FREQUENTLY in the Sem
ate or anywhere else for that
matter, presiding officers
don't know what to say, and
this is the reason for parlia-
mentarians.
But let's look at the Rec
ord:
"Mr. Dirksen-Mr. Presi-
dent, I have the floor.
Mr.. Long-Mr. President, I
call for the regular order.
The Presiding Officer-A
point of order has been
raised, and the Chair has
ruled on the point of order.
The Senator from Ohio has
stated that he did not with
hold his motion to table.
Mr.. Dirksen-Mr. Presi-
dent, a parliamentary in
quiry: If the motion to table
was pending, as the lawyers
say, alb initio, from the begin
ming, then how did the Sena-
tor from Illinois ever get the
floor? Naughter.)
The Presiding Officer -
The Senator from Illinois
has no right to the floor
when a motion to table Is
pending before the body.
Mr.. Dirksen-Mr. Presi-
dent, I most respectfully ap-
peal from the ruling of the
Chair, on the ground that it
is ex post facto, because I
have been talking for 10
minutes, and no Senator has
been challenging my right
to the floor.
The Presiding Ofhcer-The
motion to table was made
and was received before the
remarks of the Senator from
Illinois were made. The Sem
ator from Ohio has stated
that he did not withhold his
motion to table.
Therefore, the question
now before the Senate is on
agreeing to the motion to
table, which is not debat-
able.
Mr.. Electromagnetic. Pres
ident, I ask for the yeas and
nays.
Mr.. Thurmond-Mr. Pres
ident, I suggest the absence
of a quorum.
Mr.. Dirksen-Mr. Presi-
dent, I have the floor.
The Presiding Officer
The Senator from Illinois
does not have the floor.
Mr.. Dirksen-Mr. Presi-
dent, I have the floor unless
the Chair rules that the
motion to table, previously
made by the distinguished
Senator from Ohio, is &C
tually the pending business.
The Presiding Officer-The
chair so rules; it is the pend
ing question.
Mr.. Dirksen-Then, Mr..
President, I PROFOUND a fur
ther parliamentary inquiry:
How did I get the floor in the
first instance?"
Evening star., 1960-11-01

swirl of televised arguments
and an election year.
Involved was the very
foundation Of the Senate
the floor-and a Senator
from Illinois named Everett
NJ. Dirksen. And in the back
ground there sat an old
gentleman from Arkansas
named Charles L. Watkins,
81, with a voice that is soft
and wise.
The incident has been
captured in a modest pub
lication called the Congress
sional Record. However, it
fails to point out that MIR.
Watkins, who is the parlia-
mentarian of the Senate, is
actually the voice of the
Presiding Officer" Or, in
other words, he is telling the
presiding officer what to
say. >

Boswell Is Ordered
To Rae ; Houses
Units Earlier
Called Not Fit
For Hubitution

The Alexandria Health De-
partment today ordered Hous-
ing Authority Chairman v.
Ward Boswell to demolish three
houses previously held unfit
for human habitation.
In an order signed by DR..
Patricia Hunt, assistant direc-
tor of public health, Mr.. Bos-
well was given until November
Is to tear the structures down.
The department took the ac-
ton after it received a petition
signed by members of a group
which calls itself the Commit
tee to Rid Alexandria of Slum
Housing (CRASH).
In its petition, the group said
the houses, at 904. GOT and 900
Irving court, were "unhygienic,
unsanitary, unsafe, dangerous,
both public and private nui-
sances' and that they will ad-
versely affect the public health,
safety and the general welfare"
Letter Is Sent
The group asked the depart
ment to order demolition of the
houses under provisions of the
city's minimum housing-hy-
giene code.
DR.. Hunt sent a letter to Mr..
Boswell today by special mes
Senger with the order to de-
mollsh. The letter noted that
Mr.. Boswell has a right to ap-
peal the order to the city's
Housing Hygiene Board.
Mr.. Boswell's attorney, E.
Waller Dudley. said today that
Mr.. Boswell had agreed last
month to demolish the prop
critics and that he has been try
ing to get the tenants to move.
He emphasized that there
is no controversy" on the ques-
ton of demolition. DR.. Hunts
letter to Mr.. Boswell notes that
Mr.. Boswell agreed on Septem-
ber Is to demolish the struc-
tures, Mr.. Dudley said.
Mr.. Dudley said Mr.. Bos-
wells earlier plans to convert
the three houses into two dwell
ings were rejected by city Off
cials. He then agreed to de-
molish the houses. Mr.. Dudley
said.
The three houses were in
spected by the Health Depart
ment in July and found in
bad condition - completely
Substandard."
Today Was Deadline
DR.. T. F. McGough, director
of Public Health, notified Mr..
Boswell in August that the
structures were "substandard
and unfit for human habita-
ton"
He told Mr.. Boswell at that
time that repairs would have
to begin by August 10 and be
completed by today. The hous-
ing code says the health de-
partment has authority to
order demolition if repair
orders are not fulfilled.
The three houses are among
IL owned by Mr.. Boswell which
have been termed substandard
by health authorities.
The petition from the CRASH
group was received by the
health department yesterday.
1t was signed by Hugh E. Witt,
Eloise Kerne, jamie B. Witt,
Edward Gulewicz, Frederick w.
Bancroft. jr. and Elizabeth P.
Thomas.
The CRASH group also is at
tempting to block Mr.. Bos-
wells attempts to repair two
other houses. at 224 and 226

Steel Orders
Turn Higher,

CLEVELAND, Aug. 8 (AP).-
For the first time since March,
reports the magazine Steel,
orders are running ahead Of
shipments in the steel industry.
Although there's little evi-
dence in the order books" to
support such a prediction, the
magazine said. it forecast an
increase in August bookings Of
about 10 per cent over July's,
and a similar gain in Septem-
ber.
What the industry needs
most for recovery isn't a lot OF
orders from the automotive in

of all sizes from policies of liq-

Even though there's little
likelihood of a boom in any

continued.
The national rate of steel
making rose l.8 points last
week to 55.l per cent of rated
capacity. Steel said it should
reach so per cent by the end OF
August.
The iron and steel industry

This compared with 607,l57
