Washington The conserva
tive* fontee in Congress have lost
some recent battles by very
close votes —but this indicates to
them that only a slight change
in grass roots sentiment could
produce some significant victor
ies in the future.
They believe that victories will
be possible if and when the pub-,
lie realizes that much of the
New Frontier legislative program
threatens more unemployment,
higher business costs which force
increased prices, bigger govern
ment spending, inflation, reduc
tion of the value of the dollar, a
more massive federal bureaucra
cy, and further destruction of
states rights.
One of the conservative de
feats was the 44 to 42 Senate
vote approving a giant step to
ward complete federalization of
the state unemployment com
pensation system. This favored
handling the problem on a na
tional basis rather than letting
each state finance its own pio
gram of' unemployment relief.
The Senate action, however,
stirred up considerable opposi
tion to further federalization
which is expected to be recom
mended soon by President Ken
nedy—and could result in a long
range conservative triumph.
Another set-back was the 4')
to 45 Senate vote in favor of
“back door” financing for the]
depressed areas legislation.
This could serve to stiffen i
House resistance to such unor
thodox financing—that is, get
ting- the money directly from the
Treasury and by-passing the
House and Senate appropriations
committees. A campaign al
ready is under way in Congress
against the “back door” proced
ure;
A third conservative defeat
was the 217 to 212 House voe
by which President Kennedy and
Speaker Rayburn succeeded in
packing the House Rules Com
mittee in order to assure. that
legislation they favored would
be rushed to the House floor for
a vote after approval by legisla
tive committees.
Considerable antagonism has
been aroused, however, by the
reorganized Rules Committee.
Some members of Congress al
ready are predicting that it will
be unpacked at the first oppor
tunity two years hence. j
The argument by Kennedy
supporters for adding three new
members to the Rules Commit
tee was that the House should
be permitted to “work its will'’,
on legislation—and therefore the
Rules Committee should not de-j
lay the progress of measures to
the House floor.
Yet, the reorganized Rules!
Committee permitted a House
vote on temporary extension of
unemployment compensa
tion payments only on condi
tion that there would be no at
tempt to amend the measure as
approved by the House Ways 1
and Means Committee.
This obviously did not permit
the House to “work its will”.
Then the reorganized Rules
Committee flatly refused to per
mit a House vote on a proposal
to end “back door” spending by
the government.
Again, the tHouse was not per
mitted to “work its will.”
More examples of the narrow
division between liberals and
conservatives are believed cer
tain to develop as the session
of Congress runs its course.
Conservatives are convinced
that they could begin winning
victories if some additional sup
port were- communicated to Cap
itol, Hill, from back-home voters.
Federalization of Program
Among those who opposed fed
eralization of the unemployment
compensation system as long
advocated by President Kennedy
—was Senator Lausche (D-Ohio),
who asserted during Senate de
bate:
“We already see the signs
which indicate- what will be
proposed. Uniformity, stratt
jacketing, no difference any
where, a monolith. It sounds
rather close to the philosophy
of monolithic government that
has dominated nations in Eastern
Europe and Middle Europe—the
peoples under the control of
Russia. Nothing different, all

must be identical, and if they
are not equal by nature, the (
Congress will make them
equal ...
“The direction is toward a|
monolithic government, with!
Washington telling the people j
how they should think, how they
should speak, what they should
jo, and that, though economies
vary, the federal government by
legislation will declare that the
cost of living in Alaska is iden
tical with .that in New Mexico.
Red will be declared to be green,
truth to be false.
“With these things in pros
pect, I announce now my op
position to this obvious program
of federalization.”

The Sneeze Menace
You could practically go into
orbit on the propulsive power of
a sneeze. Research shows that
a cough or sneeze shoots out
germ-laden droplets at a rate of
150 feet a second. The larger
droplets usually travel for about
live feet before they fall to
he ground. They’ve been known
to hit the twelve-foot mark,
though. Small droplets float on
wards and upwards for hours.
Many Illnesses, including the
’common cold, flu, pneumonia and
tuberculosis, are spread f-r >
person to person by jet-propelled
germs in someoodv s careless
cough or sneeze.
It is possible to have an in
fectious illness without knowing
it. So anytime you feel a
cough or sneeze coming on. whip
out a tissue and cover your
mouth and nose. A hanJker
‘chief will do as well, though it
seems silly to put germs b
in your pocket. p->-'
are best, but don’t forget to dis
pose of them.
If you catch cold., don’t pester
vour doctor for an antibiotic. It
won’t do any good. You can
keep yourself comfortable with
nose drops, aspirin, and cough
syrup. But if fever lasts more
than three days, or you are short
of breath or have a persistent
cough, see your doctor at once.
