Washington The value of a session of Congress should never tie judged on the basis of the volume of legislation enacted. While approval of measures in the national interest is highly desirable, Congress also performs an invaluable function by adopt ing a "Stop-I.ook-Listen” atti tude toward unwise proposals. The 1963 session did not ac ; coo plish a great deal of a posi ( tive nature, but the legislators i f ised to approve a large num ber of proposals which oppon ents contended would have vast ly increased federal spending, (ere alized additional power in the federal government and the presidency and further regiment ed industry and the people. Hut—and this is a highly im portant but—the 1964 session pi ks up exactly where the 1963 one left off ,and determined ef < forts will be made to push much of the pending legislation to en actment next year. So, what industrly really has gained is a reprieve so far as legislation it opposes is concern ed. I At the same time, industry has a new opportunity to urge approval of measures it favors—| such as tax rate reform which would make more investment capital available to create jobs | and to expand the economy. Legislation passed during the session included proposals equal pay for women, com- Hu»t arbitration of a railroad HHB.r dispute, expanded federal against air pollution, and subsidies for some edu- BHBtional programs, as well as Senate ratification of the limit ed nuclear test ban treaty. The Administration’s tax bill was passed, in modified form, by the House—and the Senate Fi nance Committee concluded hear ings on December 10. Final ac tion, retroactive to January 1, is generally expected during the early months of the new year. Civil rights legislation was ap proved by the House Judiciary Committee and Chairman Smith | (l)-Va.) of the Rules Commit tee has promised hearings “rea sonably soon" on whether to send the measure to the floor fur a vote. A filibuster awaits in (he Senate. A not inconsiderable amount :.i time was consumed by charges from- liberals that Congress Mu Id change its rules so as to expedite approval of legislation proposed by the President.

Ford (R-Mich.) in a speech to the national convention of the American Farm Bureau Federa tion. Pointing out that 207 requests for money and 70 requests for additional presidential power had been submitted to Congress by the President during the first six months of the session. Rep. Ford added: “Suppose we had just rubber stamped everything that came before us. Would we have been serving the nation’s present and future welfare? “We would not! We would, instead, have plunged this na tion into a red-tape nightmare of regimentation and controls, mortgaged our future, and re nounced our responsibility.” Liberty is not idleness, but the free use of time.
