Washington Report from CONGRESSMAN JOHN T. MYERS
Two important messages from the White House and organization of the 20 standing House Committees dominated activity on Capitol Hill last week as the 90th Congress gets ready to study the many legislative proposals for meeting the nation’s problems. The House leadership named your Representative to two important Committees, an unusual Scouts Salute Parental Care NEW YORK UPI — What’s the greatest thing a parent can do for a son ? Start him off with a silver spoon, get him all the baby shots, teach him to walk and talk? Buy him his own television, raise his pin money at every stage of life to assure his ability to buy creature comforts? Let him have his own way when he tells you your standards and ideas are old fashioned and that he will be laughed at by the crowd if he follows your suggestions? None of these things, considered “duties” by some contemporary parents, appear in an inventory of “greatest” things top Boy Scouts think their parents did for them. - The select 14 young men, leaders as teen-agers and on their way to front ranks of their generation, salute their parents for such things as love, faith in God, setting standards, holding up ideals, teaching right from wrong, impresrrivg the futility of lowering standards to stay with the crowd. Ronald H. Boggs, of Carlisle Barracks, Pa^ was one of the scouts who named love as the greatest gift from his parents in replying to a questionnaire from United Press Internation-
al.
‘This is necessary and often found lacking,” he said. “The degree to which love is shown is indicative of its intensity.” Trust is the greatest parental gift, according to Donald Brace, Athol, Mass. “They didn’t announce one night-‘Donald, we trust you,’ but they conveyed a feeling of trust in me through their own actions over the years of my childhood,” he said. Gerald E. Belle, Seattle, Wash., feels that faith in God is the greatest gift from his parents. Why? “Because it gave my life purpose,” he said. David J. Kuter, Fond du Lac, Wis., thanks his parents for teaching him to be honest and responsible. He said they did the teaching by leading this kind of life themselves. 'T say this,” he said, “be cause I feel that these basic moral beliefs are the backbone of all life and a foundation for living.” Donald M. Larsen, Ames, Iowa, considers standards the greatest gift his parents have given him. "A person Is socialized in his home life more than anywhere else. If the parents set good examples and good rules a child has jumped over one of the biggest stumbling block- in his life,” Larsen said.
More children are hospitalized for birth defects than for all infectious diseases combined, says the National FoundationMarch of Dimes.
honor for a freshman member. Considering my farming background and sincere interest in improving the farm economy, I accepted an appointment to the Agriculture Committee which handles all Federal legislation affecting the agricultural community. It seems apparent the Administration places a very low priority on the nation’s agriculture. We need fresh ideas to build a strong farm economy. The Government Operations Committee is the second assignment for your Congressman. The Committee handles budget and accounting matters, bills affecting reorganization of the executive branch and checks economy and efficiency in the operation of government at all
levels.
This assignment is particularly important at this point in history with the swing of power away from Congress to the executive. The interest of good government demands that we members of the minority carry on a determined, persistent and independent examination into the manner in which the executive branch is carrying out the legislative mandates of the Con-
gress.
Social Security — President Johnson has asked Congress to raise Social Security benefits by 15 to 59 per cent and at the same time asked for an increase in the Social Security tax to pay for the larger monthly paychecks. The President’s plan will more than double the amount each person pays the government each year by 1974. The minority proposal for an eight per cent increase in benefits falls within the framework of available financing without increase in taxes. Now might be a good time to look at the whole system with an eye to improvements. It is my firm belief the Social Security system should be divorced from political action and any increases should be based on the cost of living index. This Is the only sensible way to protect the older citizens of our nation who depend on Social Security for their only means of support President’s Budget—Congress has before it the President’s request for a federal budget of $172.4 billion for fiscal 1968, geared toward an indefinite war in Vietnam and continuation of Great Society programs here at home. To finance the President’s budget 64 million taxpayers will be required to pay six per cent more than they are now paying. The 1968 federal budget at a glance: Outlay—$172.4 billion, up $11.5 billion from the current year. Income, if the Congress acts favorably in the President’s request for increased taxes, will b e $168.1 billion leaving a deficit of $4.3 billion with the tax boosts. A great many Americans in both parties question the wisdom of a policy which justifies the expenditures of large sums of money for certain domestic and foreign programs while we are involved in the Vietnam conflict. We will examine carefully spending In both foreign and domestic programs. A tax increase should follow only after an exhaustive effort to reduce and eliminate unnecessary or unimportant expenditures.

NEW YORK UPI —Bache A Co. saya the renewed enthusiasm spurred by Chase Manhattan’s prime rate reduction seems capable of carrying the list into higher ground but it is obvious the current overbought condition of the list must fr.ee a correction period shortly. The company feels, however, the power of the January rise cannot be overlooked and indicates
growing ■ Investor confidence that salutary governmental measures will serve to stimulate the legging private sector of the economy.
Newton D. Binder of E.F. Hutton says to judge statistic t, it would seem the current advance has not yet run its course. The analyst points out that odd-lotters, or small investors, usually sell wh'~ the market is about to advance and vice-versa. And in recent sessions the “little man” has been a seller, Binder says.
Sylvan Epstein of Thomson A McKinnon says recent sideways action of the market has
cleared up part ef the list's overbought condition. The analyst believes a reaction is not yet at hsnd and it is likely a new recovery high will be reached before any real downside test begins.
Shopper's Guide The following guide to the nation’s food shopping buys for the coming weekend was prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Interior for United Press International.
WASHINGTON UPI —The first weekend of February
brings ft generally good selection of meat and poultry along with the seasonal bounty of fresh citrus for the family food shopper. Fresh produce counters once again feature plenty of fresh oranges, grapefruit and apples. Vegetable choices include cabbage, carrots, celery, potatoes and tomatoes. At meat counters, shoppers will find good supplies of beef chuck along with other roasts and steaks. Pork is plentiful most everywhere with chops, roasts and hams featured widely. Additionally, broiler-fryers and turkeys offer good bargains in main dish fare. There are plenty of eggs for
breakfast, lunch* and snacks. Tbps in fish buys across the nation is canned salmon, an economical protein choice.
