Burley leaf and/or Burley blend
ed strips plus flue-cured tobac
co from the Old and Middle Belt
| (Types 11 (a) and (b).)
| Desired grades are “leaf and
cutters” (B, H, and C) of the
“2, 3, and 4” qualities. Estimat
!ed leaf apportionment will be
,78 per cent flue-cured and 22
| per cent Burley leaf. (If Bur
ley is purchased as strip, net
[ weight will be approximately 15
I per cent of total purchase).
J Rules Committee is the desire
J of New Dealers to speed through
j Congress their programs to vast
jly increase government spend
-1 ing and to tighten govenment
controls over industry.
■ There is a real danger that
they may succeed when Con
gress reconvenes on January 3
particularly if the number of
New Dealers in the House
should be increased as a result
of the November 8 elections.
The only thing that definitely
will remove the threat is the
election on November 3 of a
conservative majority of House
members.
Supporters of the Rules Com
-1 mittee point out that it per
forms an essential function. It
serves as a “traffic cop” to de
termine what legislation approv
ed by the other House com
mittees should be sent to the
floor for a vote, what should
be modified, and what should
be held up to permit further
consideration.
This procedure serves as a
; restraint against precipitate
I House passage of bills which
have been considered only by
members of one committee,
most of whom may be interested
only in doing favors for a spe
cial group of persons.
Many House members, for ex
ample, jump at an opportunity
to serve on the Labor Commit
tee so that they may be in a
position to act on legislation in
a manner calculated to woo the
votes of union members.
Measures approved by the La
bor Committee and by other
House committees as well—must,
it is contended, go before the
Rules Committee so that the leg
islation may be considered —and
acted on—in the light of the na
tional interest.
But the New Dealers are
aroused against the Rules Com
mittee because it held up the
progress of some of their pet
measures—all opposed by indus
try—during the 1960 session of
Congress.
Senator Kennedy, the Demo
cratic presidential nominee, is
among those who have indicated
support of the campaign to re
strict the committee’s authority.
Rules Committee champions
make clear that it cannot kill
legislation that a majority of
members really desire. There
are other procedures available
to by-pass the committee. But
it can delay final action until
the House members are afford
ed an opportunity to inform
themselves as to the effects of
legislative proposals.
Legislation which the New
i Dealers want to speed through
Congress, by limiting the au
thority of the Rules Committee,
includes measures to authorize
federal subsidies for education,
housing and area redevelopment
and to legalize situs picketing
and secondary boycotts at con
struction sites.
The Rules Committee, during
the 1960 session, failed to clear
these- proposals for consideration
by the House. All, for one rea
son or another, failed of enact
ment.
Other legislation advocated by
the New Dealers—the progress
of which might be speeded if
the Rules Committee were ren
dered less effective includes
measures to.
1. Increase the minimum wage
above SI.OO an hour and to
broaden coverage of the Wage-
Hour Act.
2. Expand the social security
system—and increase social se
curity taxes —to provide addi
tional medical care for the eld
°r’" i
3. Require advan6e'’" , TK>tice , 't6
federal agencies of corporate I
mergers.
4. Exnand the power of the
Justice Department to seize in- 1
Tna ouwAw hiSiUA SOgwTCR. KGSmS CASOtSiA. TmSaSDAT. OCTOBER 30. i 960.
'dustry records on suspicion of
j antitrust law violation.
5. Destroy the “good faith”
defense to price discrimination
charges.
6. Require advance notice to
federal agencies of price increas
es —and a defense of the in
crease at a public hearing.
7. Authorize multi-billion-dol
lar spending programs for an 1
infinitude of projects designed
to win voter approyal.
Other similar measures could
be mentioned, but these are suf
ficient to emphasize the poten
tial danger to the nation that
could fiow from a restriction
of the Rules Committee’s func
tions.
Since 1937, a coalition of
southern Democrats and conser
vative Republicans on the Rules
Committee has served to protect
the nation against enactment of'
a vast variety of harmful legisla
tion.
Conservatives in Congress—
and elsewhere-now are seeking
to do everything possible to as
sure that this protection remains
unimpaired.
To talk the right and live the
wrong is foolish deceit, doing
one’s self the most harm.
—Mary Baker Eddy.
