Some 900 absentee ballots to
be opened and recorded in
Rockville tomorrow probably
will decide who will be a Mont
gomery County Circuit Court
judge for the next Is years.
In yesterdays balloting, the
voters gave an apparent victory
to Walter H. Norman, a for
mer Republican trial magis-
trate. He leads Plummer M.
Shearin by SAB votes out of
about $4,000.
Yesterdays returns gave Mr..
Norman 5000 votes to Mr..
Shearin's 1881. The absen-
tee ballots, about 800 Of them
from military personnel living
out of the State, could swing
the election either way.
Montgomery Republicans last
night were claiming victory for
Mr.. Norman, a 57-year-old
Bethesda attorney, on the basis
that the G. o. P. always does
better in absentee balloting in
Maryland"
At stake Is a $22, 500-a-year
judicial position created by the
State Legislature only this
year. 1t is the first time In
Montgomery that neither can
didate for a Circuit Court post
has been a Sitting Judge"
either running for reelection
or running while serving as q
temporary appointee.
Mr.. Shearin, As, of Chevy
Chase, is a Democrat. Neither
candidate appeared on the bal
lot with party designation yes
terday, as is customary In
judicial elections.

Fee for Capitol Tours

come from constituents who
have stopped at the edge of a
guided party to listen-or to
tie their shoe-and have been
asked to pungle up a quarter.
It has even been reported,
without verification, that an
occasional Congressman is
tapped for the fee as he paused
to chat with a voter or lobbyist
in the corridor near q tour
group.
The guide business Is cur
rently contracted out. Mr..
Steed said he figured the guides
now make $4,000 to $4,000 a
year, working up to IA hours
a day. He said it had not been
worked out how many guides
would be needed to handle the
tourist flow, which has reached
as high as 41,000 in a single
day.
The next thing Mr.. Steed
hopes to work on, once visitors
are guided around the Capitol
free, is to find them someplace
in the area to park their cars.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-10-14

The Capitol's four million
visitors a year may soon be
able to stretch their dollars as
well as their necks.
The 25-cent fee for guided
tours of the Capitol building
will probably be abolished next
Spring.
Senate and House con-
ferees have agreed to intro
duce, legislation next session
that will put the Capitol guides
on the Congressional payroll.
Representative Steed, Demo-
crat of Oklahoma, chairman
of the Legislative Subcommit-
tee Of the House Appropria-
tons Committee, has already
set his staff to work preparing
a bill for him to introduce in
January. He said the legisla-
ton would probably be co-spon-
sored by either Senator Mon
roney. Democrat of Oklahoma,
or Senator Pastore, Democrat
Of Rhode Island.
Everybody seems to be in
favor of it." Mr.. Steed said
yesterday. 1.-The tourists will
like it, of course, and the men,
bers of Congress like it because
many of them have gotten COM
plants from constituents about
the fee.
"And the guides like it be-
cause they would get pension
and other benefits they don't
get now"
Mr.. Steed didn't say so. but

Not Enacted

Kennedy proposals that failed

following:
The $2.55 billion aid bill for
public grade and high schools.
A religious controversy over aid

factor.
The s2,674,OOO,OoO college aid
bill.
The 1925 million medical

Communication
Satellite

A rnaior administration
achievement this year was
enactment Of a law authorizing
creation Of q privately owned,
Government supervised corpo-
ration to handle this country's
participation in developing a
worldwide system Of commu-
nication by satellite.
Passage of the satellite bill,
over the opposition Of a group
of liberal Democrats who IA
vored Government ownership,
helped propel Senator Kerr,
Democrat of Oklahoma, into
the limelight as one Of the
most influential men in Con-
gress.
Congress also approved
grants for educational tele-
vision and an all-channel re-
quirement for new TV sets.

Foreign Affairs

In 1861 Congress authorized
$40 billion for foreign aid, but
appropriated only $50 billion
of this amount. This year it
authorized SAT- billion, but
again appropriated only $50
billion.
At the first session, however,
1t gave Mr.. Kennedy the long
range Swear authorization he
requested for economic loans
to friendly countries, and this
year it approved his request to
let the United States match
loans by other countries to the
United Nations, up to a limit
Of 500 million.
This session also authorized
the United States to lend up to
So billion to the International
Monetary Fund.
1t also voted to keep the
Presidents Peace Corps going,
with an appropriation of $5e
million for the current year.

Economic Affairs

In dealing with economic
measures to reduce unemploy-
ment and lessen it's hardships,
Mr.. Kennedy and his congress
sional leaders had a high de-
gree of success.
In the first session of this
Congress, in 1861, these eco
nomic measures were passed:
A greatly expanded housing
program; a new program Of
Federal aid to chronically de-
pressed areas; liberalized social
security benefits; a broader
minimum wage law; temporary
Federal increase in State unem-
.ployment compensation, and a
new farm program.
In the 1862, second session,
of this Congress Mr.. Kennedy
got through these economic
measures:
A S435 million tl1ree-year
program Of retrainifg idle
workers for new skills; a 5000
million emergency public works
authorization; a two-step pay
increase for all Federal en-

Health and Welfare

In the closing days Of the
session Congress put through a
set of tighter controls over the
licensing of new medicinal
drugs, which topped the list of
health and welfare measures.
The session also improved
the programs under which the
Federal Government helps the
State finance welfare programs
for needy families, dependent
children and the blind.
1t also sent to the President
a three-year program to help
the States carry on mass vac
cination against polio and
other diseases, and authority
to establish an Institute of
Child Health and Human De-
-7lopment at the National In
Sutes of Health,

Fiscal Affairs

The 1861 session of this Con-
gress appropriated $95.5 billion,
while the second session ap-
propriated about $102 billion.
Both figures include more than
SO billion for payment Of in
terest on the public debt, which
is a permanent authorization.
This $102 billion total sets p
peacetime record, and tops tht
Korean war budget of a little
more than 500 billion in 1852,
The biggest q ppropriation to-
tai was STAT billion in 1912, the
start Of World War II.
During the 81 months of its
existence this Congress raised
the ceiling on the national debt
from 1898 billion to 1908 billion

have to include his employees.

Rights

The administration tried to
get a new civil rights law to
curb literacy tests for voters,
but it died when Senate leaders
failed on two attempts to shut
off debate to bring the bill to a
vote.
Both Houses succeeded, how
ever, in putting through q
proposed constitutional amend
ment to outlaw poll taxes In
Federal elections, which must
still be ratified by three-fourths
of the States.
In its first session last year
the 87th Congress extended the

strengthen free world defense,
and authority to call UP re-
servists in time of cold wal
tension.

Farm Legislation

Congress turned down the
Presidents request for tighter
controls over production Of
wheat and feed grains. But he
got a compromise continuing
voluntary controls for 1868 and
a part of what he wanted for
1864. In 1864 wheat produc-
ton will be controlled on a
bushel instead of an acreage
basis.
While continuing for 1868

tary controls on feed grains,

was made on appropriation bills
while the two committees
squabbled over their preroga-
tives. The House wanted the
right to have its members pre-
side over half Of the joint meet
ings to reconcile conflicting
bills, and the Senators coun-
tered with a demand to orig
mate half Of the money bills.
The Senate lost its fight to
start half of the bills and COM
promised on the selection Of
chairmen for joint conferences.
But all indications are the
battle will be continued next
year.
Underlying the appropriation
feud was a contention by the
House that the Senate adds too
much money to appropriation
bills. \
The Senators retorted that
because all Of the bills start in
the House, the Budget Bureau
is forced to send estimates d.
rectly to the Senate late in the
session after the bills have
passed the House.
House ReaSserts Claim
A few days ago, the House
reasserted its claim that the
Constitution gives 1t the right
to originate all money bills.
One of the last acts of the
Senate yesterday was to adopt
a resolution by Senator Russell,
Democrat of Georgia, challeng-
ing the House conclusion and
offering to submit the issue to
a Federal appellate court or to
a commission Of outstanding
educators for their view.
The Senators contend that
the founding fathers did not in
clude appropriations when they
decreed in the Constitution
that the House should originate
bills for raising revenue.
But yesterdays action by the
Senate was only an expression
of it's opinion and is not ex-
pected to get the question be-
fore any court or outside COM
mission.
In the foreign trade bill Mr..
Kennedy got virtually every
thing he asked for, including /
Federal aid for industries and
workers injured by imports.
But on tax revision it was
a different story. He got in Is
modified form the Z per cent II
tax credit for funds company
invests in machinery and equip
ment, which is counted on to
stimulate business and jobs.
Compromise on Taxes
He had to give up his pro-
posal to Withhold 20 per cent
of the taxes due on all dividend
and interest income, and took
a compromise on tightening
tax deductions for business
entertainment Of customers.
Congress also voted a one
year extension Of the SO per
cent corporation income tax
rate and so-called Korean war
excise tax levels.
The conservative coalition in
the Senate scuttled the Presi-
dents request to set up a new
Department of Urban Affairs,
and in the House a similar
coalition blocked Federal aid
to elementary schools, but this
bill has met the same fate for ,
many years regardless of which :
party has been in power.
Federal aid to institutions Of .
higher learning also died in ;
conference, partly because the
conferees could not. agree on
what to do about loans to re-
ligious institutions.
Other issues that came be-
fore the Congress:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-10-14

1862. In 1861 the deficit was
$50 billion, and on June 80,
1862, 1t was $6.3 billion.
