Gapihot Report Several measures which have been debated recently in the U.S. House of Representatives point up the conflict between the Executive branch and the Congress regarding matters of foreign policy. In the H6use' debates on the monumental, although relatively noncontroversial, Immigration Bill, the Executive's foreign policy prerogatives ran head-on into the essentially law-making functions of the Congress. By abandoning the national origins system of our immigration laws after more than forty years, the Congress was anxious to accomplish three results: (1) to establish priorities by which skilled and pro1 f e s s i o n a l p e r s o n n e l might have increased' opportunities to immigrate to the United States; (2) to enslble American citizens to >be reunited with their parents, children and brothers and sisters from abroad; and (3) to establish an annual numerical ceiling for immigrants from the entire wbrld. The Administration acquiesced in a numerical ceiling insofar as European and Asiatic immigration was concerned, but disapproved originally of placing any ceiling on immigration from the Western Hemisphere. Although the Republican members of the House referred to the critical population explosion occurring in Latin America and the danger from unlimited immigration from that area, the Demo c r a t i c A d m i n i s t r a t i o n and House majority succeeded temporarily in defeating the Republican move. The entire basis.. of the arguments in the House centered about American foreign policy and the sensitive feelings of the various Central and South American nations. American national interests and the primary prerogatives of the Congress in establishing a total annual1 ceiling- on immigration were denounced by the Democrats. Suddenly, the Administration yielded, the denunciation of Congress was forgotten, and a Western Hemisphere ceiling became part of the new law as an accepted element of imigration policy -- adopted by the Congress. In a subsequent bill authorizing elimination of tariffs on certain automobiles and automobile parts exported to and from Canada, the Congress was handed an agreement previously signed on Jan. 16 by President Johnson and the Canadian Prime Minister. The arrangement distinguisher between automotive parts intended for new vehicles and those intended as replacement parts with the replacement parts continuing to be subject to high Canadian tariffs. It appeared in the debates ihat the Congress would like the Administration to negotiate an agreement applicable to all automotive parts in order that there would be no discrimination between American parts manufacturers. Again the argument was made that the argreement handed to the Congress represented a measure in behalf of cordial relations between the United States and Canada. While the e s t a b l i s h m e n t of t a r i f f s is a constitutional function of the Congress, the House of Representatives yielded on this issue and the bill validating the U.S. -- Canadian Automotive Trade Agreement was approved by a substantial vote. After the vote, it was reported that "replacement parts" will be included in the Trade Agreement -- later. Conflicts in foreign policy have arisen also in other measures debated recently in the U.S. Congress, such as (1) the bills which approve sales of wheat and other gdods to the Soviet Union and various Soviet satellite nations, (2) the foreign aid bill with its authority for foreign aid to the United Arab Republic, (3) the Coffee Agreement bill which amounts to an indirect subsidy of South American coffee, and in many other proposals, which have come before this session of the U.S. House of Representatives. Despite a general desire on the part of all members of the Congress to support the Administration on foreign policy matters, the view is held by many that the Administration is not sufficiently firm in its relationships with other nations and not always consistent in the development and application of the foreign policy. However, as long as foreign policy questions are intertwined with legislative measures, the fight between Congress and the Executive bound to continue.

The Wonder Lake Syndicate announces the formation of the Master Property Owners' association for the Wonder Lake A charter has been and states the purpose as follows: "To conduct and promote the Wonder Lake recrer ation area for the improvement of civic and social welfare and to control and maintain the lake bottom and other community property pertinent thereto, and to do any and all acts necessary to further said object," (among other things) and to limit the use of the lake to those property owners receiving lake rights through deeds and contracts issued by Wonder Lake Syndicate. , An executive committee has been appointed to draft the necessary by-laws and handle all of the other matters relating to the Master association. Each property owners' association will have a number on the board of directors. As provided in the contracts and deeds, each subdivision through its member on the board will have one vote for each 100 lots or fraction thereof. The executive committee is as follows: L. C. Fuhrer, Wonder Center subdivision; Roy Hollingsworth, White Oaks Bay subdivision; August Jeffery, Hickory Falls subdivision; A. J. Robertson, Sunrise Ridge subdivision and Horace H. Wagner, Wooded Shores. They will have the management of the Master association during its period of organization. At their first meeting the Board elected A. J. Robertson to preside as chairman. EstablishCommission TiT * ^ Study Tax Rate Limitations An, important bill to both the taxpayer and the local government is Senate Bill 1150 passed by the recent General Assembly. This bill, drafted and strongly supported by the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois, sets up a small commission, consisting of two Senators, two Representatives and two lay persons, to study the full value assessment and tax rate limitation laws affecting local government finance. Urgency of the measure is apparent from the fact that the bill passed the Senate 44 to 0 and passed the House 158 to 0. The Commission has the duty to make a thorough study of present property tax rate limitations under the existing so-called "Butler-Hodge-Downing Laws", and shall consider the updating of such laws. In addition, the Commission shall study the process of valuing property for taxation purposes in the various counties and the equalization of assessments process. These limiting laws are part and parcel of the revamping of, the property assessing and rate limitation system that have been on the books in Illinois for twenty years. At the last few sessions of the General Assembly some interests have supported legislation to "peck away" at the tax rate limits on the taxable funds of counties, townships, municipalities and special districts. It has been a game of hitting- at one rate ajt a time. A one session, it was the general corporate rate for counties under 15,000 population; at another session, it was the general fund of certain sanitary districts. However, at the last session of the General Assembly there was more of a wholesale attack. Bills were before the Legislature to repeal the rate limitation law on the corporate fund of all counties, the county highway fund, the general fund of park districts and the general fund of fire protection districts; even one bill attempted to repeal the law outright. The Federation was successful in preventing repeal While working for reasonable increases in rates where the facts warranted. THRT'S 1 MOT AH ARROW. , • "fir li .. ib INSURANCE ONOfJ/AYOF Lift!
