As Congress approaches the
mid-point of the session, a
legislative review may be
helpful on actions yet to come.
Control of the fedwal budget
and the long-needed overhaul of
the Congressional ap
propriations process is a
matter (d the highest priority.
The legality of Presidential
impoundments, which I have
called into question, is having
the effect of focusing attention
on efforts underway in both the
Senate and House to impose
more discipline in the budget
making process. This is a step
in the right direction toward
restoring some fiscal sanity in
respect to Federal spending.
Trade and tax bills are major
concerns of this Congress.

Committee has indicated that a
trade bill will likely be ready for
House action before the August
recess and that his Committee
will resume consideration of a
tax bill in early September with
prospects that such legislation
will emerge from the House in,
late fall.
The energy crisis, and par-!
ticularly the shortage of
gasoline, is a prime concern in
the Cmgress. Three Senate
Committees—Interior and
Insular Affairs; Banking,
Housing and Urban Affairs; and
Commerce—have been probing
for solutions to ease a situation
that seems to be getting worse.
Consumer prices and rising
costs of goods and services
continue to spotlight a growing
weakness in the battle against
inflation. On April 30th,
Congress extended for another
year the President’s authority
to control wages and prices.
Speculation in gold prices and a
widening deficit in our trade
balances with other nations
have touched off new fears
about the value of our dollar
in world exchange markets.
Last week the Commerce
Department reported that the
U. S. trade drficit soared to
$10.2 billion during the first
quarter of this year, more than
six times the deficit for the
preceding quarter. Actions to
strengthen the dollar are likely
to be an overriding factor in
trade and tax proposals to be
considered by ttie Congress.
A farm bill is expected to be
reported by the Senate
Agriculture and Forestry
Committee this week. 'The basic
purpose of the biU will be to
extend the farm program for
five years. The proposed
Agriculture and Consumer
Protection Act proposes a basic
change in determining farm
payments to farmers. The
Federal government would
share the risk with farmers only
in the event prices fall con
siderably below current levels
for feed grains, dairy products
and cotton. Under this proposal
the cost to the taxpayers is
expected to be minimal unless
target prices suffer a sub
stantial depression.
Public school education
continues to be a matter of
intense concern in communities
across the nation due to forced
busing of students to achieve so-
called "racial balance." On

Mrs. Louise Davis of

looking for some type of
work she could do at home
that would help her

Since she is unable

However, through the

Davis is learning to sew.
Using her new know
ledge, the homemaker
has learned to make
dresses, blouses and
slips for herself,
daugher and grand
daughter. And soon she
may be making garments
for others to help supple

Mrs. Davis feels that
“many people who are
