^ " apflPWPiB'wj' Two -- Page Four VJudiciary Committee Many of the highly controversial and most interesting subjects of legislation of the first session of the 89th Congress were considered by the Judiciary committee, upon which this member of Congress serves. Of these, the voting rights and immigration bills as well as the constitutional amendment relative to presidential succession and . disability are among the best known. In addition to^ these subjects, the committee considered close to 100 bills effecting changes in our federal statutes and more than 1,000 private bills involving claims against the government and individual immigration cases. Of Special Interest Legislative activity affecting the 12th Congressional district includes the Military Construction Appropriation bill (H.R. 10323) providing funds for the establishment of., the 5th Army Headquarters at Fort Sheridan. Military housing at Fort Sheridan and at Great Lakes Naval Training center as well as other improvements at both of these important bases are also of particular interest to 12th District -residents. Funds to initiate a feasibility study for a small boat harbor at Highland Park as well as initial steps for a corresponding small boat harbor at Zion were part of the legislative work of this session. Other engineering project*! are under way affecting the Waukegan Harbor as well as the Fox River and the Des Plaines river. Unfinished Business The huge legislative production of this first session of the 89th Congress included many measures which, in the opinion of this member, might better have been left to state, local and individual initiative. The resistance to still other propos-1 als indicate that the second session of this Congress will be fraught with bitter controversy anfl very little in the way of net? legislat or) . JStill pending on the agenda at the close of the session is the proposed repeal of Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act, a proposal aimed at repealing the laws of nineteen states where union shop clauses in labor - management contracts have been outlawed. In the labor-management field proposals ,to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act by increasing the minimum wage to $2, requiring payment of double-time wages for hours worked in excess qf 40 or 48 hours per week, land reduction of the standard work week from 40 to 35 hou^s per week are included. Measures to legalize secondary boycotts and to consolidate the unemployment compens a t i o n programs of the 50 states into one huge federal program were also pending at the end of the session. The highly emotional issue of hom0 rule for the District of Columbia remains for the second session of this Congress or some later Congress to decide General revision of the copyright laws is also expected to come to the House floor later. Federal control of firearms, including mail order sales of rifles and pjstols, is a red-hot issue awaiting action next year. ; Committee Investigations These and other proposals which may not yet have been introduced will receive attention by the 89th Congress when it reconvenes in January. During the current recess many members of Congress will engage in committee and commission work, including investigations occurring in Washington, other parts of the country and abroad. Some members of the Judiciary committee, including ^this member, will undertake investigations on pending narcotics legislation aimed at reducing the traffic in narcotics and helping to rehabilitate narcotics addicts. In addition, military "and civilia|n claims against the ^government originating at various overs]as bases will be investigated/ during this period. Republican Contributions The legislative program, including the major bills which have been 'outlined above, ha-> been prepared and carried out largely through the efforts of the Democratic Administration with its overwhelming influence in the \VhiU House and its better than two-to-one majorities in the House and Senate. This ^should not indicate that the Republican members of Congress have not contributed to the final legislative results. In mapy cases, as in the voting r i g h t s , i m m i g r a t i o n , h e a l t h care, water pollution education and other measures, Republicans have contributed substantially to produce the final form of these measures. In the case of repeal of the excise taxes, t h e A d m i n i s t r a t i o n c a r r i e d through on a proposal which the Republicans initiated at the last session of Congress. Numerous recommendations of the Republican Minority were adopted in the final form of the immigration bill, and an estimated three - fourths of the health care proposal represents programs initiated or supported by more -Republicans. At least one-half of the voting rights measure reflects Republican recommendations. Smooth Sailing Bills such as the Ms-npower Development and Training Act, the Water Resources Planning Act, the Community Health Services Act, the Drug Abuse Control Amendments, the National Vocational Student Loan Insurance Act and others passed the House of Representatives as well as the Senate unanimously. The fact is there were very few close votes. Even the h ghly controversial bill creating a new Department of Housing and Urban Development (H.R 6927) was passed in the House with 6 votes to spare. This was the narrowest margin by which any of the bills passed which are now among our new laws. In general the Johnson Administration has had smooth sailing in the House and Senate during the first session of the 89th Congress. It is the expectation of this member of Congress that, in this respect at least ,the second session of the 89th Congress will be quite different. McHenry Man Attends Administration School Alexander Niemiec, secretary of McHenry Moose Lodge, No. 691, will attend the administration school to be held for Moose lodge secretaries at North Aurora and Mooseheart on Nov. 20 and 21. The school, designed to better acquaint secretaries with their duties, will be conducted by Supreme Secretary Cary A. Weis and his four deputies, Mai*- vin Meisner, William Stanley, Paul Sheets and Phillip Tutt. The only gift for a feller or a gal who has everything, is sympathy.

' Social Security Q) Why should a person over 65 who is still working, consider completing an application for social security benefits? A) At 65, even if you continue working, your application will establish your eligibility for hospital insurance und?r thp Medicare program. In addition, this application would give you an opportunity to enroll in the voluntary medical insurance plan. Q) During the past month, I heard that a persons should enroll for medical insurance before March 31, 1966 if he is 65 or over before January 1, 1966. Why are these dates so important? A) If you will be 65 or over on January 1, 1966 and do not enroll by March 31, 1966, yoi would not have mcdiral insurance protection when the program starts on July 1, 1966. In fact, a long delay in signing up for medical insurance benefits could result in a total loss of such benefits. Q) I am 61 years old and d'sabled. Could I receive benefits under the Medicare program? A) The Medicare provisions apply only to people age 65 and over. In no case, however, \ will medicare insurance take i effect before July 1, 1966. j Q) If I go to my doctor j for a routine check-up how much will medicare pay toward my expenses? A) Routine physical checkup, eyeglasses, hearing aids, private-duty nurses, custodial care, and personal services such as a telephone or television would not be covered under this program. Q) How will I know I am covered by the Medicare program? A) If you are age 65 or o>Jer and receiving social serity or railroad retirement benefits, you qualify automatically for hospital insurance. An application for medical insurance has been mailed to you. This form should be completed and returned to the Social Security Administration as soon as possible. Anyone having questions about completing the card should contact their social security representative. Q) I have never worked under social security. Can I still qualify for Medicare? A) Most people who are or will he age 65 before 1968 will be eligible for hospital and medical insurance even if they have no credit for work under social security. Q> Since Medicare is in eflect, should I drop 'my present health insurance plan? A) None of the health insurance programs under sosial security start until July SCOUT NEWS CADETTE TROOP 41 Nov. 11 was our rededication night in Troop 41. We made special invitations for our troop committee and invited them to join us. After a brief business meeting we began our program with a flag ceremony. After repeating the promise and laws, the patrol leaders presented the troop committee with their Girl Scout pins and welcomed them as part of the troop. As we sjjng "When ,E'er You Make a Promise,^ we passed the light of scouting to the girls who were members of the troop last year. Then each girl passed her light on to her scouting "little sister".
