April-1. 1965: No one serving in the United States Congress at this time can help but sense a deep concern for the events occurring in Viet Nam. This is not to imply that the members of Congress have formulated the policies which have brought our nation to the present crisis. On the contrary* many of our U. S Representatives and Senators have been critical of the Executive department, including the President, on the ground that American policy in Viet Nam has not been clearly defined. The State Department and Department of Defense seem at last to have decided that when our civilian and military personnel in South Viet Nam are attacked, we will retaliate with force. However, a more comprehensive policy will have to be stated in order to satisfy the American people and their representatives in the Congress. It seems clear that the South Vietnamese government and forces are in need of more than U. S. military "advisers." Indeed, if any sustained attacks are to be carried out against North Viet Nam, an increased and fully rounded military force will be required. Persistent reports have circulated recently of the massing of large Red Chinese ground forces near the North Vietnamese border. It is obvious that we must consider the prospect of intervention by Red Chinese or Soviet ground and air forces. What should be our policy under such circumstances? Marching pickets in various U. S. cities, the differences of opinion expressed by citizens of the 12th District of Illinois, indeed, the varying views held by the 535 members of the U.S. House and Senate, are convincing proof that a well-defined policy must be adopted behind which the nation and the free world can rally. The first measure to be considered by the House Judiciary committee is a proposed Constitutional amendment relating to presidential disability and succession. The assassination of President Kennedy focused national attention on this subject --especially when the public realized that Congressman John McCormack (73 - year - old Speaker of the House) and Senator Carl Hayden (87-yearold President pro tem of the Senate) became next in line to succeed to the presidency. President Johnson's recent early morning emergency dash to Bethesda Naval Hospital sparked new demands for speedy action to protect the Republic against any lapse or void in executive authority. Accordingly, the House Judiciary Committee will consider a Constitutional amendment which provides that whenever a vacancy exists in the office of Vice-President (as when the Vice-President succeeds to the office of President) the President shall nominate a person who (upon approval by a majority of the House and Senate) shall then become Vice-President. The Constitutional amendment would also authorize Congress to provide for a transfer of powers from the President in case of an inability to perform his duties. It is expected that this proposal or some similar measure will be recommended by the House Judiciary Committee. Thereafter, if passed by twothirds of the House and Senate, it will be submitted to the various state legislatures for ratification. Favorable action by three-fourths (or 38) of th$ state legislatures will then be needed in order for the amendment to become effective. The hearings which began this week before the House Judiciary Committee are expected to be concluded promptly. Final passage of the measure by the House and Senate is expected to follow without delay. The issue of Presidential succession and disability should be one of the first major accomplishments of the 89th Congress. With the signature of President Johnson, the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1956 becomes the law of the land. Thus, the Congress has authorized the expenditure of more than $1 billion of federal funds to benefit a specified region of the country, ranging through eleven eastern states, With the cost to be borne primarily by the taxpayers of the other thirty-nine states of the Union. Two main purposes of the bill should be of particular concern to all residents of Illinois, including those who reside in the 12th District. First, the bill aims to underwrite construction of highways, sewers, sewage treatment plants, housing, schools and hospitals in the area called Appalachia. The announced object of this construction is to attract private industry to the area--and thus provide jobs for those who now reside in the hills and valleys of this region. ' One may ask where the industries will come from which may relocate in Appalachia. Will some of Illinois' corporations decide to transfer operations from Illinois (where roads, water plants and sewage facilities are built primarily from local taxes) to Appalachia (where the federal government picks up the bill for these improvements) ? Congressman James Cleveland of New Hampshire, a state that is nearby the region of Appalachia, has expressed concern in clear and dramatic language. In the House debates, he declared that in building up the industrial attractiveness of Appalachia, jobs and industries will be lured away from other areas, including New Hampshire --and perhaps Illinois. Congressman Cleveland terms this as an act of "job piracy and industrial piracy." Residents of Illinois are aware of the efforts expended by our Illinois State Economic Development Board, our various chambers of commerce ancA others to attract new businesses to Illinois. But can our state, even employing these means, compete successfully with the ppwer and resources of the federal government? V Another part of the Appalachia bill will provide funds for developing Small farms of not more than 50 acres. These small areas are intended to be converted into grazing lands. Thus, at a time when an effort is be ing made to reduce the number of small, uneconomical farms this new program is designed to multiply these burdensome "farms." The hope of bringing prosperity to Appalachia through these artificial devices is based mainly on the assumption that such improvements as roads, sewers, water supply and hospitals can make an area prosperous. In considering this assumption it is important to distinguish Appalachia from great national ef forts as the harnessing of the energy of a great naural resource, as in TVA, the Colorado River or the St. Lawrence Seaway. The Appalachia program may be compared more accurately to the "Brasilia plan" pursuant to which the Brazilian government sought to establish a prosperous community in the midst of that nation's hinterland. The development was unnatural and unsuccessful--albeit very expensive. Indeed, the project was so costly that it nearly destroyed the nation, itself, economically. Another consequence of the Appalachia bill is that other similar areas are preparing to "raid" the Federal Treasury in order to build roads, sewers, water mains and schools, etc., in the hope that prosperity will return to those regions, a swell. Northern Michigan, Eastern Texas and Southern Illinois may be next in line. Someone in authority should take a look soon at the economic dislocation and virtual bankruptcy of Brazil resulting from the construction of Brasilia. . That might give a hint at what happens to an area like Appalachia when funds in thtf1 public till give out. Again this year, as during the early part of the 88th Congress in 1963, I am mailing a questionnaire to residents of the 12th Congressional District (Lake, McHenry and Boone counties). This questionnaire touches upon a number of domestic and foreign issues with which the Congress will be concerned during the weeks and months ahead, including (a) revision of our immigration laws, (b) possible repeal of Section 14 (b) of the Taft-Hartley labor law, (c) farm policy, (d) medicare legislation for elder citizens, (e) trade with the Soviet Union, and other subjects. Space is provided for comments with regard to these or any other subjects on which the citizeij. may wish to express an opinion. While the previous questionnaire was individually addressed to house-holders listed in the local telephone directories, this year tiie simple designation "Postal Patron" is being employed. In this way, the questionnaire will have a wider and more comprehensive distribution. In addition, the various post offices will not have the time-consuming job of searching out addresses according to street and box numbers with the inevitable incorrect addresses and changes of address which occur from any such large-scale mailing. A questionnaire thoughtfully answered provides an opportunity for the individual citizen to communicate briefly, but directly, with his or her Representative in the Congress. The fact 'that more than 250 members of Congress engage in some such polling of contituents indicates an overwhelming public approval of this practice as a means of obtaining citizen opinion. It should not be considered that the responses to the questionnaire are intended to dictate the individual votes of myself or other members of Congress. Still, the influence on me of such opinions, including the individual expressions which accompany these responses, is extremely great. Others who have the difficult task of reaching just and fair decisions on q u e s t i o n s which a f f e c t the a f fairs and destiny of the nation are likewise affected. Any person who has not received a questionnaire within the next few days may obtain one at my district offices (326 North Genesee Street, Waukegan, and City Hall, Belvidere) or by writing to my Washington office, as follows: Honorable Robert McClory, House Office Building, Washington, D. C. The results of the questionnaire will be compiled and made available as rapidly as possible. All residents of the 12th District who wish their views reflected are urged to return the questionnaire promptly. COLLISION CAUSES Even comparately small fixed objects can stop a high powered automobile cold; aiso the driver and passengers. Chief causes of fixed object collisions according to the Institute for Safer Living of the American are inattention, inexperience, and misjudgment of distance. Alcohol is a known factor iri many such collisions. The most fatalities from this cause occur among drivers from ages 15 to 25.

"Vietnam Diary" by Richard Tregaskis The first definitive eyewitness account' of the combat in Vietnam, this unforgettable, vividly illustrated report records the story of the 14,000 Americans fighting in a new kind of war. Written and photographed by the author of "Guadalcanal Diary," "Invasion Diary," and X-15 Diary," one of the most knowledgeable and experienced of America's war correspondents, "Vietnam Diary" describes America's biggest military effort since Korea, showing how we have, developed new techniques (prin*. cipally with helicopters) for re-' sistfhg wily guerrilla forces"; 2 Roaming the whole of wartorn Vietnam, Tregaskis take^T his reader^Bh the tense U. S. missions--with the Marine helicopters and the Army H-21'S (the Hueys); with the ground pounders on the embattled Delta area, the fiercest battlefield of Vietnam; then to the Special Forces, picked men with the job of training Montagnard troops to resist Communists in the high jungles. From there the author goes on to the junk fleet patroling the seacoast against the marauding Viet Cong and to the American fighter pilots accompaning the Vietnamese on their hair-raising missions. Mr. Tregaskis tells the stirring human story of American fightingmen deeply committed to their jobs--the Captain who says: "You have to feel that it's a personal problem--that if they go under, we go under;" The wounded American advisor who deserted the hospital to rejoin his unit; the father of five killed ort his first mission the day before Christmas; the advisor who wouldn't take a leave because he loved his wife and feared he would go astray in Saigon. And the dramatic battle reports cover the massive efforts of the Vietnamese troops to whom the Americans are leaders and' advisors. SHOP IN McHENRY ALOHA INN 7506 Hancock DriVe Wonder Lake, 111.
