WE HAVE LITTLE appreciation for
people wt» contend the American
system is slow, slovenly, and worming
around in the soil of bureaucratic
inefficient.
NOT TRUE Take the measure to
increase pensions for members of
Congress On Friday morning Rep
William I) Ford, D-Mich , arose in the
stately House of Representatives and
introduced the bill to increase pensions
of his fellow members, a long line of
staff workers, and provide tax-paid
pension time for about 800 political
hacks who slave in the trenches of party
organisations
CONSIDERATION of Ford's request
for unamious consent and passage of
the tall took all of 80-seconds, according
to UP1. The bill received such
unqualified support that It bypassed the
usual requirement that a committee
study the matter and report its
recommendations to the House
ANO IT 1$ for this reason that we
take umbrage at the observation that
our government is slow, slovenly, and
warming around in the soil of
bureaucratic inefficiency Not true
When the spirit moves 'em. man. do
they move!

— Longest Filubuster In 13 Years —
Senate Has Its Own
Gas Regulation W oe
WASHINGTON (UPIi - Rumpled
and bleary-eyed senators shuffled
between catnap cots and roll call votes
today as two Democratic opponents of
natural gas price deregulation knotted
the Senate into its longest filibuster in
13 years
All through the night, lawmakers
voted on the amendments of Sens
Howard Metzenbaum. D-Ohio, and
James Abourezk, D-S D. in their first
all night session since 1964 The two
said they were willing to go for "weeks
and months" in the battle to hold down
natural gas prices.
Shortly before noon - after more
than 24 hours in the session — Abourezk
and Metzenbaum again threatened to
continue until the bill is defeated,
withdrawn, or changed so much that
prices would go up but little
"If the forces for deregulation think
they are going to wear us down, they do
not understand the strength of our
resolve," Abourezk told UPI
Metzenbaum said, "We are fresh and
prepared to stay, and look forward to
another ...”
”... full 24 hours,” Abourezk in-
terrupted

Broken Arrow OK's
School Bond Issue
BROKEN ARROW-Voters over-
whelmingly approved a $15 million
bond issue Tuesday to build additional
school facilities to keep up with a fast-
growing Broken Arrow enrollment
The vote was 985 for, 174 against
Bonds will be used to finance the first
phase of a new elementary school east
of Broken Arrow and additions to two
existing schools.
Supt Clarence Oliver has estimated
30 to 35 additional classrooms are
needed each year to keep up with an
annual growth rate of 8 to 10 per cent
This year's enrollment, nearly 9,000. is
up more than 12 per cent over last year
proposed a plan to free enough natural
gas to cover any winter emergency
Under Johns tons proposal, which
won one preliminary test vote, in-
dustries using natural gas would be
allowed to sell that and buy residual oil.
The selling prices would be the
equivalent at the usually more ex-
pensive residual oil, so they would not
lose money in the exchange
Majority leader Robert Byrd, who
led that last filibuster against a civil
rights bill 13 years ago, was trying to
outlast the duo and force a vote on the
deregulation bill He vowed to keep the
Senate in session “around the clock,"
but acknowledged there was no end in
sight to the delay
Time and again, every 20 or 30
minutes, senators arose from cots and
couches in nearby rooms and wanderer)
red-eyed into the chamber to record
their votes
Anti-fill buster forces took the floor
before dawn, however, and spoke long
enough to give their colleagues nearly
two uninterrupted hours of sleep Then,
after Abourezk called for a quorum
waking many of them up, Byrd beat
back an attempt by the South Dakota
senator to adjourn
Byrd then knocked down several
amendments proposed by Abourezk
and Metzenbaum by having a Senate
clerk read them aloud and succeaafully
asking the Senate's presiding officer.
Sen Daniel Moyruhan. D-N.Y . to rule
that they duplicated other amendments
— a move Metzenbaum termed "ex-
tremely bad precedent.”
Then, at 10 minutes after sunnae.
Byrd recessed the Senate for two hours
and 20 minutes — until 9:30 a m - “to
allow for a shave and a shower ” He
suggested his colleagues "be
prepared" for more roll calls
Metzenbaum, relieving Abourezk.
asked for a longer recess to keep
senators from being "under difficult
pressure ”
"I haven't had a wink of sleep." Byrd
replied, adding that he would favor a
longer recess if I could see the end in
sight
The 24 hours prior to the brief mor-
ning recess saw the Senate undergo 38
roll call votes — four more than the
record for any one day in the past
Abourezk and Metzenbaum said they
were willing to go for weeks and
months" to defeat legislation to
deregulate or increase the price of
natural gas

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Retired
A dm Thomas Moorer, former chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said
today it was *vital to U S. interests" to
retain complete ownership and control
of the Panama Canal.
Giving the canal up could turn it into
the "satellite base of an adversary,"
Mover told a House committee
His testimony contrasted sharply
with the opinion of Mover's former
colleagues at the Pentagon who have
urged ratification of the treaties, and
said it is in the national interest to do so.
The current chairman at the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. Gen George Brown,
pushed for acceptance of the
agreements Tuesday before a Senate
committee
Conservative opponents of the
treaties have charged the ad-
ministration is covering up dissent
within the Pentagon over the treaties
Defense Secretary Harold Brown Tues-
day called that suggestion an insult
LITTLE ROCK (UPI) - The
directors of Burlington Northern
railway have approved a $138.7 million
agreement in principle to acquire the
St. Louia-San Francisco Railway.
The railroads have been discussing a
merger fv some time The agreement
once in final form, must be approved by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and by shareholders m both companies
before the merger can occur. Officials
estimate it could take up to three years
The merger would add the Frisco’s
But today Moorer said any chairman
of the joint chiefs "will immediately
perceive that it is vital to U.S. interests
to retain complete ownership and
control of the Panama Canal
“I’m very much concerned about the
proposals to surrender the canal to a
leftist oriented government allied with
Cuba.
"There exists the potential danger fv
givir* this U.S advantage to a man who
might allow v might be persuaded that
it was in his best interest to permit
Soviet power and influence to prevail
by proxy over the canal, in much the
same manner as happened in Cuba,"
Moorer said
The former navy officer said “recent
history indicates that the Canal Zone
could quickly become the satellite base
of an adversary The advocates of this
proposed treaty do not appear to take
this factv into account ”
The administration has warned the
Senate not to amend the treaties with
4,700 miles of track to Burlington's
25,000, and the combined railways could
cover 25 states Burlington, based in
Minnesota, has more miles of track ui
operation than any other railroad in the
United States
The two railroads overlap in three
states, but there are no parallel tracks
Laat year Burlington earned $73
million on revenues of $1.$ billion. The
Frisco earned $12 million on revenues
of $321 5 million
restrictive reservations, fearing such
language could trigger Panamanian
rejection of the accords
Yet, in two days of hearings in the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
this week, both Republicans and
Democrats have pressed Secretary of
State Cyrus Vance and Secretary
Brown to explain apparent differences
of interpretation with Panama on key
articles
