EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. JAMES D. MARTIN
OF ALABAMA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Friday, September 3, 1965
Mr. MARTIN of Alabama. Mr. Speak-
er, under permission to extend my re-
marks in the RECORD I include my re-
port to'my constituents of February 11,
1965:
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE CONSIDERS
APPALACHIA BILL
(Washington Report From Congressman
JIM MARTIN)
The Committee on Public Works, of which
I am member, is considering the Appalachia
bill at the present time. This is one of those
pieces of legislation upon which a Member
of Congress must search the deepest recesses
of his conscience to find the answer as to
how he should vote. One thing is certain,
when a bill comes before the House a Mem-
ber must vote either "Yes" or "No." It is
not possible to say, "Yes, but * * *." There
is no argument with the objectives of the Ap-
palachia bill. All of us are concerned with
the poverty of some of our people. I am
deeply aware that there are those in the 7th
District who are victims of poverty through
no fault of their own. We should and must
find a way to help them.
The problem arises in considering what
the present proposal will do. Congress Is be-
ing asked to vote billions of dollars of your
money to help better the economic condi-
tion of a part of our country. Some of this
money will be spent in our area, in the coun-
ties of the 7th District. Here are some of
the questions in connection with the bill de-
manding an answer:
"How much of the total money will be
spent in Alabama? Will the funds be used
to help those in need or will they be used
Instead as a political slush fund? Are the
funds going to be spent on legitimate proj-
ects which will bring lasting benefits to our
people? How much of the money is going
to States which do not have critical prob-
lems?"
To find answers to these questions I intend
to thoroughly study the bill, take part in its
consideration before my committee where I
will have an opportunity to question its
sponsors and those who will administer it.
Only after such thorough consideration will
I make up my mind on how I Will vote.
Of one thing you may be sure, I will not
use the poverty of some of our people for
political purposes. I will vote my honest
convictions in what I believe to be the best
interest of the people I represent. I shall
report my vote and the reasons for it to
you so that the people will be the final
judges of my action.
ALABAMA DEFENDED
I was proud to be a member of the Ala-
bama delegation in the House last Thurs-
day when we presented a united front In
defense of the, people of Selma and other
communities in our State. For days we had
been reading distorted stories of happenings
in Selma. We were able to put into the
RECORD facts which the people In other sec-
tions of the Nation had not had the chance
to read. We showed that the people of Selma
were making a conscientious effort to obey
the law and that racial tensions and hatreds
were being stirred up by imported agitators
whose main purpose in continuing racial
tensions rather than helping to find proper
solutions to trying problems.
BRIEFS OF THE WEEK
A startling exposure of Soviet piracy was
made this week by Prof. John Isaacs, direc-
tor of the Scripps marine life research pro-
gram. He disclosed that a Navy radar picket
ship chased a Russian fishing trawler away
from an anchored buoy 150 miles off the
coast of San Diego. The Russians had
stripped the buoy of instruments. This was
not the first case of such, piracy. The Rus-
sians know we are ahead of them 14 learn-
ing the secrets of the sea, and a shortcut to
catching up is to frisk our research buoys
and steal our equipment.
Here are some facts on spending during
the last 4 years of Democrat administration:
1961, spending $99.5 billion or $2.3 billion
more than was received; 1962, spending
$107.7 billion or $5.8 billion more than was
received; 1963, spending $113.8 billion or
$4.1 billion more than was received; 1964,
$120.3 billion or $4.8 billion more than was
received. The outlook for fiscal 1965 is for
spending $121.3 billion or $4 billion more
than will be taken in, and the forecast for
1966 is spending amounting to $127.4 bil-
lion with an additional $4 billion deficit.
Yet we are being told this is a frugal admin-
istration.
I am happy to report that my wife, Pat, is
enjoying an active part in the political life
of Washington. She was elected as treas-
urer of the 89th Congress Club, an organi-
zation of the wives of Members who. were
newly elected in Novemper.
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. J. ARTHUR YOUNGER
OF CALIFORNIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Friday, September 3, 1965
Mr. YOUNGER. Mr. Speaker, Col-
umnist Arthur Hoppe has written two re-
recent columns covering his views on cur-
rent subjects-the peace feelers for the
settlement of the Vietnam war and the
personal relationship between the Presi-
dent and the Vice President. The latter
column appeared on August 31 in the
San Francisco Chronicle and the other
one appeared on September 1. The
columns follow:

Sept. 1, 1965]
A NEW RECORD IN PEACE FEELING
(By Arthur Hoppe)
Some confusion has cropped up about the
number of peace feelers we have made in
Vietnam. Several administration officials
claim we have made 15. Others are using
the figure 23. A State Department janitor
thought it was 47. And President Johnson
keeps saying "countless."
Actually, the discrepancies over the num-
ber of peace feelers is due to the inevitable
delay in processing our claims by the Inter-
national Peace Feeler Certification Commit-
tee (IPFCC) in Geneva, Switzerland. The
text of an exclusive interview with Herr Doc-
tor T. Homer Pettibone, executive director
of the committee, will perhaps clarify the
situation.
Question. It is your responsibility, Herr
Doctor, to certify peace feelers?
Answer. Yes, and a grave responsibility it
is. All nations, as you know, contend they
are more peace loving than all other nations.
In a crisis, each invariably claims it has
extended more peace feelers than the other.
In each case we examine the facts and, if
circumstances warrant, certify that it is a
genuine peace feeler-either an official, a
semiofficial or an unofficial peace feeler.
Question. You have three classes of peace
feelers then?
Answer. Indeed. There is also class four,
trial balloons, and class five, unadulterated
hogwash. You'd be surprised how many
class five certificates we issue.
Question. What of the delay In certifying
American peace feelers In Vietnam?
Answer. Frankly, some American peace
feelers have been difficult to classify. Take
the American vice consul in Kuala Lumpur
who suggested to the British cultural attache
who shopped at the supermarket across the
street from the Polish Embassy that he
casually inquire of the Yugoslavian butler
what concessions the North Vietnamese
would make If they were hit daily with 50-
pound instead of 500-pound bombs.
Question. Certainly those aren't trial
balloons.
Answer. Perhaps not. But what of the
State Department aid in Bechuanaland
who actually patted a visiting Red Chinese
technician on the back? On the surface, a
genuine unofficial peace feeler. But we were
forced to rule it a case of mistaken identity.
As the State Department does not recognize
Red Chinese.
Question.. A shame.
Answer. Yes. A more moving case before
us is the White House official who threw a
bottle in the Potomac carrying the message:
"Whoever finds this, let's negotiate." The
committee agreed it was typical of current
American policy In Vietnam-warm, sincere,
and unclassifiable..
Question. Is a compromise possible, Herr
Doctor?
Answer. Well, we did consider lumping all
American claims together and awarding a
single certificate for a new world's record in
long-distance, marathon peace feeling. But
in the end we regretfully rejected them all
as uncertifiable.
Question. Good heavens, you mean they
were bogus?
Answer. Oh, no. It was a dedicated and
bold assault on the peace feeling record.
Indeed, never have so many felt so much
for so few. But to date, unfortunately, no-
body has ever got felt.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - APPENDIX September 3, 1965
As we join up with of Elble tonight he
and his pretty wife, Birdie-Bird, are just
a-settin' down to a hand of bridge with the
man he loves and trusts above all others,
the man he elevated to the second highest
office in the land, the unforgettable fighting
moderate, Hubert Horatio Whatshis-name.
Making a fourth is Mrs. Whatshername.
HUBERT (holding Elbie's chair). Well, well,
and how are you feeling tonight, sir?
ELBIE. Always thinking of yourself. Don't
forget that I gave you your job. I gave you
fame and power. I made your name a house-
hold word. And don't you forget it, Homer.
HUBERT. It's Hubert, air.
ELBIE. There you go, always trying to get
your name mentioned. And Speaking of ths6t,
didn't I see your name in the paper this
morning. That's twice in 6 months, Herbert.
HUBERT (blanching). Honest, sir; it was an
accident. A traffic accident. I ran over a
little old lady and a reporter with an en-
cyclopedic memory recognized my name.
E'LBIE. Well, don't let it happen again.
There's no room for publicity seekers around
here. The papers only got so much space.
Now, let's see. You shuffle them Birdie-
Bird. That's it, shuffle them good. And you
cut, Higbert. That's right, cut them a couple
of times. And I'll deal. Hmmm. I reckon
I'll. take these 13 cards here and, you folks
cars divvy up the rest, fair and square.
HUBER'r. Gee, that's a fine deal, air. Would
you like to bid now?
ELBIE. Seven no-trump.
EIUBERT. Gosh, that's a brilliant bid, sir.
And I haven't even seen your hand.
Mrs. WHATSHER.NAMEi. I'm afraid I'll have
to daub: Ouch.
HUBERT. She passes too, sir.
ELBIE. A fine woman.. You may all be seated
now. And I'll just lead this little of king
of hearts here.
HUBERT. A marvelous lead, air. I'll just
have to play my little old three of hearts.
Whoops.
ELBIE (thunderstruck). You played the ace.
HUBERT(pale and trembling). Honest, sir.
It was an accident. 'I strategically planned
to eat the ace later when you weren't look-
ing. I reached for the three, but my hands
were all sweaty and--
ELBIE. Another accident? Hmmm. I al-
ways said, Hirschel, that your eyes were set
mighty close together.
HUBERT (pleading). Oh, please don't say
you don't trust me, air. I'll kill myself.
ELBIE. What? And get your name in the
papers? You wouldn't dare.
Can Hubert find happiness in humble ob-
scurity? If he knows what's good for him?
Tune in to our next episode, folks. And
meantime, as you mosey on down the trail
of life, remember what Elbie's of grandaddy
used to say:
"Happy is the humble man who don't
expect a great deal. But he ain't near as
happy as the dealer."

'Tasks of Teachers and Trustees
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
HON. JOHN BELL WILLIAMS
OF MISSISSIPPI
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, August 30, 1965
Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. Speaker, I would
like to commend to my colleagues the
remarks made recently by Mr. C. H. King,
vice president, board of trustees, of the
Jackson Public Schools. Mr. King spoke
on the subject, "Tasks of Teachers and
Trustees," and I think excellently defined
some of the items of hard work which
are required of teachers and adminis-
trators.
Under leave to extend my remarks I
include the address:
TASKS OF TEACHERS AND TRUSTEES
(An address made to the professional staff,
Jackson Public Schools, Mississippi State
Coliseum, Jackson, Miss., Aug. 30, 1965,
by O. H. King, vice president, board of
trustees).
r
This preschool meeting of the professional
staff of the Jackson Public Schools affords
the board of trustees a few moments to greet
you collectively and to welcome you as you
go to your important posts of duty that will
combine to give this school district a well-
regarded program of public education for
more than 38,000 pupils and adults.
As a corps of educators, more than 1,500
in strength, you bring nearly 16,000 years of
teaching experience to your tasks. For this
talented and skilled know-how to be em-
ployed for an average of 9 calendar months,
citizens of this district and State have obli-
gated themselves to remunerate you in the
total sum of $8 million.
All of you are graduates of recognized col-
leges and universities. Many of you hold
postgraduate degrees. Numbers of you have
reinforced your education further and have
made more preparation for your work
through extensive travel or by work experi-
ence that adds to or sharpens up your pro-
fessional competence.
II
At the outset I wish to emphasize that
the board of trustees takes great pride in
the caliber of the professional staff of the
Jackson Public Schools and in your effective-
ness as teachers and principals. We recog-
nize that numerous demands are made upon
you. We know of your personal desire to be
adequate to every call. Aside from your work
in classrooms and in school offices we know,
too, there are conferences, departmental
meetings, in-service education activities,
faculty meetings, committee work, parent-
teacher meetings, clinics, workshops, and
other sessions that make a bid for your time.
I am certain these are so regular and in-
sistent that you reach the place where you
almost cry out for time to teach and to pre-
pare for teaching. Yet as remote from your
immediate responsibility as some of these
demands may appear to be, how can you be
an effective educational team member unless
you counsel, or share, learn, and participate
with your colleagues and with others in this
common enterprise?
You have not complained. To the con-
trary your enthusiasm and determination to
do your work even better have marked you
as teachers to be admired and respected far
and near.
May I comment that school board mem-
bers have extra demands made upon their
time, too? Did, you know that in the past 5
years, which is the term of office of a school
board member in this State, that your school
board met 190 times? And because we have
wanted to see you at work we visited a school
every week of each school session, totaling
180 visits In these 5 years. And we have had
to read reports, studies, school publications,
proposals, laws, petitions, recommendations,
contracts, periodicals on school management,
bulletins, court decrees, and memoranda by
the reams, it seems, that relate to the op-
eration and administration of these public
schools that we serve. We have suspicioned
that our central office staff operates a special
press just to keep us reading and studying
reports of your work. All of these materials
and documents we have had to appraise, or
seek more information, debate, and make de-
cisions as they affect you and your work.
This is the nature of our extra work-our
in-service education, our faculty meetings,
our workshops, our PTA meetings, our home-
work-all of which we have done along with
our basic work of making a livelihood in
spare time. So I submit that trustees are
understanding with you and appreciate the
fact that there is more to a public school
assignment than in what ones major duty
seems to be.
Your wonderful spirit and great energy in-
spire us, and we are determined that we shall
represent all of you and all of our children
to the very best of our ability in the manage-
ment of this excellent school system.
Your unspoken but sensed support and
understanding come to us from your warm
handclasps, or from your friendly glances.
They disclose to us your good will and dedi-
cation to this undertaking, and they sustain
us in our work as your school trustees and
