Washington Report
— By —
CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES
Congress continues to observe
the August recess. Much has
been said about the antiquated
system under which the
legislative processes are
handled in the Nation’s
Capitol. This includes criticism
of the seniority system which
invariably results in the older
members occupying key
positions. In view of some
complaints, the House has
made an effort to make changes
which at least insure a division
of power among some of the
younger members. In order to
accomplish this, the House in
January of this year approved a
set of recommendations which

were presented by a com
mittee composed of members
representing every
geographical section of this
country and including both
younger and senior members.
The new rules stipulate that the
chairman of a full committee
may chair only one sub
committee of that committee,
and that no Member can be
chairman of more than one
legislative subcommittee, and
that no Member can be on more
than two committees with
legislative jurisdiction.
The results of these recom
mendations, while little noticed,
have been far-reaching. Today,
in the 21 standing committees of
the House, no fewer than 113
Congressmen hold sub
committee chairmanships, an
unprecedented distribution of
legislative responsiblity to
more than 25 percent of the
entire House of Represent
atives. This is an historic
reform which will leave an
imprint on our work as the new
chdrmen apply their energies
and growing expertise to the
proUems within their
jurisdictimt.
So deeply did the change
reach that one subcommittee,
the Housing Subcommittee of
the Cbmmittee on Veterans
Affairs, is chaired by a Member
serving his first full term in the
House of Representatives,
Charles Carney of Ohio,
l^ile the South continues to
lead all regions wiUi 49 sub
committee chairmanships,
there are now 28 chaired by
Members from the East, ^ by
Midwesterners, and 14 from the
West. Texas leads all States
with 12 subcommittee chair-

BATTLE PLAN . . . The war on grasshoppers is a multl-
millloa dollar program each year in the western states. At Sheri
dan, Wyoming, spray tanks used in grasshopper control work are
filled ndth insecticide as pilots and U.8. Department of Agricul
ture specialists from the Agricultural Research Service plan fu
ture spraying. Key to grasshopper control is to find them and
knock them out early while the grasshoppers are small and con
fined to limited places.

It is hoped that his diffusion of
leadership responsibility in the
House will vitalize the entire
legislative prosess.
On Thur^ay, August 26, I
was honored in receiving a
special invitation to attend an
“appreciation Rally’’ in Little
Rock, Arkansas for
Congressman Wilbur Mills,
Chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee. Ap
proximately 35 Members of
Congress were flown from
Wa^ington, D. C. for this oc
casion, and we were most
impressed with the enthusiasm,
large crowds and sentiment
displayed. The Barton Coliseum
was filled to its 10,000 capacity
and another 12,000 gattiered
outside the Coliseum making it
necessary for the entire Ap
preciation program to be
repeated a second time for their
benefit. Althou^ it was not
officially announced as a “kick
off” rally for Mills as a potential
Presidential candidate as has
been speculated, the event was
indeed indicative of the ap
preciation for and high regard
in wiiich Wilbur Mills is held
by his people, and his growing
popularity throughout the
Nation.
