to Nikita Khru-
shchev. Having at home or
abroad no critic to check
him, he is able to appeal above

DAVID LAWRENCE

Many citizens who take a
casual interest in public af-
fairs probably have been won
dering what the fllibuster in
the Senate was all about.
They know it is a delaying
tactic, but they may not be
clear as to just who was re-
sponSible for the delay that
wasted more than a months
time.
The impression generally
conveyed is that in recent
weeks the Southerners have
been using their privilege
under Senate rules to delay
action on the voting rights
bills by indulging in endless
debate. But what is not usu-
ally reported is that the cur
rent filibuSter in the Senate
is an effect-not a cause-of
a controversy over something
else far more fundamental
than the civil rights bills
themselves. It's really a con-
flict over orderly procedure,
and the main point is that
many Senators feel an entire
law should never be written
by the 100 men on the floor
of the Senate but that it
should be considered first by
the proper committee, where
hearings can be held and the
public given an opportunity
to present its viewpoint.
This is a simple method of
procedure that makes sense.
Yet. because Of the current
philosophy that "the end JUS
titles the means" such order
ly consideration has not been
given to the civil rights bill
in the Senate.
Senator Willis Robertson
of Virginia, Democrat, one Of
the ablest men in the cham
Der and the chairman of its
Banking and Currency Com
mittee. certainly is an ex-
perienced legislator. Here is
his revealing complaint as
voiced the other day to the
Senate:
THE debate on several
voting rights amendments
fully illustrates the position
many Of US have taken upon
the matter for the past
month, namely, that the
Senate should never under
take to write on the floor Of

technical bill without the

Populist tangents, and intel

a coldly calculated move. 1t
is, in effect, a political time
bomb. 1t is set to go off on,
or shortly after, July II in
the convention hall at Los
Angeles.
Mr.. Butler. as party chair
man, has created an extra
curricular national advisory
committee which he has
asked to draft a civil rights
plank to be submitted to
the delegates. Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt was asked, and has
consented, to serve as chair
man Of a committee COM
posed Of from IL to IS per-
sons, of which six or seven
will be well-known Negroes.
Nor is this all. Mr.. Butler
plans to send panels into each
region, including one in a
yet-to-be- designated South
ern city, to hear suggestions
about the civil rights plank.
If this plan is carried out,
as it almost certainly will be,
the convention will be typi-
cally Democratic. That is to
say, it will be rancorous. stri-
dent and explosive. Unity,

The less control there Is
over what Mr.. Khrushchev

DORIS FLEESON

PORTLAND, Oreg.-Over
the bier of her husband,
Maurine Neuberger held out
her hand TO the States SEN
Tor Senator, Wayne Morse,
who had attacked Dick Neu-
berger so bitterly as a liberal
turncoat.
She thanked him for
coming home to the memo
rial services for Dick and for
the tribute Senator Morse
paid to Dick in the Senate.
Ramrod-stiff, Senator Morse
replied that he always said
what he meant and meant
what he said. In the light
of his other comments, it is
unclear where this leaves
Mrs. Neuberger, so far as
Senator Morse is concerned,
in her campaign to succeed
her husband for a full six
year term in the Senate.
But Mrs. Neuberger is
closing that book, as she will
try to close other political
and emotional accounts in
this stormy period in Oregon
politics. The Morse -Neuber-
ger file in the late Senator's
office has been padlocked and
removed from the reach of
any potential mischief-mak-
ers of either party or any
faction.
Here and in the capital at
Salem, the principal political
observers Of both parties say
plainly that Maurine Neu-
berger will be elected this
fall. They base their opinion
not merely on the present

wave Of sympathy for her
and her husband. nor on the
fact that the star vote-get-
ter among Republicans, Gov.
Mark Hatfield. decided not
to run against her.
Mrs. Neuberger has served
in the State Legislature and
was a full partner in the
work Of her husbands office.
She knows both the Oregon
issues and the way things
work in Washington. The
competent Neuberger staff
was theirs, not just his. The
politicians agree that the
State knows this. Some who
served with both at Salem
think her the better legisla-
tor of the two. They also re-
call that she always piled up
big majorities in her Port
land district, the biggest in
the State.
But Mrs. Neuberger has
that strong sense of reality
which most women bring to
their problems. She is CRATE
full for the sympathy which
seems almost tangible as one
walks with her through a
hotel lobby. But she knows
the election is seven months
away.
She is aware that her de-
cision to run was a disap-
pointment to Representative
Edith Green, Portland Dem
ocrat, and Mrs. Green's
friends, some of whom in
sist she is the better qualified
to be Senator. The Democrat
