Te Sessions of @ new Congress following war periods have always faced difficult readjustment problems. The ‘first session of the Eightieth Congress has proved no exception. In the pre-presidentigl elec- tion months ghead, :there will be many claims and counter-claims a8 to the merits and demerits of the momentous delibera- tions covering seven months. ’The point- with-priders and the: view-with-alarmers will all have their say. However, public law No. 162, for the establishment of the Commission ‘on: Or- ganiation of the Execytive Branch ef the Government stands out’ as a definjte Con- gressional achievement. Its declaration of Policy says: “It is hereby declared to be, the policy of Congress to promate economy, efficiency, and improve service in the transaction of the public business in the departments, bureaus, agencies, boards commissions, offices, independent estab- lishments, and instrumentalities of the ecutive branch of the government by-— 1. Limiting expenditures to the low- est amount consistent with the efficient performance of essential services, activis ties, and functions; : 2. Eliminating duplication and ‘over: lapping of services, activities, aud funce tions; 3. Consolidating services, activities, and functions of a similar nature; 4. Abolishing services, activities, and functiona not necessary to the efficient conduct of government; and 5. Defining and limiting executive functions, services, and activities. Not only is the legislation itself sound and urgently needed, but the character af the Commission is aueh to assure that its final recommendations wit alsa be sound and in the public interest. It should go a long way toward ending duplicate ac- tivities and high government costs ip the national capital. The author of this fine legiatation is Representative Clarenee J. Brown of the Seventh Ohio District. Now serving his fifth term in the House, after a distin. guished career in Ohio, he is one of the re- cognied leaders in national affairs. Our comment on his sponsorship of the legis- lation now known as Public Law No, 162 cart be summed up in five wrds— That's Public Service, Mr. Brawn! The Citizen published two stories, side by side, on the front page last Fri- day, about the prospects of large numbers of tourists coming to Key West during the 1947-’48 winter season. One story told about the naval com- mand in Key West getting ready to build a reom at the Sauthard street entrance te the Navy ¥ard for the use of a “heavy influx of tourists and visitors” during the coming seagon. The other story tells about the deci- sion of the lecat Charmber of Commerce te conduct a Key West information booth | in Miami. ly predicting the future, one must base his prediction on what has happened in the past, Of one thing we may be certain in making that prediction, and that is that Key West is better publicized new than ever before in its history. The increase in its publicity was due primarily to President Truman’s coming here twice toward the end of the last winter season. He said he would be back for a third visit, but official duties have prevented him making the third trip. How will the presidential publicity affect Key West? Residents in all parts of the United States will reason in this manner: “Qur President liked Key West so well on his first visit he returned within a few weeks, and, on his leaving the second time, said he would be back again. In view of that fact, the attractions in Key West are such they are worth while see. ing. We'll make a trip there the coming winter.” Such 3 deduetion is sound. Local naval ‘officials might have reasoned simi- larly. Whether they did or not, evidently they are of the opinion, in building the koom, that many tourists will come here next season, err A stitch in time saves embarrassing exposure. This quip has been used here before but it will be new to some readers, POWER WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY Despite all kinds of minority pres- sures, the elected representatives of the people passed the Taft-Hartley labor bill over a “political” veto in an effort to pro- vide equal treatment under the law for beth unions and employers. : It is a tradition of our American de- mocraey that we accept the will of the majority of the people, whether we, per- sonally, like it or not. Some of our labor “leaders”, however, still benumbed with dictatarial power bestowed on them for the past twelve years, are showing signs of rebellion. First, John L. Lewis forced the coal operators to include a non-penalty clause in his contract with. them, despite the fact that the new Jabor law specifically defines the responsibility of unions to carry out their part of &.contract or face a suit in the courts, The operators submitted to this imposition to avoid an industry-wide shut- down, The United Automobile Workers, CIO, executive board told ita 950 local unions that it WILL NOT confirm any new auto- motive industry contract that does not in- elude a. non-penalty clause and provision ‘for mediation machinery that would keep disputes out of the hands of the National Labor Relations Board: And they seem to have won round number One. Shortsightedness and a complete lack of labor statesmanship by many union leaders was, in a large measure, respons- oo for the enactment of the Taft-Hartley ill. The American public does not like to be disregarded by any rebellious min- ority. Josh Billings, the oldtime humorist, used ta say that when a man begins to go down hill, all creation seems greased for the oceasion. . NOBODY CONCERNED Traffic accidents took the lives of 2,- 490 Americans in the month of June, ac- cording to the National Safety Council. The present indication is that nearly 20,000 Americans will die in 1947 on ac- eouni, of medern automobile traffic. De- spite these figures the average autamobil- ist is not convinced that his, or her, life is in danger whenever journeys are made by automobile. There seems to be no noticeable pres- sure upen officials to prosecute and con- vict those guilty of carelessness in connec- tion with fatal automobile accidents. a.
