PAGE EIGHT BLYTHEVrLIJ? (ARK.V COURIER NEWS SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1949 THE NATION TODAY House Members Finally Muster Courage to Shelve Fantastic Pension Bill Offered by Rankin By Jjunn Marlow WASHINGTON, Marcli 26. The veterans' pension bill seems for this year, buried by Ihe House. 11 had a dizzy lunctal, one of Hie ftrangest. Thinking or the veterans when election comes around, House apporached the bill like a man examining IMC teeth bt a lion. One of then), unabashed, told ncwiinen ironically.

"TJiis is where I rise above the principle and vote political." But another, less gay about vot-t Ing for something he didn't believe In, told reporters: "It isn't a question of whether I'm for or against the bill, but whether I want to ge re-elected. So I'll have to vote for It." In the end. he voled against It. 60 did majority of the congressmen but It took them tlirce days Capitol of Europe? cned out. Otherwise, wouldn't have known what we were voting for." After watching the truck roil over his baby, nankin said: "That kills this legislation (or tills Congress." to take that step.

The finally did it by tormenting and disfiguring the bill till its own father wouldn't know It. In this case the father was Rep John Rankin, Mississippi Democrat, little man with a bright tie and perpendicular white Rankin, a veteran of World War peppery at 67. His bill nould have given veterans of World Wars I and II a pension of $90 a month when they reached 65, whether or not they needed the money. Cost Would Be Prohibitive If the bill ever became law, government officials had warned, it would cost the country 000 In 50 years. And, thinking of the big debt the country nas already, President Tru man and his leaden In Congress didn't want It.

Right from the first, It seems, the House members didn't want It either but In the beginning they didn't want to say so publicly where their name and their'vote against It would be on record. Almost Immediately when the bll up Tuesday a majority of the House voted to kill it. But till was in the kind of vote where their vote was listed by not fie me. But, almost as fast, when the; were called upon to vote by name they voted against killing (he bill Iri three days they changed Ihel Vote five times. "On the second day they begai to beat the bill out of shape voting changes In it, right on Hi tloor.

By the time they wer through that second day practlcall no one knew what had been vote Into It. the while the House had lice roundly lambasted In the press fo Its tactics. And Thursday.

'Cartoonist Gels Results His drawing showed a monstrous man, labeled "House of Rep- I resentatlves." bending over while! a "congressional medal" was pjiued on the seat ol his punts by a slaphappy character called "pension grab." The medal read: "For unusual running, dodging and reversing without regard for the call of the duty." And yesterday the House came back and by one to killed the bill.

Not outright. The House voted to "send tt back to committee." That's something like sending a body to the graveyard. When the House'votes to send a back to committee the measure almost never comes on the floor for a vote. In this case it was sent back to Rankin's committee which had prepared the bill In the first place. Any congressman who's questioned" about it, can always honestly say: "I didn't vote to kill the bill.

Coppedge, Floyd Rechtin. headers' Views Editor Courier News: Much criticism, verv little If any oiislructlve, has been aimed al le Arkansas legislature during its session. After talking to a nuni- cr of people connected In ony way another with our state govern- entj a plan lias bem conceived. The one body system has been pcratcd successfully In the state of Nebraska for a number of years nd is under consideration in several ilher states at this time. I believe that Arkansas could real- a more efficient legislature it Ills plan were put into operation.

one hou.se could consist of 47 nembers, elected afler the 1950 census. Their salaries should be increased to around Many legislators liave complained hat due to the lack of time they are nimble to make a thorough and accurate study of legislation pre- sentpd to them. Msny of our more important measures are not introduced until the las'. 10 days oi the 60 day session. Why not change the dale of the meeting? Instead ol meeting on the second Monday In January, change it to the first Monday in February.

This will give the governor an opportunity to familiarize himself with nis office and the problems that confront him the legislature. The legislature would meet for 30 days in which time all legislation should be ill troduccd. appointments considered and organizational routines settled Then the legislators would go home for 30 days. This would afford them an opportunity to discuss legislation their constituents and give them time to study appropriations nd consult with educational heads c. The last 30 days, In the month April, would be devoted to posed legislation.

The plan, I believe, would be of much benefit to the people of tile state of Arkansas and go a long way toward giving them a more efficient state government. Frank Swilling, Little Rock, Axle.
