Washington As further evi-j
dehce of the Senate’s concern
with the economic situation, two
concurrent resolutions were pro
posed last week by Lyndon John
son, Democratic Majority Lead
er. I was glad to join in as co
sponsor of the resolutions along
with many other Senate mem
bers.
Relieve Economic Distress
The resolutions seek to spur
action on present military and ci
vilian construction projects in or
der to relieve unemployment.
Funds have already been appro
priated for these varied and wide
ly scattered projects, but it is
felt that actual work on these
should be speeded up.
Support by both Democrats and j
Republicans shows unwillingness I
by Congress to accept the Ad-'
ministration viewpoint of waiting
longer before taking action of this’
sort.
One resolution deals with ci
vilian construction and the other
with military projects. Except
for the designation of civil and
the wording of the two
is identical. They read as fol
lows:
“Resolved by the Senate (the
House of Representatives concur
ring), That since there is substan
tial and growing unemployment
in many areas of the country
since many of the productive fa
cilities of our economy are either
idle or only partially occupied 1
since there is a clear danger in
volved in permitting an economic

mum effort to take corrective ac
tion; and since here are many au
thorized and urgently needed civ
il (and military) construction pro
jects for which substanial appro
priations have already been
made;
“It is hereby declared to be
the sense of the Congress that all
such construction programs for
which funds have been appro
priated should be accelerated to
the greatest practicable extent so
as to achieve the desirable objec
tives of reducing ,unemployment,
putting our productive facilities
to fuller use, and moving forward
i the date of completion of these

' greatly to enhanced national pro
ductivity and continued economic
'< growth and prosperity.”
Expression of Congress
As Senator Johnson said in in
troducing the Resolutions, Con
gress is not the action arm of the
Government in this matter. He
pointed out that while we can
grant authority and make appro
priations, Congress cannot ad
minister the laws nor can we ac
tually construct the projects that
will put people to work.
He underscored the importance I
of the Reylutions when he said
that Congress can and should ex
oress our feeling that the action
arm of the Government, the exec
utive, should accelerate the pro
jects.

Tips to Improve Your Hood writing
• The race to keep ahead of the Russians haa resulted in a 1
greater emphasis on college education for Americans than ever
before. *
Several million Americans will be graduating from colleges
this June and hundreds of thousands Will be starting their college
educations in the fall. Thousands of scholarships will help many
young men to All the need for scientists and professionals. -
Yet, paradoxically, an over-*
whelming number of these stu
dents, and other adults, cAnnoi
write their own name legibly!
Mrs. Claire Slote, author of a
new McGraw-Hill book titled,
“Improve Your Handwriting,”
says, "The handwritten word is
a precious, practical craft- passed
down through the ages. More
than any other skill, it distingu
ishes- civilized man from the
barbarian.”
What has happened to the
second “R” today? "Poor hand
writing annually is costing us
tens of millions of dollars in lost
business, and undeliverable mail
is heavy enough to sink a battle
ship,” says the Handwriting
Foundation of Washington, D. C.
"We are a nation of illegible
scribblers. Education has not
taught many of us how to write
legibly.”
Americans who can recite
everything from “Casey at the
Bat” to Shakespeare, and who
demonstrate on quiz shows what
knowledge they have acquired,
never could write down all the
facts legibly.
The Foundation, a non-profit
group of educators and business
men, is helping schools evaluate
their methods, so that the pres
ent trend toward specialization
does not neglect the cultivation
of legible handwriting. But even
