PAGE SIX THE JOTTBNAL, PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA THURSDAY, FEERUARY 24, 194.4 Washington Report By Howard Buffett Visitors to Washington usually en joy watching the routine of congress from the galleries of the house or senate. For many the daily session of congress is a surprise or shock similar to that which they received when they learned as children that there was no Santa Claus. Routine meetings of congress seen somewhat lackadaisical and are often poorly attended by the members. Most of the Lard work of congress is done off the floor in committees and confer ences. B Congressional action on a hotly fought issue, such as the problem of what kind of a ballot shall go to the soldiers, is exciting. Administra tion leaders keep in close touch with with the White House through the phones in the Speaker's room. Mem bers are called from the floor and subjected to political demands from high-ranking political leaders. Cur rently, high-pressure tactics seem to have lost most of their potency. B When the long-established rules of the house give preliminary advan tage to one side of a question, the ether Sid- wants the rules changed in the interest of "fair play." If the position is reversed, the same people demand legislation in accordance with the regular rules, with no sub stitutes. Human nature does not change much. B When the members on one side see they are licked in point of num bers, they often start stalling and filibustering for time. Of course, they never admit they are stalling they piously plead for delay "in the interest of careful and considered legislation." On the soldiers' vote issue, the administration was pub licly calling for action; behind the Fcenes, the administration leaders in the house, Kayburn and McCormack, blocked action for many weeks. B Just as the unsuccessful marriage is the case that gets into the news papers, so it is v. ith the affairs of congress. Thy fact that divorces take place is not an argument to belittle the family as a base of civilized life. -Neither should the occasional error of an individual congressman, or even the majority of congress, blind the people to the fact that congress ic the rock on which freedom rests. Commentators or officials belittling or slyly undermining the institu tion of congress are enemies of hu man liberty. B Greece perished because she fail ed to solve the rroblem of Empire vs. Freedom. When Secretary Ickes proposes that the United States gov ernment build and defend oil pipe lines thousands of miles away, America stras to be facing the same 1-roblem. Many feel that the Ameri can people have lost control over their government. That conviction explains much of the reluctance to ward the proposed super-government of the world. E The thinking people who are striv ing for permanent peace through aw international organization must find the answer to this danger. The American people are being "pushed around' by a swarm of officials whom as yet they have been unable to remove. If the common people cannot protect themselves from tyr anny from their home government, how can they protect themselves figainst the same menace from an all-powerful, faraway international super-slate Lutheran church of Eight Mile Grove, was in Murray on Monday to look after some matters of busi ness.
