Views of j Congress j By Dr. A. L. Miller, j M. C. I have completed my first six months as a member of Congress As a result of this experience, I have gained a few impressions that may be of interest to the folks at home. In general, I would say that the controversy that has developed between the administrative and legislative branches of the gov ernment this year is due to the fact that since 1936 Congress has written so many blank checks payable to the President and has passed so many laws in general terms that when the 78th Con gress met it found the Adminis trative branch has practically tak en over the functions of legisla tion. This it has exerted in the form of executive orders and di rectives originating in the over whelming bureaucracy that has been set up as a result of these general laws and blank checks. Congress has been trying, this year, to resume its function and put brakes on the bureaucracy, and in doing so has run into the ) opposition of the President. This has caused some fireworks but it looks that even with Congress in recess there will be plenty of fire works in the battles raging be tween the various branches of the Notice DR. A. E.

The j President, with his military and 1 naxfol Staffs, has organized and i brought to bear on our many , fronts a fighting power that is i winning on every one of them. We still have a long way to go, but we cannot help but feel that victory is now only a matter of time. As for the actual functioning of the Congress, it seems at first that it moves too slowly, but with 435 members in the House and 96 members in the Senate it can not move much faster. Because of this, most of the work is done within the committees. The chair man of committees, who attains the position by the rule of senior ity, is very powerful. If he wants to be arbitrary he can almost dic tate what bills will be reported out for action by the Congress. Thus it is difficult for a new mem ber to have much influence on legislation, because he becomes the low ranking member on the committee. The two most powerful com mittees, Ways and Means, and the Rules Committee, dominate the action of the House. Their mem bership is made up of men who have been in Congress a long time. It is interesting to note that al though, in the original price con trol act Congress specifically plac ed the right to control farm prices in the hands of the Department 1 of Agriculture, the plan for roll ing back food prices by a subsidy to be paid to processors was hatched and announced by a 27 year-old lawyer, assistant to the Economic Stabalizer, with no ex perience in such things, without bothering to consult with the De partment of Agriculture or the Food Administrator. And, then, when the! Food Administrator op posed the policy of subsidies the President fired him. The greatest complaint Con gress has is that administrative agencies, manned by inexperienc ed so-called economists with no responsibility to the people, con stantly make policies without consultation with persons experi enced in the fields over which they control. That an overwhelming majority of the House is opposed to the subsidy plan is shown by the fact that the vote to over-ride the veto was 228 to 154. To make the will of Congress more effective. Hat ton .Summers, democrat, of Texas, and chairman of the powerful Ju diciary Committee in the House, has introduced a bill for a consti tutional amendment to permit the Congress to over-ride presidential veto by a majority vote in each House. The ratio we gave last week— four federal employees to every state employee in Nebraska — holds true for every state in the union. Truly, federal bureaucracy runs wild in this country!
