took this occasion TO defend the

Some council members and

on major areas of controversy

Food Issue Skirted
The surplus food investiga-
tion was all but ignored by the
questioners.
Mr.. Shea said people with
many problems who can't fend
for themselves are the major
problem Of the District gov
ernment.
THE tragedy in public well
fare is that we have not had
adequate research staff to find
out the causes Of things that
happen" he said. Persons on
public assistance are people
who have suffered a consider
able number of DISADVANTAGES
such as no Job opportunities
and payments Of exorbitant
rents"

Mr.. Shea said he had read in

man-in-the-house rule.
Don't you discuss this with

the hearing. I'm surprised you

IT is A WORTHY objective
but, in going over some Of
SANS literature, The Ram
bier has a sneaking suspi-
cion 1t is the boss, and only
the boss. the society is con-
cerned with.
SAM is actually out to de-
velop better bosses. It stages
meetings and seminars and
holds courses In the art Of
management.
Some time back, for ex-
ample, some SAM members
were told that they had been
trained TO spot a mans weak
nesses and to help him learn
from his mistakes. The at
tention is concentrated on
what is not wanted.
What bosses ought TO be
doing, the speaker suggested,
Is finding out the best In
man, not the worst.
They were also given some
helpful hints such as:
Look at Jobs from the view
point of people who do them
well; give most Of your at
tention to your best sub
ordinates; assign 10 get best
results, not Just TO have the
motions performed; encour-
age innovation, improve
ments, suggestions.
AS yet, as far The Rambler
could tell, SAM has not held
a seminar on what the
Indians might be up 10 while
the chiefs are attending SAM
meetings.
But he did conclude that
SAM is nothing 10 worry

ing. They do not call for a
repeal OF the bill signed by
President Kennedy.
Explanation Offered
Hayden 8. CARRIER, counsel
for the House District Commit
tee, gave this explanation for
this approach: Legislation call
ing for repeal OF the earlier
measure would strongly imply
that Congress will consider any
bill that carries the proper
signatures as a valid law.
Mr.. CARRIER also said that Mr.
McMillan's strategy did not
stem from his position on the
question OF whether the Com
missioners have authority 10
adopt anti discrimination hous-
Ing regulations.
Questions have been raised as
10 the validity OF the enactment
OF an 1892 police regulation
measure that the Commission
ers are using as the basis for
possible anti-discrimination ac-
tion.
According TO Mr. CARRIER
however. the House District
Committees major challenge OF
the Commissioners position Il
that the 1892 act Is not broad
enough for the city 10 adopt
anti-bias regulations without
specific approval from Con-
gress

that gave the court authority

Barred by Rules

Under the new rules. the
"hustlers" are not permitted
ION our property" according to
Mr.. olsavsky. In fact. they are
barred from the cold, dimly
lit room where the food is
handed out except when help
ing someone to carry packages
out. But they spend much Of
their time on the warehouse
loading platform which Mr..
olsavsky said is also "our prop
erty."
To prevent abuses Of the food
distribution program, a spot
check Of recipients is now being
made. Each month, one-sixth OF
the eligibility cards are marked
with the letters I'D" This
means the recipient must iden-
tify himself. In the past, only
those picking up food for others
were required 10 show identifi-
cation.

Yesterday. perhaps because
of the charges. those passing

busted themselves helping eld-

at q passing girl and then said: !:

a job. You can't make a living
this way"
Until the end of the year, the
IS to 30 "hustlers" had their
own customers. Each month,
they would visit the homes of
the customers, pick up eligibil-
ity cards and then 60 to the
center for food.
Cards Checked
1T was very easy" the man
said. Wed pick up the cards,
maybe 10 or Is Of them, and
take them to Mr.. CHarolc,,

ton center) He'd check them
over and give us a slip, then
we'd go get the food and de-
liver 1t. If anything was miss
ing, the people could call him
and he'd know who delivered
it."
Now. in theory at least, no
one can pick up more than two
orders a month. This means
most of the food recipients
must come to the center them
selves.

He was quite concerned
because it was the first time

tually was located in an Of

not just been organized to
head off labor at the cross
roads.
II turned out the society is
celebrating It's golden ami
versary. It was started in 1912
by a man named Frederick

AS the father Of scientific

The organization is called
SAM" and it has chapters
throughout the Unite d
States. The local chapter has
$50 members from all seq
ments of business and Gov

The best thing about SAM,
in The Rambler's opinion, is
found in its charter. Among
other things, 1t is dedicated
to the elimination of un-
necessary effort and unduly
burdensome toll"

asked Congress to use a retro
active eraser on a legislative
error that has clouded the legal
status OF Washington's court

This. In effect. is the new
approach to the complicated
court problem taken by Mr..

Earlier this session. Mr.. Nc

on the courts status. This
earlier bill would have become

yesterdays legislation carries
an effective date retroactive to

Clerical Error Made
The switch on the effective
date is one indication Of the
chore facing Congress In un-
tangling the legislative court

The root OF the current prob

last Congress. The wrong bill
