Not until next year will the force* *( fiscal sanity and the share America international ists engage in political struggle on Capitol Hill Now Is the time to re view the record and look to the fu ture. The record shows that things were not nearly as bad this session as responsible citizens feared when the 86th congress convened. The 1958 elections had knocked out some of the best known conservatives In the Senate. The House of Repesenrta- lives included a large group of Congressmen who had been elected ITS TIME TO CHICK YOUR PRINTINC NEEDS About this*time of the year we have many calls for rush printing orders.

In all >ut one instance, the public works )ill, the President’s will prevailed. In that case, the passion for a fed eral handout gripped political rep resentatives and communities over the nation. The big achivement of the session was the labor reform bill. Though far from being the real answer to the tyranny of union bosses over working men, it is a good start to ward full fledged labor reform. The fact that it was put across over the opposition of the Reutherites in Con gress is a cheering comment on our times. Other good news of the session in cludes the unwillingness of the Con gress to embark on a federal aid to education program and aid to de pressed areas—a form of welfare for cities that aren't tackling their own problems. Southerners can take satisfaction in the fact that their states weren’t) subjected to punitive ‘‘civil righta” legislation. But trouble on that score lies ahead when Congress convenes next year. Very discouraging to responsible citizens was the unwillingness of Congress to pass legislation curbing the Supreme * Court. Though the court has been playing cagey re cently, apparently realizing the ex- : tent of public indignation, the need ; for court cubs is just as great as ever. Nor did Congress do anything , efefctive to halt the flood of foreign j aid that puts a burden on every tax- ! payer. In short, the session could have i been much worse.

Congressman Downing claims 11 cents put of every dollar paid in income taxes goes for interest on the debt, making this item sec ond only to national defense in the national budget. * a a The interest charges are also bound to go np, as witnessed by the government’s difficulty In making any more law cost loans.
