Comparing Cities Frequently local residents are disgruntled and make comparisons of their home town, Decatur, with neighboring cities, suggesting improvements for Decatur. But just as frequently, and perhaps with less local talking about it, Decatur surpasses its neighbors. This past weekend both Decatur and Huntington offered a weekend bargain tour to New York City. From Decatur, 80 people made the trip. Huntington, a bigger city, sent only 59. Decatur maintains the only free swimming pool in the state of Indiana for its children. It maintains one of the finest recreation centers in the state, thanks to the generousity of local people and to D. W. McMillen, Sr., and the continued interest of the city board of recreation. The miles of newly paved streets, accomplished with funds from the sale of the Decatur light plant and from state gas tax money, testify to the forward look that Decatur is putting forth. The newest set of modern street lights in the state will be installed soon at the sites now marked by concrete bases on the city’s main streets. Later this year, some residential lights will be installed on Mercer avenue and Monroe street, along the highways through this city. Decatur’s police and firemen number among the best-qualified and numerous of any city for its size in the state, too. With the two new water towers, built with funds from the sale of the Decatur light plant, Decatur will be able to supply water even in the event of a power failure, something that it was unable to do before, as those who were here when the power plant blew up 20-odd years ago remember. In addition, a higher pressure, for better fire protection, will be maintained. Decatur is a living, improving, modern city, and needs only your help and interest to stay that way. Its fine industrial park, located just off highway 27 between two railways, has had a steady growth since its inception, and is widening the base of industry in the city. . # Editorial Writer Today Dick D.

Sorry Spectacle Os Congress Deplored

By HARRY FERGUSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Letter from Miss Ellie F. Ogburn, Danville, Va., to the Washington Post: “For 25 years I have taught American history and g overnment. I have tried to instill in my students a love of country and a respect for government.. . Recently I was a visitor to the gallery of the House of Representatives. There had to be a second roll call to obtain a quorum, a congressman had to request order and finally the chair was forced to ask the members to stop talking and sit down. There were boys and girls in the galleries from all over the United States. They had come to see how the duly elected congressmen of the greatest country on earth conducted the business of making laws. It was a sorry spectacle.” With all deference to Miss Ogburn, it is necessary to point out to her that she is championing an old-fashioned conception of the function of Congress. True, there was a time when congressmen arrived in the chamber promptly, seriously debated a bill and then voted on it. But Congress makes its own rules and this one seems to have decided that its function is NOT to vote on bills. There are various ways not to vote on bills, and not showing up in the chamber and milling around in disorder is only one of them that comes under the general heading of “non-legislative strategy.” Cites “Brilliant Example” In the Senate we have just witnessed a brilliant example of how not to vote on bills. Some senators decided not to vote on the space satellite bill. They not only were not going t o vote on it themselves, they were not going to let anybody else vote on it. The way you accomplish this is to start a filibuster, which means you 'keep talking indefinitely so there cannot be a vote. Sen. Maurine Neuberger filibustered for 4 hours and 39 minutes when her turq came and it was a notable contribution to the nonlegislative concept of Congress even if she did have to slip out of her tight shoes. But who in his wildest dreams would have imagined that Mme. Neuberger and her don't-vote-on-bills faction could win a dounleheader? They did by agreeing to end the filibuster for ten days if the other senators would promise not to bring in a farm bill to be voted upon. The promise was forthcoming and undoubtedly this was the finest hour for the nonlegislative legislators. It is no secret that there is a move on to make sure nobody votes on anything by having Congress adjourn and go home. This possibility was suggested to President Kennedy at his press conference and quicker than you could say Hyannis Port he announced he was against adjournment. The moral of this is that you can be in your mid-forties and still be old fashioned by insisting that congressmen vote on bills. Under Misapprehension Miss Ogburn doubtless labors under the misapprehension that members of Congress have nothing to do but study bills and vote on them. This is a narrow conception and perhaps she should consider the case of Rep. William Ayres, an Ohio Republican. He wanted to give a party, so he took time from his other work to compose this invitation: “Are you tired of people in wet evening clothes? Would you like to go to a party where everyone stays as dry as the martinis? I’m t hrowing a little old f ashioned type of party where you aren’t obligated to do anything... There are a few things to keep in mind: Elbow bending is permitted but arm twisting isn’t. There is no swimming pool which should keep away the New Frontier types, Larry Lanolin won’t be providing music, but we’ve arranged for Vic Trolo to fill in.” Senator Writes Poem Witty sayings aren’t easy to come by, Miss Ogburn, and if the congressman stayed away from

the House chamber to produce his letter, let us consider it a ■ plus for literature. Which brings . us to culture and the poem writi ten by Sen. Jennings Randolph, a Democraft from West Virginia: t How like the game of baseball - is the game of life we play, i Except that in life’s game , we keep on when we’re gray. The bases are the passing years » and the foes we meet are strong. 1 And ever stiffer in defense . they fight as we move along. And often down near home plate 1 success arm’s length away—--5 Wemake one little error , and we’ve lost our whole life’s ; play. Now,; just suppose the senator 1 had been interrupted while writ--5 ing that poem to go to the cham- - ber and vote on some old bill or i other? His soaring imagery, his f involved rhyme scheme, the en- ■ tire flight of his creative imagination might have been lost beyond recall. Miss Ogburn, a cyni- ■ cal fellow said to me the other 1 day, “Well, Jennings Randolph 5 falls considerably short of John J Keats.” I reminded him that John 2 Keats, dissipated his life away, 1 died before he was 30 and never • had the honor of being elected 1 to the United States Senate. s 5 1 Chicago Livestock a 1 CHICAGO (UPI)— Livestock: • Hogs 5,500; fairly active; butchi ers steady to 25 higher; mostly t steady to strong; good shipping ; demand; U.S. No 1-2 200-225 lb butchers 19.50-19.85; around 120 head 19.85; 53 around 215 lb 20.00; . mixed No 1-3 190-230 lb 19.25-19.50; , 230260 lb 19.0019.35; package No . 23 around 275 lb 18.50; load No . 2-3 315 lb 17.85.
