Page 18 THE DAILY HERALD Wednesday, November 12,1969 Red China Gains Votes, But Is Rejected By U.N. REPORT I From CONGRESS Roger Zion Question--Dear Congressman Zion: What happens to a bill after it is introduced in the House? R. Orleans an idea is written into bill form, it is submitted to the Chairman of the House of Representatives for consideration and study. The chairman decides to which committee the bill should be sent for study and revision. Committee action is necessary to determine whether a bill is within the law, whether it is similar to other bills, and whether it is possibly identical to legislation already on the books.

Of the thousands of bills that are introduced each session of Congress, the majority of them die in committee from lack of action. Those that survive are placed on the House Calendar and scheduled for consideration and for vote on the House Floor. If the bill does not pass the House, it is dead. If the bill passes the House, it is sent to the Senate for action. If the Senate approves it, but makes changes in the process of approval, it is necessary for the bill to be sent to a special joint committee of members of both the House of Representatives and Senate.

It is the job of this committee to rewrite the bill so it may be approved by both houses of Congress. Once the bill is passed out of the Joint Committee, it is once again voted on by each House. In most cases, a bill leaving this special committee, is approved. The bill, after being passed by Congress, is sent to the White House for consideration by the President. The President has three courses of action open to him.

He can sign the bill, therefore making it law. If he doesn't necessarily favor the bill, but feels that Congress is strongly backing it, he can allow it to sit on his desk for a period of ten days, thereby permitting it to become law without his signature. If he chooses to oppose the bill, the President may veto the bill. If he vetoes it, the bill is sent back to Congress where a two-thirds majority vote is required to overrule the President's veto. Mr.

Zion: I have two sons serving in Vietnam. I understand that under the law, both of them don't have to serve in the war at the same time. Is this true? B. Evansville. Mrs.

Yes, this is true! The government makes an allowance for cases like this in an effort to avoid the chance of multiple family tragedies. The application for reassignment must be made by one or more of the service members through his commanding officer. When more than one application is submitted, the service member with the longest Vietnam time will receive priority. Reassignment will be effected as soon as possible, but not more than 45 days from the date of application. At this time, this privilege is only afforded those servicemen serving in the Vietnam conflict.

HOUSE VOTING After two days of debate, the House late Wednesday passed legislation to close a major loophole in our banking laws. Under the House-enacted proposal, one-bank holding companies would be brought under the same regulations as their multi-bank counterparts, regulated by Congress in 1965. The present bill would forbid these institutions from conducting nonrelated banking activities such as underwriting insurance, operating travel agencies, accounting services and equipment leasing. An amendment to the bill moved the so-called date to May 9, 1956 and thus provided that one-bank institutions operating prohibited businesses after that date must divest themselves of such holdings. On Thursday the House took up a major bill designed to help relieve the nation's critical con- UNITED NATIONS (UPI) China came closer but still lost this vote on ousting Nationalist China from the United Nations and bringing in Peking representatives instead.

The General Assembly gave 48 votes to the Communist regime and 56 to the Nationalist government Tuesday, with 21 abstentions. Peking would have needed a two- thirds majority for membership. This was four more affirmative votes for Peking than it obtained last year. The 1968 resolution favoring the Communists over the Nationalists received 44 votes, with 58 opposed and 23 abstentions. Only one nation, Indonesia, did not participate in the roll.call vote in the 126-nation assembly.

The Jakarta government also was absent during last year's balloting on the question. RESOLUTION CARRIED Before the vote on membership, May Donate Blood Until Age Of 66 Americans in good health can be blood donors now until their 66 th birthday instead of the 60th or 61st as in the past, according to an announcement by Sister Mary Jerome, supportive services administrator at Memorial Hospital in Jasper. A liberalization of medical standards for blood was announced recently by the American Association of Blood Banks in Chicago and by the American National Red Cross in Washington, D.C. The two organizations together collect and process 90 per cent of the more than 6,500 pints of blood used annually for surgery and therapy in U.S. hospitals.

extension of the eligible age limit for blood donors is in recognition of two explained Dr. Frank Coleman of Tampa, president of the association. that the need for blood is constantly increasing at a rate of about 12 per cent annually. Second, that, thanks to better medical care, better nutrition and other factors, Americans are living longer and also keeping their health and vigor longer than in the past." Dr. Tibor J.

Greenwalt, medical director of the American National Red Cross Blood Program, emphasized that any healthy person can give a pint of blood without worry. He said, have many donors who have given 11,12 and even 13 gallons of blood without incident. Most of these are eager and able to continue giving. The change will permit them to do so except in jurisdictions where it is contrary to local regulations." Donors 66 years of age or over, under the new AABB and ARC policies, may continue to give blood if they obtain written consent of their personal physician on the day of donation. Donors must be in good health, have normal temperature, pulse and blood pressure, and meet the other requirements for blood donors.

Individuals should check with their local community or hospital blood bank or Red Cross blood center relative to their eligibility to give blood. State laws generally require blood donors to be 21 years old or to have parental consent to give between 18 and 21, but Indiana is one of a number of states that recently enacted legislation permitting those 18 to 21 to give without parental consent. Both organizations have blood clearinghouses, permitting blood given locally to be credited to patients in other cities and areas with surplus blood to aid those where it is short. Exchanges between the two clearinghouse systems are made possible under a joint interorganizational agreement signed between the AABB and ARC. gested airport problem.

The bill provides a ten-year program of expansion and improvement to be financed by airways user charges. Revenues from the charges would be paid into a trust fund similar to that now utilized for federal highway programs. a resolution supported by the United States declaring the proposal an question" requiring a majority was carried 71-48 with 4 abstentions. Three nations Kuwait and Equatorial Guinea did not vote. The vote on this question was nearly unchanged from last year when 73 were in favor, 47 opposed and five countries abstained.

Western diplomats pointed out that while Peking gained a few votes on the actual resolution to unseat the Nationalists, this was the one that really counted. Their reasoning was that so long as this balloting procedure is followed, the vote on whether the China representation issue is an question" thus requiring a two-thirds majority for passage, is really the decisive one. HAS EDGE According to this thinking, the supporters of Nationalist China this year actually had a 23- vote edge in their favor, the margin on the issue" question, rather than the 8 -vote margin on the seating motion itself. The diplomats said the lack of a statement or indication from the Peking regime that it indeed was interested in the U.N. seat was one major reason for the generally lack luster 10 days of debate that preceded Tuesday's votes.

The Communists' most ardent supporters this year were Albania and Algeria. The Soviet Union, which had spearheaded the drive to seat Peking until 1963 when Soviet-Chinese relations deteriorated, did not even address the assembly during the debate.

UPI Space Writer CAPE KENNEDY (UPI) With everything going for launch Friday, Apollo 12 's astronauts relaxed at their quarters today and reviewed plans for the nation's second moon landing mission. The 11:22 a.m. EST blastoff is just two days away, and Charles Conrad, Richard F. Gordon and Alan L. Bean are ready.

The three pilots hoped to take advantage of the unusually smooth launch preparations and sunny weather and go for a swim in the Atlantic after eating lunch with top program officials today. Activity picked up at the launch pad before dawn. Most of the work was devoted to getting the 55 -ton spacecraft ready for flight. The most critical operation activating the ship's fuel cell power generators was scheduled late today. The only hint of a problem came in a radiation report from the government's Space Disturbance Center at Boulder, Colo.

A spokes, man, John McKinnon, said there were some indications a radiation outburst called a solar flare might develop in a few days. If such a flare did turn 15 and if it was severe enough, it would force a delay in the mission. How. ever, McKinnon said there was not yet enough information available to say whether the flare, if it did develop, would pose a threat to Apollo 12. Pomona was the goddess of fruit trees in.
