Congress Has Acted To have truly representatives government, each Congressman must represent approximately the same number of people'— for that reason we reapportion every ten years, and each Congressman does represent approximately the same number of people. But each Congressman is not equal value! Committee chairmen are particularly powerful — they control, by themselves, much of the legislation that goes through their respective committees. Committees should accurately reflect the makeup of Congress. They should be neither more nor less liberal or conservative than Congress in general. The House rules committee is a good example of gross abuse of power by a small, willful body of men. As traffic control center for all legislation, it decides which measures should be brought to the floor for vote, and when. It can thus kill a measure which is favored by most of the people and most of the Congress — much to the pleasure of those dark forces of lobbyists who try to control Congress by exerting influence on powerful committees through friends. We have no desire to see any program “rammed” down the Congressional throat. But we do feel that our elected President, who has done much in two years to merit public confidence, does deserve to have his program considered by Congress. Unless the House rules committee is kept at its present size — with 15 members representing all factions of Congress, Democrat and Republican, liberal and conservative, northern and southern —a mere handful of six men can prevent any legislation from coming to the floor of Congress. And these six men, all Conservatives, two from the deep South and four Republicans—are on the committee, and in the past have used their power to prevent the Congress from considering important questions. This is not a plea to change men from conservatives to liberals, or to plea lor their votes — it is merely a plea to permit the Democratic process of voting be extended to the entire Congress — and allow the full Congress a free choice of programs. If the voters do not then get what they like, they are at perfect liberty to reject their congressmen at the next election. But if their Congressmen never get a chance to vote on specific legislation, how can the average voter judge what kind of a job his representative is doing? TV PROGRAMS Central DoyUsht Timo I

Bandit Nearly Made Escape At Alcatraz INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A notorious Indiana bank bandit came within a whisker of staging one of the most audacious escapes ever attempted from Alcatraz Federal Prison in California. The story was revealed Wednesday night by U.S. Atty. Richard P. Stein here. He said Roy Drake, sentenced in 1957 for bank robberies at Southport and Carmel, would have been the beneficiary if the plan had gone through. Drake, originally sentenced to two terms totaling 60 years, already had had his term reduced to 30 years—two consecutive terms of 15 years each for the two robberies in which bank officials were kidnaped and held hostage until their institutions, opened. Stein explained that a forged court document so carefully contrived that it was almost above suspicion arrived at the office of the Alcatraz warden with an Indianapolis postmark. The order purported to be from Federal District Judge Cale Holder here and stated that one of the two sentences against Drake had been vacated. The setting aside of one of the two sentences would have meant he was eligible for parole consideration almost immediately, Stein said. The attorney said the Alcatraz warden apparently did not question the authenticity of the document but was puzzled because the case numbers were given as 85 and 86 whereas his records showed them to be 84 and 85. He sent the order to Robert Newbold, the U.S. federal court clerk here and-asked which ease numbers were correct. Newbold could not remember that one of Drake’s sentences had been vacated so he' took the forged documents to Judge Holder. Holder said he had not issued the order. Stein said close examination of the document then revealed it was a forgery but such a good one it was not easy to detect. The rubber stamp of Holder’s name was slightly different than the one used in his court. The signature of Newbold was a good replica of his writing but the clerk was able to determine it was not authentic and had not been written by any of his staff members empowered to sign his signature. The forged order was dated Dec. 26 and was sent by the Alcatraz warden early this week to Newbold. Stein said the FBI has been called into the case and that several persons already have been questioned. “The wording was the same as a court order vacating a sentence and was only on slightly different paper,” Stein said. “If it had the right case number on it it might have changed the records at Alcatraz.” “We have some good leads and there may be some arrests,” Stein said. He said he personally felt the work was done by someone outside the prison and could not have been done by Drake himself. Ronald Zimmerman Aboard Destroyer USS MULLINNIX (FHTNC) - Ronald A.

What comments can you make on the role of ring bearer at a wedding? - A. The ring bearer is often part of a formal wedding, wears white or special period clothes. Since children are always unpredictable, you may think twice before including either a flower girl or ring bearer in your wedding party. If the ring bearer is included, it is wise to pin the ring securely to the cushion he carries, being sure the clergyman knows how it’s attached. i , Q. Is it proper for a business man to remain seated at his desk while shaking hands with a man visitor? A. When shaking hands, a man ALWAYS rises. Usually, however —and especially in a busy office — a pleasant greeting from where he is seated is all that is required. Q. Is it proper to decorate a dinner table with candles, if they are not to be lighted? IA. Yes; candles are always cor- ' rect on the dinner table.

Americans, Mexicans Are Now Good Friends

By HARRY FERGUSON United Press International MEXICO CITY (UPI) — The United States and Mexico are like neighbors who have been arguing across the fence for years and suddenly decide to become friends. But the history of U.S.Mexican relations is filled with wars, massacres, denunciations, property seizures and the epithets “gringo” and "greaser.” It is still possible to organize an anti-American demonstration in Mexico and find people willing to carry placards denouncing the Yanqui. “But you know,” said an American who has lived in Mexico for more than 20 years, “I don’t think the Mexicans ever really get mad at Americans any more. I have seen anti-American demonstrators march down a street lined on both sides by American tourists. Nobody bothered the tourists and nobody lost his temper. Sometimes I suspect Mexicans join demonstrations just because they like a parade.” Tourists Flood Mexico The U.S.-Mexican border is 1,600 miles long and thousands of American tourists flood into Mexico every year. There are innumerable points of possible friction. But popularity is a relative thing. Not too long ago a U.S. organization making a scientific poll of Mexican opinion asked this question: “On the whole should Mexico side with the United States or Russia?” The result: United States, 51 per cent; Russia, one’ per cent; neither, 43 per cent; don’t know, 5 per cent. President Kennedy made a trip to Mexico early last summer. Government officials worried about how to make sure there was a big turn-out along the streets. “Their fears were groundless. He got a huge, spontaneous welcome although the Mexicans sometimes get to musing on whether at least half the people showed up to see Mrs. Kennedy’s wardrobe and listen to her Spanish speeches. The relations between the two governments are excellent. Front 1945 to 1961 Mexico received about $750 million in credits from the United States. These included export-import bank credits and some from the world bank to which the United States is the main supplier of resources. During Kennedy’s visit a credit of S2O million was extended for agricultural developments. The American embassy here considers Mexico an excellent credit risk with a record of prompt payment. ‘Rember the Alamo’ It is a far cry from this

healthy, happy relationship back to the days of Gen. Antonio Lo- ! pez de Santa Anna, qne of the : most colorful characters ever pro- ■ duced in Mexico or anywhere • else. He was a soldier who could ! write communiques with such ■ consummate skill that his defeats i always turned out to be victor- , ies. He lost a leg in action and • for years the Mexicans reverently preserved his leg in an urn. ! He was the boss man of Mexi ico for almost two decades. > On Feb. 23, 1836, Santa Anna marched a Mexican army up to a mission in San Antonio known ■ as the Alamo. Texas, then a part ’ of Mexico, was making noises like i it wanted independence and San- ’ ta Anna had come to give the • Texans a lesson in discipline. He • overwhelmed and massacred the t small garrison and among those 1 who perished was Davy Crockett, t A month later he surrounded 371 • Texans at Goliad and massacred ■ them after they surrendered. On April 21. Santa Anna and his army encamped at San Jacinto and the general retired • from the noonday heat for a sies- ■ ta. He was rudely awakened by a > shout of “remember the Alamo” ■ from 800 Texas throats and short- ■ ly afterward Santa Anna suren- ■ dered to Sam Houston. Texas ■ won its independence,, but the U.S. f and Mexico sooii were at each • other’s throats again. ; Border Trouble Erupts 1 In 1846 a dispute broke out ov- ! er the border between Texas and ; Mexico and President Polk ordered Gen. Zachary Taylor to > seize the disputed land. Taylor’s . army menaced Mexico from the 1 Rio Grande and Gen. Winfield j Scott headed another American ■ army that seized Vera Cruz and - eventually Mexico —City. Among ; the US. officers who sharpened ; the tools of their trade in this i war in preparation for bigger : things to come were Capt. Robert ; E. Lee and Lieut. U.S. Grant. The net result of the fighting was one of the most lop-sided i real estate deals since the Indians f sold Manhattan Island for $23. In I return , for sls million, Mexico i ceded to the United States what •■ is now California, Arizona, New ;. Mexico, Nevada, Utah and part ' of Colorado. The next brush between the two nations occurred in 1914 ' whea some American sailors were arrested in Tampico. American ■ Marines landed at Vera Cruz to ■ stabilize the situation and 19 of i them were killed by.snipers. Mexican politics were in chaos and President Woodrow Wilson de- ; nounced the nation for “govern-

ment by assassination.” Among those who paid small heed to such | words was Pancho Villa who had i raised a revolt in northern Mexico and one day decided to replenish his supplies in a raid across the border to Columbus, N.M., where he killed 17 Americans. Villa’s Waterloo Wilson ordered 12,000 American troops to run Villa down and placed them under the command of an officer named John J. Pershing. Villa proved to be an elusive fellow and Pershing never got him, but he did get enough publicity to become the logical man to command the American Expeditionary Force when America entered World War I. Villa got a dose of his own medicine. An expert in ambush, he himself was fatally ambushed by some Mexicans in 1923. The diplomats finally settled the dispute and things went along comparatively calmly between the two nations until 1938. Foreign firms had invested heavily in Mexico, especially in 'oil. At the urging of the oil workers’ union, President Lazaro Cardenas seized the foreign holdings on March 18, 1938, including property of Standard of Indiana, Royal Shell and Sinclair. Hitler had just invaded Austria and the American government was preoccupied with ■ matters unconnected with oil rights. In addition, Franklin D. Roosevelt was at a stage in his presidency where the woes of big businessmen sometimes failed to, move him to tears. Eventually an i indemnity schedule was worked out and the oil companies were compensated by the Mexican government. The nationalized Mexican oil industry now is. known as Pemex.
