A LONG SESSION

Majority Senate Leader Mike Mansfield
told newsmen recently he foresaw long
congressional session this year-one which
would reach we'll pass the August 1st adj
journment date heretofore envisioned.
The Senate leader said much of Presi-
dent Kennedy's legislative program is yet
to be acted upon and, while he didn't say
it, it is a we'll known fact that Mans
field is committed to an effort to again
change rule % in the Senate before this
years session is adjournedy
The Montana Senator promised those
who wanted an easer-to-obtain cloture in
the Senate, at the beginning of this session
that he would bring the issue to head later
in the year if they allowed the Senate to get
off to a non-controversial start. He said re-
Gently he intended to fulfill that pledge
The dispute over rule % is an old one
1t is a question of how many of the Senate's
members should be needed to shut off de-
bate on a question before the Senate. Back
in the 1905 there was really no way for
the Senate to invoke cloture. if those wish
ing to talk at length began their staling of
a motion to bring up bill.
This was called the foolproof filibuster
available under the rules of the Senate al
that time. In a bitter fight in the Senate
over rule %, in the year 1949 just after
President Truman had won a surprise vic
tory, that foolproof filibuster was elimi-
mated, though the Senate had to fight fill
buster to change the rule.
The rule has been changed repeatedly
in the last ten years.
The drive is now on to win simple ma
jority cloture. If this is brought about in
the Senate, free debate and free speech will
be a thing of the past for the side which
has a one-vote majority will be able tx
muffle the opposition by a simple one-vott
margin.

TAFT-HARTLEY USED

When the Taft-Hartley bill was passed
and became law, there were loud cries from
many labor union bosses and from too many
Democrats that the bill was persecution
of the laboring man. While the law is not
perfect and while the late Senator Robert
Taft agreed, himself, that changes were
needed in the law it has proven highly val
liable.
President Truman-a Democrat-was
forced to use it. Now President Kennedy
has used it, to get Americas ports operating
again. President Eisenhower, Republican,
used it also, of course.
All Democratic Presidents note-when
they invoke the Taft-Hartley law-that they
are using it reluctantly. But by their very
use of the law they are being forced to adj
NIT that it is the only recourse left open to
the President to protect the interests of the
public, and to safeguard the security of the
nation.
All of which brings us around to the sub
iect of present-day politics and the trend
in the United States. The growth of organ
lied blocs has become so significant in Am
erican political life that we are faced with
the same kind of paralysis that wrecked
France in the thirties.
In other words if the trend in the Uni
ted States continues over the decades, we
may see the time when the administration
is so intimidated by the powerful political
forces brought to bear, such as labor unions
a major church, racial groups highly organ
lied, or other blocs. that it canont act in the
best interests of the country.
1t is true, of course, that the power of
the executive branch of the government has
greatly increased in recent years. But the
power of organized pressure groups has
more than kept pace, and the influence these
groups now exercise, in Congress, is tanta-
mount to veto power.

CHRONICLE DELAWARE FRIDAY, AUGUST A.
OUR NATIONAL WILDLIFE

The United States has been nobly blessed
in the matter of natural resources And
when we speak of our natural resources we
almost always mean the minerals, oils and
riches which are to be found in the earth
and waters of our country.
Another natural resource is the wildlife
which we have inherited and which we have
so often slaughtered. Unfortunately, the
United States record in preserving wildlife
is not good one. In some instances, we go
overheard, perhaps
When someone discovers that there are
only SO Whooping Cranes left in the wes-
tern states, we suddenly wake up to the
senseless destruction of this bird and go to
great effort to save it from extinction.
But with such great animals as the elk
of the West, of Colorado, for example, we
seem ready to let hunters kill them down
to the last herd. And the United States is
guilty-nots Colorado-for it is u. S. Off
Gals who determine the number of permits
which will be issued for the killing of cows
and bulls.
This is true because the great elk reg
ions, so often, are u. S. forests, and fores-
try officials have the final word on the num-
Der of elk to be killed. But these forest Off
Gals who live in the area are often brought
under heavy pressure by local chambers of
commerce and business men, who seek hunt
ers and hunting trade, for business reasons.
These selfish interests seek to bring in
thousands in October, when elk can be legal
ly killed. Lodges are continuing to spring
up all over-to handle the gut of hunters.
Game licenses are high-S50 and 500
and the hunter who pays this price wants to
take some game home. Thus, some herds
are literally slaughtered to the last elk. Too
many permits are issued, in the beginning,
and this is the start of the trouble.
This is just one case of wildlife de-
struction. We see it with quail, with fish,
and with other species all over the country.

At first leading investment bankers
objected to such Revenue Bonds;
but finally they accepted them and
the bonds sold freely. OF the hun
dreds of millions worth of bonds
issued, only one (that put out by
West virginia) has defaulted.
Now certain cities in the South
are issuing such Revenue Bonds
to provide funds for new indus
tries. They are tax-exempt and
must be voted by majority of
the citizens. These bonds have
been freely accepted by northern
investors. Many of our cities are
now taxing their citizens heavily
to provide education for their chill
dren. But as soon as the more in
telligent of these children gradu-
ate from high school. they are OBJ
liged to leave their native city
and go to more progressive city
in a more progressive state. Hence
there has been little population
growth for many northeastern
cities. They need new factories,
and the issuance of Industrial
Revenue Bonds seems the best
answer.
