PG. 12-PLAINDEAIER - FRIDAY, JAN. 1^1970 McCLORY REPORTS From ^ Washington , UWlHfgf When the second session of the 91st Congress convenes on; Wednesday, Jan. 19, much un­ finished business will be on the agehda. However, to describe this Wva •« do nothing" Congress seems premature. A great deal of constructive legislation was initiated during the first session and awaits completion dur­ ing the second session, which will extihd throughout most of 1970/ For the first>fctne in recent history, the Congress adjourned without completing action on ap­ propriation bills. Appropria­ tions for the Department of Labor and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, as well as for the Office of Economic Opportunity, are still in limbo. Meanwhile, these de­ partments are operating under so-called "continuing reso­ lutions" -- which means that funds may be expended only on the basis of spending levels established two years ago. In­ deed, the President has now communicated his intention to veto the Labor-HEW appropri­ ation bill (totalling more than $19 billion) unless it is re­ duced substantially. On the constructive side, the House of Representatives adopted a proposed consti­ tutional amendment, to substi­ tute the popular election of the President in place of the existing electoral college sys­ tem. Also, the House passed a bill extending and expanding the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Both of these highly signifi­ cant measures were stalled in the Senate, where affirmative action may be expected early a primary cause of waste and disappointment. That definitely is not the Nixon style and is a style not apt to be adopted while he remains in the White House. This expression of hope for. a greater yield of meaningful legislation in 1970 does not ex­ clude the expectation that pol­ itics may control many votes during the second session of the 91st Congress. However, it is unlikely that the American people will stand for any po­ litical chicanery on issues such as crime, pollution of the en­ vironment, education and hun­ ger. Indeed, it is expected that the members of the United States House of Representatives and Senate will act responsibly in concert with leadership from the White House which will both identify the issues and point the direction toward which the nation must move on the domes­ tic front. Acting responsibly means in 1970. Anti-crime bills, including ^likewise that the scope of most those directed against pornog- domestic programs must be raphy, organized crime and ha- measured by the revenues bitual criminals, have been the available. Indeed, the most hor­ rendous threat to the nation's internal security is that of in­ flation. Those in public office should set an example which the business community, labor organizations, and the general public must follow if the in­ sidious ravages of inflation are to be controlled. 1 subject of hearing both in the House" and Senate com­ mittees. Likewise, extensive explorations have been conduc­ ted regarding juvenile crimin­ ality, drug abuse, campus dis­ orders, hunger and malnutri­ tion, and other domestic prob­ lems which plague our society. The work of the committees is nearing completion and should be translated into meaningful legislative proposals early in the Second Session. Wholesale revision of anti- poverty and agricultural pro­ grams have been deliberately delayed in order that new pol­ icies may be adopted after care­ ful planning. This slow and thoughtful method is in sharp contrast to the bull-in-the china shop style whi$h prevailed dur­ ing the Johnson administration. The huge volume of legislation enacted during the Johnson years accounts for much of the frustration and confusion which exist today. Too much action and too little planning have been STUDENT TEACHER While Northern Illinois uni­ versity's other 22,075 on-cam- pus students are back at their books preparing for final ex­ aminations, 444 are out on stu- dent-teaching stints.

How Can I? By Anne Ashley Q. How can I replace' a brok­ en asphalt floor tile? A. Crack the defective tile with a hammer, dig out the pieces, scrape out the old ad­ hesive from the subfloor, then spread in some fresh asphalt tile cement. After this has be­ come tacky to the touch, sei in your new tile. If the sub- floor is uneven and the new tile does not set firmly, heat ft slightly in an oven until it is pliable, then set quickly in place. Q. How can I prevent my cook­ ed caked icings from becoming grainy and hard? A. By the addition of one to one and a half teaspoons of corn syrup to the mixture while it is cooking. Q. How can I repair some broken onyx? A. After thoroughly cleaning the broken edges, coat them with some epoxy glue, then keep pressed together until the glue sets. Q. How can I clean rust or copper stains from a porcelain surface? • A. By washing with household ammonia and water, or a sol­ ution of three tablespoons Ja- velle water to one quart of water. If this does not work, scrub with a non-abrasive cleanser. RUBELLA DRIVE LEADERS - County-wide ef­ fort to whip rubella shifts into high gear.
