SENATOR SAM ERVIN ☆ SAYS * { The guidelines that will set the tone of this session are in the main twofold: the war in Southeast Asia and the de mands it will impose upon the •country. In the second category, lie the crucial decisions on Federal spending, with the par ticular problems of defense spending, and demands for al teration of the tax structure. Accelerated war spending is almost certain to bring propos als to raise tax rates, and a Viet nam truce may renew demands for a tax cut. The tax question may be with Congress most of the session. The long term battle in Con gress over foreign aid has not been settled. With less concern1 about the Federal deficit at the last session, it did not encount er as strenuous objections as are likely at this session. Holding the line on spending will be a major problem, and foreign aid raises great doubts about the merits of its expen sive commitments. The pro this plan and advocated it in gram is vitually certain to get another critical Congressional review. The farm program will prob ably get a good deal of atten tion in the months ahead due to proposals to expand the Food for Peace program. Present farm programs are designed to' curb excess food production | above domestic needs. Recom mendations to change this bas-l ic agriculture policy would get close Congressional scrutiny. Electoral College reform may get new Senate Judiciary Com mittee study. Nearly a year ago, the President proposed reform of the system governing Presi dential election procedures, but the road to reform has been long and controversial. There are a number of oth er proposals besides the Admin istration backed measure, and I am not very optimistic about widespread support of any par ticular approach that would re solve the issue. Over the years, I have supported the plan which would divide a state’s electorial vote in proportion to the per centage Of popular votes each candidate obtains. More recent ly, I drafted my own version of committee of Federal standards for State hearings. The proposed establishment of Federal standards for State unemployment insurance pro grams is certain to stir up a major debate unless it is altered more than I can foresee. I am convinced that sound policy re quires that the power to pre scribe the standards for unem ployment compensation be re tained by the States. The demand for federalizing this program comes in large measure from States in which improper acts have virtually bankrupted their unemployment compensation funds. This session begins with war a major concern. In the absence of a speedy resolution of the Vietnam problem, the force of this event will deemphasize new and more costly domestic pro grams. Providing both “guns and butter” brings the risk of serious inflation or the neces sity of burdensome new taxes. I do not think the American peo ple want either.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Degradable Waste We are reminded quite fre quently of our inability to cope with certain byproducts of our advanced civilization. Take the case of junk, or “urban solid wastes” as junk is called by the environmental pollution panel of President Johnson’s Science Advisory Committees. Every year, the panel said in a recent report, “we must dis pose of 48 billion cans, 26 bil lion bottles and jars, 65 billion metal and plastic caps and crowns, plus miscellaneous pack ing material worth more than half a billion dollars.” This is the price of affluence; it would not happen in a primitive so ciety. One man’s waste is ano er man’s treasure. But United States prosperity is built on high production and a high rate of waste. So the problem is to get rid of waste materials. One major need to which the panel call ed attention, and which every one recognizes, is a container that will serve its purpose and then “degrade rapidly when dis carded.” The development of such con tainers “is not likely to be an easy task,” said the panel. We agree. But it is worth a lot of research, and we think a civil ization that can produce a tin can ought to be able to find a way of getting rid of it painless ly.

OTHER EDITORS SAY MONTGOMERY, ALA., INDEPENDENT Titans Two The titans of Big Government and Big Steel are again locked in a fight, and there is a multi plied boneheadedness about it that is shabby. With everyone worried about inflation, the officials of Beth lehem Steel were demanding trouble when they tried to slip through a price increase on a type of steel that is basic to new construction. No other com modity has the power and in fluence of steel in setting the tone of the economy, as it quick ly reaches out and touches ev ery purse. Then comes the Administra tion with the big crunch, and this week has brought an ex hibition of great government ' powers used to rack up Bethle hem Steel or any others that stray from the line laid down by the Administration. The White House staff was boiling with rage because Beth lehem raised its prices even after being told not to do so by President Johnson. It is not the first time that a President has come back with an arrogant, petulant response. Under the American system, a company has the right tb act stupidly so long as it does not violate the laws. Even so, the Administration would not look so silly pinning back Bethlehem’s ears if its own policies were di rected at holding down spend ing and inflation. Some of the Administration mouthpieces in the Senate are wailing that Bethlehem’s offense is greater because there is a war on. Bethlehem’s offense is peanuts alongside the big bud get which will shortly be un folded by the Administration. It will be a budget compounded not only of guns and butter but pie in the sky and other confec tions set on smorgasbord of the Great Society. Hie noise from the White House about infla tion is cynical. inees from 26 private prepara tory schools on the Morehead Foundation’s selected list.
