Young Attacks Editorial
On Republican Congress
Editor of the Daily:
An editorial appearing in the Daily last Thursday left
the impression -that the Republican congress lias been twid-
dling its thumbs while the nation’s problems accumulate
This is not strictly speaking the truth i '
Because such a belief is Widespread and because It create a dis-
torted picture of American democracy in action a review of the rec-
ord isin order
Major legislation of 1047 included the First Decontrol act Foreign
Aid act Greco-Turkish Aid act International Refugee Organization act
National Securitv act Portal-to-Portal Pay Limitation act Presidential
Succession act Stabilization act and the Terminal-Leave Bond Payment
—
act
Grist from the nation's legisla-
tive mill in IMS consisted of ap-
porpriations totaling more than 11
billion dollars for the army navy
and air force a housing and rent
act increases in subsistence al-
lowance for trainees under the GI
bill and for veterans enrolled for
full-time educational training leg-
islation expanding the air force
to 70 groups and authorizing a
Go 000-ton supercarrier for the
navy the United States Informa-
tion and Educational Exchange
act and the Yandenberg resolu-
tion All this nli five measnres
mentioned by the writer of the
editorial pins an extension of
wartime farm ' price supports
through 1949 plus the formula-
tion and approval of peace
treaties with Italy Bulgaria Ru-
mania ad Hungary has been
done by a legislatures dominated
by members of the Republican
party
This letter is not Intended as a
defense of the 80th congress Its
mistakes have been many and glar-
ing Most appalling has been the
lawmakers' indifference to the
need for legislation to stave off in-
flation Their failure to take a stand on
the president's civil rights pro-
gram can only be described as cow-
ardly and opportunist Their
whitewashing' of the reciprocal
trade program the housing pro-
gram extension of social security
and federal aid to education should
undergo serious review
Nevertheless a lot of thought
and a lot of work have gone into
laws that have been passed
Some of the men who authored
those laws are -as able as any in
this nation's history
Whatever else they may be
charged with doing they cannot
be charged with doing nothing
James K Young
(Do you suppose the writer of
the editorial Earl Luebker
meant that the 80th Congress
failed to do anything for the
welfare of the people who elect-
ed the lawmakers to art in the
interest of all of the people?

Holmes Queries Senate Act
Of Giving Pep Club Seats
Editor of the Daily:
On Wednesday June 30 the student senate gave final
approval to a seating plan for students at the football games
next fall In my opinion that was fine
The plan -gives every student a reserved seat for every football
game next fall upon payment of a 15 cent service charge Fifteen
rents for reserved seats to top flight collegiate football games! Hats off
to the student sedate the university administration and the athletic
denartment i
The plan is very flexible Any

‘Rotten Ideals
And Politics’
Collins Cries
Editor of the Dally:
When I read R E Prentice's
editorial "Road to Dictatorship ” I
learned how uneducated some
people are about Oklahoma's poli-
tics Voting would never get bet-
ter roads for us
The head of the state highway
commission H E Bailey seems to
he a better politician than a road-
builder The political connections are
evidently between the governor
former governor state senators
and Bailey: because according
to jin Oklahoma senate investiga-
tion Texas and Arkansas buy
asphalt from Rob Kerr's asphalt
plant In AYynnewood cheaper
than we can buy it
Texas and Arkansas can also
build roads for 60 of what it
costs us
Our educational system Is also
frowned upon especially In pro-
portion to the state income In
Governor Turner's campaign plat
form he promised a new school
bill But after Governor Turner
took office he got his "rubber
stamp” senators around him and
threw it out
An old age pension bill went
down the creek In the same man-
ner N
As far as Industry is concerned
It is going to Texas and Arkansas
Why don’t we get some? Because
our state legislatures' are always
raising and lowering taxes
Taxes were lowered this year
but they might go up again if
any industry came in Once we
get a substantial administration'
It will entice Industry
The majority of the trouble Is
due to rotten politics It is not the
voters’ fault because he is double-
crossed and sold out
A complete house cleaning
around the state capital building
would help more than anything
else
I am not asking you to take my
word for all of this Just look in
the minutes of the past legisla-
ture Incidentally there is a lot
more material similar to these
same rotten ideals

student can sit next to any other
student or group of atudents by
picking up their tickets together
But Ed there is a joker in the
deck the senate turned right
around and passed recommenda-

the season They didn’t sjiecify
where the seas were to he but I
can make a good guess (Student
senators if this iiaragraph isn't
factual I will publicly correct it
But you see there is no written
record in the senate office on what
you did pass!)
Ed I have no bone to pick with
the pep (?) organiaztions for I
don't believe in special privileges
for select groups Let’s look at
the record:

Arabs on Spot With CA
For Calling Off Truce
By ASSOCIATED TRESS j
The Jewish-Arab war is on again j
There’s something that makes you sick inside as yo
watch men of the 20th Century get up deliberately at th
roke of a clock and try to settle with guiwtlie issues vhic
ley cannot compose at the council table
By refusing to continue the truce the Arabs have placed then
selves In a very grave- ixsltI'on athwart the wishes of the United X
tions This is a fact not an adjudicaUon of whether the Arab is rigl
or wrong - t
Sufficient to him is the belief that the Jew if allowed to estahlisj
national state In Palestine with unrestricted Jewish immigratloi:
will push the Moslem back Into the waste hinterlands of the middle east
or make him a minority and enslave him £
Sufficient to the Jew Is that this 1 f
the Arabs and a lifting of -fiii
UK arms embargo In favor of tin
Jews
From the practical standpoint
there is a jmssibility that thenb
already beset by jalousies woul
ultimately split over the sugge'
lion that lacking a Jewish-Ara
federation such as Mediator Berm
dotte and others have proposer
the Arab areas of Palestine go t
Transjordan j
Ibn Saud of Arabia Farouk cf
Egypt and Abdullah of Transjorda
are always busy seeing to it tlu
neither of the others gain such
important upper hand in Arab a-
fairs - p
Regardless of the merits of the
whole case If the Arabs perslsll
in trying to drive the Jews from
Palestine by force -they will bri
branded as aggressors by thri
United tXalions and heavy pre
sure will be brought against
them I
This will Interfere with oper
tions of organized armies but wij

are In a grave position " f

Campus ‘Eyesore’
Needs Trimming
Snider Believes
Editor of the Daily:
Why are certain parts of the
campus the northeast corner for
example theoretically labeled
"Hands Off as fag as care is con-
cerned? The more conspicious portions
are lovely and neat with mowed
lawns clipied shrubbery arid good
walks Why then is the campus
north of the Engine building left
so unsightly?
A brick ath once pleasantly
walknble gapes with missing ston-
es Large bunks of cement rem-
nants of construction are scatter-
ed along the ground Weeds abun-
dant and often waist-high greet
Ihe nature-loving passerby
Power mowers re'asntly cut a neat

of that poor little brick ath Per-
has next time the mowers to-
gether with a few sickles and
wheelbarrows could dispose of the
debris on the other side of the path

8 I Counted 27 Ruf-Ncks at one
football game last fall The fol-
lowing week Carrol McGowan ex-
president of said social organlza-
tion requested 150 tickets to the
'Texas - OU game at Dallas forj
themselves and their dates If I
remember correctly the average
student sat up all night for his
’ticket Therg were 4000 tickets
' for 12000 students
As a member of the student sen-
ate at that time I fought bled and
died on the senate floor The Ruf-
Neks got their tickets without
standing in line but not tickets
for their dates
4 As for the Ruf-fets about all
I remember their doing is borrow-
ing 925000 from the student sen-
ate and not paying it back I must
confess Ed I wrote the bill which
got them the loan She was such

a sweet little thing and she had
an honest face
Now Ed maybe I am wrong —
maybe the student bodv wants the
iep organizations to have the best
seats at ever) game So I am get-
ting up a Ktition which will re-
quire that the matter be put to
student referendum
There were approximately 150
members In these organizations
last fall I wonder how many
members they will have If they
arc given these seats When they
grow to 12000 I wonder who will
divide which member will sit
where in the "Siecial Section"?
