Not Everything Here Is Purposely Funny

point, in walked the drinking
member. Suspecting a plot, he
had been feigning sleep. His ap-
pearance stalled the vote for one
more day but then the bill finally
was passed at the next sitting
when he was absent.
intentional HumoE
The intentional humor Of State
legislators never quite matches
the unintentional. Still the boys
give it a good try.
In Kansas this year, State
Senator August w. Lauterbach
introduced bill to build a dam
in his county.
I'VE haven't got any running
streams in my county but it
would make good tourist at
traction dam without any
water" he said. A fellow Senator
suggested the project be named
"Lauterbach Dam" and then
added it might even be better
to reverse the words. Having had
his fun, Mr.. Lauterbach yelled
the loudest in the voice vote to
kill the bill.
The Texas House adopted a
serious resolution urging the
Texas delegation in Congress to
oppose bills for Federal aid to
schools. Whereupon a State Rep
resentative introduced another
resolution:
". in the spirit of keeping
a separation between the State
and Federal systems, we have told
Congress on many occasions what
it should do about its affairs . &.
Congress has, so far as is known,
never memorialized us, and has
thus maintained an aloof and
arrogant position with respect to
the Texas legislature; now, there
fore be it:
Resolved, that the Texas Leg
islature memorabilia Congress to
memorable us some of the time
instead of superciliously sitting
around Washington and letting
us do all the memorializing."

sometime this month - probably
over Christmas Island In the Pa

Secretary Of State Rusk, more

unreasonable about a treaty be-

one. Mr.. Rusk says it is obvious
the Soviet Union wants to hold
another series Of tests to perfect
its nuclear weapons. And thus,
any treaty that prevented a re-

the Soviet interests.
The stalemate over tests has

armament conference in Geneva

achieving general and complete
disarmament. So far. discussions
on this complex topic have been
limited to procedural matters.

Syria:
Overthrow

The army overthrow the six
months old Syrian government
in q bl0odless coup d'etat on
Wednesday. The action came as
the Security Council took up the
recent clash between Syrian and
Israeli forces.
The Arab world long has been
shaken by major power struggle
between Egypt and Iraq.
Egypt's Nasser and Iraq's Kas-
sem both came to power through
military coups, and both are
pledged to destroying Israel and
uniting the Arab world under one
Moslem banner.
They can not agree, however,
on how to crush the Jewish state
or who should carry the banner.
Mr.. Nasser and Mr.. Kassem have
tried their utmost to WOO the
smaller Arab countries nearby,
especially Jordan and Syria.
Jordan once was aligned with
Iraq through family blood and
British protection. But after Mr..
Kassem's palace coup in 1858.
Jordan became Iraq's bitter
enemy. King HuSSein, Jordan'S
young ruler, presently is holding
power despite a disaffected in
telligentsia. His policy is strictly
neutral in the Arab intrigues, and
while paying lip service to Israel'S
destruction, their border has been
very quiet.
Syria, however. has been I'M
able to attain such stability. 1t
has suffered a series of coups
since its independence in 1943,
and the threat of a Communist
take-over led the Syrian leaders
to seek protection from fIasSer's
Egypt in 1858.
The Syrian Egyptian alliance,
however, Officially known as the
United Arab Republic, became a
disenchantment to all segments
of the Syrian population. Nasser's
police-state tactics angered the in
tellectuals, his socialism riled the
rich landowners, and his Egyptian
Aing of the army led directly to
last September 28's coup.
At the time of the coup, the

Someone drank the distilled
water used in the duplicating
machine one afternoon and the
whole legislature begged down be-
cause no bills could be prepared.
On another afternoon, Senate
Majority Leader Curtis w. Steen
socked a constituent in the nose
in the Capitol for assailing his
integrity. The constituent asked,
in vain, for repeal Of the States

challenge Mr.. Steen to joust

On another occasion, according

the House leadership launched a
plot to keep one member from

Talks Continue

Both sides seem to agree that
talks should continue on Berlin,
with a minimum of angry words.
At his press conference Thursday.
Mr.. Kennedy noted that both
sides have proceeded with a good
deal Of care because they realize
it is so important. We pro-
ceeded with care and we welcome
the care with which others may
proceed"
It is always difficult to detect
Soviet motivation, but the Soviet
refusal to increase Berlin tensions
may be related to Soviet problems
within the Communist bloc. Mr..
Khrushchev may be preparing for
a drawn-out political struggle with
the Chinese, and may not want
to worry about the West at the
same time he is having it out with
his East.
