As Washington Sees It.
IKE NATIONAL SCENE
Special to The Chronicle.
Washington, June 1—Lobbying in
the 81st congress has reached a new
high, or a new low. depending upon
your viewpoint ... in numbers reg
istered. amount spent and tactics
employed to influence legislation.
According to a compilation of ex
penses or expenditures thus far.
lobbyists have spent or have at least
reported expenditures of $2,182,329
from 264 groups, according to Con-
gressibnal Quarterly, a non-partisan
and accurate reporting service. This
is an all-time record.
As a result, the house nas passed
a bill calling for a joint committee of
congress to probe the lobbyists. The
measure is pending in the senate and
likely will pass. Objective is two
fold. according to observers here—to
obtain information on how to
strengthen the rather loosely drawn
lobbying law, passed in 1946, and to
learn. whether or not the lobbyists
are violating the law.
Many new gimmicks are being
used to call the attention of Congress
to the pet measures of the lobbyists.
For instance, the National* Tax Eq
uality association is circulating phony
dollar bills called a “tax-free buck”
to call attention of congress to the
tax exemption features of farm co
operatives. The Property Owners’
association used cartoons to fight
the rent control law. Merchant Ma
rine veterans seeking draft exemp
tion for seamen sent printed paper
bags urging congress not to leave
them “holding the bag.” Even the
American Library association used a
Graham Hunter cartoon reprinted
from the “Southern Agriculturalist,"
urging federal funds to buy more
bookmobiles.
There was a lobby investigation in
1941 led by Sen. Joseph C. O’Ma
honey of Wyoming, chairman of the
temporary national economic com
mittee which drafted recommenda
tions. some of -which were incorpor
ated in the anti-lobby law. The last
big probe of lobbying was made by
Sen. Hugo Black of Alabama, now
Supreme Court Justice, in 1935 to
1938 Senator Black’s committee was
appropriated $62,500 for it« probe
during consideration of the Ihiblic
Utility Holding Company act of 1935.
The investigation revealed that more
than $1,500,000 was spent on a com-
paign to defeat the act.
According to information here, the
department of commerce, under Sec
retary Charles Sawyer, is go.ng to
bat for the small business man and
will go to bat for him before the
senate committee hearing evidence
on price spreads of farm produce.
The department is conducting • se
nes of surveys, including freight
shipments—one involving shipments
of paper to small town newspapers.
According to results of some of these
surveys, the farmer and the small
town business man have tile same
idea about what is in store in the
immediate future Both are cautious.
The farmer is buying only what he
has to buy and the businessman is
stocking only what he has to stock
to keep up with his trade, both ex
pecting price drops. Where the farm
er gets squeezed, however, according
to the survey, is that price of farm
produce is dropping faster than
prices of things he buys.
Probably the best indication of
the trend is that prices of farm land
are falling, there is little land mov
ing, but the general concensus is
that when the leveliing-off period
come*, conditions in the rural areas
and home towns will be generally’
healthier, economically.
As this is written, the economy
drive started by Sen. Robert A. Taft
of Ohio with some Democratic sup
port headed by Sen. Harry Byrd of
Virginia has been stalled. After suc
ceeding in recommitting several ap
propriation measures for a horizon
tal five per cent cut, the senate re
versed itself' and brought the bills
back by a close vote. So to date,
there is an increase in appropriation
measures in the senate over the
amounts which came fro m the
house. Some Democrats, according 1
to observers here, feel that too dras-i
tic economy might cause more po
litical reverberations in 1950 than
over-spending or the tight budget
as it is now set up. Rather than
slash domestic expenditures, the cuts
may come in the authorized expen
ditures for ECA and other author
ized appropriations for foreign ex
penditures.
Then, these observers say, at this
time there is a psychological aspect
to the national economy which must
be seriously considered. They con
tend that any drastic slash in gov
ernmental expenditures on the do
mestic front at this time, might start
cuts all along the line and really
touch off a depression. For instance,
the lopping off of 8,008 employees in
the Veterans’ administration, coming;
just when it did, observers say, had
a bad psychological effect upon un- 1
employment generally.
