SENATOR STRO URMOND Reports PEOPLE CHALLENGE TO THE 90TH rA A ALL PREDICTIONS are for the 90th Congress to pass fewer new programs than has any Congress in recent history. Yet the challenges, responsibilities, and opportunities of the 90th Congress loom larger and more demanding than those of any recent past Congress. To meet its challenges, the new Con gress must be more self-assert ive and hard-working than it has been in recent years. INITIALLY, the 90th Con gress has a responsibility to reassert its constitutional pow ers as the policy-making branch of the National Government. Previous Congresses have in creasingly tolerated and con doned usurpation of legislative powers by both the Executive and Judicial Branches. The in itiative in proposing new legis lation has been largely surren dered to the President. THE AREAS which are cri tically in need of a reassertion of congressional authority are many. FISCAL—Despite high levels of prosperity, a rapidly expand ing economy with near full em ployment, and a gross national product reaching new highs each year, the central govern ment . continues to sink into debt. Private predictions are for a sharp increase next year over the deficit of the current fiscal year. Interest on the debt alone will soon rise to almost $14 billion annually. The fiscal ir responsibility of the National Government glares through a smoke-screen of figure-juggling which features such gimmicks as certificates of participation, concealment of total war costs, and propaganda exercises by the befense Department on its .imaginary savings programs Congress must check excessive spending by insisting on a “fis cal fitness” program of its own. NATIONAL DEFENSE—Ne glect of our Nation’s strategic defenses has reached the criti cal^ stage. Despite congression al authorization and funding, no start has been made on de ploying a defense system for the United States against bal listic missiles, although it is now ^officially acknowledged that the Soviet Union is pro ceeding rapidly with the de ployment of such a system. The United States has continued to reduce Its efforts on offensive weapons despite the increased threat comprised by an all-out Soviet effort In the strategic field and the entry of Red China Into the nuclear arena. IN VIETNAM, the United States continues to sink deeper into a ground war of attrition while refusing to use its su- • periority in air and sea power to shut off supplies to North Vietnam by closing its ports and by destroying the war making and industrial poten tial of the Communist North. GREAT SOCIETY PRO GRAMS—The Congress has an immediate responsibility to cor rect its own mistakes. In the forefront of these is the pro liferation of inefficient, over lapping, and directionless bu reaucracy spawned in large part by ill-considered programs which make up the so-called “Great Society.” The “War dh poverty,” for instance, has pre dictably turned out to be only a “skirmish” on poverty, but a full-fledged "war” on taxpay ers and workers. Now is the time for Congress to apply the remedies of review, retrench ment, rewriting, and repeal. INTERNATIONAL TRADE —Rel&xatlMM sad evaelona of reetrletloao wr trade with the communlets are working to the advantage of oar enemies, In cluding those who are now en gaged In war against us in Vietnam. Strengthening of the prohibitions against • trading with the enemy Is urgent: Re visions are also needed to pre vent use of executive authority over trade to enforce United Nation's Inter-meddling efforts In the affairs of peaceful na tions, such as Rhodesia. ^AVAILABLE TO THE CON GRESS are the necessary tools to do the job. Among the tools, are the much-neglected and un used power of the purse strings, the power of investigation and exposure and the power to re organize the executive bureau cracy and to limit' its author ities. ; WHILE THE TOOLS AND the methods are at hand, only time will tell whether the other essential ingredients—the will and determination— are avail able. i&Asvow* DEAR SALLY: I’m a young man who has been going with a very lovely girl for a num ber of months. Her one big fault is a seeming inability ever to be ready on time for our dates . . . and I moan she’s NEVER ready. When I call for her at home I sit in her living room anywhere from 30 minutes to a solid hour waiting for her to put in an appearance — and this is nerve - wracking, especial ly since no other member of her family ever sits and talks with me, and all I ever have to do is sit and stare at the walls. Is ,there anything at all I can do about this? JOE. DEAR JOE: There are three possible solutions I can think of: (1) You can bring some reading matter with you the next time you call for this girl, thus eliminating that wall-staring. (2) You can be gin Arriving about 30 minutes later than the previously-set time for the date. (3) You can have a heart-to-heart talk with the gir£rand maybe tell her that the next time you call and there’s no sign of her after about ten or fifteen min utes you’re going to leave and drive around for about thirty minutes or so before returning. This last just might stir her up a bit. DEAR SALLY: I’m, a girl of 27 and engaged to a fine .young man of the same age. A little problem has arisen be tween us . . . about my hair. Young thoughstill am, my hair is already beginning ‘to gray, and although this doesn’t bother me in the least (1 think it’s becoming^ and so do my friends),” he has been after me to' dye it. And of all things, he wants me to be a platinum blonde! What’ do you think about this? NEV ER SAY DYE. DEAR NEVER SAY DYE: It’s what YOU think about this, that counts. After all, this is YOUR hair, and if you’re happy with it as it is, ther^ stick with it.' And if your fiance doesn’t love you as you are, his kind of “love” isn’t deserving of the name. DEAR SALLY: A very good friend of t mine is expectjng her fourth child in about five months. Since she is 40 years old, and her last\preceding child is now 12 years old, I am wondering if, under these circumstances, it wo/ild be op- propriate for me to give a stork shower for her. Or is such a party reserve only for younger mothers? FRIEND. DEAR FRIEND: Certainly the shower would be “appro priate.” £nd I’m sure it would be very much appreciated, too, since it is unlikely that your friend has saved very much, if any, of her previous baby clothes and equipment this long. CROSSWORD By A. C. Gordon DEAR SALLY: I mailed a wedding gilt to the daughter of a dear friend who lives in another, city. The wedding was six \yeeks ago, and still I have not received a word of acknowledgement or thanks from the bride. Do you think it would be rude of me to write the girl a line asking if she received th gift? After all I did spend considerable time and effort in the selection of the gift, wrapping it and mail ing it — but still I dislike the idea of embarrassing the girl. MRS. B. DEAR MRS. B.: You have every right in the world to write that letter. The gift could possibly have gone as tray. But if it was received, the girl DESERVES to be “embarrassed” for her ex treme rudeness in ^failing to write you.
