REVIEW OF U. S. SENATE
ACTION
With the Senate in recess this
•week, I would like to briefly re
view what has actually transpir
ed in the Senate during the first
three months of 1959. The Senate
was actually in session on 38 days
during this period. Of course, my
office is open six days a week and
there are committee and subcom-
jnittee meetings and special hear
ings in the Senate all week long.
During the early months of the
year, these committee meetings
are time-consuming but most im
portant in preparing bills to be
presented to the entire member
ship of the Senate. The major
bills which have been presented co
the Senate to date, and my posi
tion on each, are as follows:
1. There were several motions
to change the senate rules, making
it easier to limit debate in the Se
nate. I opposed all of these changes
which would enable groups hos
tile to the South to pass legisla
tion without full discussion. The
least-obnoxious of three motions,
one which provides for end of de
bate by an affirmative vote of
two-thirds of the Senators present
and voting was passed.
2. An omnibus housing bill,
which will result in U. S. taxpay
ers assuming liability for appro
ximately $84 billion over the next
40 years, passed the Senate in
spite of my strong opposition. We
cannot afford a wild spending-
spree for public housing, and even
if we could, we do not need this
much housing. The urban renewal
feature of this bill is also bad, per
mitting the government to have
a free hand in condemning areas,
razing them and then selling these
areas at a loss to private contract
ors. I did succeed in getting a pro
vision taken from this till which
would have opened the door for
integrated housing. The House has
not voted on this bill yet. and I
hope that either it will not pass
this legislation or that the Presi
dent will veto the bill.
3. The Federal Airport Act Ex
tension as passed by the Senate
would give the Federal Aviation
Agency $100 million per year for
four years and a special fund of
$63 million to spend in assisting
States and communities in build
ing airport facilities. This is $37
million a year more than General
Quesada, chairman of the Aviation
Agency, feels he needs or can use.
As a result, I opposed this added
extravagance, though it did pass
the Senate.
4. Extension of the draft is de
clared imperative by all our mili
tary leaders. I supported a contin
uation of the Draft for another
four years. This extension passed
the Senate and the House.
5. Hawaiian statehood was fa
vored by most Senators, but I op
posed admitting Hawaii as a state
for many reasons—its location
more than 2,000 miles from the
American continent, a population
which is 75 per cent Japanese,
Chinese, Filipino and Polynesian,
and which has traditions and cul
ture very much different from
those of the people in our other
states. The glamour of Hawaii was
too much however, and statehood
is assured for these South Pacific-
islands.
6. Area redevelopment, which
will authorize bureaucrats to sub
sidize industry in areas which have
been found unprofitable by the
leaders of industry, passed the Se
nate by a narrow margin, in spite
of our strong opposition. This is
a $389 million program which will
not benefit the South in any way.
In fact, it will help other sections
of the nation to court industry
away from the South, with the aid
of Federal subsidies. I hope the
President will veto this bill if it
passes the House.
As you can tell from this brief
summary the spenders are having
another field day in the Senate.
After the recess many additional
major issues will lie brought be
fore our group for discussion. I
sincerely hope that more reason
than has been shown to date will
prevail.

THE NEWBERRY SUN
Straight Talk
By TOM ANDERSON
(Farm and Ranch Magazine)
Does America need saving ? Or
—a better question—can it be sav
ed? The United States of America
is fast becoming the Unionized So
cialist State of America. A leading
Senator told me recently that the
best guess in Washington seems to
be that we’ll have 100% Socialism
and a 10-cent dollar in 25 years.
The Federal Government has be
come—not a union of sovereign
states—but a monster which has
become so powerful, so complex,
and so big that it is beyond com
prehension — and maybe beyond
control—of the people. Unless the
people rebel soon—and I don’t use
the word lightly or loosely—I be
lieve our nation is headed for
bankruptcy, defeat and destruc
tion. Many Americans are too
prosperous, too selfish, and too
apathetic to concern themselves
with anything except today. Oth
ers realize what is happening, but
they’ve been seduced and are just
relaxing and enjoying it. We’ll
never be saved by the country club
set. They’re more interested in
golf and gin rummy. We won’t
be saved by the school teachers
and “intellectuals.” Too many of
them can’t make the money they
think they’re entitled to under a
supply-and-demand system. We
can’t depend on businessmen.
They’re too busy selling soap to
save America. And don’t want to
jeopardize soap sales by engaging
in anything “controversial.”
In 1960 there is no chance of
getting a Republican or Democrat
ic nominee who is by mentality,
experience or spiritual quality
worthy of being President of the
United States.
Nelson Rockefeller, the Republi
can Roosevelt, now appears the
most likely nominee for president.
Rockefeller is not merely a rich
politician, but a dedicated one-
worlder. Averell Harriman, the
New Deal opponent whom he re
cently defeated for the governor
ship of New York, said of Rocke
feller: “ If he (Rockefeller) goes
forward with the New Deal pro
gram and philosophy which he
voiced in the campaign, he will get
vigorous Democratic support in
Albany. He has espoused the cause
of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Truman.”
And, I will add, Mr. Norman Thom
as.
“Rock” and Your Roll
Rockefeller vs. Stevenson, or
Symington, or Kennedy. That’s not
a two-party system. That’s a one-
party system. Rockefeller vs.
Stevenson would be a primary elec
tion to determine the candidate of
the Socialist-Labor-Internationalist
party. Tweedledum and Tweedle-
dee. No issues. Millions vs. mil
lions. Glamor boy vs. glamor boy.
Which twin has the Toni? Which
can eat the most pizza pies?
Many fellow-millionaires are in
Rockefeller’s corner because this
inflationary prosperity has been
good to them—why rock the boat?
Some big business make many of
their millions selling products to
the government to give away to
foreigners, and “The Rock” shapes
up as the coming all-time give
away champ.
Battling for the 1960 nomina
tion, wil Nixon emerge as a con
servative or a liberal ? Whatever
it takes to get the nomination —
that’s what Tricky Dicky will em-

The Democratic party is no long
er the South’s party. It belongs
to the AFL-CIO and the socialistic
Americans for Democratic Action.
The Republican party belongs to
the undertaker. The body should
go unclaimed.
Democratic Chairman Paul But
ler has recently predicted that in
1960 the party would adopt its
most “liberal” platform yet nomi
nate a candidate the South would
refuse to support; and mat me
South would walk out. The time
to walk out is now! Stay in and
change it? That’s like trying to
make a lady out of Liz Taylor—
it’s too late now!
Changing from Eisenhower to
Nixon, Rockefeller, Symington, or
Kennedy is like leaving the soiled
diaper on the baby and just chang
ing the safety pin.
The greatest enemy of man is,
was, and always has been, govern
ment. And the bigger the govern
ment the bigger the enemy.
Creeping Stupidity
Less government and more re
sponsibility means more human
happiness. Some say our economic
life is so complex that all these
controls are necessary. Exactly vhe
opposite is true. General Eisen
hower, our President, has said that
he may have to put controls on
everything—just like wartime—to
stop creeping inflation. That
would be creeping stupidity. If he
does so, except in case of hot war,
he should be impeached. The con
trols should be not on the people,
but on the President, the Congress,
the bureaucrats, and the unions.
Forcing a lid on a boiling kettle
doesn’t prevent the explosion. It
causes it. The way to keep the lid
on top is to take the fire off the
bottom. Government is not pre
venting inflation but causing it.
The President, the Administration,
the Congress lack the courage to
stop inflation. They haven’t the
guts to end union racketeering, un
necessary government projects,
activities, workers, and waste. The
great majority of them should be
fired.
Only Americans Can Defeat
America
We now have government by
misrepresentation, a government
which has discarded the Constitu
tion, usurped the sovereignty of
the states, robbed the people of
their material wealth and their
freedom, given away our substance
to the world without end, and left
us subject to defeat by a foreign
power. The Socialists must be ov
erthrown by ballots of the people
or eventually the people will be
overthrown by bullets of the gov
ernment.
Nations are never conquered
from outside unless they are rot
ten inside.
If we are going to save the na
tion, we must save it on a Tues
day—voting day. But politics is
an all-year job. We can’t save the
nation on any Tuesday unless we
work the year around. Never
again vote for the lesser of two
evils. Vote for somebody you want
even if you have to write-in a
name. Vote for principles, not per
sonalities. Vote for integrity, not
sex-appeal. Vote for what’s in the
candidate’s record, not what’s in
his ghost-written speeches, for
what he does, not what he says.
Third party- Certainly we need
a third party. But we need more
than that. We need a grassroots
uprising. We need a spiritual re
birth.
