Jirttn$ Representation " - An Americans had reason to be - jubilant on August 2. Not because -.' an unruly monarch had abdicated. t On that day the 79th Congress ad m. journed, and its members would soon sweep through the , pre-elec-Con countryside reporting to the t "constituency." Our Congressmen ' packed up to return home on that day, and it has been ours to vote ; for them or against them. Our founding fathers who decried tha making of laws "without repre sentation," could have compliment . ed our wartime Congress. Serving . through a most trying period at the - very beginning of our reconstruct s tian, . after courageously displaying a people's will through the most de bilitating war in our history, the 78th Congress faced all manner of complicated problems. Deliberation Probably the 79th Congress did not please everybody. But at the same time, when one surveys the record, ; it is apparent that this Congress hss made some unusual history. Con gress accepted the United Nations charter, thus committing America to a much more eff ctive part in ,M world leadership. This Congress " demonstrated that it is not willing to : allow our foreign policy to ride the Winds of fortune, that it will be ac " tive though deliberate in helping build a peace. Deliberate. That's a word our , Congress properly exemplifies. We .. - want our legislators to be studious v , and careful in preparation of laws, In this government of the people. ' Only in this way may we have the v-. best representation. Remember that . whan you hear the alarum: "Why , .doesn't Congress do something?" No Rubber Stamp Remember too that political ex ' pernancy makes deliberation neces - sary, as Congress attempts to work ,:. out a pattern of harmony with other ' departments. If some things were ' bungled by the 79th Congress, in " many instances the bungling may be chalked up to other branches of gov " - ernment But this Congress did demonstrate that it was no "rubber stamp" Congiess, and it made par :? '' liamentary history in this respect It was a people's Congress. It .: took definite steps in the direction of a balanced budget, for many legis Jators put themselves on record in an attempt to preserve the In tegrity of tha nation's finances. No . budget legislation was passed, but j- much was done to prepare ground ,:. work for future budget-balancing legislation. Decadent arMaeracjr. "" A few of tha spreading tentacles of bareaueracy ware lopped off by the 79th Congress., and tt refused to -'psss other meas ires that would nurture the beaii. Congress re fused to put tha National Boosing .. Agency on a permanent basis, and ; it turned the control and operation - of employment services back to the , states. Major proposals for federal aid to education died in committees. In removing many of the govern ment regulations which have served their purposes, the Congress gave notice that it Intends to keep the traditional freedoms making Amer ica the most desirable place lathe ' world in which to live.' Congress rs ' - i to sanction the drafting of la- ? rt i "ice. Long live c- r v it ev- f la V r - ness, the boys have all new equip ment and this will be a decided addition to Our town.
