IK I! >Is
Its Loudest Session
S n rJevrii . v:\vs
WASHINGTON U?\ — Congress
finally ended its longest session
m 11 years Saturday sending to
President Kennedy a $5 billion
Public Works bill and a $2.4 billion
authorization for similar projects
in the future.
As one of their final acts, the
H use and Senate agreed on Wed
nesday, Jan. 9. 1963 as the date
the new 83th Congress will open.
The Senate quit first at 2:41
pin. <EST>. The House followed
1 hour and 4 minutes later.
The session ended with compara
tively few members present. Lack
of a quorum had delayed hoped
fore adjournment Friday night.
Many members of both bodies
were back in their districts cam
paigning.
Most of the work had been com
pleted two weeks ago, but a series
of disputes kept the session offi
cially going until Saturday.
Senate majority leader Mike
Mansfield. 'D-MontP, made the
sine die adjournment motion.
Only five senators were on the
floor at the finish.
There was a sharp burst of hand
clapping from the well-filled gal
leries as Sen. Wayne Morse, <D
Ored, acting as presiding officer,
declared the sine die adjournment.
The final major action was Sen
ate passage of the compromise
Public Works appropriation bill.
As sent to the Senate by voice
vote, the measure included a con
troversial $205,000 allotment to
complete planning for a Florida
barge canal, and funds for half
a dozen other projects.
These had been included in a
$550 million catch-all money
measure which was expected to
be abandoned in the adjournment
rush.
It was the fight over the Florida
project that forced the House to
adjourn Friday night when it
couldn’t muster a quorum.
It had to halt its proceedings
Friday night when only 204 mem
bers answered a roll call. That
was 14 short of a majority. A roll
call Saturday produced 235 mem
bers, 17 more than a quorum.

called “sophist it ihd nonsense":
frm a clique of t •< on: : in Wash- \

In a 10-minute speech pumping ;
for Republican candidates, Eison- 1
| hower said the sophisticates say
5 ‘‘we are dead wrong if we think j
| we can achieve our destiny on our
own.
“Specifically they want a Wash
ington where Congress is con
trolled by one party, where the
one party gets its orders from the
j executive, where the executive!
j gets its goals and purposes from j
! a clique of theorists who special- i
ize in experimental tampering and j
tinkering and talk.”
Ruddy and beaming, the 72- ;
year-old former President spoke at ;
a Republican outdoor rally in Bush- \
noil Park as GOP state and con
i gressional candidates sat by.
Eisenhower said he was elected
i with the support of millions of!
Democrats and independents. But
now, he said, he believes one fac
| tion of the Democratic party is in
; control and “has a monopoly on
j sophisticated nonsense.
“Against it I must speak out
! my belief that America today des
perately needs Republican admin
istration within its states and com
munities, Republican representa
tive in the Senate. . .”

to plan early, for then the student will be academically quali
fied. What about the costs of a college education? Early finan
