The Vanishing Word

The paradox Of language Is
this: The word is present only 50
long as it is heard; as IL Ii
spoken. it vanishes; but the truth
which the word carries stays on;
not only has 1t permanencs IN
itself; 1t creates permanence Ia
that things and peoples gather
around 1t. and a world is shaped
contiguous to the truth, its en-
during center.
Through the use of the lam
guage he speaks, man receives. a
share of that uniting force, of
that continuity contained In lam
guage. Often more comes to him
from that than he possesses In
himself, much of what Is disin.
tegrating in q person is put into
its place, firmly so, as it Is put
into words, as it is put together
in a sentence; in the true sense
OF the word. it is put together
again. Language aids the individ.
ual to be integrated, a stable
personality. 1t aids man to live
IN continuity; it sustains him In
his essential character; it Is q
blessing whereby human incon-
stancy is transformed by the DOW.
er OF continuity which Is in Ian.
gauge and is brought into its pat
tern. In this no special effort is
needed from man; the Language
does 1t for him.-Max Picard In

Some Of the Bills Congress Didn't Pass

Anthem. The bill did not get
through and into law.
Many a bill introduced and re-
ferred to an appropriate commit
tee Is never heard of again. A
good example is the one intro
duced by the freshman Congress
man from Kansas, Mr.. McVey, a
Republican.
The essence of Mr.. McVey's
proposal was to prohibit shorts
on male and female persons over
the age of IL in the Capitol
Building. 1t went to the Public
Works Committee and died there.
Thousands of Bills
BY the end Of the session a total
OF 20,310 bills had been intro
duced. The figures include both
the House and Senate. Few be-
came laws. Many never even came
up for consideration as they were
laid on the table" by a vote in
committee and we're not reported
to the House.
Representative Shelley, Demo-
crat of California, has a pet bill

There are few men in Congress
today like the late Senator Lam
ger, Republican of North Dakota.
He used to whimsically divide up
the foreign aid bill into a series
of national improvement bills and
then vote against it.
Representative Plumley, Repub-
lican of Utah, used to introduce
from time to time a prosperity
revenue act" Its intent was to
keep more money in circulation
by almost doing away with taxes.
A major feature was keeping the
income tax below Is per cent of
income. This was, according to
Mr.. Plumley, Approximately the
point of diminishing returns"

suggested that the press use more
self-restraint in printing stories
involving security. 1t was not
an unreasonable request. But
the press, or portion Of 1t, al
ways sensitive to the possibility of
censorship, reacted vigorously. The
American Society of Newspaper
Editors organized a group which
called on the President to ask him
what he had in mind. What he
seemed to have in mind was what
he had advocated in his speech,
more self-restraint by the news
papers. He showed his visitors
some clippings. in confidence,
which he thought indicated lack
of self-restraint. Some of his visi-
tors disagreed, citing chapter and
verse to prove that there had been
self-restraint in the form Of con-
sidered judgment, and argued that
security had not, in fact, been
jeopardized by what was printed.
The Presidents Words
Contrary to some reports of the
affair-leaked to the press by
newspapermen-the President did
not ask the group to do
anything. He casually men,
toned suggestion he had re-
ceived, embodying the idea of a
sort of voluntary censorship, with
some big-shot representative of
the newspaper and radio business
being filled IN on secrets and
placed in an available position to
advise their colleagues about what
sort of news would endanger Sc
curity. He did not propose that
this be done. And his visitors
merely said they didn't think it
would work -but If he thought it
should be done, it would be the
Governments. not the press re-
sponsibility. to do it. That was
that.
The idea referred to by the
President, putting at Govern
ment's disposal some supermen Of
journalism to inform their COL
leagues, when asked, what should
not be printed. is an odd delusion
that reoccurs from time to time.
1t probably owes its origin to the
office of Censorship in World
War II. But those who advance
it now forget that censorship, like
pregnancy, is all or nothing. You
can't just have a little of it.
There is an ironic twist to the
Pentagon's furious maneuvers to
eliminate leaks, including the re-
quirement that anybody at the
Pentagon who talks to a reporter
must inform Big Brother-the
public information office-of the
substance of what was said, al
though it is OK to talk If Big
Brother is there in person. Some
thing of the same sort was tenn
porarily tried at the State De-
partment, but abandoned.
The irony lies in the fact that
in 1913 Secretary Forrestal sug-
gested the same system. later
described by the President to the
ASNE. of setting up an agency
in the Pentagon, manned by press
representatives trusted by their
brethren, who would always be

The legislative obituaries have
begun now that the Eighty
seventh Congress has adjourned
once and for all. But only a frac-
ton Of the proposed legislation
that died at the end of a Con-
gress' second session has received
or will receive public epitaphs.
Everyone knows that medical
care for the aged, aid to educa-
ton and the urban affairs plan
did not become public laws. But
few will remark on Congress fail
