TUi Wook’t • • • • • Washington Story By San. Wm. E. Jattbar

by Cong. Charles B. Brownson Washington, May 29 (Special)— A considerable amount of heat and the usually small amount of light has been generated recently as a result of the House of Representatives’ action on the bill to liberalize old-age benefits. Most of the members of Congress agree that something should be done to improve the benefits in several ways. But there naturally is some controversy on just what the improvements should be. In the regular way of doing business in the Housed it is possible to amend a bill on the floor to remove defects and to improve

it generally. But, Chairman Doughton of the House Committee on Ways and Means didn’t bring H.R. 7800, the social security bill, to the floor in the usual manner. Instead, Doughton brought it up under a motion to “suspend the rules,” which requires that a bill receive a two-thirds majority in order to pass. When the rules are suspended in this fashion, there is only 40 minutes of debate, or 20 minutes for each side. And, under the extraordinary procedure, there is no opportunity to offer any amend-

ments, or even a chance to send it back to the committee with instructions for a change. Since there were several serious flaws in HJt. 7800, the failure to obtain the two-thirds majority, necessary to pass it, is easily understandable. Now, if the Democrats are really sincere in their professed desire to be of assistance to the old people, they will send it back to the floor so that the question of increasing benefits and raising the limitation on the amount which a retired person can earn Without losing his monthly social security check.

No matter what happens on Race Day —and plenty will —there are bound to be two winners at Speedway. One will be out on the track the rugged man-and-car team that barrels in ahead of the field, symbolized in the whish of a time-honored checkered flag. The other winner at Speedway can be found just across the road the acetylene research laboratory at the

impartial observer that this is probably a vain hope. In the past, Mr. Truman and his cohorts have been content to propose grandiose, but unworkable, plans in many fields. As soon as any objection arises, the Democrats refuse to compromise, or to permit any perfecting amendments, and start labeling the honest opposition, whether it comes from Republican or Democrat ranks, as reactionary. This makes, of course, for some fine sounding speeches, but it permits precious little accomplishment. And that is precisely what the Democrat legislative program has produced in the last decade: little if anything.
