In recent days the House
has settled down to long
drawn out sessions.
By a vote of 385 to 16,
the House passed what is
known as the Flag Dese
cration Bill. This gave
many of the members an
opportunity to speak at
length on the subject of
patriotism. So this bill
which had little or no op
position and should have

Again last week the bill
to increase the legal debt
limit was considered and
passed by the House. You
will recall two weeks ago
that Congress, by a mar
gin of nine votes, failed to
approve this measure. This
time the committee came
forth with a substitute bill
which provided $7 billion
less than the original bilL
Many people understand
this as an authorization to
increase spending or as ap
proving the present policy
of expenditures but it is
neither.
What the bill does pro
vide is the legal authorize
tion for the U. S. Treasury
to pay for obligations al
ready made. Many of us
who voted against the bill
two weeks ago hope that
we have served sufficient
warning on the administra
tion that we will not con
tinue to vote for huge ap
propriations to finance un
tried and unproved pro
grams.
The debt ceiling action
cannot be construed as a
partisan issue for the debt
ceiling was increased sev
en times during the eight
years Eisenhower was in
office at a time when this
nation was not militarily
involved with any other
nation. The debt ceiling
increase in the broadest
sense permits the treasurer
to pay the prior mistakes
of Congress in creating ex
penditures beyond receipts.
Along with many other
congressmen who are con
cerned, it is our hope that
this will be the last time
' for many yearn that this
debt limit will have to be
increased.
Another important mat
ter debated by the Con
gress, but not voed upon
was the $5 billion appro
priation for the National
Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration. When this
appropriation is approved,
this will bring the total
amount of money spent for
outer space somewhere
near $25 billion.
I am convinced that
somewhere in this vast
program there is a certain

amount of waste and the
desired objective could be ;
obtained with less money.
For an example, in the ;
bill there is an appropria
tion of almost SSOO million i
for expenditures on the
moon, if and when we ever
reach this objective.
It might be that those
who are so enthusiastic
about our foreign aid pro
gram have run out of
countries on this earth and
are attempting to extend
this aid even into other
planets. I intend to vote
for all amendments which
will reduce the amount of
appropriations in this bill.

month of May, there were
3,022 major crimes. This
was an increase of 880 over
May of 1966 or a 41.1 per
cent increase. For the
current 12 month period,
there were 33,911 major
crimes reported which was
an increase of 8,898 over
the previous 12 month
period or a 35.6 per cent
increase.
These are not to be con

crimes of murder, rape,
robbery and aggravated

THE ROUNDUP
By WILBORNE HARRELL
The Roundups for sev
eral weeks are probably
going to be just “foot-in
the-dnor” pieces, just to
keep ’em going. But I
shall give you as good as
I can, and write them to
the most of my strength.
Okay?
At the risk of becom
ing a bore, apropos the
lady who insisted on tell
ing you about her opera
tion for the umpth time, I
am going to tell you a
little more about my ad
journ in the hospital. To
start with, let me say that
they served excellent cof
fee, which went straight to
my heart and endeared
me—hold it a minute, I
don’t think endear is quite

the proper word. Can you
become endeared with a
hospital? I think not. But
anyway I loved their cof
fee, and I am hard to
please when it comes to
my java . . . THE U. S.
NEWS AND WORLD RE
PORT, while I was there
carried a story of the June
5 blackout which affected
four eastern states. With
the story was a picture of
a hospital corridor taken
during the blackout. Lying
on my bed, I wondered
how that affected the pa
tients. Did some of them
panic? I know I probably
would have, because total
darkness even for a few
minutes, will panic me as
quick as anything . . .
There’s one thing for cer
tain: this hospital business
makes me feel like a slick
operator who has lost his
shirt in the stock market,
because when it’s all over,
I’m going to be wiped out
to the point that I’ll have
to start all over again . . .
One night a neighboring
visitor dropped in to say
goodnight. The room was
dim and I didn’t have on
my glasses, so I thought
the lady was a nurse. Me
