Aft. u.!? B - I Wf nwu KORnitA YOU WANT TO KNOW PART n A? I tald In cloung last week's column, the secret 10 the Future lief In understanding how Congress affect* humanity. . YOUR VERY Lire MAY DEPEND ON WHO WILL BE IN CONGRESS. The members of Congress generally have been good honest Americans who love their coun try, but can you consider this a* an outstanding asset in a fellow? -Isn't It self-understood that everyone living in our land loves this country and la a good American? WHAT COUNTS tS KNOWLEDGE . MANY A BUM HAS BEEN ELECTED TO CONGRESS en nothing but stupid and phony promises. That Is what too many people want to hear. A man can also sometimes get elected if he doesn't say a thing. That is considered smart, shrewd, and modest. The only trouble is that then the voters have no idea of what kind of a man they vote for. 1 would feel like a traitor to my district and my country if I would want to get elected on that basis. I want to be elected either my way or not at all. When 1 say my way I mean very simply this: I DONT TAKE PEOPLE FOR SUCKERS, 1 DON'T THINK PEOPLE ARE DUMB, AND I AM NOT GOING TO MAKE PHONY PROMISES OR CAMPAIGN SPEECHES THAT WILL WHIP UP EMOTIONALLY THE VOTERS WITHOUT ENR1CHENING THEIR LIVES. ANYONE IS FREE TO VOTE FOR MY OPPONENT and, except for his name, you are going to have the same sort of fellow in Congress as we had in the last half century. (And what do we have to show for almost SO years of continous machine representation? In our district almost the lowest Income per family in the whole wide United States.) That kind of groove can become a grave. But. life has chanced and we are facing problems and the people might as well realize that no President and no State Legislature, but only the U. S. Congress, has the authority or right under our Constitution, State or Federal, tq come up with the answers or to pass the laws affecting the nation and the people as a whole. LOOK AT IT ONCE FROM YOUR OWN PERSONAL POINT OF VIEW. Twenty years from now restaurant* with waitresses will be a thing of the past. Restaurants will largely be automatic. People will walk into a res taurant, push buttons, and get the kind of hamburger or steak or fried chicken with all the frills around that they want without anyone serving. And look a step further. WE NOW HAVE IN OUR NATION 65 MILLION WORKING PEOPLE. Most of them, in just 52 weeks or work every year, can produce far more than the people have money or the wish to consume and buy. On our farms in another 20 years from now a third of the farm hands will only be needed to produce more food than our population can possibly consume without killing themselves by over-eating. We have entered * new age. WE HAVE ENTEREp THE AUTOMATION AGE, which produces a whole new set of problems. Ninty-nine out of 100 members of Congress haven't got the faintest idea how to cope with these problems. We also face external problems, which are very different from anything our nation has ever faced before. Again. 99 out of a 100 lawmakers haven't got the faintest idea of how to cope with communism in the same world with us. You read newspaper after newspaper and they are all writing about the candidates for president. Yet they all shy away from discussing the vast importance of can didates for Congress. THE PRESIDENT OF OUR NATION DOESN'T MAKE THE LAWS, the President doesn't decide how much foreign aid will be given to the rest of the world, the President doesn't determine the amount of taxes you pay, and the President doesn't decide what is being done with the farm surplus. The President only proposes to Con gress: that is all) And t'e only other thing he can do is to administer in the best possible way the laws made by Congress. Unless people come to understand this they will con tinue and continue to elect to Congress too many people that are unfit. Please do not think that by electing me, everything would change overnight. My voice alone In Congress would be small. Only in time will some of the "old dogs" in Congress be replaced with capable men who know world conditions and the problems affecting hum anity. Only then can a beginning be made toward creating a better world. IF I WOULD BE ELECTED TO CONGRESS FOR ONLY TWO YEARS I MIGHT AS WELL STAY HOME. We have 437 Congressional Districts in our nation and the people In some of these districts have already started throwing out their old horse-and-buggy representatives. They have elected younger people, who have the basic training and knowledge to understand and to solve modern day pro blems, But, unless we have a majority of those people in Congress (irrespective of their party .affiliation), it will be all meaningless. No one. regardless how selfless he may be and how hard he may try, will be able to do a great deal 1 n training the "old dogs" in Congress to learn new tricks. It will just simply take new dogs who will be trained to cope, to perform, modern-day tricks. WHO DO YOU THINK IS TO BLAME FOR THE MESS IN CUBA and all the mess that is going to come up in these next few years? The President? By no means. The bUme i* with a sleeping Congress, a disinterested Congress, Congress filled with too many members who are only interested to be re-elected, who are only interested to do ti e popular thines, but. who would not consider any legislation which might lose t! em votes when it becomes time for re-elections. You must remember that MOST OF THESE PEOPLE IN CONGRESS, even if tie President, wit!- ti e most brilliant fnd capable advisers in the country, proposes SOmett-iM, ARE ACTl'ALLY UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND the significance of most of the proposals made by the President. Again I say, these members of Congress are pood citizens like vou and I, but we don't need a Congressional popularity contest: we need a Coneress .fit to take care of our nation and indeed be ti e leader for the whole world. WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THE STUPID FARM SUR PLUS? Only Congress can change the farm surplus Into something sensible. Our late Senator Scott had one of the most wonderful, humane, brilliant, and thrifty ideas about what to do with our farm surplus. But mem bers of his own party would not even consider H. Senator Scott had the brains, the ingenuity, and the knowledge to look into the future, but the others did not. 1 WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THE CRYING UNFAIRNESS in our land, the unfairness that in many counties people have hardly any income while in others the income for the average American living is tremendous? Is It the President? Or are the people in those poor counties to blame? Again it is onlv the Congress of the United States who is able to really took at the proNerrf and ' pass complete new legislation to even out the standard of living even In our own land. IT CAN BE DONE BUT IT CAN ONLY BE DONE WHEN THE MAJORITY OF THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO SEE THE NEED TO DO IT AND ARE NOT AFRAID THAT THEIR ACTION MIGHT COST THEM VOTES. LOOK AT OUR TAX LAWS. It there anything more unfair In the world than these' lax laws? Sut three months day and night. Congress spends time on discussing civil rights without getting one step further and reel important legislation to our nation is just simply neglected and put off from year to year. People must come to rMlite the vast importance of Congress and, therefore, must come to realize th?tr electing the fellow who paints everything rosy end makes the most beautiful promises, may one day cause regret. Even if the people chanee their outlook, then you mey rest assured that it will be ? long, long time before we will see any good results. WE WOULD NOT BE BOTHERED TODAY *Y COM MUNISM if in Wl a majority of the members of Con gress would have fteet intelligent enough n understand President Wilton and hit insistence that our nation become an active partner ia H e League of Nations.

(act that we are now members of the United Nations is meaningless (or the United Nations, in its present set up. can't enforce anything. COMMUNISM CAN BE CONTAINED if Coneress passes tl'e right laws. Congress, ytft todav, even at this late hour, ran still make laws that would enable every free nation on earth that is not vet completely in the clutchcs of communism to chase out of their countries every last filthy communist. This might not be popular legislation, but it is legislation that would assure peace and pros perity to the free world. And after the people have seen how well the legislation works, they will enjoy this type of legislation. ' I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SERVE, but I would only be happy to serve if you don't cxpect miracles.
