Editor's note-Senator Reyn
olds' column for this week
was written at John Hopkin's
Hospital, Baltimore, where
the Senator is undergoing
treatment to find the cause
of trouble affecting his hear
ing.
The legislative snarls of the
first week of the special senior.,
of Congress indicate that nicn:
hers of both Houses have bene
fitted from their own surveys
of conditions "back home" and
are determined to see that new
legislation is in accord wiiii
national needs.
Th.'s is reflucied in the jnvv
ing pressure for mx relief iV-r
business, particularly smaii
|l»U:>inosses that fin I it liii ii
cult to compete with monopo
lies; in the desire to draff :i
j farm program that is workable
and not just designed to satis
| fy the demand that something
be done, and in the effort to
avoid new government boards
and commissions.
Aside from farm legislation,
the tax situation is one of the
most important problems con
• fronting Congress. It is an r
jpen secret that the Congres
sional Committees are daily
finding evidence that taxes are
definitely retarding full busi
ness and industrial recovery
and are determined to bring in
a bill for tax revision that will
be more equitable than the ex
isting law. If the pressure for
action continues, it may come
at the special session, although
the program calls for tax legis
lation at the regular session.
As soon as the farm bill is
reported, probably by the time
this column is printed, every
effort to speed it along will be
made in both Houses. It now
seems certain that the mem
! bers of Congress have a better
picture of farm needs and are
hopeful that they can be met I
through a well-planned law that I
will stand the test of tieoi. !
What will he done about the
wage and hour* bill is proble
matic. The "behind the scenes"
activities in the llou.vo, whi'iv
the measure is a live issue, in
dicate that the bill finally re
ported will be more favorable
to the South and free from i >
drastic Federal control. t;.,me
believe that the law should
standards for wages and hows,
leaving it to the Justice De
partment to enforce, rather
than to set-up elaborate and
separate enforcement machin
ery.
