Congressiornl Predictions _ Privately, leaders agree that the second session of the 8lst Congress will set no records for productivity or progressive legislatlon. It will be a cautious session, with both parties playing politics up to the hilt and striving to keep their skirts clean for the November el- ection. There will be a lot of shouting ahout civil rights—with an eye on November—but nothing enacted in- fo” law except, possibly, the anti- poll tax bill. This has already pass- ed the House and needs only Sen- ate approval. _The Fair Employment Practices Bill, hottest of the civil-rights mea- gures, also will pass the House, but Senate foes are prepared to fili- buster it to death. Thus, northern Democrats can boast in the next campaign that they were able to get this hot potato through one HMouse of Congress, while southern Democrats can boast about killing it in the other. The Republicans are strictly in the middle on this one and can be counted on to outyell the Democrats in the losing fight for civil-rights legislation. However, they are not willing to revise cloture to back gp their yells. Here's the outlook | @R° other major issues: =Federal Aid To Education—Al- ready passed by the Senate, th hot potato will be révamped in the House to meet Catholic ob- Jjections. One concession will be an amendment providing bus trans- _ portation for parochial as well as school students. Taxes—The House will pass leg- ilation increasing either corporate income taxes or taxing excess prof- its, but Senator George of Georgia is a member. and other business-minded col- leagues will put up a stiff battle }against this in the Senate, [ ' Social Secruity—The Social Se- ]cumy expanision bill, already pass- ied by the Hoi will pass the Senate in son hat similar form, with few, if any, of its “liberaliza- tion” teeth pulled. 1 Taft-Hartley Repeal — Not ai jchance, despite White House de-‘ {mands for action. Congressional Democrats want to save this one for an election issue to use against | Republicans. Senate and House De- | imocratic leaders will do some shad- | low boxing for the newspapers, but that's all. | The Brannan Farm Plan—No| chance. Republicans are almost sol- | idly against it and the Democrats | jare badly split. Meanwhile farm| incomes continue to skid. i Foreign Aid—Some form of Pre- |sident Truman's aid-for-backward nations (or -point 4) program will| pass, but look for a backward shift | to isolationism on Marshall Plan| spending. With income-tax boost isidetracked and excise taxes re- pealed, Congress will have to look elsewhere for money to balance the budget and the likeliest spot will be the European Aid Program. It! will be cut a billion. | Oleo Tax Repeal — Will pass, though modified to provide t colored oleo sold in motels and res- taurants must be so labeled. Other issues—The important Na- | tional Science Foundation bill, to coordinate and expand scientific research, will at long last become law. However, the crystal ball for the second session of the 8lst Congress holds little hope for pub- lic power and health insurance en- thusiasts. Neither the Columbia Valley nor the Missouri Valley “TVA” bills stand a chance of en- actment. The Federal Health In- surance Bill, savagely fought by the American Medical Association, ixs in the same boat. \ Probing The Lobbyists Hard-hitting Representative Frank ‘Buchanan of Pennsylvania, Chair- man of the House Lobby Investi- gating Committee, has ordered his staff to pull no punches in prob- ! ing the big pressure groups which operate on Capitol Hill “Leave your whitewash brushes at home,” Buchanan bluntly told!| assistants. “In this investigation we're not going to protect anybody but the American people.” One big outfit that will receive some careful attention is the real estate lobby, which will wage a vigorous drive during this session to block the extension of rent con- | trols. This is the same lobby that tried to sabotage public housing in the Banking and Currency Committee, jof which Congressman Buchanan SCHWINN BIKES AT MADSEN’ THESE DAYS THE HALF-CENTURY YEAR—VII In 1900, no one questioned the ownership of colonies. It was taken for granted that the sun never set on the Union Jack. France, .Hol- land, Belgium and Portugal pos- sessed lands in various parts of the globe. The Italians tried to build an empire but came into this picture a little late. The fact that Germany also arrived too late was one of the principal causes of World War I and World War II “Lebensraum,” they called it. The Russians had also built an empire, but it was different from that of the western Europeans; it was a contiguous empire, each piece of it lying close to the other. It was like a snowball rolling in all directions, picking up size and weight as it rolled eastward. To a warm-water port on the Pacific; westward into Europe; southward toward the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf. This vast colonial power included numerous races, peoples, religions and it was held together by police force, Great Britain’s empire was very different. First of all it was scat- tered over the face of the earth. Secondly, it was so varied in form THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA 20 YEARS AGO 7% THE EMPIRE JANUARY 4, 1930 L] JANUARY 4 .
