Dear Senator Hayden;
I was indeed interested in the many tributes paid you
by your friends and colleagues in the snat yesterday.
Your record of service in the Congress of the United
Staten for a period of fifty years is truly remarkable. The
assistance and guidance which you have given this Agency
over the years have been mast helpful and are deeply apprecia-.
teed.
I should like to join those who have congratulated you
on your accornplislun.nts and to extend my personal best
wishes for the future.
Sincerely,
John A. McCone

the struggle with communism we can-
not safely concentrate only on its mili-
tary aspects and our hot war defenses,
leaving our cold war ramparts essentially
disorganized and inadequately guarded.
The Congress, too, should give atten-
tion to its organization and procedures
which need revising so that cold war
responsibilities may be pinpointed rather
than diffused. It is my intention to
make legislative recommendations in
this regard at a later time.
THE HONORABLE CARL HAYDEN
The SPEAKER. Under previous order
of the House, the gentleman from Ari-
zona [Mr. MORRIS K. UDALLI- is recog-
nized for 30 minutes.
Mr. MORRIS K. UDALL. Mr.
Speaker, 50 years ago last Wednesday
my State, the State of Arizona, ended a
40-year quest for statehood. Through-
out those decades, statehood was op-
posed by men as eminent as Daniel
Webster who once described the territory
of Arizona as a barren wasteland cov-
ered only by shifting sands and popu-
lated only by prairie dogs and rattle-
snakes. Five days later-5 days after
February 14, 1912, on another Monday,
a young man about 35 years old got off a
train here in Washington and took the
oath of office as U.S. Congressman from
Arizona. He is still here today. That
man is Senator CARL HAYDEN, senior Sen-
ator from the State of Arizona. Today
is an historic event. It is historic be-
cause this is the first time in the history
of the U.S. Congress that any Member
has ever completed one-half century of
service. There have been several Mem-
bers who have come close to this mile-
stone, but no other Representative or
Senator has ever achieved this record of
service. I am proud that a Member
from my State, which until 2 years ago
was the baby State in the Union, was the
one to do it. It has been estimated that
some 4,000 Senators and Representatives
have come and gone in the years since
CARL HAYDEN first took his seat. He
served under three Speakers in the
House of Representatives-Champ
Clark, of Missouri, Frederick Gillett, of
Massachusetts, and Nicholas Longworth,
of Ohio-prior to his election to the Sen-
ate in 1927.
There are only five Members of this
body now serving who served with CARL
HAYDEN when he was a Member of the
House of Representatives. Those are

SON], the gentleman from New York [Mr.
CELLERI, the gentleman from Missouri

educated in the public schools of Tempe,
the Normal School of Arizona, and went
on to Stanford University. He was a
delegate to the Democratic National
Convention in 1904. He was elected
treasurer of Maricopa County in 1904 in
territorial days, and sheriff of the county
in 1906 and again in 1908. I might add
that his history spans an amazing period
of years. Here is a man who rode a
horse, who carried a gun as a county
sheriff in the territorial days of Arizona,
and who has lived through the develop-
ment of the automobile, the airplane, and
into these troubled days we now live in.
Upon the admission of Arizona to
statehood, he was elected to the 62d Con-
gress. He was reelected seven times to
this body and served until March 3, 1921.
He was elected to the U.S. Senate in
1926, and was reelected in 1932, 1938,
1944, 1950, and 1956.
ened our way of life. We have met these
challenges and thereby refined our struc-
ture of government better to serve the
people. As Burke said:.
A State without the means of some change
is without the means of its conservation.
CARL HAYDEN knew this, and as a Rep-
resentative and later a Senator, he played
an important part in effecting the
changes necessary to meet the chal-
lenges of the 20th century.
Today, when younger men born in this
century-in fact, I was born 10 years
after he first came to Congress-want to
return us to the mythical world of the
19th century, CARL HAYDEN, who has a
right to speak for that century, is a lead-
er in advocating the changes dictated
by the era in which we live. I am proud
to serve with a man who has kept pace
with our history as CARL HAYDEN has
done.

interesting to talk to. I think it is a
-fine thing for the House to take a little
time today to honor CARL HAYDEN on the
anniversary of his first service in the
Congress of the United States and I pay
my most sincere tributes to him.
Mr. MARTIN of Massachusetts. Mr.
Speaker, it is indeed a privilege. and a
pleasure to join in the tribute to my good
friend Senator CARL HAYDEN. I first be-
'came acquainted with him when I was a
freshman Member of the House, 37 years
ago, when he was serving his State in
the House. During that term, there de-
veloped between us a friendship that has
endured through these many years.
What a singularly remarkable record
Senator HAYDEN has achieved! A half
century of service to his fine State, which
he has represented with great ability
and distinction ever since it was admit-
ted to the Union. He has been a credit
to the Nation, to Arizona, and to the
Congressilongger than any other man in
history. He has been a powerful voice
for a sound Government and he has
saved the country billions of dollars
through his careful scrutiny of Govern-
ment spending.
There could be no greater tribute to
the capacity and the integrity of an
elected official than the fact that the
people of his State have elected and re-
elected him ever since it attained state-
hood. As CARL HAYDEN begins'his sec-
ond half century of service, I wish him
continued good health, happiness, and
success in the work to which his life has
been so zealously dedicated.
Mr. GARY. Mr. Speaker, I desire to
join with my colleagues in the House in
Mr. REUSS. Mr. Speaker, I have in-
troduced today for appropriate reference
House Concurrent Resolution 425, ex-
pressing the sense of Congress' that a
parliamentary conference of the 20 mem-
ber nations of the new organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development
be established. This resolution calls
upon the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs and the Senate Committeee on
Foreign Relations to establish special
subcommittees for the purpose of joint-
ly exploring, with appropriate officials of
the Government of the United States,
the OECD, and members of the parlia-
ments of the other member nations, the
desirability and feasibility of such a
conference.
WHY A PARLIAMENTARY CONFERENCE?
Such a parliamentary conference will
provide a valuable adjunct, at the legis-
lative level, to the OECD. The sessions
of the NATO Parliamentarians Confer-
ence, and of our parliamentary confer-
ences with Mexico and Canada, have
been markedly successful.
A parliamentarians' group is most es-
sential in the case of OECD because of
the clear intent in the discussions setting

all the 50 years of its statehood. A half
a century of dynamic growth, the ex-
pansion of a western territory with
scant population into a rich and mighty
State, all personified in the man who
appeared before us on Sunday's TV,
Senator CARL HAYDEN, the legislative
architect of the destiny of the great
State that came into statehood 35 years
after his birth.
CARL HAYDEN will live in, the history of
the United States. He will be an in-
spiration to succeeding generations. All
who saw him yesterday on TV were bet-
ter Americans for having found in this
man who had accomplished so much for
his State, his Nation, and mankind a
pattern of modesty and of humility in
the best traditions of our Republic.
His appearance on TV was as refresh-
ing as the breezes of a perfect day, as
wholesome as the clear, clean winds that
blow away the clouds.
Mr. Speaker, I think that my sister,
living in Arizona in territorial years and
during the 50 golden years of statehood,
would not mind my repeating what she
wrote me, that having voted for CARL
HAYDEN in all the elections in Arizona
for a half a century, she hoped to con-
tinue doing so for at least another quar-
ter of a century. And as Senator HAYDEN
said, when asked if he would be a candi-
date for reelection, "Why not?"
ing on any individual member nation
until it has complied with the require-
ments of its own constitutional proce-
dures. In the United States this would,
of course, involve the Congress or at least
the Senate. it is thus important that
Members of Congress have an opportu-
nity to discuss and deliberate on these
problems while solutions and decisions
are in the formative stage. A parlia-
mentary conference would provide just
such an opportunity.
THE NEED FOR CONGRESSIONAL PARTICIPATION
It is particularly important to the
Members of Congress to have a parlia-
mentarian's group because of the differ-
ent nature of the systems of Govern-
ment in the United States and the other
member countries. While the Cabinet
members and Ministers who attend the
OECD official meetings as delegates from
the European countries and Canada are
almost always members of their nation's
legislatures, our delegates are not. This
is because of our historic tradition of
separation of powers, based on the con-
stitutional prohibition that no Member
of Congress can hold a position in the
executive branch. The European tradi-
tion is just the opposite. In some coun-
tries, the entire cabinet must come from
the legislature.
Mr. Speaker, I approved enthusias-
tically of U.S. participation in the OECD

Solutions to all their problems must
have as their underpinnings an ac-
companying policy of mutual support
against payments crises. The countries
of the free world today hold their mone-
tary reserves partly in gold and partly in
convertible currencies. The great bulk
held in currencies is in the form of either
dollars or pounds sterling.
Monetary reserves are necessary be-
cause no country can have a continuous
balance in its international transactions
with the rest of the world. The amounts
needed increase as trade expands and,
particularly, as it becomes ever easier to
transfer money freely from one country
to another. When a country's payments
exceed its receipts over a period as long
as a year, its balance of payments is said
to be in deficit.
Until the mid-1950's, the United States
held to a deliberate policy of incurring
deficits so that the rest of the free world
could buy from us and also build their
own monetary reserves. Since 1958, we
have had larger deficits, but for a variety
of reasons. For one thing, while we have
almost always sold more goods to others
than we have bought from them, this
merchandise trade surplus narrowed in
some years. At the same time, we con-

defense and for foreign aid. In 1960-61,

active outdoor sports-sailing, waterskiing,
tennis, horseback riding, touch football, and
the like.
"Just the other day," Baughman explained
with a grin, "we had to buy a bicycle for one
of our agents in Hyannis Port. Caroline had
been soloing on her new bicycle and we
couldn't have the agent running alongside
on foot or trailing her in a limousine.
"If we had the permanent summer White
House that I've been dreaming about, it
would give our First Families the privacy and
security they need, plus just about every
kind of recreational facility they could want.
"Ideally, it would be located on the sea-
coast about 200 miles from Washington, an
easy range for our new, fast helicopters. The
main residence would be a small replica of
the White House, fully equipped with world-
wide communications.
SECURITY SHUFFLEBOARD
"As I see it, the entire estate would cover
an area of about 9 square miles-3 miles on
each side-fronting on the ocean. The
whole grounds would be a security area, but
within it there would be a small, tight secu-
rity area for the First Family; containing
the official residence, offices, private beach
and boating facilities, swimming pool, tennis
courts, shuffieboafid, and even a bailfleld.
"There also would be an 18-hole golf course
on the estate, a big lake, riding paths, picnic
areas, anything you could think of except
maybe mountain climbing.
"And, of course, there would be appropriate
quarters for visiting dignitaries, the White
House staff and press, an auditorium for
movies add news conferences, and under-
ground utilities and parking.
"Security would be relatively simple, since
there would be only one access road to the
grounds and a 300-foot watchtower equipped
with radar and television cameras to scan
the whole area day and night.
"But let's not forget," Chief Baughman
added, "that the permanent summer White
House, like 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in
Washington, would belong to all the Ameri-
can people. I think there should be 50 sum-
mer cottages, one for each State in the
Union, built along the ocean front.
"That way, each State could send out-
standing families or individuals who have
performed exceptional public service for
2-Week vacations on the summer White
House grounds. They would have complete
access to and use of all the recreational facili-
ties except those that were within the imme-
diate Presidential compound.
FUNDS FROM THE PEOPLE?
I asked Chief Baughman how much all this
would cost and how it would be paid for.
"Undoubtedly, millions of dollars," he
replied. "But the way I see it, this should
not be a congressional appropriation of
Treasury funds. It should be financed by
public subscription, with every citizen who
is concerned with the health and well-
being of our Presidents contributing what-
ever amount he deems appropriate.
"But please tell Parade's readers not to
send any money to me or the Treasury for
this purpose. It seems to me that the ideal
way would be for some group of private
citizens to obtain official sanction to form a
commission that would raise the necessary
funds."
Today, the summer White House is one'
man's dream. Tomorrow, it may become a
reality. And, who knows, the man who
dreamed it up may one day be called out of
retirement to administer it.
Mr. PELL. Mr. President, the cost of
upkeep of the summer White House
would be negligible. Wherever the Pres-
ident and his family are, there are cer-
tain basic costs that have to be met-
housekeeping, preparation of food, and
the like. But the only additional costs
that would be necessary for the mainte-
nance of this summer White House
would be the mowing of the lawn and the
painting of the house.
This idea, which started with Umberto
Patalano of Providence and Cornelius
Moore of Newport, is a gesture of the re-
gard and affection our citizens have for
the President of the United States and
the wish that President Kennedy and
future Presidents may see fit to come in-
creasingly to our State. It is, in fact,
their putting into effect the idea "Ask
not what your country can do for you,
but what you can do for your country."
Actually other governments already
provide a summer White House for the
chief executive, and over the past week-
end I noticed that the West German
Government was buying a summer resi-
dence for its Ambassador here in Wash-
ington.
I ask unanimous consent that there
be printed in the RECORD at this point
a list of the foreign governments which
maintain summer residences for their
chiefs of state.
There being no objection, the list was
ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as
follows :
Among the other governments maintaining
summer residences are:
..France (for both Premier and President) :
Chateau Ramboullet.
Spain (for Chief of State, the Cabinet, and
Diplomatic Corps) : San 'Sebastian.
Britain (for the Queen (Scotland), for the
Prime Minister) : Balmoral Chequers.
Philippines (for the President) : Baguio.
Iran (for the Shah) : Qasr-Shemiran.
Canada (for the Governor General) :
Citedel (Quebec City).
Italy (two for the President) : Castell
Porziano and San Rossore.
Turkey (for the President) : Florya Kusku.
Lebanon (for the President) : Belt-Ed-
Dien.
Portugal (for the President) : Cidadela de
Cascias.
Republic of China (two for the President) :
Kaohsiung and Taichung.
Pakistan (for the President) : Murree.
Mr. PELL. Mr. President, with these
facts in mind, I sincerely hope that Sec-
retary Udall may see fit to recommend to
the White House acceptance of this free
gift offering from the people of the State
of Rhode Island. By fortunate coinci-
dence the Secretary of the Interior is in
the Chamber at this time. I hope he will
take cognizance of these words.
TRIBUTES TO SENATOR HAYDEN, OF
ARIZONA, ON THE 50TH ANNIVER-
SARY OF HIS SERVICE IN THE
U.S. CONGRESS
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, this
is a momentous day in the history of
the United States of America. In this
morning's New York Times there appears
an article, written by Russell Baker, part
of which I should like to read at this
time, because it shows an excellent.un-
derstanding of a`man whom we all honor
and love. I quote from the article:
WASHINGTON, February 18.-Tomorrow
will be a day of severe inner trial for Senator
CARL HAYDEN, of Arizona.
His name is going to be prominently dis-
played in the newspapers, and that, in the
HAYDEN philosophy of politics, is bad.
2185
In the afternoon, he is going to- have to
spend a lot of time sitting on the Senate
floor listening to a lot of talk. Public talk,
in the Hayden philosophy of politics, is one
so much had as an utter and absolute waste
of good working time. ("Who wants to lis-
ten to a tirade?" he once asked a man who
said the Senator ought to make a speech
once in awhile in deference to tradition.)
Tomorrow, however, Mr. HAYDEN will have
to listen because the talk is going to be about
him. The occasion is the 50th anniversary
of his coming to Congress.
No previous Member in history has served
so long. Few have attained the status of
living institution that Mr. HAYDEN enjoys
among his colleagues.
Fewer still have done so much with so
little talk.
Above all, Mr. President, he is a Sen-
ator's Senator.
I ask unanimous consent that at the
conclusion of my remarks this article
published in the New York Times be
inserted in the RECORD; as well as a copy
of the transcript of the "Washington
Conversation" program as broadcast over
the CBS Television network yesterday.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr.

Mr. MANSFIELD. The TV appearance
of our distinguished President pro tem-
pore yesterday was an outstanding suc-
cess. My wife, who was also watching
the telecast, commented several times
that Senator HAYDEN is a humble man.
Humility sometimes is the mark of great-
ness.
Mr. President, as I stated earlier, this
is a momentous day in our history. It
is my honor to inform the Senate that
we celebrate today the 50th anniversary
of the commencement of service in the
U.S. Congress of our beloved President
pro tempore, CARL HAYDEN.
On February 19, 1912, CARL, HAYDEN,
until shortly before that sheriff of Mari-
copa County, Ariz., took his seat in the
House of Representatives as the first
Congressman from the new State. More
than a month later, on April 2, 1912,
Arizona's first Members of this body-
Henry Ashurst and Marcus Smith-took
their places in the Senate.
Representative HAYDEN had been
helped into office, he says, by a number
of sheriffs with whom he had exchanged
prisoners in his extensive travels through
the Arizona Territory. They formed a
highly effective Hayden organization-
the first of a long, succession of such that
were to support him in seven succeed-
ing congressional elections and in six
contests for the Senate.
On February 19, 1912, the Speaker of
the House was Champ Clark, of Mis-
souri, later that year to be an unsuccess-
ful candidate for the Democratic nom-
ination against Woodrow Wilson. In
the House at that time were men like
Oscar Underwood, of Alabama; Joseph"
Cannon, of Illinois; Pat Harrison, of
Mississippi; George Norris, of Nebraska;
Cordell Hull, of Tennessee; and Carter
Glass, of Virginia. These men would
make their mark on American history in
the decades to come, either in Congress
or in the executice branch. But none of
the Members of the House in the 62d
Congress would build a more enduring

monument of service to the American
people than CARL HAYDEN.
This fair, wise, and kindly man has
always used his great power with re-
straint. He is a living refutation of
Acton's famous dictum that power tends
to corrupt. In CARL HAYDEN, power has
been associated with responsibility and
tempered by humility. He has through-
out his career displayed the same open-
ness and candor with junior Members of
this body, with the staff of the Senate,
and with the public at large as he has
with other men of great position in Gov-
ernment. There is not an ounce of false
pride or cant in him.
Senator HAYDEN has been called a liv-
ing link between the frontier and mod-
ernAmerica. He bears within him, as he
performs his responsibilities in 1962, the
generous and hardy spirit of the pioneer
West.
Now he has completed 50 years of re-
sponsible service to the democracy. His
is the longest congressional career since
the First Congress, in 1789. It is also one
of the noblest. May we have him here
with us for years to come.

SENATOR HAYDEN, 84, WILL MARK HALF-
CENTURY IN CONGRESS TODAY-DEMOCRAT
FROM ARIZONA HAS SERVED LONGER IN CAPI-
TAL THAN ANY OTHER MAN
(By Russell Baker)
WASHINGTON, February 18.-Tomorrow will
be a day of severe inner trial for Senator
CARL HAYDEN, of Arizona.
His name is going to be prominently dis-
played in the newspapers, and that, in the
Hayden philosophy of politics, is bad.
In the afternoon, he is going to have to
spend a lot of time sitting on the Senate
floor listening to a lot of talk. Public talk,
in the Hayden philosophy of politics, is not
so much bad as an utter and absolute waste
of good working time. ("Who wants to
listen to a tirade?" he once asked a man who
said the Senator ought to make a speech
once in awhile in deference to tradition.)
Tomorrow, however, Mr. HAYDEN will have
to listen because the talk is going to be
about him. The occasion is the 50th anni-
.versary of his coming to Congress.
No previous Member in history has served
so long. Few have attained the status of
living institution that Mr. HAYDEN enjoys
among his colleagues.
Fewer still have done so much with so
little talk.
In Arizona, Senator HAYDEN is an institu-
tion roughly on a par with the Grand Can-
yon. He entered the House on February 19,
1912, as Arizona's only Representative, just
5 days after the State was admitted to the
Union.
Over the years, the power and prerogatives
of seniority have silently elevated him to
the small circle of first-rank Senators whose
support is essential for Senate success and
whose opposition may be fatal. As the Sen-
ate's oldest Democrat-he holds the office
of President pro tempore, which makes him
third in succession to the Presidency after
the Speaker of the House.
He sits on the Democratic policy commit-
tee and the Senate Committee on Rules and
Administration, which runs the place, and is
chairman of the Joint Congressional Com-
mittee on Printing, which controls every
Congressman's access to the Government
printing presses.
Most important of all,'he is chairman of
the Senate Appropriations Committee, the
supreme goal of all Senators because it con-
trols the purse strings to the Treasury.
What is remarkable in all this is that, for one of the few Members who did not act as
all his power, Senator HAYDEN is virtually if he were beneath contempt."
unknown to the American public. Whipper- "You were nice to me," Mr. HAYDEN said
snappers without one-tenth of his power in later during a campaign encounter with the
the Senate have strutted and pranced across Senator in Arizona. "You treated me like a
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -SENATE, February .19
the front pages to glory or doom while Mr. normal human being."
HAYDEN has quietly secured his position by
unobtrusively doing his duty for party and
Arizona. Above all, he is a Senator's Senator.
Never a man to stake out strong ideological
positions, he has left Arizona covered with
monuments to his effectiveness at combining
party regularity with backroom know-how.
Dam and reservoirs, power transmission lines,
great highways that make the State a tourist
center of the West, airports and military
bases, thousands of acres of fertile land
blooming in the desert with Federal irriga-
tion projects-these are the legacy his acu-
men has left to Arizona.
In view of the performance record, even
the conservatives who like the ideology of
his Republican junior colleague, BARRY GOLD-
WATER, have found it hard to develop any
rancor over Mr. HAYDEN'S consistent loyalty
to the New Deal and Fair Deal and President
Kennedy's New Frontier.
Senator HAYDEN comes from pioneer Ari-
zona stock. His father, Charles Trumbull
Hayden, a Yankee trader whose forbears'
came from England in 1630, set up business
in Tucson in 1848. The Senator was born in
Hayden's Ferry (now Tempe) in the Arizona
Territory.
Educated at Stanford, he entered politics
shortly after the turn of the century as
sheriff of Maricopa County.. The Senator's
memories of this period' afford small suste-
nance for devotees of old West tales.
Once he caught a pair of train robbers
after pursuing them in an Apperson Jack-
rabbit, an early automobile.
"The nearest I ever came to using a gun,"
he said recently, was an occasion when he
heard that "a notorious horsethief who was
badly wanted in Colorado and Utah, had
turned up in Phoenix.
Sheriff Hayden found his man drinking
at a bar. "It was evident that he had a
pistol under his coat in his hip pocket," he
said. "I stuck my gun in his back, told
him to throw up his custody."
"It turned out that Colorado and 'Utah
did not want the man badly enough to go get
him, so the sheriff turned him'loose.
"I told him I did not mind * * * Ari-
zona," Mr. Hayden recalled. "He didn't."

Guest: The Honorable CARL HAYDEN, U.S.
Senate (Democrat, of Arizona).
Host: Paul Niven.
Producer: Michael J. Marlow.
ANNOUNCER. Join us now for a "Washing-
ton Conversation" with a man who came to
the Nation's Capital exactly 50 years ago, and
on February 19, 1912, was sworn in as a Mem-
ber of Congress-CARL HAYDEN, Democrat, of
Arizona.
The CBS Television network presents
"Washington Conversation," an attempt to
sketch in some of the details of one of the
most influential men in the Congress of the
United States-a different approach to the
private mind and public philosophy of an
84-year-old "Senators' Senator." In 1912,
when CARL HAYDEN first came to Washington
William Howard Taft was President and
HAYDEN was starting out as Arizona's first
and only Representative in Washington.
Today we invite you to meet this man who
has served his State and his country for over
one half a century-Senator CARL HAYDEN.
Your host for this informal, unrehearsed
"Washington Conversation"-prerecorded on
video tape in our studio conference room-is
CBS News Correspondent Paul Niven.
Mr. Niven. .
Mr. NIVEN. So, Senator HAYDEN, it was 50
years ago this weekend you arrived to take
your seat in Congress. What was Washing-
ton like in those days? What were your im-
pressions when you got off the train? Do
you remember?
Senator HAYDEN. I had been here before.
It appeared about the same. It really was
not nearly the busy town that it was. You
traveled by streetcar, of course. And, I rode
to the end of all the lines here just to kind of
orient myself.
Mr. NIVEN. You first came here about 1890
when you were 13, I think?
Senator HAYDEN. Yes.
Mr. NIVEN. Is it true you climbed a pole in
front of the White House?.
Senator HAYDEN. As a small boy I wanted
canard, he insists. The myth has grown
out of firm policy adopted shortly after he
came to Congress.
At that time, an oldtimer advised him
that Congressmen came in two varieties: the
"work horse" and the "show horse." Work
horses get along; show horses got the head-
lines but usually failed to last long.
Mr. HAYDEN chose to become a work horse.
He avoids publicity. There are aging mem-
bers of the Senate Press Gallery who can-
not recall ever hearing him make a floor
speech proper.
There is a story told by President Kennedy
that on first coming to the Senate he sat
beside Mr. HAYDEN one day and, to make
conversation, asked about the difference be-
tween the modern Senate and the Senate
of 30 years before.
"Young men didn't talk so much then,"
Mr. HAYDEN is said to have answered.
Young men for the last two decades, how-
ever, have found the Senator from Arizona an
invaluable friend and guide to the arcane
ways of the Senate when first trying to ad-
just to it.
One piece of testimony comes from former
President Harry S. Truman. When he en-
tered the Senate labeled with the brand of
the Pendergast machine in Kansas City, Mo.,
Mr. Truman once said, "Senator HAYDEN was
Army of the Republic, that was being held
at that time, and I climbed up on one of
the gate posts in front of the White House
and saw the old veterans go by.
Mr. NIVEN. They were then-they were not
really old men, were they, in 1890? I sup-
pose they were getting on.
Senator HAYDEN. They were-
Mr. NIVEN. In their sixties, perhaps.
Senator HAYDEN. Yes, in their sixties.
Mr. NIvEN. Senator, I understand that
your mother began calling -you "the Sen-
ator" when you were a very small boy. Is
that true, and how did it happen?
Senator HAYDEN. I don't remember that
myself but there is a story to that effect.
Mr. NIVEN. It is a legend.
You, or your family had come from Con-
necticut, your father had come from Con-
necticut-
Senator HAYDEN. My father was a native
of Connecticut and my mother a native of
Arkansas.
Mr. NIVEN. And you were the first white
child born in the city of Hayden's Land-
ing, weren't you?
Senator HAYDEN. It is Hayden's Ferry.
Mr. NIvEN. Hayden's Ferry, pardon.
Senator HAYDEN. Yes. My father estab-
lished the ferry there and a flour mill way
back about 1872 and I wasn't born until
1877.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD 7- SENATE
Mr. NIVEN. You were never tempted?
Senator HAYDEN. NO.
Mr. NIVEN. Never did play at all?
Senator HAYDEN. No. Oh, I don't mean to
say I haven't put four bits on a wheel, or
something like that, but to be a gambler-
no.
Mr. NIVEN. When you first came to the
Congress, was the work of the Congress much
simpler, much easier than it is now?
Senator HAYDEN. Oh, yes; because the
Government did not have as many activities.
I can illustrate that by a statement made
to me by Governor Shallenberger; he had
been Governor of Nebraska and was a Mem-
ber of the House. He had time to devise the
system whereby y'e established local boards
instead of sending soldiers to get men for
the draft, a local board sends a man to-to
tell the man whether -he was to go or not.
And I asked him how he had time to think
about those things. He said, "Well, you
know, the only Federal interest in my State
at this time is a rural letter carrier."
It's very different now.
Mr. NIVEN. You worked very hard, though,
from the beginning, didn't you, spending
many hours in the Library of Congress do-
ing your own research?
Senator HAYDEN. What I had to do was
*ork on committees that I thought would
help build a territory into a State, and so I'
asked for the Committees on Irrigation of
Arid Lands and Public Lands, Indian Affairs,
Mines and Mining, so that there was always
work to do in that connection, my commit-
tee work.
Mr. NIVEN. And you went on appropria-
tions at a later stage in your Senate
career-
Senator HAYDEN. No. That was after I
came to-
Mr. NIVEN. After you came to the Senate.
Did you go out right onto Appropriations
when you came to the Senate?
Senator HAYDEN. Yes. I had become
chairman of the Committee on Indian Af-
fairs in the House, that appropriated money
for the Indian Bureau at that time, and very
modest appropriations-oh, if we got $12
or $14 million, we were doing very well.
But Senator Pittman, of Nevada, and Sen-
ator King, of Utah, said that our part of
the United States had not had representa-
tion upon their Appropriations Committee
for a long time, and this "South in the sad-
dle" die" didn't go any more and that I must
become a member to represent that area.
And they were inflential enough to fix it
so that I became a member of the Appropri-
ations Committee, but it was a week after I
became a Senator in 1927.
Mr. NIvEN. And Arizona has had a. long in-
ning on the Appropriations Committee
since?
Senator HAYDEN. Yes.
Mr. NIVEN. When you first came here as
a Congressman, did you get any valuable
advice from some of the older members?
Senator HAYDEN. Oh, yes; they were very
kind to me. I inquired about how things
were done, and so on, and they were very
good to me.
I remember one old Congressman from
Missouri gave me some very good advice. I
had been there from February until June
when Congress adjourned and he called me
off and said, "Now, look, you're a Congress-
man and you're going home and you are
supposed to know a lot of things. Actually
you haven't been around here long enough'
to know anything." He said, "If you go '
home and follow the usual method of meet-
ing your friends, go along on the street, go
into the places of business, but if somebody
wants to talk to you about some important
subject, you'll be sorry because you have an
appointment up the street because you'll
soon find out you don't know any more
than he does."
Mr. NIvEN. And all the children that had
been born there before were Indians?
Senator HAYDEN. There was an Indian
community nearby, yes.
Mr. NIVEN. Senator, your first public office
was as sheriff, was it not?
Senator HAYDEN. No. My first public office
was a member of the town council of the
town of Tempe. I served on that for 2
years. Then I served for 2 years as the
county treasurer of Maricopa County; and
then for 7 years I was the sheriff of the
county.
.Mr. NIVEN. Did you carry a .45, as sheriff?
Senator HAYDEN. Yes, for 5 years.
Mr. NIVEN. Ever have to use it?
Senator HAYDEN. No, no-just as a matter
of precaution. I missed it greatly, when I
came to the Senate and to the House, and
a Member said, "Why, if that is all your
trouble, put a couple of doorknobs in your
pocket." [Laughter.]
Mr. NIVEN. You caught a couple of train
robbers in a rather famous posse, didn't you?
Could you tell about that?
Senator HAYDEN. Well, they robbed a train
at Maricopa, tied their horses in the brush
on the Gila River, and the train came up
some distance. Why, they had robbed the
passengers and all. The train came in
the evening, we put our horses on the cattle
cars and went over there the next morning.
I called up some Indian scouts to go along
with us and the sheriff of the adjoining
county came and he wanted to go so I went
in an automobile that waited until one of
the Indians came back and indicated which
way they were going. And, when he did,
we pursued them in an automobile.
I remember it was an Apperson Jackrabbit,
a very popular car in those days. Accom-
panied by the proprietor of a hotel and a
customs officer, I finally caught up with the
party, and we captured the train robbers.
Mr. NIVEN. You had a problem with an
Indian who had three wives, didn't you?
Senator HAYDEN. That is a story told by
Charley Carter about something that hap-
pened in Oklahoma 50 years ago that some-
body erroneously attributed to me. Indians
in Arizona do not have three wives.
Mr. NrvEN. Well, there was another story
which may be erroneous, too, that the local
ladies complained that Indians came into
town in breechclouts and made-got you to
go and tell them to wear trousers. Is that
true?
Senator HAYDEN. There was a city ordi-
nance in Phoenix that required them to put
on their pants before they came into town.
Mr. NrvEN. How did you get your salary
as sheriff?
Senator HAYDEN. Paid quarterly.
Mr. NrvEN. Well, you also collected fees,
didn't you, from saloon keepers?
Senator HAYDEN. Yes. It was principally
a fee office. I would have to go around with
my receipt book and collect for a crap game
or a roulette wheel or poker games and faro
and the saloon itself and any gambling de-
vices there.
Mr. NIvEN. Was there ever any difficulty in
getting these fees?
Senator HAYDEN. Oh, no. They were glad
to pay them, and the protection on that ac-
count. The time of collection'I had decided
would be about 10 or 11 o'clock in the
morning after the old boys had been there
and had their morning's morning and before
they were crowded, and usually after I had
made the collection the bartender 'would in-
vite me to take a drink and I would explain
that I had a rule-nothing before sundown.
Mr. NivEN. Did you ever stop to play, could
the sheriff gamble himself, properly?
Senator HAYDEN. No. I never was inter-
ested in gambling. I saw roulette wheels
from the time I was big enough to stick
my chin up over them and always in my
mind it was the other man's game, you
couldn't beat it.
Mr. NIVEN. How long-how long did it
take you to fully understand the legislative
system? Can you remember?
Senator HAYDEN. Oh, I don't think any-
body fully understands it yet. There are
all kinds of angles to it, you know.
Mr. NIVEN. But I don't imagine after 50
years you are still learning new facets, and-
Senator HAYDEN. Well, there is always
something new turns up.
Mr. NIVEN. There is?
Senator HAYDEN. Yes.
Mr. NIVEN. Extraordinary.
President Kennedy, when he spoke at
your testimonial dinner in Phoenix, quoted
a speech you had made years ago in which
you said, "I know that Congress does not
conduct its business in an efficient manner.
If any corporation had a board of direc-
tors as inefficient as Congress, it would be-
come bankrupt in a year."
Do you still believe that, sir?
Senator HAYDEN. The President reminded
me of something I said a long time ago.
And I hesitate to say that, although it is
true that there are many places in the Gov-
ernment where good business practice would
be very helpful.
Mr. NIVEN. Would you like, do you favor
any particular reforms of the legislative
branch?
Senator HAYDEN. No. Avenues to obtain
information necessary to make appropria-
tions are wide open, you can get anything
you want to know.
Mr. NIVEN. You don't you're not, for in-
stance, among those who say a parliamentary
system would be more effective and more
efficient?
Senator HAYDEN. No, no. I would not. I
like the way the Senate operates.
Mr. NIVEN. It is essential, I suppose, to
geographically-your part of the country
particularly, to Arizona the Federal System
has been very important, isn't that true?
Senator HAYDEN. No more so than any-
where else. The whole point of it is that
the Senate represents States, not the Nation
as a whole. The House is the national body
and of course represents population. We
represent the areas of States, and we also
enjoy freedom of debate. I would never have
been a Senator but for the fact that we had
freedom of debate in the Senate. Oklahoma,
an Indian territory, was admitted, and it was
well known they would be a democratic
State because of that area. To make up for
that the Republicans in Congress wanted to
unite Arizona and New Mexico, and so pro-
vided.
A small group of 'Senators just simply
talked and talked and talked and said, "you
can't do that," and finally they made an-ar-
rangement whereby we would have a sepa-
rate vote in Arizona and New Mexico, and if
either State decided that it didn't want to
join statehood, we would then come in sepa-
rately. Well they voted overwhelmingly for
it in New Mexico and very much against it .
in Arizona so that made it possible for me
to come to Congress. I never could have
been here if it had been one State with New
Mexico.
Mr. NIVEN. After making very few speeches
for the first few years,you engaged in a fili-
buster yourself, didn't you, at one point,
quite an important one?
'Senator HAYDEN. We had a bill to au-
thorize the construction of what was called
the'Boulder Dam, it's now called the Hoover
Dam, built in the administration of Presi-
dent Hoover, and prior to that time they had
negotiated a compact between the States
which related to the distribution of water
and how it should be handled. And, Presi-
dent Hoover was then Secretary of Commerce
and presided over that. Unfortunately Ari-
zona did not ratify the compact, all of the
other States did. Then the other States
made up their mind we couldn't get a drop
of water out of the river until we did ratify

it and in the meantime they proceeded with
the construction of what was known as
Boulder and now Hoover Dam. And of course
we had to resist that and we did success-
fully for about a month in the long session
of Congress. But, in the short session, why
they made it the exclusive unfinished busi-
ness of the Senate and held us right to it so
finally we had to allow a vote, the bill to
come to a vote after we obtained some con-
cessions that we believed to be important.
Mr. NIVEN. It has been said that Arizona
is just a big collection of monuments to CARL
HAYDEN-roads, airports, dams-
Senator HAYDEN. That is an overstatement.
Mr. NrvEN. But you have got quite a few
things for your State over the years.
Senator HAYDEN. Not for Arizona alone.
For example, we have a policy of conserving
water everywhere, not only in Arizona or
anywhere else. It so happened that one
of the first reclamation-the first project un-
der the reclamation law that was passed in
1902 when Mr. Roosevelt was President was
carried out in Arizona, but there have been
many other projects which we have helped
to inaugurate and put into effect.
And, the same way with power develop-
ment and highways. We have been interested
in a national system of highways because-
not for Arizona alone, but so that people
could come to Arizona. We have wonderful
scenery in northern Arizona, the Petrified
Forest and the Grand Canyon. We think
we have the finest winter. climate in Amer-
ica, so that Arizona-a national system of
highways made it accessible to the American
public.
Mr. NIvEN. Well, has your success in get-
ting these things for Arizona and for other
States stemmed mainly from your power as
appropriations chairman or your seniority
or simply your ability to get a lot of-
Senator HAYDEN. It doesn't stem from any
power. If you have a good project, the Con-
gress will adopt it. Nobody has the power
to impose anything on the Congress or
procure the enactment into legislation.
Mr. NrvErr. A lot has been written about
the so-called Senate Club, or the Inner Cir-
cle, the group of, loosely defined informal
group of very influential senior Senators
who-
Senator HAYDEN. That is more or less a
myth.
Mr. NrvEN. It is a myth?
Senator HAYDEN. Yes. There are Senators
that have been there longer and know their
way about, but they don't get off in a hud-
dle and decide what the rest of the'Sena-
tors will do. They wouldn't stand for that.
Mr. NrvrN. Is all legislation, as a Sena-
tor once said, the result of compromise?
Senator HAYDEN. That is exactly what
Champ Clark told me when I first came to
the House. He said: "Young man I want you
to remember, you can't have everything your
own- way. There never was an important
piece of legislation enacted by Congress
which was not the result of compromise."
Mr. NivEN. It has to be.
There is a great suspicion I think in the
country at large of compromise, of logrolling
and of horse trading but isn't this the only
way a country as large as this can govern
itself?
Senator HAYDEN. Champ Clark stated a
fact.
W. NIVEN. Uh-huh. .
Senator HAYDEN. You just don't enact im-
portant legislation except by coming to an
agreement, where there are differences of
opinion.
Mr. NrvEN. And does one Senator go to
another Senator and say "I will join you
on this if you will support me on this?"
Senator HAYDEN. That would be a very
unusual circumstance.
Mr. NIvEN. It would be unusual?
Senator HAYDEN. Yes.
Mr. NxvEN. Is that necessary, would that
necessarily be-
Senator HAYDEN. I don't know, that I.
just-looks like you didn't care anything
about the merits of what you do, and Sen-
ators don't do that.
Mr. NrvEN. Senator, you have been very
famous for avoiding publicity all your life.
Why is that?
Senator HAYDEN. Well, I couldn't see any
advantage in talking a great deal about
something. It's much better to do it and
let the results speak for itself.
Mr. NivEN. It has been said that Senator
HAYDEN detests publicity, distrusts news-
papers, and avoids reporters as if they were
emissaries come direct from Typhoid Mary.
Senator HAYDEN. Well, it's not quite that
bad. But nevertheless, I have considered
that where we had executive sessions and
confidential information that I would not
'spill it and I In that way, of course, avoided
the press because if you don't see them, you
don't have to talk to them.
Mr. NIVEN. And you never held press
conferences.
Senator HAYDEN. Pardon?
Mr. NrvEN. You have never held press con-
ferences, news conferences.
Senator HAYDEN. If I have, they have been
very exceedingly rare.
Mr. NIVEN. How about publicity in Ari-
zona? Surely in an election campaign,
while your opposition has never been very
formidable, seldom been very formidable-
Senator HAYDEN. My whole theory is that-
you do your work and if people inquire of
you about it, you can explain it, if they
don't understand it; but the work speaks
for itself and you don't have to make a
parade.
Mr. NIvEN. Have you worried much at
election time, have you run scared?
Senator HAYDEN. Well, I always feel a little
more confident after all the ballots are cast
and the count begins to favor me.
Mr. NIvEN. You once lost an election in
college, didn't you?
Senator HAYDEN. Yes. I was candidate for
president of the student body at Stanford
University. Herbert Hoover's brother, Theo-
dore Hoover was one candidate, I was
another, and a gentleman by the name of
Diggles. Diggles had a very good organiza-
tion. I had the most votes on the first time
and then we had to run it off, like a Texas
primary, and everybody thought I had run
so well in the first ballot that there was no
question. I went all around over the campus
telling them that Diggles had a good organ-
ization, was getting the votes in and please
come over and vote for me. But I remem-
ber there were at least four students from
Arizona who promised to go but didn't, and
I lost out by. four votes.
Mr. NIvEN. Senator, do you plan to run
for reelection to the Senate this year?
Senator HAYDEN. Why, I answer that ques-
tion always, when the filing times is in July,
that after every time I have been elected
the next day they want to know whether
you are going to run next time and my answer
is "why not."
Mr. NIVEN. Is that your answer now?
Senator HAYDEN. Yes.
Mr. NIVEN. So, in other words, you will be
announcing in the proper time.
Senator HAYDEN. I say "why not?"
Mr. NIvEN. Well, thank you very much,
Senator HAYDEN. It's been a pleasure to
have you with us in this Washington Con-
Senator HAYDEN. Thank you.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, on
behalf of the distinguished Senator from
Illinois [Mr. DIRxsEN], the minority
leader, and myself-and, I am sure, the
other 98 Senators-I submit a resolu-
tion and ask for its immediate consid-
eration.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
resolution will be stated.
The Legislative Clerk read as follows:
Whereas the Honorable CARL HAYDEN, sen-
ior Senator from Arizona, first became a
Member of the House of Representatives on
February 19, 1912, upon the admission of
Arizona as a State of the Union; and
Whereas from such date until March 3,
1927, he continued to serve as a Member of
the House of Representatives from Arizona;
and
Whereas from March 4, 1927, until the
present time, he has served as a United
States Senator from Arizona; and
Whereas during his long and distinguished
career as a Member of Congress, he has been
.admired and respected for his outstanding
ability, courage, and untiring devotion to
duty, and has been loved for his modesty,
sincerity, and understanding; and
Whereas his able and dedicated service as
a Member of Congress has conjributed im-
measurably to the welfare of the peoples of
his State and his Nation; and
Whereas today, the nineteenth day of Feb-
ruary 1962, marks the fiftieth anniversary of
continuous service by the Honorable CARL
HAYDEN as a Member of Congress from the
State of Arizona: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate, in tribute to
his long and distinguished service to his
State and Nation, extends to the Honorable
CARL HAYDEN, senior Senator from Arizona
and beloved President pro tempore of the
Senate, its sincere congratulations and fe-
licitations on this, the fiftieth anniversary
of the commencement of his service as a
Member of Congress, and expresses the fer-
vent wish that the Senate and the Nation
may, for many years to come, continue to
benefit from the wise and capable guidance
and leadership which he has so long and so
generously rendered.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there
objection to the present consideration
of the resolution?
There being no objection, the Senate
proceeded to consider the resolution.
Mr. DIRKSEN. Mr. President, there
is current in the English language a
word which is one of the most useful I
have ever encountered. It is the word
"tradition." It fits everywhere. It has
a rather amorphous meaning, in a sense;
but when one is at a loss for a word, just
insert the word "tradition," and it will
probably fit. But "tradition" does have
a real meaning; and in the history of
this country, by our national tradition,
we think of all the events, all the
achievements, all the personalities, all
the tears, all those things, which con-
join to give us a great and glorious
history.
Tradition would include the Pilgrims
coming to Plymouth Rock and the sacri-
fices of the Puritans. It would include
the War of the Revolution and all its
great exploits. It would include the
Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution. It would include the un-
fortunate?civil strife. It would include
the entry of the great Lone Star State of
Texas into the Union upon her own re-
quest, after that great State had wrested
its own independence from Mexico, and
did not come into the Union particularly
as a suppliant, but actually on equal
ground with the Union. All these things
are included in tradition.
Tradition includes personalities, and
one need only talk of the ghosts that are
in this Chamber or the ghosts that were

in the first Capitol in New York, great
men who have studded the history of the
country with outstanding achievements.
Out of that progress one gets a sense
of continuity; but I think one gets it best
if in our own lifetime there is a great
contemporary statesman whose lifetime
is the equal of one-half of the life of
this Republic.
CARL HAYDEN was born in 1877. I must
say, CARL, that you picked an awfully
unfortunate time; because only 4 years
before, almost to the day; occurred the
panic of Black Friday, in 1873.
I think if it had been up to me to
select a time to be born, I- would not
have asked to be born particularly in
that feverish economic period in our
history. But I think it was a good time
for you. However, if you go back be-
yond that only the length of your own
lifetime, you go' back to 1789, and that
was when the Republic was founded.
So your lifetime has spanned half the
life of the Republic. All we have to do
today is to look closely into your con-
tribution to the Republic, and there we
see a sense of continuity, a picture of
continuity, which gives one a better esti-
mate of our own history.
When we go back to 1877, we think of
all the economic difficulties, the building
of the West, the expansion of the rail-
roads, and the ultimate geographic in-
tegrity of the Union, because six or eight
States were still to be added from then
until now-perhaps more. Nevertheless,
we have witnessed the unfolding of the
Union in its geographic and its economic
sense.
So when I saw you yesterday on the
television program-and may I congrat-
ulate you upon it-I thought of how
quickly so many of the incidents and de-
tails concerning the events through
which you lived have come so rapidly to
pass. If I were to advise any student-on
how best he could obtain a graphic pic-
ture of the development of the Republic,
I should say he could well address him-
self to your lifetime, covering half the
life of the Republic; and there it would
be.
What a pleasure, CARL, it has been to
serve with you; and what a double pleas-
ure it has been to serve, under your be-
nign chairmanship, as a member of the
Committee on Appropriations. I shall
always cherish that experience. You
have contributed much to the Republic,
and you have done it so gracefully and
with a minimum of persuasion.
Mrs. Dirksen remarked, when we were
watching the television program yester-
day: "He has done so much for Arizona.
Has he made so many speeches on the
floor of the House and Senate?" '
I said: "No; his speeches have been
few and far between. What has actually
happened has been that whenever Rep-
resentative CARL HAYDEN or Senator CARL
HAYDEN came before a committee with
a project or any other request for his
State, one could be quite certain that it
was worthy, it was justifiable, and it
needed little persuasion and rhetorical
advancement."
So I count myself singularly fortunate
to have been privileged to serve in this
body with you. I come as a younger per-
son ; but I am always willing, as disciple
and a pupil, to sit at the feet of a master.
I wish we could create and bestow
upon you a title, and call it Senator
emeritus; because if anyone richly de-
serves it, that gentleman is CARL
HAYDEN.
'So, on this notable occasion, I con-
gratulate you.
Mr. RUSSELL. Mr. President, the
Washington Star of this afternoon car-
ries on its front page an article with the
headline "Fifty Years in Congress-
HAYDEN Sets New Record."
Mr. President, the distinguished senior
Senator from Arizona [Mr. HAYDEN] is
the only Member of this body serving
here today who occupied a seat in the
Senate when I first took the oath of of-
fice as a Senator of the United States.
That has been almost 30 years ago. I
can assert without any fear of contra-
diction that in that 30-year period
there has not been a single year when
the distinguished President pro tempore
of the Senate, my good friend, Senator
CARL HAYDEN, has not set new records by
his service here. He has served longer
than any other Member of the Senate.
I do not know with how many hundreds
of men he has served in the Senate; but
I do know that every man with whom
he has ever served has had a. real af-
fection for him. Every one of them
liked to feel that he had a little special
knowledge-a realization that CARL
HAYDEN is something very extraordinary
in the way of a man. We also like to
feel that this realization is shared only
by his good friends. That statement is
accurate, Mr. President, for that real-
ization is shared by CARL HAYDEN's good
friends-by all who have served in the
Congress during half a century, and also
by all the citizens of Arizona and by a
goodly portion of the population of
these United States.
Mr. President, as a Georgian, I am
proud of my native State. I love her
red-clay hills, the broad expanses of her
'coastal plains, and her beaches where
the Atlantic ceaselessly rolls. I thrill
to the glorious history of my State. But,
Mr. President, I must confess that I am a
little jealous of the State of Arizona,
for through a combination of good luck
and good judgment, since Arizona first
achieved statehood, in 1912, there has
not been a single moment when the State
of Arizona has not enjoyed the leader-
ship of this remarkable man. I venture
to say here, in the presence of many men
who have worked with him, that in all
the history of these United States no one
man has contributed more to the build-
ing of a State than CARL HAYDEN has
contributed to the State of Arizona.
When CARL HAYDEN first came to the
Congress, Arizona was one of the most
sparsely populated States of the Union.
Arizona then had vast expanses of desert
and mountains, but very little agricul-
ture, some cattle, and a good many gun-
men, bandits, and Indians on the war-
path.
But what do we find in Arizona today?
Today, Arizona has the most rapidly
growing population of any State in the
Union, and Arizona has developed a great
industrial system, airports, and military
bases, and has magnificent highways that
bring thousands of tourists into the State
each year. Irrigation has brought
water to her fertile plains, and Arizona's
agricultural production is not equaled
per acre, by that of the other States of
the Union. The handiwork of CARL
HAYDEN will be found in each and every-
one of those developments.
Mr. President, I remember when I first
came to the Senate, almost three decades
ago, I heard the late Senator Carter
Glass, of Virginia, say in the cloakroom
that if Virginia were ever allowed to
have a third Senator, he was going to try
to get CARL HAYDEN to. fill the place. It
did not take me long to find out why he
said that, and I doubt not that every man
who has been in the Senate long enough
to learn his way around would feel the
same way about CARL HAYDEN, when we
see what he has done to develop and to
build the State of Arizona.
Mr. President, CARL HAYDEN is not one
who is without weaknesses for he has one
outstanding weakness: It is his excessive
modesty. For many years I have heard
references made to those who have "a
passion for anonymity." But, CARL
HAYDEN is the only, man I have ever seen
in Washington, in any position-high or
low, who really, genuinely has a passion
for anonymity. Yet-and I know that
none of my colleagues would contradict
'this statement, either on or off the rec-
ord-despite that trait, there is no more
highly respected or influential man in
either House of the Congress. Mr. Pres-
ident, I think all of us can find a lesson
in that simple fact. CARL HAYDEN'S in-
fluence arises from his role as a doer, not
a talker; his influence is founded on his
record of performance, rather than on
mere words and promises.
Mr. President, many men who have
come into this body might well have
taken advantage of the pearls of wisdom
that have come from CARL HAYDEN'S vast
experience. When I first came here, he
said to me something that I have car-
ried with me from that day to this. He
said to me "that it is comparatively easy
to explain a vote, no matter on which
side of the issue one may have voted,
but it is always extremely difficult to ex-
plain a speech. I have thought about
that a thousand times, and whenever I
have been tempted to take the floor and
address the Senate at a time when I was
not absolutely sure of the facts, I have
remembered that Hayden proverb, and
have remained silent, rather than be
compelled at some later date to explain
such a speech.
I venture to say that very few men who
have served in the Senate for only one
term have had as few words put in the
RECORD as CARL HAYDEN has had since
he came to this body in 1927, and that
despite the fact-perhaps I should not
say this, in this enlightened age, when
the word almost has a connotation of
great crime-that on one occasion he was
one of the outstanding filibusterers of
the Senate, when he held the floor for

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE
days, to prevent the passage of proposed
legislation which he deemed harmful to
his State and to its people. Mr. Presi-
dent, CARL HAYDEN does not fill the REC-
ORD with useless verbiage.
We may say of CARL HAYDEN that if he
has ever promised anything, he has de-
livered; and he has never performed any
less than he has promised. In his case,
the old saying that "his word is as good
as his bond" is an understatement, be-
cause CARL HAYDEN'S word is a guaran-
tee-as certain as the mark "Sterling" on
old silver-that what he says he will be
done.
That alone is a mark of true greatness.
But it is only one of this man's quali-
ties.
To my way of thinking, a great leader
is a man of integrity; a man of courage;
and a man of wisdom. Over the nearly
30 years I have been privileged to serve
with this man I have discussed many
grave problems and issues with CARL
HAYDEN. In every case he has ap-
proached those problems with integrity,
courage, and wisdom.
I can assert at this moment that I
have never made a mistake when I have
followed his advice and counsel.
Mr. President, lawyers predominate in
this body. I have not checked on it,
but I know .that down through the years
a majority of the Members of the Senate
have been members of the bar. But I
discovered many years ago that, al-
though CARL HAYDEN is not a lawyer,
there is no greater authority on our Na-
tional Constitution in this body than the
distinguished President pro tempore, the
Senator from Arizona. He has true rev-
erence for the Constitution of the United
States, and that has made him one of
our truly great scholars in that field.
The Senate could do well to listen to him
when he gives his interpretation of con-
stitutional questions. He has respect
for the oath he took at yonder desk. He
has undertaken to support and defend
and carry out the provisions of the Con-
stitution of the United States.
He is a believer in the true American
concept of law and government under
that Constitution. I am proud to say
that he believes in the Senate of the
United States as a unique institution
among the parliamentary bodies of the
earth. He is, to quote that distinguished
journalist, William S. White, a "Senate
man," a "Senate type."
Mr. President, you will never find CARL
HAYDEN trading the prerogatives which
have made this the greatest parliamen-
tary body in the history of the world for
any mess of votes from any corner of the
State of Arizona. He would never aban-
don the position that the Constitution of
the United States intended for the Sen-
ate in any effort to rush helter-skelter to
adopt legislation designed with purely
political motives in mind.
And after another 50 years of service
here, before he finally retires or shuffles
off this mortal coil, he can face any man
and say, "No act of mine has subtracted
one jot or title from the standing of the
U.S. Senate as the forum of the States
of this Union."
The passage of his five decades in Con-
gress has been through many soul-
searching, world-shaking periods of the
history of the earth., Whatever the
times or the issues, Senator HAYDEN has
been a bulwark of constitutional govern-
ment. He has been a national leader
through three great wars; through pe-
riods of boom and times of depression.
Each one of the 50 years he has served in
this body has seen his stature increase.
He has accumulated with the years an
even greater store of wisdom and honor.
He is a legend in the Senate and the ex-
perience he has acquired he bestows
freely on his colleagues, on his party, the
Democratic Party. Overall, the welfare
and security of our beloved country has
been the lode star that has guided him
always.
I say to my friend, as you enter into
your second 50 years of service in the
Senate of the United States, that you
carry with you the affection and best
wishes of all who have come in contact
with you.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent to place in the RECORD' an article
from the Associated Press appearing in
the Washington Star this afternoon.
There being no objection, the article
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
FIFTY YEARS IN CONGRESS-HAYDEN SETS NEW
RECORD
Senator CARL HAYDEN, who swapped his
sheriff's badge for a seat in Congress 5
days after Arizona became a State, today
becomes the first man to serve as a Member
of Congress for 50 years.
The 84-year-old Democrat, third in line
of succession to the Presidency, was sworn
into the House of Representatives February
19, 1912. After 15 years as Arizona's only
Representative, Senator HAYDEN moved to
the Senate in 1927.
Today he is dean of the Senate and of
Congress. However, he is little known out-
side Washington, because he resolutely
shuns publicity and rarely speaks in public.
Asked in a recent interview to name his
greatest accomplishment, he replied:
"I just can't do it. A man does one piece
of work one time; another piece of work,
and then another. To look back 50 years
and say one thing is more important than
another is something I can't do."
TRIBUTE FROM KENNEDY
Last November, at a testimonial dinner in
Phoenix, President Kennedy had this to say
about Senator HAYDEN:
"Every Federal program which has con-
tributed to the West-irrigation, power and
reclamation-bears his mark. And the great
Federal highway program which binds this
country together, which permits this State
to be competitive east and west, north and
south-this in large measure is his crea-
tion."
Senator HAYDEN is expected to be a candi-
date this year for his seventh 6-year Senate
term.
Senator HAYDEN, a tall, lean, bald man
who smokes cigars, is president pro tempore
of the Senate, a position that goes to the
member of the majority party who has
served longest. This puts him third in line
to the Presidency, behind Vice President
JOHNSON and Speaker MCCORMACK.
Although he has served longer than any
of the more than 10,000 other Congressmen
in U.S. history, Senator HAYDEN balks at the
suggestion that he fully understands the
legislative system.
"Oh, I don't think anybody fully under-
stands it yet," he said in an interview taped
for a television program, CBS-"Washing-
ton Conversation."
February 19
"There are all kinds of angles to it. There
is always something new turns up."
Senator HAYDEN brushed aside the theory
that an inner circle of senior Senators con-
trol the "so-called Senate Club."
"That is more or less a myth," he said,
adding that the ranking Senators may
"know their way about, but they don't get
off in a huddle and decide what the rest of
the Senators will do."
"They (others) wouldn't stand for that."
Senator HAYDEN was born October 2, 1877,
at Hayden's Ferry, now Tempe. His father
had founded the settlement.
He was educated in the public schools of
Tempe and Stanford University where he met
his future wife, Nan Downing, whom he
married in 1908. Mrs. Hayden died last June.
Senator HAYDEN concedes that his per-
formance as a sheriff in the pioneer West
would be a disappointment to today's TV
Western fans.
"I never shot at anyone and nobody ever
shot at me," he said.
"The nearest I came to shooting anyone
was the day I identified a horsethief who
was described as badly wanted in Utah,
Colorado, and Wyoming."
Senator HAYDEN confirmed that as an
Arizona sheriff he helped capture two train
robbers in an adjoining county. Indian
scouts located the robbers the day after the
robbery, he recalled, and "we pursued them
in an automobile."
Mr. McCLELLAN. Mr. President, I
most happily and sincerely join in the
sentiments that have been expressed in
eulogizing our distinguished colleague
and the senior Member of this body. I
can add little to what has been said.
I think it was sometime last fall that
a dinner in his honor was tendered Sena-
tor HAYDEN in Phoenix, Ariz. I was in
my home State at the time, and, having
an invitation to attend, and being unable
to go, I sent a telegram of congratula-
tions. I somehow gained the impression
then that the date of the dinner was the
anniversary of the 50th anniversary of
the commencement of his service in the
Congress, and I worded my telegram ac-
cordingly. My message took that
assumption into account.
Mr. President, the date may have been
premature, but the sentiments I ex-
pressed were not. They were true then;
they are true today. And if I said and
meant my words then, I say them and
mean them today. I say them with even
stronger emphasis. I know of nothing
more appropriate I could say than to
read into the RECORD at this time the
telegram I sent congratulating him on
that occasion. The telegram reads as
follows :
I join with all of our colleagues, your host
of personal friends and with millions of
Americans throughout the country in extend-
ing to you warmest greetings and congratu-
lations on this 50th anniversary of your dis-
tinguished statesmanship and service to your
country in the national Congress. For
me it has been a personal joy to serve with
you and work under you as chairman of the
Appropriations Committee of the Senate
and to work with you in many other areas
of congressional activities and responsibil-
ities. *I look forward with the keenest of
pleasure to the continuation of our laboring
and being associated together.
For you, I have the deepest admiration and
respect and I trust there may be many more
happy returns of this day for you.
Mr. President, I can only add to that
message today that I have looked upon

and relied upon our distinguished col-
league as a friend and a counselor.
Many times have I sought his advice.
Every time I have received the informa-
tion I needed and the guidance that my
inexperience, as compared to his experi-
ence, required.
I know he is President pro tempore of
the Senate, an official position which in
a sense makes him head of this body in
the absence of the Vice President of the
United States. Mr. President, I seldom
refer to him as President pro tempore of
the Senate. I have a term of my own, a
little greeting which I fondly and affec-
tionately use. To me he is the "chief."
I greet him frequently as "Chief." I do
that in a spirit of highest respect, be-
cause among all the Members of this
body he is my chief.
I congratulate him on this day. The
Lord bless him and keep him, and may
he continue to be with us and to labor
with us for our country for many years
to come.
Mr. HILL. Mr. President, we are in-
deed proud and happy as we celebrate
the 50 years of service of our friend and
colleague CARL HAYDEN, in the Congress
of the United States.
When I was privileged to enter the
House of Representatives some 38 years
ago, CARL HAYDEN was one of the most
respected and beloved Members of that
body and surely one of its most outstand-
ing Members in his ability, his dedica-
tion, and his statesmanship. He gave
to me, then the baby Member of the
House, the help, the encouragement, and
the inspiration of his friendship-a
friendship that has continued through
the years with unabated warmth and
with many blessings for me.
We who know CARL HAYDEN'S worth
and his works, who have been privileged
to witness at firsthand his lifelong en-
terprises dedicated to the common good,
'who have witnessed his devotion to our
country and his splendid achievements
in her cause, who honor him for the
magnificent example he has set for the
younger generations by his pursuit of
knowledge, by his skill and his courage,
by the integrity of his character, and by
the purity of his purpose in maintaining
the dignity and highest ideals of his pro-
fession, rejoice to salute him today. We,
who love CARL HAYDEN for what he is
personally and professionally, hail the
advent of his golden jubilee with the ac-
claim that is due the prize winner in the
race of life's noblest achievements. We
salute CARL HAYDEN, the man, the friend,
the patriot, and we salute CARL HAYDEN,
the institution of statesmanship. May
it be said of him, as was said of Sophocles
in his 100th year, "In his heart forever
flows the warm blood of youth."
Mr. SALTONSTALL. Mr. President, I
join with the many friends of CARL HAY-
DEN in congratulating him on the 50th
anniversary of his service in the Con-
gress of the United States, and wish
for him many more happy years to come.
My first acquaintance with Senator
HAYDEN came in 1909 and 1910, when I
was a schoolboy in Mesa and he was
sheriff of Maricopa County. Our ac-
quaintanceship then was brief, I am glad
to say, because he was keeping order
in a baseball game in which I partici-
pated. We won the game and went home
as quickly as we could, and without any
loss of life or limb, because of the order
the sheriff kept on that day.
Later our acquaintance became friend-
ship when I became a U.S. Senator.
I have served on the Appropriations
Committee for some 14 years, and he
has served on the committee and has
been chairman of it for a considerable
number of those years.
What appeals to me about CARL HAY-
DEN is that he 'knows his business. - He
knows his business as a U.S. Senator,
because he knows how to get things done
in this body. He knows how to get leg-
islation passed. Those of us who have
come here after him can take lessons
from the way CARL HAYDEN works. When
he is interested in a subject he keeps
after it. He sees the individual mem-
bers of the committee considering the
proposed legislation and uses his persau-
sive abilities to show them how his posi-
tion is the right one and why they should
join. We seldom hear from him on the
floor of the Senate. We seldom' hear
from him on the floor because we do not
need to. He has accomplished his job
and he has accomplished his work before
that time, before the bill is presented to
the Senate. He accomplishes his objec-
tive because he is patient, because he is
intelligent, because he is helpful to other
Members, and because he is always an
optimist. He always believes in what
he feels is the right way, and what
should become the law of the land sooner
or later.
For these reasons Arizona has bene-
fited from his long service. All of us
in the United States have benefited from
that service, because of his great under-
standing of the problems of today as they
affect us domestically and as they affect
our country internationally.
CARL, I hope you and I serve together
on the Committee on Appropriations for
many years to come, because I know that
during that time I shall still be greatly
influenced on this side of'the aisle by
your persuasive arguments on matters
which come before us.
Congratulations and best wishes.
Mr. HUMPHREY. Mr. President, I
am particularly happy to be able to join
in the tributes, commendations, and
messages of good cheer and good will to
a distinguished patriot, a great Senator,
an outstanding legislator, a statesman,
a public servant, a good man and a good
friend by the name of CARL HAYDEN.
I have visited Senator HAYDEN's State
of Arizona on several occasions. All one
really needs to do to make sure he will
be received with the most cordial and
gracious hospitality and welcome is to
say he knows CARL HAYDEN or is a friend
of Senator HAYDEN. Then the great hos-
pitality of -the people of Arizona becomes
even more generous and more consider=
ate, because the people are so justly
proud of this fine and good man.
Mr. President, if ever there was a man
who exemplified the famous words of
Abraham Lincoln in his second inaugural
address, "With malice toward none; with
- charity of all; with firmness in the right,
as God gives us to see the right," it is
the senior Senator from Arizona. I have
never heard Senator HAYDEN say an un-
kind word about his colleagues or about
anyone. I do not' believe there is such
a thing as malice in his heart, in his
background, or in his words. I have
known that he has exemplified that great
principle of charity every day of his life.
I can to this attribute from personal
experience, because he has been char-
itable to me, and that kind of charity
one never forgets.
I read this morning the New York
Times article about Senator HAYDEN,
written by Mr. Russell Baker. I wish to
thank Mr. Baker publicly for the article,
and of course all the other journalists
and commentators-and there have been
many indeed-who have written so sin-
cerely, so objectively, and so complimen-
tarily of Senator HAYDEN.
I think it was in the Russell Baker
article that President Truman is re-
ported to have said that one of the
reasons why he grew to love CARL HAY-
DEN was that when he, President Tru-
man, first came to the Senate, CARL
HAYDEN treated him like a genuine hu-
man being, with kindness, warmth, and
friendship. What finer qualities can one
have than those qualities of humanity?
I believe that. in its 50 years of state-
hood, Arizona has sent only six men to
the U.S. Senate. As we know, one of
those men has truly endured, and that
man is the gentleman whom we salute
today, Arizona's first U.S. Representa-
tive, and certainly Arizona's first citi-
zen-CARL HAYDEN.
Today CARL HAYDEN marks the 50th
anniversary of his arrival on Capitol
Hill and begins his 51st year of dedi-
cated service to his State and Nation.
What a wonderful thing it is to see one
so rich in experience remain so young.
He typifies that wonderful musical num-
ber "Young in Heart." He does not
make many speeches in the Senate.
When he does speak, Senators give him
their attention. I have yet to see a
request of this distinguished Senator
that has not been fulfilled. It is a priv-
ilege to be associated with him, if only
indirectly. No State in the Union bears
the mark of one great man to a greater
-extent than does Arizona, with respect
to its senior Senator, CARL HAYDEN.
No State has a stronger and more de-
voted champion in the U.S. Congress.
No State owes more to any one single
individual, and no State has a stronger,
more devoted, or more sincere champion
of its interests and of its welfare in the
Senate than Senator HAYDEN.
As the Senator from Massachusetts
[Mr. SALTONSTALLI, and others, have
said, CARL HAYDEN has proven himself
a thousand times over as a man who can
get a job done. He is the man who can
perform the job, whether it>is obtaining
authorization for some valuable and im- -
portant irrigation or hydroelectric pro-
gram in the Far West that means so
much to the people of that area, or
whether it is bringing about a compro-
mise between what seems like a deadlock
situation between the two Houses of
Congress. I do not believe CARL HAY-
DEN has ever heard the word "impos-
sible." If he has, he has ignored it. He

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE February 19
has shoved it aside, and he has per-
formed what is possible. He has always
made the word "impossible" a possibility
of success.
Here is a man without a trace of con-
descension-, one who has given valuable
advice and instruction to every Senate
freshman who has ever asked for it, from
Harry Truman to John F. Kennedy.
Here is a man who has never faltered
on the road to his only objective-what
is best for his State and what is best for
the United States of America.
CARL HAYDEN is a partisan but, first of
all, as has been said here so many times,
he is an American. He bears the one
title above all others that is so meaning-
ful in this country-citizen.
He is indeed a great citizen. Those of
us who have had the privilege of stand-
ing alongside him or standing in the
shadow of his greatness, feel that it is a
distinct honor to serve with him and to.
be his friend. I wish him many years
of continued good health, many years of
continued service in the Senate, and
many reelections.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent that an article about CARL HAYDEN,
written by Oren Arnold and published
in the Point West magazine, issue of
February 1962, be printed at this point
in the RECORD.
There being no objection, the article
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
HAYDEN
(By Oren Arnold)
(EDITOR'S NoTE.-It is right and proper that
in celebrating our golden anniversary of
statehood, Arizonians should honor the one
man who has doneAhe most for our State.)
In one of the public schools a while back,
eighth graders were asked on a written exam
to name the three great branches of the
American Government. One child wrote
with more accuracy than the unimaginative
teacher let her get by with-"The President,
the Superb Court, and Mr. CARL HAYDEN."
Truly it is not to farfetched to list HAY-
DEN as a separate branch of the Government,
for more than any other man alive he per-
sonifies the Congress of the United States.
"Who says so?" Truth is, almost everybody
in the know says so. Ike Eisenhower, for
instance. And Dick Nixon. And Herbert
Hoover. And when Jack Kennedy was in-
vited to Phoenix in November to speak at
a dinner honoring HAYDEN, he leaped at the
chance, 'saying, "Indeed, yes. This is a his-
toric occasion." How many Presidents leave
the crises of national and international af-
fairs to fly 2,500 miles just to greet one shy
little . man? Republican Senator CASE of
South Dakota says flatly that "CARL HAYDEN
knows more about the U.S. Government
than any other-man alive." Almost all the
leading Members of Congress gathered to
celebrate HAYDEN's 80th birthday; scrolls of
praise came in signed by thousands; wine
flowed, speeches were made, the highjinks
echoed all over Washington. But guess,
what?-the honore himself didn't even at-
tend the party. He was much too busy at
his desk.
Our Mr. HAYDEN's amazing political power
stems from two sources:
1. He has long been chairman of the im-
mensely important Senate Appropriations
Committee. This means, in effect, that he
controls the spending of almost all the bil-
lions of dollars we taxpayers pour into Wash-
ington each year, and the additional bil-
lions for which we have mortgaged our
future.
.2. He consistently makes himself the best
informed, most knowledgeable man concern-
ing all legislation (not just that affecting
Arizona) of all the Representatives and
Senators sent to Congress. And they usually
turn to the grizzled old veteran from Ari-
zona for his appraisal. They have learned
that he knows more about the bill than
does its sponsor; he, the silent one who
never, never makes speeches up there, is
better informed about its impact on the
sponsor's home State and on the Nation as
a whole. This may sound incredible, but
it is also true; his own colleagues frankly
admit it.
How has all this come about? How did
a farmboy from the desert emerge as one
of the most powerful political personalities
of our time?
CARL HAYDEN launched his career at age
22. Upon news of his father's death, he took
over the family business interests in Ari-
zona, which were extensive. Immediately,
too, he felt the call for public service-and it
was a call. At that time, running for office
held the self-sacrificial dignity it too seldom
enjoys now. At age 25 he was elected to
the Tempe Town Council, his very first of-
fice. Next step was up or down, as you view
it; he was the town fire chief. But he also
was in the Territorial militia, then in 1904
ran for Maricopa County treasurer, won it
and served 2 years. After that he hit as high
as he himself ever expected to go-from
1907 to 1912 he was county sheriff.
Smirking gents in Maricopa County said
that CARL HAYDEN was much too mild to
sling a gun as a lawman. One episode cor-
rected that impression.
Two tough Woodson brothers from Okla-
homa held up a passenger train near Gila
Bend, robbed everybody, pulled the emer-
gency cord, and escaped on two horses they
had staked in the bush.
Normally Sheriff CARL should have ridden
hell-for-leather at the head of a big horse-
back posse, dust flying in the golden sunset.
And CARL did send a posse out. Their dust
telegraphed their presence for miles around,
which was helpful to the Woodsons.
But CARL himself commandeered a wheezy
old Apperson Jackrabbit automobile, circled
fast toward Flattop Mountain and-yes, cut
them off at the pass. The Woodson boys
saw him coming up to their camp. Being
in a car, this stranger naturally wouldn't be
a lawman, they figured; he'd be a rich min-
ing man out looking at his claims. So they'd
play it cool and wait him out, their guns hid-
den under saddle blankets.
But that drama was as real as a rattlesnake,
and next moment the Woodsons were look-
ing into the muzzle of Sheriff. CARL's rifle.
He sent an Indian back for the galloping
posse, took his bandits in and shepherded,
them into Leavenworth prison. When his
wife Nan was audibly worrying. about what
disaster might have fallen her young hus-
band-sheriff, he gave her dubious comfort.
"There was no danger," soothed her. "I
couldn't have hurt them, for my rifle had no
cartridges in it. I never carry a loaded gun."
He was born in an adobe house still stand-
ing near the Salt River. His papa, Charles
Trumbull Hayden, had known men who
fought for American indepedence. He came
westward from Independence, Mo., with 14
wagons and founded Haydens Ferry, the town
now famous as the home of Arizona State
University, the town renemed for that beau-
tiful Grecian Vale of Tempe. Baby-CARL ap-
peared October 2, 1877, weighing 9 pounds
10 ounces. The Salt River Herald called him
"the prize baby of Maricopa County," and
from that, fate seemed to take its cue.
He did not immediately live up to prize
promise; as a small boy he was puny. At
age 6 he ran away from home and hid for
hours on top of Tempe Butte, a nearby
mountain, just to nag his mother. At age
7 he was sent after the milch cows with a
specific warning to "beware of that dangerous
bull." Mother screamed in horror when he
came home riding the huge bull and driving
the milkers.
He and little sisters Sallie and Mary
(whom he nicknamed "Mapes") attended a
one-room school. CARL was the star pupil,
the star problem. He swapped his mother's
carefully prepared "growing diet," packed in
a lard bucket, for the more exotic cold
tortillas and tamales which a Mexican boy
brought. Probably both lads benefited; at
any rate since about 1890 CARL HAYDEN has
known nothing but excellent health. To the
envy of many younger Senators and citizens
everywhere, he still has all but one of his
original teeth. Mr. HAYDEN credits his good
luck to his mother's good cooking and to the
fluorine content of Arizona's water.
"CARL was born before germs were in-
vented," Miss Sallie Hayden told us not long
ago. "Our school was on an irrigation
canal. Upstream, it served, as always, as
something of a sewage disposal plant. When
CARL would lie on his tummy to drink from
it, teacher was horrified and said he must
drink from the bucket and dipper that hung
in the classroom. This bucket water also
came from the canal, but somehow bringing
it inside gave it respectability."
CARL was an expert horseman, but also
loved walking. He still does. He used to
walk the 9 miles from Tempe to Phoenix.
Even now in Washington he takes a walk
each night after supper, a "constitutional"-
what else?-down Constitution Avenue. One
recent winter he slipped on ice, then showed
up next day at the office with a wonderfully
black eye. "Stop," the aged Senator com-
manded instantly, when his staff began an
outcry. "Save your sympathy for the other
fellow."
The staff of course couldn't let that pass,
so they built it up around the Senate Build-
ing. They told of the boss clobbering some
obnoxious colleague-a Republican, nat-
urally-and a naive reporter heard it. He,
poor soul, spent an intense 24 hours trying
to track the "exclusive" story down.
That sort of thing is right up HAYDEN'S
alley; as a lad in Tempe he was eternally
pulling somebody's leg. He was a skinny
twerp and so stooped that his father made
him wear shoulder braces. Even as a fresh-
man years later at Stanford University CARL
weighed only 132 pounds. But there, he
suddenly got his growth; he became a center
on the famed Stanford Indians football
team. He could have played in the very first
Rose Bowl game in 1902 (Michigan 49, Stan-
ford 0) but he elected to go home for the
holidays instead. A substitute center called
"Rosy" Roosevelt from New York took his
place-and suffered a broken leg in that
game.
His new strength in college also gave him
new courage. One Saturday an opposing
center, many pounds heavier, kept driving
his fist into CARL's abdomen during close
scrimmage. The referee didn't detect it, so
CARL made his own penalty for the tough.
At next charge he lifted a knee-wham-
into the vicious center's chin. It took about
10 minutes to restore him to action. "All
right," CARL said to him then, "shall we play
it clean or rough?"
"We'll get along," rumbled his opponent.
This was powerful Jack Monroe, soon to
achieve fame by fighting World Heavyweight
Boxing Champion Jim Jeffries at Butte,
Mont.
As a small boy CARL learned to swim the
Salt River near his home. (No cracks, you
modern folk; the Salt hadn't been dammed
then.) At age 10 he attended a baptism
at Point of Rocks on the Salt, and the
preacher sent him out to test the depth.
CARL enjoyed this moment of glory but the
preacher lost face. "He didn't trust the
Lord," cried his flock, "but sent out a child."

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -SENATE 2193
CARL declined baptism; he figured that with
his competence he didn't need it.
As a boy he read so constantly that he
won a reputation for being lazy. One day
at age 11 he was supposedly helping the
family get in the alfalfa hay ahead of threat-
ening showers, but the air was humid-hot
so CARL disappeared. Father found him in
the shade of a haystack reading a book 4
inches thick, volume 3 of Redpath's "History
of the World." Questioning him, father
learned that he had read all three books.
"Why did Rome fall?" the stern parent
tested him, switch in hand.
"Because," the frightened lad replied, "the
people grew soft and pampered theirselves. ".
"Work as such was not exactly offensive
to him," his sister Sallie recalled a short
time ago, "but CARL was expert at avoiding
it. At age 12 he'd stand on the sink and
recite the Preamble to the Constitution while
Mary and I did the supper dishes. He was
supposed to help us, but he spoke so en-
tertainingly, with Patrick Henry gestures,
that we could only laugh."
What happened? What brought about
such a drastic change? Senator CARL HAYDEN
of the 1930's, 1940's, 1950's, and 1960's is re-
nowned for his silence. Senator HADYEN
never issues a statement, almost never makes
a speech even in the Senate itself. Recently
he did have the Senate floor for a' moment,
and he suddenly interrupted himself, turned
his face up to the press gallery and called
out to the renowned correspondent for the
New York Times: "Young man, can you come
here a moment? I want to say something."
The scholarly writer, himself middle aged
and as sedate and dignified as his paper, all
but fell over his. feet hastening down. Ob-
viously he had a rare scoop, some world-
shaking announcement, no doubt. The other
reporters could only watch with envy.
The Senator was indeed serious minded.
Said he to the eager Times correspondent,
"Young man, I like your newspaper. Please
make sure that I get a copy of it every day."
That was all. .
You'd think a man so unique and powerful
would be 'etched on every Washingtonian's
memory. But not so. A short time ago 5
veteran newspaper correspondents there were
given 90 seconds in which to name 10 U.S.
Senators. Only one included CARL HAYDEN.
No matter how much oratory he showed his
sisters from the kitchen sink, he shows none
of it in Washington. But it wasn't always
that way. When he first went there, a tall
ex-sheriff in a cowboy hat, he was impressed
with himself as Representative from a brand-
new State. He leaped at the first opportunity
to make a speech. "It was notable," a col-
league said, "for its longevity and vacuity."
But at the end of it that colleague, Repre-
sentative Fred C. Talbott, of Baltimore, an
ex-Confederate private, took young CARL by
the arm and walked him down the hallway.
"All right now, son," the older man began
gently, "you just had to say it, and say it you
did. But remember, that speech will always
be in the 'CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. In time
you will want to change it, but you can't.
There are two kinds of Congressmen, CARL-
show horses and work horses. One will get
your name and picture in the papers. The
other will get you votes plus the respect of
your colleagues." CARL HAYDEN never from
that moment let oratory tempt him again.
Mothers have always been wonderful, of
course. CARL HAYDEN's may have been excep-
tionally so. In 1887 she beheld her small
son reading deep books and making good
speeches, noted especially his consuming in-
terest in history, which holds to this day.
So with rare prescience she nicknamed him
"The Senator," and often introduced the
10-year-old son by that name.
"Some day," she would say proudly, "he
will be the greatest man in the U.S. Senate."
She was right.
Young CARL learned to speak Spanish flu-
ently by playing with Mexican children. At
age 14 he went sightseeing to Mexico City,
alone. Women friends of his parents were
indignant. But, ruled his dad, "If he can't
take care of himself at this age, it's high
time he was learning." That same year he
also rode horseback 250 miles to the Grand
Canyon, down the dangerous trail to the
bottom, and back to his farm home in
Tempe. When Chicago opened its first great
world's fair in 1893, he went there alone.
His father encouraged every such endeavor.
High school years began an accelerated life
for the farm boy. This included much court-
ing, his sister Sallie recently recalled. "His
main pal then," said she, "was Abner Wade,
and for the two of them CARL wrote poetry
to send to girls. Some of it was very sweet."
Handsome CARL-period photos show him
to be striking indeed-went for a while to
the Tempe Normal, now ASU, which his
father had founded. (In 1957 ASU presented
CARL a citation calling him its most distin-
guished alumnus.)
Then he went to Stanford University to
study economics. One day there he saw,
"the most beautiful girl who ever lived"-his
own words-crossing the quadrangle there.
He followed her in a state of happy hypno-
sis. She was Nan Downing, a student of
English literature. They were married in
1908, and she stayed at his side, almost lit-
erally, until her death a short time ago. Her
pet name for him was "BuGs."
At this stage he was tall and proud in a
stiff collar 4 inches high, a middle-of-the-
road hair part, and a sultry lady killer gleam
in his eyes. These and other collegiate quali-
fications enabled him to be elected president
of the sophomore class in Stanford. Then
in 1899 he was candidate for the student
body presidency there.
The first plunge into politics seemed to
enthrall him. He studied vote-getting tech-
niqus with thoroughness, discovered that
misrepresentation, foolish promises, bom-
bastic tactics, all in the end withered be-
fore straightforward simplicity and truth.
So, he turned quiet and dignified. Unfor-
tunately, he also turned lazy. His two op-
ponents for the presidency were nice chaps
named Coverly and Diggles, and he easily
eliminated Diggles but a runoff with
Coverly was- necessary. "Don't worry
friends," coached the handsome CARL.
"You'll win in a breeze."
CARL agreed. He played it cool, as mod-
ern collegians would say; he acted modest.
He even told sweetheart Nan not to vote for
him but to support the other boy. "He
can't win," he confided, "and it might be
unseemingly for you and me to vote for me,
so we must vote for my opponent."
That is just about the only political mis-
take CARL HAYDEN ever made. Certainly it
is the only election he ever lost. He went
on to become the greatest U.S. Senator of
this century, but back at Stanford he was
deflated as few young men ever are.
He lost that campus presidency by just
two votes.
By 1912 when Arizona became a State,
HAYDEN had achieved enough stature to be-
come her first Congressman at large. He
has been serving under the Capitol dome
ever since, but his first few days as a law-
maker were hectic. On the train to Wash-
ington at noon February 14, 1912, a portly
man came to shake hands with the new
statesman from Arizona. "I am William
Jennings Bryan," said he. "I want to wish
you well."
"He was kind enough to talk with me for
an hour and a half," Mr. HAYDEN recalls.
"And he coached me on being a Congress-
man. Told me not to make any Fourth of
July speeches, because everybody goes and
nobody listens. He was right."
Being from a new state, he naturally at-
tracted newspaper reporters; besides which
he was as tall as a giant cactus and wore
the 10-gallon hat of a cowboy. They inter-
viewed him, and he answered in monosylla-
bles with a bobbing Adam's apple. One par-
ticularly astute newsman said, in a Press
Club talk, "Hayden was all right as a frontier
sheriff, but he'll never amount to a damn in
Congress." Freshman HAYDEN heard of that
remark, and was inclined to agree.
Exactly how much he has amounted to,
depends some on the point of view. A few
Republicans feel that he had best been shot
by the Woodson brothers who robbed the
train, for time and again he has scorched pet
bills they wanted to use in raiding the U.S.
Treasury or some such. But virtually all
Democrats revere him, and all latter-day Re-
publicans as well. And how about our own
Arizona Republican Senator? Well sir,
BARRY GOLDWATER himself said on the Senate
floor, "CARL HAYDEN'S popularity oversteps
party lines. He has universal support
among members of both parties. He is not
looked upon as a Democratic Senator, but
as one of whom all Arizona is justly proud."
This is entirely true.
During those first few months in Wash-
ington, Carl made friends with a young clerk
in the Department of Justice. The clerk
seemed unimpressive, even shy, but both men
needed friendship then. The clerk's name
was about as ordinary as CARL HAYDEN's. It
was Ed Hoover. And because CARL had been
a sheriff, they naturally talked shop. CARL
said that he had used the old Bertillon (body
measurement) method of identifying crimi-
nals. Ed thought it should be replaced by
the more modern fingerprint system, and
CARL agreed. Nobody else seemed much in-
terested. But on July 1, 1924, friend Ed got
a break; he was appointed chief of the FBI,
and rushed to CARL with this exciting news.
CARL forthwith pushed a bill through Con-
gress, appropriating the then mountainous
sum of $56,230 to start our nation's truly
important fingerprint system. The two men
are still pals. -
From the lower house, CARL moved to the
Senate in the election of 1926. He had al-
ready been seasoned; he pitched in anew as
a dedicated man. Since then few bills of
importance to Arizona, or to America, have
escaped his touch. Many have had his direct
but often unseen personal guidance. He has
always been skilled at getting a thing ac-
complished while avoiding any publicity or
prominence concerning mining, agriculture,
irrigation, Federal highway paving, reclama-
tion. "Ours is a mobile civilization," says he.
"We live on wheels. We must have good
highways just as we must have good homes."
Wherefore much of the vast Federal road
building program under way today is the
brain child of CARL HAYDEN.
His avoidance of the limelight has become
so pronounced.as to become a limelight it-
self. He perfected his hideout technique
while a Congressman at Large. The 1917
Draft Act was critically needed. Representa-
tive Kahn was struggling with it, but
couldn't get the emergency measure through
Congress, so he asked HAYDEN's counsel.
HAYDEN, an avid student of history, especially
of the War Between the States, copied the
old Confederate Draft Act, updated it,
changed the names and gave that to Kahn,
who promptly put it through to law.
There are countless such instances of his
working behind the scenes. An important
one began when an obscure haberdasher
from Missouri turned up in Washington as
Senator. Unfortunately, this one was
dubbed a "tool of the Pendergasts", and
some spelled that first word with an "f" in-
stead of a "t". He was so suspect that al-.
most no Member of the Senate would even
speak to him. The newcomer, hypersensitive
anyway, felt their unfriendliness so much
that he even considered resigning.
But one day he was walking through the
capitol when a tall stranger approached him
smiling, shook hands and said, "Good morn-
ing, Senator TRUMAN, and welcome to Wash-
ington. If I can do anything for you here,
just let me know. I'm HAYDEN from Ari-

zona, an old timer." The freshman latched
onto CARL as a true friend in need.
In due time the bill to create a War In-
vestigating Committee was introduced by
Bennett Champ Clark, a Missouri colleague
of Senator Harry Truman. This committee,
they all knew, was destined to be of great im-
portance. And by long-established tradi-
tion the man who introduced the bill would
automatically be its chairman. But this
was unthinkable here; to the rest of the
Senator Members Mr. Clark was-as one pa-
per politely phrased it-"somewhat less than
popular." Yet how could ' they seal him
off?
In desperation they turned to their dean
for advice, and he came up with a shrewd
suggestion, "Simply have Harry Truman in-
troduce an identical bill," counseled Mr.
HAYDEN. "Then we'll have a choice of two
men to make committee chairman."
They were elated; even Alben Barkley, the
great unoffending politician, quietly en-
dorsed this maneuver. It was seen through.
Truman became chairman, thereby acquir-
ing the national prominence which, with
dramatic help from fate, shot him into the
White House itself. But for CARL HAYDEN, he
might have remained relatively unknown.
Truman never forgot that boost. What-
ever his enemies may say against him-and
this is. considerable-he is a man of grati-
tude. As candidate for Vice President in
1944 he called HAYDEN to him. "CARL," he
said, "when I was new in the Senate every-
body was mean to me except you. Time
and again you gave me a shove upward. I
owe you a favor. Now you are running for
reelection, so I'd like to go out to Arizona
and make a speech in your behalf." He did
so, and HAYDEN was reelected with votes to
spare.
Now in 1962, of course, another ex-Senator
who is President, has flown to Arizona to
"make a speech in HAYDEN'S behalf," be-
cause HAYDEN once again is running for re-
election. And while this is not the moment
to reveal the background facts on our cur-
rent President, it is true that he too was
befriended by a mild, wrinkled, aging, but
'smiling and generous senior Senator in the
Senate halls.
Many Senators feel that their name on any
bill is important, that it is a lasting monu-
ment.
HAYDEN seeks only to get the
legis-
lation
through regardless of credit or
pub-
licity.
For years one prominent but
Inef-
ficient
Senator introduced two bills,
with-
out success. His own prestige regarding
them had sunk to zero. But the time came
when they were vital to the country, and
the president quietly asked HAYDEN to "look
into them." HAYDEN personally revised
them, had two powerful men from other
States sponsor them, spoke to certain other
key colleagues and got both bills passed-
with the new sponsors credited. That broke
the original sponsor's heart, but did get the
needed legislation.
The only flaw in such parliamentary tec-
niques is that feelings are sensitive. On
such occasions, Mr. HAYDEN is unhappy for
days. He goes out of. his way to reestablish
friendship and good will with the disap-
pointed one. He does not apologize; he ex-
plains, quietly and earnestly. His gentle
spirit is hurt most when he has unavoidably
hurt someone else. "It Is virtually impos-
sible," says one prominent Republican, "to
stay mad at CARL HAYDEN, even when he has
whipped you to a frazzle."
He is meticulous at keeping promises.
Some years ago he had agreed to support Pat
Harrison for Senate Majority Leader. Short-
ly after that, President Franklin Roosevelt
wrote his famous "Dear Alben" letter indi-
cating his preference. CARL and Alben were
close personal friends, and on caucus elec-
tion day CARL was in a hospital with a chest
cold. Thus he had every opportunity to
evade keeping a promise. But he ordered
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -SENATE ' ., February 19
an ambulance and had himself hauled to the
meeting just so he could vote for Harrison.
President Calvin Coolidge, a Republican,
nicknamed HAYDEN "the Desert Fox." And
thereby hangs yet another tale, wholly true.
In 1926 Arizona wanted the San Carlos
Project Act, SO HAYDEN fought hard for it.
It would build a new dam and open vast
new irrigation acres in Arizona. Neverthe-
less, HAYDEN and his colleagues knew that
Mr. Coolidge was economy minded; almost
certainly he would veto the act. How could
they possibly prevent his doing so-they
asked one another, during a long evening
session. At midnight CARL HAYDEN said he
thought it could be arranged.
Next morning "the Desert Fox" rounded up
another distinguished Arizona Senator,
Henry Fountain Ashurst, and with him called
at the White House. Mr. Coolidge, shrewd
New Englander that he was, instantly sensed
something important. But before the Chief
Executive could get In a word beyond the
cordial greeting, HAYDEN had begun.
"Mr. President," said he earnestly, "the
great new dam in Arizona will be the largest
multiple-arch dam in the world. Thus it
will be a thing of rare beauty, destined to
impress all who see it forever. It will be
in a Biblical setting of scenic grandeur. No-
where will there be anything like it. The
people of Arizona, sir, want to name It in
your honor. Have we permission to call it
Coolidge Dam?"
Cal beamed like an Arizona sunrise-and
signed the bill.
HAYDEN has been friends with every Presi-
dent since 1912. He does not fraternize with
them as many Congressmen seek to do. In
HAYDEN'S case, they court him. Woodrow
Wilson frequently asked his counsel. Cab-
inet members seek him out. The people who
run America, in short, feel that his guidance
is invaluable. This has held for decades.
The reason is that he is always the best
informed man around. "In Washington as
his executive secretary," said Paul Roca a
short time ago, "I once spent 12 hours a day
for 3 weeks boning up on an important mat-
ter so that I could brief the boss on it. When
I was ready I went before him, but I had
barely mentioned the subject before he took
the reins.
"'Yes, now let me explain that,' said Mr.
HAYDEN. And darned if he didn't tell me all
that I had learned and a whole lot more.
He personally digs out facts on every phase
of American life, and he has an amazing
memory."
In electioneering, he has one infallible
pattern; he ignores the existence of op-
ponents, and talks to people about what they
need and want. If he doesn't think they
should have it, that it wouldn't be good
for Arizona or the Nation, he tells them why
and says, "I won't support It."
Arizona's big Interests used to try pres-
suring him. In one case a utility company
had each of Its thousands of employees write
him a letter threatening to vote against him
unless he supported a bill the company
favored. Mr. HAYDEN studied the matter,
wrote back a short summary of his reasons
for opposing it, and said he would not
change. That year his vote plurality was
the highest ever.
Another year he locked horns with the,
world champion Governor, George W. P.
Hunt, who served Arizona seven terms. No-
body, period, could buck George Hunt. And
so Mr. Hunt ordered HAYDEN not to run for
the Senate, because he himself wanted the
Washington job. HAYDEN went directly to
Hunt's office.
"George," said he, "I got your orders.. But
I'll run against you and I'll beat the pants
Oft you."
Hunt was just astute enough to realize
that was- true, and so did got run. Hunt
tried many other political gambits to get
HAYDEN. They always backfired. So has.
many a lesser politician tried to outwit or
outgain HAYDEN with nothing but failure.
Indeed he had approached political im-
pregnability as early as 1916. For in that
year a wail came from the opposition Re-
publican Party via the weekly Tombstone
Prospector:
"We wish the Arizona Republicans would
sometimes nominate a man for Congress who
could start the perspiration on CARL HAYDEN.
Nothing they have produced has yet even
made him break into a trot.".
That still holds.
Mr. HOLLAND and Mr. CARLSON
addressed the Chair.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr.
HICKEY in the chair). The Chair rec-
ognizes the Senator from Florida.
Mr. HOLLAND. Mr. President, I be-
lieve the Chair has been recognizing
Senators from opposite sides of the aisle
alternately. I shall be glad to yield to
the Senator from Kansas [Mr. CARLSON],
who has also sought recognition.
Mr. CARLSON. Mr. President, I ap-
preciate very much the courtesy and the
generosity of the Senator from Florida.
It was not necessary that I speak at this
moment.
Calvin Coolidge once said, "A man is
not honored for what he receives but for
what he gives."
Our distinguished colleague CARL HAY-
DEN has given 50 years of devoted and
dedicated service to his Nation and to
his State. When I came to the Senate
as a junior Member of this body, I met
and visited with the distinguished Sen-
ator from Arizona. I have always ap-
preciated his kindness and willingness
to give advice to a junior Senator. I
shall never forget his kindnesses to me
on many occasions. His service in this
body has given stature and dignity to it.
When I receive distinguished guests
from various sections of the Nation, par-
ticularly from Kansas, I like to point
out to them the Member of this body
whom we honor today. I do so with
a feeling that Senator HAYDEN truly rep-
resents a Senator to whom we like to
look and as one who has served with
honor and dignity. He is truly a patriot.
We like to look up to him. I know that
the people of our Nation look up to him.
So today' I did not want this opportu-
nity to pass without expressing my per-
sonal appreciation to him. I also wish
him many years of continued service in
this body, because we need men of his
ability and service.
Mr. HOLLAND. Mr. President, today
we are here to pay our several respects
to the real nestor of the U.S. Senate,
whose wisdom, patriotism, and courage
Senators on both sides of the aisle wish
to honor.
Aside from our desire to show our
affection for him and our appreciation
of him, it seems to me that if anyone
who has ever served in this great in-
stitution has had good cause while he is
still serving here to be happy over his
service, it would be CARL HAYDEN, of
Arizona.
He came here 50 years ago today from
a State so sparsely inhabited that there
had to be two filibusters before Arizona
could be separately admitted as a State
at the same time that New Mexico came
in separately.

1962 ' CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE
Senator HAYDEN came here from the
most populous county in that State, of
which he was sheriff. It was a State
which was better known at that time for
its - Indian wars, for the hair-raising
Tombstone happenings, than it was for
any other values. It must be a matter
of great pleasure and gratification to
him to see the remarkable growth and
development of that State, in which he
has had a larger part than has any other
citizen of Arizona or of our country. His
State has multiplied more than seven
times in population in these 50 years.
The sparse areas that were desertland
at that time are now fed with water from
its various rivers, small or great, because
of structures that he helped to place
there. The great hydroelectric power
values which were created by the erec-
tion of huge dams, largely through his
effort and support, have contributed
greatly to the advancement of that
State, and as he has helped the State of
Arizona in its advancement, he has
helped every other part of the Nation.
I think it should be made a matter of
record today, if such has not already
been done, that as a member of the com-
mittee of the other body which was
handling the subject at that time, one
of his first duties was to visit the Pana-
man Canal site in the early days of that
effort and to follow through in its con-
struction. He made a very real contri-
bution to the building of the Panama
Canal.
Later Senator HAYDEN made a very
great contribution to the building of the
St. Lawrence Seaway. I was unhappy
that he could not be present for the dedi-
cation of that great seaway.
He has made enormous contributions
to the development of navigation from
one end of the country to the other, both
on the sea coasts and on the great rivers
and lakes, and to the protection of great
areas of our country from floods. He has
helped in bringing life-giving water to
other equally great areas which could
not have grown and prospered but for
the service which he has typified, which
has brought in waters to turn and lands
into fertile producing gardens. Sena-
tor HAYDEN must have the greatest de-
gree of pride and pleasure as he sees
what he has helped so effectively to ac-
complish.
Mr. President, there are three things
that I should like to comment upon very
briefly. One is his contribution to the
development of this country, which I
have touched upon already, and on
which I could only touch. I have
not commented on his leadership in cre-
ating the Federal-aid highway system,
or upon the Hayden-Cartwright Act,
which is one of the great keystones of
that highway system. In every form of
communication and transportation he
has rendered great service in aiding the
development of this country.
The second thing I wish to comment
on is his service on the Appropriations
Committee. That committee consists of
27 Senators. It is almost twice as big
as any other standing committee of the
Senate. It is sometimes said that it
is a very unruly committee, one which
even a former sheriff of Arizona would
be expected. to find trouble dealing with.
Instead, with gentleness Senator HAYDEN
keeps order and complete organizational
activity underway at all times. I have
been amazed no end by his detailed
knowledge of activities all over our far-
flung Nation, which are completely be-
yond his observation, but about which
he shows just as much interest and just
as much appreciation as if they touched
the people of his State of Arizona.
The third thing I wish to mention is
his ability to "take it." He has more
stamina than almost any other man in
the Senate. I remember two occasions
which illustrate that fact. One of them
was the all-night session that lasted un-
til 8:30 in the morning, in July 1960,
when we debated and passed the bill to
cut out the Cuban sugar purchases.
There were several rollcall votes during
the course of that night. One rollcall
shows 44 Senators absent on that vote;
43 Senators were absent on another vote;
and 41 Senators absent on still another
vote; but on each one of those votes
Senator HAYDEN was in his place voting
to give what he believed was necessary
power for the President to deal with
that critical situation.
I wish to call attention to one other
incident. It deals with the adoption of
the corlference report on the supple-
mental appropriation bill, which in-
volved arguments that lasted all during
the night on the last night of our 1961
session. The Senator from Arizona was
present in the Chamber every minute
during that argument. I believe only
two other members of the Appropria-
tions Committee on this side of the aisle
were here for the conclusion of that long
and sometimes vigorous argument.
Senator HAYDEN never runs away from
a duty. He is ever ready to stand up for
the best interests of his State and the
Nation.
It will always be an inspiration to me
that I have been able to serve for some
years now on that committee over which
he presides with such dignity, patience,
and skill, and with such detailed under-
standing of the farflung interests of this
great Nation.
I join other Senators in wishing CARL
HAYDEN many added years of service here
which I know will be of added great serv-
ice to our Nation as a whole.
Mr. KUCHEL. Mr. President, I do
not know how best to express my own
feelings of high respect to our beloved
colleague from Arizona, CARL HAYDEN.
On this occasion, it is rather moving
and intriguing for me to realize that
during almost all the days of my life,
this Chamber and the House of Repre-
sentatives have been graced by the pres-
ence of a very great man, a very humble
man, one who has demonstrated his
marked courage and his capacity for
public service over the last half century.
. I recall with interest the anecdote
which Time magazine referred to about
Senator HAYDEN. It occurred when CARL
HAYDEN was sheriff of Maricopa County
in Arizona. It seems that some Indians
of a trip out there were practicing
polygamy. Sheriff HAYDEN called upon
one of the Indian chiefs who was guilty
of that practice. He said to the chief,
2195
"This is against the American law. It
must stop." He said, "You tell your
wives that you can only have one of
them remain with you."
A period of silence ensued, and then
the chief answered, "Sheriff HAYDEN,
you tell them."
At that juncture Sheriff HAYDEN re-
turned to his office in the Maricopa
County sheriff's office.
I shall be eternally grateful for the
friendship that Senator HAYDEN has
given to me during the 10 years when it
has been my privilege to serve with him
in the Senate. I shall be grateful, too,
for all his assistance.
I can speak as a neighbor. I come
from California. Not once,- but on
many, many occasions, the Senator
from Arizona has given lavishly of his
own- counsel and aid to the people of the
State which I have the honor in part
to represent. .
CARL HAYDEN is fond of his neighbor
State. He went to Stanford University.
During his long years of service in Con-
gress, he has recognized the many calls
which my State and my people have
made upon the Congress. One of our
colleagues in the Senate referred to his
capacity to filibuster. I recall one of
the debates in the Senate about which
I read, which took place years before I
had the opportunity and the honor to
come here.
It was a debate which involved Cali-
fornia. My late, great, illustrious prede-
cessor, Hiram Johnson, was on the floor
fighting valiantly for the construction
of the great Hoover Dam, so important
to the people of southern California
and, in a very real sense, so important to
all the people of my State. The distin-
guished Senator from Arizona felt that
some amendments should be written into
the bill. It was on that occasion, when
Senator Johnson had, I think, the votes,
that Senator HAYDEN and his very great
and very able colleague, Senator Ash-
urst-who lives here in Washington, D.C.,
now, and for whom all of us have great
affection-conducted what could be de-
scribed as a king-size filibuster. They
were successful. Finally, I am glad to re-
call, the happy last chapter was writ-
ten. The Hoover Dam authorization bill
was adopted in the Senate and went on
to become the law of the land.
On Saturdays many Senators do not
frequent the restaurant provided-for our
Democratic colleagues and for my Re-
publican brethren over here. Usually I
wander over here to the Senate dining
room on Saturdays, and there among the
few who are present I always find the
President pro tempore of the Senate. On
many of those occasions I listen with
real glee to the recollections and remi-
niscences which he brings to us. I listen
to his lucid, careful, and searching dis-
cussion of the problems which are pend-
ing in the Senate.
It has been said by one of my senior
colleagues that CARL HAYDEN is a Sen-
ator's Senator. That is true. CARL HAY-
DEN in his responsibilities as chairman of
the Committee on Appropriations has
assumed a burden in the farflung field
of intelligence and its operations which is
unique among all the Members of the

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE February 19
Senate. It is the senior Senator from
Arizona, among a very few in this body,
who knows the policies which are being
carried out in the field of intelligence
and who has helped successfully to pro-
vide the sinews which that arm of our
Government continually and so des-
perately needs.
So with all the rest of his colleagues,
on the occasion of his first half century
of service to the Nation in both Houses
of the U.S. Congress, I too, rise to
say: Good luck and godspeed for
many years of additional happy and
constructive service to all the people.
Mr. McNAMARA. Mr. President, I
wish to share in the deserved tributes
which are being paid our colleague, the
distinguished senior Senator from Ari-
zona. While I have not been a Member
of the Senate so long as many other Sen-
ators who are speaking so eloquently to-
day, nevertheless in the short time I
have been here I have enjoyed the friend-
ship, counsel, and advice which Senator
HAYDEN has given so freely at all times.
Mr. President, although he and his be-
loved wife were not blessed with chil-
dren, CARL HAYDEN could accurately be
called the father of many vital projects
of benefit to the United States.
He certainly deserves the title, "Father
of the United States Highway System,"
for his pioneering work toward better
roads. Early in the administration of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, CARL HAYDEN
recognized that road construction was
one way to get thousands of unemployed
men to work quickly. He knew that
each State had a highway department,
and that each department laid its plans
for a year ahead. So he persuaded Pres-
ident Roosevelt to send Federal aid to
the States quickly, to alleviate unem-
ployment.
At the same time, CARL HAYDEN was
advancing one of the projects dear to
his heart providing better highways so
that people could get to the scenic beau-
ties of his State.
Now we are well underway with the
greatest roadbuilding program ever un-
dertaken by any nation. That program
would not exist without the foresight and
the persuasive abilities of our distin-
guished friend and colleague, CARL HAY-
DEN, of Arizona, whom we are honoring
today for his 50 years of service to the
United States.
I wish him continued good health and
hope that for many years to come he will
be with us in this great body which he
enjoys so much and to which he has
contributed so greatly.
Mr. MORTON. Mr. President, for all
but about 41/2 years of my life, the dis-
tinguished senior Senator from Arizona,
CARL HAYDEN, has served in the Congress
of the United States. During this half
century, our history has indeed been en-
riched. Our Nation has met many chal-
lenges, including two World Wars, the
Korean war, and the worst depression
in the Nation's history.
Senator HAYDEN, as a leader in this
body, has contributed to the wonderful
response by the American people, under
our system of government, to meet the
challenges presented in those moments
of crisis.
I feel very humble, indeed, as one who
has served in Washington for less than
one-third of Senator HAYDEN's tenure,
and who has served in this body for only
about one-tenth the length of his service
in Congress. I am happy to join with
other Senators in extending my own
tribute to this great American, who has
so well and nobly served his country and
his State. I, too, wish him well, and I
take this occasion to thank him for mak-
ing this land of ours a better place in
which to live.
Mr. ROBERTSON. Mr. President, I
am pleased to join with other Senators in
saluting the senior Senator from Ari-
zona, CARL HAYDEN, upon his completion
of 50 years of distinguished public serv-
ice in the Congress. No one else has ever
served his country so long as a Member
of Congress as has Senator HAYDEN. No
one else has ever represented his State
for so many years in Congress.
I can point with pride to the fact that
it was a Virginian, a Representative from
my own district, who sponsored the res-
olution to admit Arizona as a State. His
name was Henry D. Flood, who for 20
years so ably represented the 10th Con-
gressional District of Virginia in the
House. Incidentally, Representative
Flood was an uncle of the distinguished
senior Senator from Virginia, HARRY
FLOOD BYRD.
Senator HAYDEN's tour of duty in
Washington has indeed been unique.
Starting under the administration of
President Taft, he then served during
the administrations of Presidents Wil-
son, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Roose-
velt, Truman, Eisenhower, and now
Kennedy. CARL HAYDEN's congressional
experience spans more than one-fourth
of the history of our Republic.
I understand that Senator HAYDEN's
term as a public servant stretches back
even further than the 5 years he served
as sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz.,
before coming to Washington.
Today CARL HAYDEN is well known as
a former law enforcement officer, soldier,
and Congressman, and as the present
chairman of the Senate Appropriations
Committee. He is still more famed as a
statesman who helped to bring water
and life to a vast and region of our
country. Being a persistent champion
of transportation, power, and reclama-
tion projects-including what is now
called Hoover Dam-CARL HAYDEN has
greatly contributed toward transforming
our deserts into gardens. It is no acci-
dent that Arizona has long been among
the fastest growing States in the Nation.
Since 1947, the junior Senator from
Virginia has been fortunate to serve as
a member of the Committee on Appro-
priations along with the senior Senator
from Arizona. During these 15 years,
I have benefited on numerous occasions
from Senator HAYDEN's insight and as-
sistance. I have repeatedly come to
recognize the appropriateness of a trib-
ute once paid to Senator HAYDEN by
Carter Glass, the Senator from Virginia
whom I had the honor of succeeding.
Senator Glass was chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations at the
time of his death in 1946, and had been
President pro tempore of the Senate for
nearly 4 years. Of his 27 years in the
Senate, Carter Glass served nearly two
decades on the same committee with
Senator HAYDEN. As I have recalled to
the Senate several times before, it was
this association that led Senator Glass
to remark that if the Constitution were
ever amended so that every State could
have three Senators, he hoped that his
own State of Virginia could have CARL
HAYDEN as the third.
In writing about the Upper Chamber
in his recent book, "Citadel," William S.
White said:
HAYDEN could very nearly be the president
of the club, if only it had officers.
That was an understatement. CARL
HAYDEN has already held such an office
for more than 5 years. Beginning in
1957, as we all know, he has been elected
and has served as President pro tempore
for three consecutive Congresses. Not
only is he president of what Mr. White
calls the club, as President pro tempore
of the Senate, CARL HAYDEN is third in
order of succession to the Presidency of
the United States.
Over the years, it has been a privilege
for me to come to know CARL HAYDEN
and to work with him. I salute him
again at this time-the beginning of his
51st year in Congress. I look forward
to many more years of leadership by the
senior Senator from Arizona.
Mr. LAUSCHE. Mr. President, I wish
to join my colleagues in paying tribute
to CARL HAYDEN, the senior Senator from
Arizona, on the occasion of the 50th
anniversary of his congressional service
to his State and to his Nation.
Others have spoken about the monu-
ments in Arizona and elsewhere in the
Nation that bespeak the character of the
service Senator HAYDEN has rendered to
the people. Those monuments are to
be found in the buildings, highways, ir-
rigation projects, and other material
contributions he has made.
However, Mr. President, instead of
speaking of the material contributions
he has made, I wish to speak of the
unique characteristics of this great man,
for I have carefully watched him and
listened to him during the 51/2 years
that I have served in this body.
Frequently, when trying to determine
what should be our course of conduct in
order best to serve our country in times
of crisis, we study history. In Senator
HAYDEN we find one who reflects 50
years of experience-50 years of reaction
to crises and periods of triumph-and
on the basis of that experience we learn
from him what should be our course and
our attitude in relation to significant
problems.
Mr. President, fidelity to the country
and its people is undoubtedly one of
Senator HAYDEN's great attributes.
Orderliness of thinking is another of his
outstanding traits. Yesterday, while I
was in Cleveland, I listened to a radio
and television interview which a com-
mentator had with Senator HAYDEN.
My brothers and my sisters also were
listening to that interview; and when
it concluded, they said that Senator
HAYDEN exhibited outstanding and most
refreshing clearness of thinking, objec-
tivity, and fairness.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE
Integrity is another of Senator HAY-
DEN'S attributes. In my contacts with
him I have found that whenever I have
requested consideration of problems in
my State, Senator HAYDEN has been most
considerate. Although he has served
Arizona well, instead of thinking only of
Arizona, he has also considered the other
parts of the country to be benefited by
the programs he has advocated.
Certainly one of CARL HAYDEN'S great-
est qualities is his calmness of attitude.
I have never seen him grow excited on
the floor of the Senate. When contro-
versies have become keen and when acri-
mony has developed on both sides of the
aisle, Senator HAYDEN has always re-
mained calm-a quality so greatly
needed at all times.
A few moments ago the Senator from
Kentucky [Mr. MORTON] spoke of the
fact that Senator HAYDEN has served for
50 years in Congress. Mr. President, Sen-
ator HAYDEN was serving in Congress
when the grief of World War I descended
on the people of the United States; and
he was serving in Congress when ? the
triumph, with all of its joys, came. Sen-
ator HAYDEN was serving in Congress dur-
ing the prosperity of the 1920's and also
during the depression Of the thirties;
and he also witnessed what was probably
the darkest day in the history of our
country-the day when the Japanese
bombs began to fall on the Hawaiian
Islands. I am certain that no one has
known our Nation's depths of trouble
and also her heights of triumph as inti-
mately as has Senator HAYDEN.
It seems to me that the message Sen-
ator HAYDEN would bring to us is this:
When things grow black, remain calm.
Be loyal to your country, and be prepared
to give; but, above all else, do not become
hysterical.-
Mr. President, almost daily we find
that hysteria grips many persons when
untoward developments occur in the
world. In that connection we can always
learn from Senator HAYDEN the great
lesson that although there have been
many dark days, the skies have always
cleared.
Shakespeare wrote of the young prince
who was about to ascend the throne:
The time is out of joint: 0 cursed spite,
That ever I was born to set it right.
Mr. President, the times have always
been out of joint; but we have found that
a benign hand rules the destirfy of men,
and in the end things work out well.
Again in the play "Hamlet," Shake-
speare wrote:
This above all: To thine own self be true.
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou cant not then be false to any man.
Mr. President, I think those words are
most applicable to Senator HAYDEN: He
has been true to his own self; and yet, as
certain as the night follows the day, he
has been true to all his fellow men.
Mr. AIKEN. Mr. President, I wish to
join those who today honor one of the
great Senators of all time, CARL HAYDEN,
of Arizona.
It has been Senator HAYDEN's privilege
to represent his State in the Congress
ever since the day when the Arizona Ter-
No. 23-e
ritory became a State. However, Mr.
President, he has been much more than
a Senator from the State of Arizona: He
has been a Senator for the entire coun-
try. We have found that CARL HAYDEN
always has at heart the interest of all the
States. ? I have never known him to dis-
criminate against any State because of
party or for any other reason.
So, Mr. President, I would feel remiss
in the performance of my duty if today
I did not state that Senator CARL HAYDEN
is a monumental credit to the State of
Arizona and to the entire Nation.
Mr. JOHNSTON. Mr. President, I
wish to join in the remarks made today
in tribute to Senator CARL HAYDEN, Of
Arizona.
Mr. President, seldom in the life of our
Nation does the grand opportunity of
commending a colleague for 50 years of
service in the Congress ever present
? itself.
The public service record of CARL HAY
DEN goes back to the frontier days of our
Nation, before the Territory of Arizona
even became a State in 1912. The fact
that he has represented Arizona in the
U.S. Congress ever since she became the
48th State is a great testimonial. The
confidence and respect of the people of
Arizona in this man demonstrate wise
judgment on their part.
CARL HAYDEN today is a guiding hand
in the affairs of our Government, and
there have been few Members of the
Congress in recent decades who have not,
at one time or another, sought his' ad-
vice, his counsel, or his support.
CARL HAYDEN has been active in Demo-
cratic Party affairs practically all of his
life, and was first named to the Demo-
cratic National Convention back in 1904,
the same year he was elected treasurer,
and 2 years before he became sheriff of
Maricopa County. After he was elected
to the 62d Congress as a Member of the
House of Representatives in 1912, he
was reelected to the House for seven suc-
ceeding Congresses, until 1926, when he
came to the Senate.
I welcome the privilege to congratulate
this fine, longstanding servant of the
people on the golden anniversary of his
election to the Congress.
Our Nation can well be proud of CARL
HAYDEN, for his service over the past half
century has helped to guide our Nation
through probably the most turbulent pe-
riod of history to its present position of
greatness.
Every Member of the Congress today
realizes what he has meant to this Na-
tion of ours.
I ask unanimous consent that there be
published in the RECORD following my re-
marks an editorial from the Arizona
Daily Star of Thursday, November 16,
1961, entitled "Distinguished Career
Brings Honors."
There being no objection, the editorial
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
DISTINGUISHED CAREER BRINGS HONORS
CARL HAYDEN, who has served longer in
the U.S. Congress than any other man, de-
serves every honor which his friends from
President Kennedy down will bestow upon
him tomorrow night. By his record, Senator
HAYDEN has brought more honors to his own
State than his State could give to him.
The nonpartisan, friendly nature of the
dinner for Senator HAYDEN in Phoenix is
evident in the fact that Friday will be Hay-
den Day in Arizona, proclaimed by Repub-
lican Gov. Paul Fannin.
The fact that the dinner is a sellout at
$100 a plate indicates the esteem Arizonians
place on Senator HAYDEN.
CARL HAYDEN was born of pioneer parent-
age (and is himself a pioneer by every
standard) on October 2, 1877, at Tempe-
then known as Hayden's Crossing, because
the Hayden flour mill was built there at
the spot where early settlers crossed the
Salt River.
HAYDEN was educated in Arizona public
schools and the then normal school at
Tempe, now Arizona State. He went from
Tempe to Stanford University, where he had
an active career-in some ways, his friends
like to recall, a little too active sometimes
for authorities. In other words, he was a
red-blooded collegian capable of joining in
pranks.
When he returned to Arizona he went into
business. He follows his family's occupation
of milling and mercantiling from 1900 to
1904. In 1904 he entered politics as a dele-
gate to the Democratic National Convention
in St. Louis that nominated Judge Alton
Parker for the Presidency. In 1904, also,
HAYDEN ran for Maricopa County treasurer
and won, taking office on January 1, 1905.
In 1907, he became sheriff of Maricopa
County. Probably few who see the Arizonian
in his distinguished senatorial role as chair-
man of the Senate Appropriations Commit-
tee, realize they are looking at a genuine
oldtime western sheriff.
He ran in the fall elections of 1911-Ari-
zona's first experience at naming officers to
serve on the Territory's becoming a State-
and, with statehood, entered Congress. He
took the oath as this State's first and lone,
Representative in February 19, 1912, 5 days
after statehood. Until April 1912, he was
the only Arizonian in either House of Con-
gress.
During World War I he served as a major
of the infantry.
In 1926 he decided to seek a senatorial
seat. He entered the Senate on March 4,
1927, and has served there since. In addi-
tion to his Appropriations Committee chair-
manship, which gives him vast powers, HAY-
DEN is chairman of the Joint House-Senate
Committee on Printing and is second in com-
mand of the House Rules and Administra-
tion Committee.
More than HAYDEN's record in the minds
of many Arizonians is his warm and human
approach to the people of his State-all of
the time keeping a good eye out for the wel-
fare ' of the Nation. Only in recent years
has HAYDEN been featured very often by the
newspapers and magazines of the East, be-
cause of his preference for never making
speeches and working as quietly as possible.
But about 10 years ago the East awoke to the
fact that this kindly, quiet Arizonlan was
having a tremendous amount to do with the
Nation's business both at home and abroad.
He deserves being honored by his home
State. He has served it well,
Mr. BUSH. Mr. President, I am happy
to be here today joining in the accolade
of approval, respect, and admiration for
the distinguished senior Senator from
Arizona. I recall very well, after my
election to the Senate in 1952, when I
immediately came here because I was
elected to fill an unexpired term, that
Senator HAYDEN was the first U.S.
Senator I met. I met him on the,,.plaza
outside as I was walking to the office
building. Recognizing him, I stopped
and introduced myself.

I am a continent apart, I will toast that
night to the young of heart whose congres-
sional half century has seen our land
through its most difficult times. The fron-
tier-fashioned wisdom and experience of
CARL HAYDEN served to smooth difficulties
and surmount dangers as our country blazed
new trails in a world of lightning changes.
Those qualities have helped to produce an
America infinitely stronger in the sixth de-
cade of the century than CARL HAYDEN
surveyed in its first decade. That may be
the date of the special dedication of the
statesman but he was ever the good citizen
and always the good friend. I admit that
the good people of Arizona know him best
and love him most-but we in the Congress
feel ourselves a close second in those senti-
ments. And we add one more most-we need
him most. America has never been in
greater need of the made-in-Arizona Ameri-
canism of CARL HAYDEN. We know that the
Grand Canyon State of his first and endur-
ing love will continue to share its illustrious
son with the other 49 States. We are truly
the '49'ers seeking the golden worth and wis-
dom of CARL HAYDEN.
With all the sincerity of my heart, I
repeat those sentiments today.
Mr. BYRD of Virginia. Mr. President,
I wish to pay my respects to the-the
dean and President pro tempore of the
Senate of the United States, the distin-
guished CARL HAYDEN, of Arizona.
On this, the golden anniversary of the
admission of Arizona as a State and the
admission of Senator HAYDEN to the
Congress, I wish to extend my congratu-
lations to both.
I speak as their friend and as a rep-
resentative of Virginia. We of the Old
Dominion hold Senator HAYDEN,and the
fine people of Arizona in the highest
esteem and deepest affection.
Virginia, the cradle of the Republic,
and one of the oldest States in the
Union-as it did in 1912-extends again
and constantly her very best wishes to
Arizona, one of the newest.
Mr. President, I take a peculiar pride
in the State of Arizona. My uncle,
Henry Delaware Flood, of Virginia, after
whom I am named, was the chairman of
the House Committee on the Territories
who presented to the House on August
19, 1911, the resolution establishing Ari-
zona as a State.
As third ranking Member of the Sen-
ate in point of service, I am pleased at
every opportunity to assert my great and
lasting admiration for Senator HAYDEN,
who ranks first.
As one who has had the high privilege
of representing Virginia in the U.S. Sen-
ate longer than any other man, I appre-
ciate the distinction of representing a
State since its admission.
Certainly no State has been better
represented more continuously than
Arizona; and surely no State has chosen
more wisely than Arizona in electing
and reelecting Senator HAYDEN.
He is a man of great work; but what
is more, he is a man superior to his
works. He seems to act always without
effort, but his accomplishments for his
State and country are monumental.
Evidence of his matured judgment and
constructive powers has marked the work
of Congress for 50 years. He has the
capacity to foreshadow the future while
working for the present.

Mr. STENNIS. Mr. President, I am,
of course, delighted to be a colleague
and personal. friend of Senator CARL
HAYDEN and to pay him tribute today on
the 50th anniversary of the beginning
of his remarkable congressional career.
When we think of CARL HAYDEN we
think of a symbol of character, integrity,
and honor and dedication to the finer
purposes in life, as well as a national
legislator.
He has a favored place in history for
many reasons. One of the most out-
standing reasons is his long and con-).
sistent work in the Congress, protecting
and promoting and reproducing the nat-
ural resources of our Nation. Some
years ago I presented him with a gavel
made from a tree which was one of sev-
eral trees found in his State that are
believed to be more than 3,000 years old,
the oldest living things in the world.
When I presented Senator HAYDEN with
the gavel, I said then and repeat now,
that people of our Nation for untold
generations will benefit from his career
as a legislator longer than this 3,000-
year-old tree has lived.
When I first came to the Senate I
was told that Senator HAYDEN could
get a bill passed here easier than anyone
else. The reason given was that every-
one trusted him; and his speeches were
so short and to the point that one could
not make an opposing argument to what
he said.
The Senate as well as the rest of the
Nation has been blessed by his many
years of service here and the happy
thought is that there are many more
years of service to come.
I am happy, indeed, to be among his
friends and admirers in extending him
hearty greetings and congratulations on
this special occasion.
Mr. MUNDT. Mr. President, I am
sure it is an honor and a pleasure for
all of us who serve in the Senate today
to be present on the occasion of the
golden anniversary of service of CARL
HAYDEN in the Congress of the United
States. I think it is most significant
that his golden anniversary coincides
with the golden anniversary of Arizona
as a State.
Coming into the Union as it did in
1912, Arizona is not one of the newest
States of the Union, and therefore I
think it is all the more remarkable that
we have in our midst this highly es-
teemed colleague who has served in the
proper place in the great fight against
communism.
In CARL HAYDEN we have a man young
in spirit and high in vigor, who has been
a Member of the Congress during the
50 years in which the United States has
moved far out in front in the parade of
countries of the world.
I like to refer to that because it seems
to me that every patriotic American can
get some real inspriation from the fact
that ours is a country which can do so
much in the lifetime of a living Member
of the Senate and which is still so young
that one of the esteemed Members of
this body came to Congress at the time
his State joined the team. This kind of
young and successful country must have
something in its formula of achievement
worth preserving.
I think it is well to reflect upon the
fact that within the public service life-
time of CARL HAYDEN we have made such
remarkable progress. That progress
ought to emphasize for all of us that
America could not do so, much in so
short a time by doing everything all
wrong. Certain ingredient "concepts and
principles have been espoused and ex-
emplified by CARL HAYDEN. They are
worthy of our adherence and of perpetu-
ation. The capacity of growth which we
have demonstrated in this short era cer-
tainly illustrates the vigor and signifi-
cance of the concepts of America which
have made it possible for us to have
achieved so much.
Serving, as I do, on the Appropriations
Committee, which CARL HAYDEN SO ad-
mirably and effectively heads, and serv-
ing as the ranking Republican member
of the little Subcommittee on Appropria-
tions of the Department of Interior ac-
tivities, I have spent many long hours
sitting side by side with CARL HAYDEN..
Sometimes 'there have been two and
sometimes three or four of us in the
committee room. I must confess that on
occasion I have been unable to be pres-
ent, but CARL HAYDEN is always present,
listening to the many laborious, informa-
tive, and necessary hearings in which
the executive departments place before
Congress their desires and aspirations,
which on occasion far exceed their needs.
He sits there and guides the activities of
the full Appropriations Committee. He
serves full time as chairman of the little
subcommittee on which I serve as rank-
ing member. He does so always without
partisanship, passion, or prejudice. He
does so always with a clear sense of duty
and with a capacity for energy and clear
thinking which is unexcelled in this
Congress as long as Arizona has been body.
one of the States of the Union. So I have had a long, intimate oppor-
Very often, in talks I give around the tunity to study Senator HAYDEN,' to
country, I have occasion to refer to that watch him in operation, and to develop
an admiration, which we all have, for
this great American.
Last week on Thursday and Friday I
was absent from the Senate, as were
many other Republican Senators-and
I discovered that Democratic Senators
also stole away-to visit around the
country during Lincoln's Birthday holi-
day. I spent 2 of those days speaking
before public groups in Arizona, par-
ticularly in Tucson, Phoenix, Scottsdale,
and other places. I suspect that there
was aliberal sprinkling of Republicans
in most of the audiences iences which I ad-
dressed in Arizona.
I would be less than candid if I did
not say that I am happy to report that
I found among Republicans, as much as
among Democrats, a high regard for this
grand man of Arizona. They share the
esteem which I, as one who has worked
with him intimately, have for him., But
they share with the Democrats of Ari-
zona their pride over the fact that they
have a great leader who, I am happy to
say, at least so far as the senior Senator
from South Dakota is concerned, seems
to conjure a much more sincere and ac-
curate symbol of the old frontier than
he does of the New Frontier, because he
came to us from the old frontier.
Somehow, when people in public life
come to us from that six-gun-totin' era
and area of America, it is pretty hard to.
make them forget the environment of
their youth in the great independent
free-thinking, vigorous, don't-want-to-
get-pushed-around area that we call the
West. He typifies that attitude in the
Senate, as he does in, the committee on
which he serves. He is universally ad-
mired and respected by his home folks;
and who in the Senate does not consider
that point important? I suspect that is
one reason why he has been here for 50
years.
I wish Senator HAYDEN good health,
good luck, and continued success for
many years in the future.
Mr. SPARKMAN. Mr. President, I
join with my colleagues who have so
eloquently paid tribute to the senior
Senator from Arizona. I congratulate
him upon the commencement of the
second half century of his service. I
join with all Senators in wishing for him
many years of continued good health,
success, and happiness.
I, too, wish to speak about this re-
markable man, whom I have observed so
closely during the years I have been a
Member of the Senate.
He was a veteran when I came here.
But I have often watched him handling
the appropriation bills on the floor of the
Senate. I have appeared before the
committee of which he is chairman and
testified on many different occasions. I
bear out the suggestion offered by the
Senator from South Dakota as to his al-
ways being present.
Other Senators may have found it nec-
essary to be absent, but CARL HAYDEN was
present at the committee meeting. Not
only was he present in person, but he
was there with complete control of the
facts and information regarding the pro-
posed appropriations.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE ~ i
I was always amazed to observe that,
however small the matter that was
brought up before his committee, he
knew as much about the subject as the
one who was testifying, and sometimes
actually more.
I have appeared before the Committee
on Rules and Administration many
times; and again, even when CARL HAY-
DEN was not chairman of that committee,
he was always present, and again with
complete mastery of whatever question
was before the committee.
I have had the privilege of talking
with Senator HAYDEN many times about
conditions as they existed when he en-
tered Congress 50 years ago and about
conditions back in Arizona before he
ever came to Congress. As the Senator
from South Dakota has suggested, I have
found him to be a frontiersman bf the
old days. But he has remained a fron-
tiersman into the new days. Today he
has a spirit of youthfulness and willing-
ness to venture and to adventure that
must have marked him when he was a
young man back in Arizona. He is the
leader in many of the best movements
that are taking place in the Senate. He
occupies a very large place in hearts of
all his colleagues in the Senate, all of
whom greet him and congratulate him
on this his 50th anniversary, and wish
him well throughout many more years.
Mr. YOUNG of North Dakota. Mr.
President, I wish to join all the other
Members of the Senate in paying tribute
to CARL HAYDEN on the anniversary of
his 50 years of service in the Congress
of the United States. His record is
truly remarkable and unmatched in the
history of the Congress of the United
States.
CARL, as he is always called by his
friends and associates, attained this
great record because of many fine quali-
ties. He has always been a tireless
worker, a true and trusted friend, a
square shooter, if I may use that expres-
sion, and one of the most able legislators'
I have ever known. No State ever had
a more devoted Representative or Sen-
ator in Congress than Arizona in the
person of CARL HAYDEN. No problem
Arizona ever had was too big or too
small to receive CARL HAYDEN'S personal
and able attention.
One of the finest things about CARL
HAYDEN is that he has more personal
and admiring friends than anyone else
who has ever served in this body. It
has been my privilege to serve for 16
years with him on the Appropriations
Committee of the Senate, of which Sen-
ator HAYDEN is Chairman. Here, too, he
enjoys the esteem of every member. He
has been most fair and courteous at all
times. May I join with other Members
of the Senate in wishing CARL HAYDEN
many more years of good health, hap-
piness, and service in the U.S. Senate.
Mr. GORE. Mr. President, time is
fleeting. Time is endless. Half a cen-
tury in the perspective of mankind's
journey would appear to be a speck in
the spectrum of time. Fifty years in
the life of our Nation is a large and an
important period., In the life of a man
it looms large indeed. For one to be
privileged to be an actor for 50 years
upon the preeminent immortal stage
called the Senate; is something that has
never come to a mortal being. It is
something to `be achieved by others only
a few times, and perhaps not for long
or for a long while.
It has been my privilege to serve in
Congress with Senator' HAYDEN for al-
most a quarter of a century. I have
observed him closely. He is a man and
has always been a Senator of industry
and judgment. His record typifies the
conviction that a representative of the
peoples owes to the people not only in-
dustry but also judgment. Lesser men
can be industrious; only a wise man can
be possessed of sound judgment. Upon
occasion only a courageous man in this
body can exercise sound judgment.
In this, the greatest of deliberative
bodies, the personal equation between
Members is a matter of abiding concern,
of deep appreciation, and of great mean-
ing. The personal equation which Sen-
ator HAYDEN has maintained with his
colleagues is perfect. He is respectful.
He is,helpful. He will go as far, and has
long been willing to go as far as any
one-in fact I know of, no one who is
willing to go further-in helping a col-
league than Senator HAYDEN, to the point
of his judgment of what is in the public
interest.
Senator HAYDEN is regarded by all as
a helpful colleague. However, all of us
know that he can say "No" as emphat-
ically as anyone who. has ever served in
this body.
Yes, 50 years is a long time. But once
again time is fleeting and endless. No
man possesses time. He enjoys time for
a period. Some men, as they approach
the age of- Senator HAYDEN, live in the
past, become retrospective, closing their
mind to the promise not only of the
future but even of today. Not so with
Senator HAYDEN. There is no Senator
who is more concerned with the space
program than is the Senator from Ari-
zona. Blessed with the opportunity to
serve, he has availed himself of the in-
dustry and the judgment that is his,
availed himself of the industry and the
judgment that is his, availed himself of
the friendship of his colleagues, of the
information which he could obtain here,
and of the action which through his in-
fluence and position he could bring
about.
Thus here is a man who is a part of
the history of our country, an important
part of an important period in the his-
tory of our country, a Member of the
Congress for 50 years, and just as con-
cerned about the next 50 years, and set-
ting an example which those of us who
are younger would be well to emulate.
It is with genuine personal pleasure
that I salute and honor and pay tribute
to CARL HAYDEN.
Mr. TALMADGE. Mr. President, it
has been said many times-and accu-
rately so-that no man is better versed
in or more dedicated to the rules and
traditions of the Senate than the man
we honor today, CARL HAYDEN, of Ari-
zona.
We all know him as a man who
chooses his words carefully. In a body
not noted for its lack of verbiage, he is
the soul of brevity. As CARL HAYDEN
has often said, "If you have the votes,
February t9
you do not need to talk." It is equally
true that if one does not have the votes,
no amount of talk can get his measure
passed.
Someone should write a book about
this distinguished Senator. If it were
done properly it would serve as a guide
for every Member of the Senate. The
subtitle might be "The Seantor Who
Gets Things Done."
I have never seen a great man who
did not have outstanding personal vir-
tues. Of the two outstanding charac-
teristics of CARL HAYDEN I would say the
first is his modesty. No man in or out
of office has been more completely free
of vanity than is CARL HAYDEN.
His second outstanding virtue, I would
say, is his kindliness and attitude of
helpfulness.
That was well impressed upon me
when I came to the Senate as a fresh-
man just 5 years ago and was assigned to
serve with him on the Rules Committee.
Senator HAYDEN went out of his way on
many occasions to be kind, generous,
and helpful and to explain to me and
other new Senators about Senate pro-
cedures and the reasons for them.
In many respect, Mr. President, he was
a godfather to us.
The signal honor which our friend
and colleague has achieved today is
unique in the history of the United
States. No one is more richly entitled
to such distinction.
Mr. President, as a part of my re-
marks, I ask unanimous consent to have
printed at this point in the RECORD an
article entitled "Service Beyond Oratory
Is What Matters," written by Cecil Hol-
land and published in the Washington
Sunday Star of November 12, 1961.
There being no objection, the article
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
SENATOR HAYDEN'S 50 YEARS-SERVICE BEYOND
ORATORY IS WHAT
(By Cecil Holland)
Star Staff Writer
Senator CARL HAYDEN, of Arizona, who will
be honored at a testimonial dinner in Phoe-
nix this week for 50 years of congressional
service, first came to Congress 5 years before
President Kennedy was born.
When he stepped into the well of the House
on February 19, 1912, to become the Repre-
sentative of the newly admitted 48th State,
Vice President JOHNSON, with whom he has
worked closely in many a Senate battle, was
a 4-year-old playing under the Texas cot-
tonwoods. His Arizona Republican colleague,
Senator GOLDWATER, was 3. At least 15 of
the Arizona Democrat's Senate colleagues had
not been born.
The nonpartisan dinner for the Senate's
Nestor is expected to attract 1,200 people.
The President will make it an important port
of call on his Western swing. Vice President
JOHNSON will be there, too, and will join
in the tributes to the 84-year-old Senator
whose record of accomplishments will be
found written in the law books and appro-
priation bills and not in the flamboyance of
Senate debate.
SELF-ET'FACING SERVICE
The gathering will be more than a tribute
to Senator HAYDEN personally. It will be a
recognition of an elusive quality, a tradition
of self-effacing public service which, more
than oratory, has made the Senate what
it is.
Aside from the imposing length of his
service in the-Senate and House, Senator

'?1962 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE
HAYDEN stands apart from many of his col-
leagues. As far as his associate can recall,
he has never called a news conference.
And he has never found it necessary to
get out weekly newsletters to the people
back home, as many Senators do. Except
during campaigns he has not bothered to
make weekly visits to the Senate recording
room to tape interviews and reports for use
by the television and radio stations in his
home State.
Until recently he never felt the need for a
public relations aid on his staff. He has
one now. "Some of the Senator's friends,"
an associate explained, "thought that other
fellow was getting all the publicity." The
other fellow is Senator GOLDWATER, who has
become recognized as the articulate spokes-
man of the Republican Party's conservative
wing and a possible candidate for the Presi-
dential nomination in 1964.
There's no Madison Avenue touch in Sen?
ator HAYDEN's public relations efforts. It is
definitely low-keyed.
Senator HAYDEN, who served seven succes-
sive terms in the House before moving to
the Senate, likely is thinking about running
for a seventh full 6-year term in the Senate
where he is president pro tempore and chair-
man of the powerful Senate Appropriations
Committee which must provide the funds for
Mr. Kennedy's expanding New Frontier.
When Senator HAYDEN, who had served
two terms as sheriff of Maricopa County,
first came to Congress he looked around and
remarked "This is a pretty good place. How
does one stay here?" An oldtimer of the
day supplied the answer. "You take care of
your people and the people will take care
of you."
Another thing Senator HAYDEN recalls
being told was:
"There are two kinds of Congressmen-
show horses and workhouses. If you want
to get your name in the papers, be a show
horse. If you want to gain the respect of
your colleagues, keep quiet and be a work-
horse." "
Senator?HAYDEN took the advice to heart.
He chose to be a workhorse. In his 14 years
in the House and long years in the Senate
he labored mightily in the committees and
still does. He seldom speaks on the Senate
floor and only then on matters affecting Ari-
zona or the West, or in guiding an appropria-
tion bill or some related legislation through
the tortuous paths of Senate debate.
HE IS A LISTENER
He doesn't sit in the front row of the
Democratic side of the Senate with the
Democratic leader and other Senate veterans
which his rank would entitle him to. He is
content with his seat on the aisle one row
removed from the rear. From this vantage
point he listens closely to the debate. When
necessary he will rise and speak-and right
to the point. What he has to say is factual
and presented without oratorical flashes.
"If you want to challenge CARL on some
point," said a Senate colleague, "you'd bet-
ter be prepared with facts, too. He will
demolish your arguments, if you're not."
Senator HAYDEN knows his Senate as well
as any man could. "When you've got the
votes," he once said, "you don't have to
talk."
And when you have got the votes back
home, as Senator HAYDEN always has, you
don't have to try and get your name in the
newspapers. The Senator has never found
it necessary to cultivate newspapermen. In
talking with them he is courteous, if a little
wry. Looking owlishly over the rims of his
glasses, he will answer questions and little
more. "Senator HAYDEN," said one veteran
Capitol Hill reporter, "is not one you would
think of passing the time of day with in
hopes of picking up a little news."
When Congress adjourns and many of the
Members fly off to different parts of the
world, Senator HAYDEN usually goes home to

SERVED AS COUNTY TREASURER
Senator HAYDEN was born October 2, 1877,
at Hayden's Ferry (now Tempe) and was
educated in the public schools, Normal
School of Arizona and Stanford University.
Before being elected sheriff he served a term
as country treasurer.
In the vanishing frontier of his day Sen-
ator HAYDEN was no gun-slinging peace offi-
cer in the Hollywood tradition. Being sheriff,
Senator HAYDEN says, required "common-
sense rather than gun play."
In his long years in Washington the Sena-
tor has shunned the Capital's social swim.
He seldom went out. The Senator whose
wife is dead, continues to live in an apart-
ment hard by the Senate, and his life, said
a longtime associate, "is a lot of work."
"He's always been a wonderful person to
work for," said another. "He's never auto-
cratic." Some other impressions from those
who have worked with him over the years:
"He has no political machine. He's just an
individual." "He has never been a man to
blow off a lot of steam."
When the distinguished group, Republi-
cans as well as Democrats, gathers in Phoenix
to pay him honor, it would be a safe bet to
say that Senator HAYDEN, as usual, will not
have much to say. He will not blow off
steam. He will just be, as he has become,
"Mr. Senate."
Mr. PELL. Mr. President, it is with
a very full heart that I pay tribute to
Senator CARL HAYDEN on his 50th anni-
verysary as a Member of Congress. I
find myself particularly personally moved
at this time, since my father and he were
colleagues in Congress more than 40
years ago, and my predecessor, Senator
Theodore Francis Green, the oldest Sen-
ator ever to serve in our body, was a
colleague and close friend of Senator
HAYDEN for many years.
In the short time that I have been
serving in this body with Senator HAY-
DEN and with him on the Committee on
Rules and Administration,. I have come
to know him and to share the same very
high regard that Senator Green has and
my own father had for him. He is a
man of honor, of judgment, and of com-
monsense; in fact, he is truly a Senator's
Senator.
I congratulate him on a full, produc-
tive, and well spent life which has still,
I trust, many more years to run. I only
hope that in the course of my own work
in the Serrate I may do anywhere nearly
as well for my State and my country as
Senator HAYDEN has done for his.
Mr. HARTKE. Mr. President, I wish
to add my voice to the voices of other
Senators who are today paying tribute
role in the shaping of America. He, his
fellow members, and their efficient staff
are always ready to work on any money
problem with any Senator. This, too, is
a tribute to CARL HAYDEN and the way he
works.
There is nothing pompous about Sen-
ator HAYDEN. When a young man comes
to the Senate, CARL HAYDEN is one of
those who seems to be willing to make
time to show the young man the ropes.
He is one of those who is always ready
to assist a colleague to get a job done.
- One of the great pleasures and privi-
leges of being a Member of the Senate is
to be a colleague Of CARL HAYDEN. The
Senate, the country, and the world are
better for having him here.
CARL HAYDEN: A LEGEND IN HIS OWN LIFETIME
.Mr. YARBOROUGH. Mr. President,
35 years ago, in 1927, I went to El Paso,
Tex., as a young, newly licensed lawyer
to begin the practice of law. I found a
land with different legends and heroes
from those I had known in the eastern
part of my home State. There in the
West I heard Of CARL HAYDEN; he had
already become a legend in the whole
Southwest, just as he was then a hero
in Arizona, in that State's search for
water. For west Texas was as proud of
CARL HAYDEN as his own native State of
Arizona.
That year, 1927, after 15 years in the
House of Representatives, CARL HAYDEN
came to the U.S. Senate. And his stat-
ure has grown in the Southwest, in the
Senate, and in the Nation, with each
passing year. Decades ago, a saying
grew up among the rangers of the South-
west, expressive of a man in whom they
would put full trust and confidence in
every -possible situation; that term de-
scribes CARL HAYDEN: "He will do to ride
the river with."
In Texas and all the Southwest, as
well as in Arizona, he is appreciated for
his stanch stand for conservation of
soil and water, for reclamation and pub-
lic power, and for his belief in the maxi-
mum utilization of natural resources for
the general good.
It is a great privilege to be a Member
of this body on the day when a Senator
becomes the first Member of the Con-
gress of the United States to serve a half
century in the Congress. It is a personal
pleasure to see the honored and re-
spected CARL HAYDEN, of Arizona, become
the first and the only one of all the men
to our distinguished and learned col- who have served this Nation, to touch
league, the venerable senior Senator from that golden marker. CARL HAYDEN has
Arizona. His record of longevity is un- had that honor that seldom comes to any
paralleled. He has served in Congress Man: He has become a legend in his own
as long as, there has been a State of lifetime.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE ' February 19''
For a half century he has met every
test that national political duty laid
upon him in the National Congress. In
that time two World Wars, the great
depression of the 1930's, booms and re-
cessions, severe droughts in the South-
west, and other exacting economic, social
and political upheavals, have washed
around him their waves of change. Only
CARL HAYDEN'S character was unchang-
ing. With calm self-confidence and a
serenity born of high character and in-
nate courage, he is as serene and unper-
turbed in a political storm as at a spring
picnic.
CARL HAYDEN knew adverse conditions
before he came to the Senate. Droughts
he had seen, that dried up the scant
water supply of his native State, and left
the bleached bones of the starved herds
glistening upon every sandy plain.
High hot winds, for days on end, driv-
ing grains of sand with cutting edges
into the skin of man and beast, he knew,
too. He had felt the sting of a hot sun
that dried the moisture out of a man's
body, and made points of heat jump
around on his arms and body like pin
pricks. And bitter cold winds and cold
snows covered the Painted Desert and
the Grand Canyon and the Petrified
Forest in the northern part of his na-
tive State, and he felt their bites too, in
the days before automobiles took men
off to quick refuge in heated rooms.
The fierce Apaches were still fighting
the U.S. Army and ambushing Arizona
ranchers when CARL HAYDEN Was a boy;
he, of all of us in this body, is the only
one who actually grew up on a hostile,
fighting frontier.
CARL HAYDEN was a territorial sheriff
in Arizona before statehood, in the times
before television, when tough hombres
really' went to the Southwest, and a
sheriff's word was the law, but it was the
law only if he had the will and the nerve
and the moral force to make it stick.
CARL HAYDEN had that will and that
nerve and that moral force. Since he
did, the people of Arizona voted him in
with statehood, and sent him to Wash-
ington as their first Congressman, and
have kept him here ever since.
What gave this long life and this far
more remarkable long tenure of service?
Character-and the calm self-assurance
and faith within that comes only with
the knowledge of duty done to the best
of one's ability, with fairness to all, and
with rancor toward hone.
And having served in that faith, and
on that unbreakable rock of character
and fairness, providence has brought
him, alone of all Americans, here today
to lay his hand upon the golden mile-
post.
Mr. President, the Nation salutes the
senior Senator from the United States

home State will be remembered, too, I

at this point in the RECORD a salute to

dian population of any State in the Union.
mining, irrigation and reclamation, agricul-
ture and highways."
Throughout his years in Congress HAYDEN
has never lost sight of the fact that he was
elected to represent his own State of Arizona.
He began his career in Washington with a
determination to help Arizona shoulder the
full burdens of statehood and he has suc-
cessfully watched over her interests and
growth for half a century.
HAYDEN has been a tireless champion for
irrigation of arid lands, and Arizona's wide
areas of reclaimed desert are verdant monu-
ments, mile after mile, to the Senator's
success. In 1937 he obtained $3 million for
the Salt River project, Headgate Rock Dam
and the Gila project; in 1938 he persuaded
the Bureau of Reclamation to start engi-
neering work for the great Central Arizona
project; and he obtained funds for Coolidge
Dam and the San Carlos project. With
Senator Henry Fountain Ashurst he filibus-
tered the Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam)
bill until California agreed to provisions for
water supply protection for Arizona and
other basin States.
A Senate leader in highway legislation,
HAYDEN coauthored in 1934 the Hayden-
Cartwright bill that established the formula
for distribution of Federal aid to highways on
the basis of area rather than population.
This was the financial highway boost that
the Southwest and the West needed so des-
perately to provide transportation links be-
tween its farfiung cities in a nationwide
highway chain.
HAYDEN has steadfastly worked to advance
mining operations in the entire country,
provide fair prices, protection against unfair
foreign imports, and subsidy grants for stra-
tegic metals. One of those in Congress who
worked hardest on social security legislation,
HAYDS:N later fought and won the right of
American Indians to be included within its
framework. His concern for our Indian pop-
ulation has always been paramount.
While water is liquid gold to all the South-
west, the clear desert air of Arizona provided
another natural ingredient which HAYDEN
promoted to great benefit. Through his
efforts Arizona in World War II became a
prominent air training center and today its
air bases and military sites are important
installations in American defense and to the
State's economy.
Recognized today as probably the best in-
formed man on this Nation's financial prob-
lems, HAYDEN has held the country's purse
strings within his grasp. As member, vice-
chairman and then chairman of the power-
ful Senate Appropriations Committee, he has
exerted strong influence so that the Western
States received their fair share of funds.
HAYDEN's foresight has meant much to Ari-
zona, and in fact the whole country, in the
preservation of scenic wonders in a system
of national parks and monuments for all
mankind to enjoy. Perhaps an appreciation
of the Senator's farfiung services to Arizona
is best summed up in part of the citation
that accompanied the honorary doctor of
laws degree awarded him in 1948 by the
University of Arizona:
"His services to the State have been vari-
ous and unsurpassed * * * he has played
a major role in the reclamation of her fertile
acres and in opening her scenic, climatic, and
industrial treasures to new citizens and vis-
itors from all over the world."
Throughout his life HAYDEN has had many
interests which blossomed to the Nation's
good. He is credited with a large role in the
.chartering of the National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America by Congress in 1916 and
with promoting rifle clubs as part of civilian
training. This interest grew naturally from
his service as an officer in the Arizona Na-
tional Guard, prior to being elected to Con-
gress, when he served as captain of the Ari-
zona rifle team. In 1911 at the champion-
ship matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, HAYDEN
won the national long range title, scoring 15
bullseyes at 1,000 yards out of a possible 15.
During World War I he was commissioned an
infantry major in the U.S. Army.
A recognition earned by his long tenure
in office came in August 1961, when the
League of Women Voters honored him as the
only incumbent Congressman to have voted
for the 19th amendment which ushered in
woman suffrage in 1919.
However outstanding has been HAYDEN's
career in the guiding of legislation and serv-
ing as a mentor in both House and Senate,
these attainments, which are monumental,
are probably less than the remarkable per-
sonal service that he has given to the high
and the lowly alike. The case of the un-
known Chinese family gives only a glimpse.
The family had come to the United States
and to Arizona as refugees from the Red
revolution. After the man's wife died, leav-
ing some children to be cared for, he later
desired to marry a sister of his deceased wife
and wanted to bring her to the United States
from Hong Kong. The Chinese man had
tried many means and all failed until an
appeal was made to CARL HAYDEN. Then it
appeared that the Senator had nothing else
to do. He gave personal attention to this
request and after some little time the red-
tape was cleared and a happy family lived
for years in Phoenix because one man, who
could help, had cared.
Great as is CARL HAYDEN's devotion to
State and Nation, he has known one greater.
That was to Nan Downing Hayden, his loving
wife for 53 years. He'referred to her as a
good 'pal and his sister, Miss Sallie Hayden,
testifies to their long and mutual devotion.
Miss Sallie recalls that one summer she
had a friend visiting her and this friend
found some of the poetry that CARL had
written. They took one poem and put-it
on a card to use in a game of authors. The
"Did it ever occur to you, my gentle little
dove, -
Did it ever occur to you that a lad could
fall in love."
While these lines were written long before
he found Nan Downing on the campus of
Stanford University, where both were stu-
dents, the falling in love was truly a great
and important event for these young people.
Some 15 years before her death in June
1961, Mrs. Hayden had a stroke, and the care
of her deepened the love that had ever been
between them.
Mrs. Hayden was known as the "Betsy Ross
of Arizona." She designed and made from
copper, gold and blue cloth the flag that was
-to be adopted 3 years after statehood as the
official State flag without a single change in
its design. She had made the flag for the
Arizona National Guard rifle team as their
banner for the national meet at Camp Perry
in 1911.
With complete devotion and avoiding the
political front, Mrs. Hayden centered her
whole life around the Senator. She mirrored
in many ways the warm personality of her
husband, his concern and love for people,
and his reticence to be in the headlines.
No man can be in public life, however, for
more than 50 years and keep many secrets
about himself from his constituency. There-
fore about everything in HAYDEN'S life has
now been publicized. But we must herein
recapitulate some events for this record to
be complete and since the boy is father to
the man possibly explain some facets of this
great Arizonian.
The direct descendant of colonial Ameri-
cans who first settled in Connecticut in the
1630's, CARL HAYDEN was born October 2,
1877, at Hayden's Ferry (now Tempe). He
was the first white child born in the town
founded by his father and from his parents
rightfully inherited a tradition of pioneer-
ing for and service to Arizona.
His father, Charles Trumbull Hayden, was
a true Connecticut Yankee who declined
an appointment to West Point, taught school
for a while, and planned to study law in
New York before he turned westward be-
cause of health. He brought 14 cattle-drawn
wagons loaded with goods over the Santa
Fe Trail in 1848 to New Mexico, Arizona, and
California, and his trading in the Southwest
was a steppingstone for American settle-
ment in this Spanish-dominated area.
On one trip between Tucson and Prescott,
Charles Hayden came to realize the potential
of the Valley of the Sun and centered all.
future activities at Hayden's Ferry on the
Salt River. Here he established not only
the ferry but a grist mill, mercantile store,
blacksmith shop, barns, stables, and lime
kiln, and planted orchards. He was a pio-
neer trader in the true sense. An educated
merchant and freethinker, he wore a boiled
shirt, bow tie, and coat in contrast to the
traditionally range-garbed, gun-carrying men
of that day.
Sallie Davis Hayden, the Senator's mother,
was a spirited, independent woman with an
unerring faculty for knowing people, mak-
ing her the "politician" of the family.
Daughter of a wealthy plantation owner,
she had run away to seek a higher education,
attended a convent in Tennessee for a year
and then normal school in Illinois before
venturing to California where she met her
future husband. She was 32 years old and
her husband 51 when they were married, and
they were to have three children, a son and
and two daughters. When CARL was yet a
small boy-shy, book-reading and contem-
plative-his mother called him "The Sen-
ator" but she died before her son began
his great career in Congress.
Despite somewhat delicate health, CARL
HAYDEN did have a rounded life in a pioneer
town. He swam in the river, brought his
father's cows in from pasture while riding
on the back of a bull, made a round trip
to Grand Canyon by horseback-yet all the
while pursuing an insatiable quest for book
knowledge. He was educated in the Tempe
schools, at the newly established Tempe Nor-
mal School (now Arizona State University),
and at Stanford. He entered Stanford
just 3 months after Herbert Hoover had
been graduated, was rugged enough to play
center on the football team, shone equally
well on the debating team, and lost the only
election of his lifetime-for president of the
student body.
When CARL HAYDEN's father died in 1900,
he left college to look after the family inter-
ests in Tempe. He was 25 in 1902 when he
began his career of public service. For two
years he was a member of the Tempe Town
Council, from 1904 to 1906 was Maricopa
County treasurer, and from 1907 was county
sheriff until he was elected Arizona's first
Representative to Washington in 1912.
From HAYDEN's sister, Miss Sallie, who still
resides in Tempe, there come insights into
the boyhood of the Senator.
"CARL would not wear shoes," she said.
"He went barefoot regularly until he entered
the Normal at Tempe. I remember that
church services were held in a community
hall and CARL had to wear shoes to church.
But once the service was over and he was
outside, off came the shoes for the walk
home."
"He was a very curious boy," says Miss
Sallie. "This prompted him to run away for
the simple purpose of investigating his sur-
roundings. This caused much alarm to the
family, especially since this curiosity could
lead to disaster such as the loss of an index
finger from the exploding of a giant powder
cap."
She also recounts that CARL'S mother be-
came concerned about the influences that
were coming into his life in the town. She,

 2204
thereupon, went out from the town, home-
steaded a place removed from this environ-
ment.
Individualism has characterized the Sena-
tor's life. Never a fighter yet a leader not by
might but by ability and insight. Perchance
one reporter summed it up well thus: "he
seeks no headlines, yet constantly is in the
thick of history-making news. He makes
few speeches, yet his counsel is heeded as
fact. And his persuasive power is stanch
against the political whims, his role un-
changed no matter which party controls
Congress."
It must be understood, as an editorial in
the Arizona Republic said, that "the senior
Senator from Arizona is a Democrat, make
no mistake about that. He's proud of the
fact and he bears the badge of party regu-
larity with honor and distinction. But he
doesn't use party allegiance as a test of his
willingness to help a constituent. Once he
wrote to a friend in Phoenix: 'I have friends
in both political parties and I do not forget
that fact when there is an opportunity to
be of service to them, regardless of whether
they are Republicans or Democrats.
Thomas Jefferson said that he had never
allowed a political difference to interfere
with friendship, and I have tried to be a
good Jeffersonian.' "
CARL HAYDEN escapes the usual formula.
He is honored by all-partisan or not. He
is an Arizonan without peer, an American
statesman unique in his position. The
prophet Joel once spoke to Israel:
"Your old men shall dream dreams
And your young men shall see visions."
The Honorable CARL HAYDEN, Senator
from Arizona, is both old and young. In
the light of his long experience he dares to
"dream dreams" and from his youthful spirit
he sees "visions" that still lead him on to
more accomplishments directed by sagacity
for the welfare of his Nation and the de-
velopment of the resources and life of his
beloved Arizona.
CARL HAYDEN-5O years an American
statesman-we salute you as we mark the
semicentennial of Arizona's statehood.
Mr. MONRONEY. Mr. President, I
met CARL HAYDEN, our dean, whose 50th
anniversary we are celebrating today,
only a few days after I entered the Sen-
ate. I had been given the hot spot of
investigating Senator McCarthy's par-
ticipation in the Maryland election, as a
very junior member of the Subcommit-
tee on Privileges and Elections. The
Senator from Arizona was chairman of
the parent Rules Committee. He also
was already one of the senior Members
of the Senate, but he called on me. I
was amazed that a senior Senator would
come to a junior's office, but he never has
sat back on seniority.
Sometimes new men in the Senate are
appalled at the mountainous problems
which beset them. CARL HAYDEN en-
deavors to bring them into a comfort-
able relationship with the Senate. He
helps, guides, and counsels with valued
and sage advice that is never forgotten.
On the floor, I believe the senior Sen-
ator from Arizona speaks less, yet influ-
ences more votes, than any individual
in the U.S. Senate. His quiet, lovable
personality and his low key approach
affect us all. He is never excited, but
he can cut through the verbosity of
others' presentations and reveal any
phoniness, while he always comes up
with a pure gold nugget.
At 84, after 60 years in public life and
50 years in the House and Senate, CARL

HAYDEN is the dean of Congress. His ac-
complishments for the world, our Nation,
and his State since he was sworn in as
a House Member February 19, 1912, have
been unmatched.
He has served in Congress during the
entire life of his great State of Arizona
and longer as a Senator than any other
of his State's great Senators. Persons
who are devoted to the conservation of
water, soil, wildlife, and all the other
things which are good in our Nation,
owe a great debt of gratitude to CARL
HAYDEN. There is no more influential
Member in either House of Congress
than our modest, quiet colleague from
Arizona who can outwork and outthink
us all.
Mr. President, as an additional tribute
to the very effective chairman of the
Senate Appropriations Committee, I
wish to state that in an article on CARL
HAYDEN'S life, published in the CWA
News in March 1956, it was stated that
CARL HAYDEN entered public life at age
25-in 1902. Thus, Mr. President, he has
served in public life ever since the year
of my birth. I am constantly amazed
at the youth and the vigor he exhibits in
all of the many, varied, complicated
tasks which, by his great commonsense,
he so ably masters.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent to have printed at this point in the
RECORD, as part of my remarks, the ar-
ticle from the CWA News to which I
have referred.
There being no objection, the .article
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
SENATOR CARL HAYDEN IN PUBLIC LIFE FOR THE
PAST 54 YEARS
CARL HAYDEN, Democratic Senator from
Arizona, has been in public office for the past
54 years, and in that time, has never been
turned down by the voters.
In 1902, at the age of 25, he became a
member of the Tempe Town Council, con-
tinued through with 2 years as county
treasurer, then five years as sheriff.
Arizona was still Federal territory during
that early period. When the State was ad-
mitted to the Union-the 48th State-on
Valentine's Day, 1912, the voters sent CARL
HAYDEN to Congress. He's been there ever
since, his seniority in the Senate being sur-
passed only by one man, Senator George, at
Georgia.
While serving under eight presidents-
Taft, Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover,
Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower-Senator
HAYDEN has worked loyally and effectively
for his State, his country and his?party.
He is a modest man-we had trouble get-
ting him to pose for the picture that accom-
panies this article. He is a hard worker.
During a summer recess some time back, he
had an opportunity to accompany an Appro-
priations Committee trip to Europe. In-
stead, he stayed home and studied economic
problems of the coming session.
Politicians say his hard work is one of the
reasons the voters keep on reelecting him.
At comment of Senate Majority Leader
LYNDON B. JOHNSON covers the situation
neatly. He says:
"There is something reassuring about the
future of a country which can produce
leaders like CARL HAYDEN. He is a modest
man, an unassuming man. He is not given
to snap judgments and passionate outbursts
that end in flaming headlines. Yet, I be-
lieve all my colleagues will agree with me
when I say there is no more influential Mem-
ber in either House of Congress."
Reporters like HAYDEN. The Washington
Post and Times Herald has said of him:
"The wry, shy Arizonian has come a long
way without headlines. In the Senate his
behind-the-scenes influence is second to
none on the Democratic side."
Another reporter has written of Senator
HAYDEN.
"He seeks no headlines, yet consistently is
in the thick of historymaking news. He
makes few speeches, yet his counsel is heeded
as fact. And his persuasive power is stanch
against the political whims, his role un-
changed no matter which party controls
Congress."
When he first came to Washington, he
got some good advice he has followed ever
since. It came from an old Confederate vet-
eran, Representative Frederick C. Talbott, of
Maryland. Talbott said to him after one of
his early speeches:
"There are two kinds of Congressmen-
showhorses and workhorses. If you want
to get your name in the papers, be a show-
horse. But if you want to gain the respect
of your colleagues don't do it. Be a work-
horse."
CARL HAYDEN'S long record of service
proves the advice was well received. He's
been quietly working for the people and
gaining the respect of his colleagues ever
since.
CARL HAYDEN was the first white child
born in Hayden's Ferry, the town founded
by his father. The adobe house that was
his birthplace is today a landmark of
Tempe.
As a boy, CARL HAYDEN was molded by
the spirit of pioneers and by the cultural
heritage of his parents. He swam in the Salt
River, drove his father's cows in from pas-
ture on the back of a bull, once rode a
favorite horse to the Grand Canyon and
back.
He's now been in Washington as a Rep-
resentative or Senator for close to half a
century. Many changes have taken place in
America in that time, and HAYDEN has had
an important share in molding those
changes.
In the Senate he has made as his special
fields highways, irrigation, reclamation, agri-
culture, and mining.
As the Senate leader in highway legisla-
tion, he made one of his most noteworthy
contributions to Arizona and the West as
coauthor of the Hayden-Cartwright bill that
set the formula for distribution of Federal
aid to highways on a basis which includes
both area and population.
When Senator HAYDEN was awarded an
honorary doctor of laws degree by the Uni-
versity of Arizona in 1948, the citation said
in part:
"His services to the State have been vari-
ous and unsurpassed. Particularly as a spe-
cialist in legislation affecting irrigation and
Federal highways he has played a major role
in the reclamation of her fertile acres and
in opening her scenic, climatic, and indus-
trial treasures to new citizens and visitors
from over the world."
Huge irrigation and power projects, green
vistas of reclaimed desert, and uncounted
miles of wide, straight highways will long
endure as monuments to CARL HAYDEN, of
Arizona.
Mr. KERR. Mr. President, elated
citizens in both the Oklahoma and the
Indian territories were still "whooping
it up" to mark their combined entry
into the Union when in still another
Territory-one farther west-a friendly,
quiet man with a gridiron physique
lowered his right hand and grasped his
sheriff's badge. -He had just sworn to
maintain the peace and to uphold the
law in an Arizona Territory county where
violence and disorder were normal

symptoms in the birthpains of a new,
rugged State.
Mr. President, Sheriff CARL HAYDEN
maintained the peace with respect, in-
stead of with a revolver; he upheld the
law with a firm, friendly hand, but not
a heavy one. He was the true prototype
of all the fictional Matt Dillons and
Wyatt Earps, but he was no gunslinger.
This rugged, friendly peace officer used
brilliance for bullets, poise for posses.
He had the fastest grin the West.
His personality and exploits became a
regional legend, and some years later,
when his sprawling new State got its
first breath of life spanked into it, CARL
HAYDEN became for a short period its
sole Representative in the U.S. Congress.
At that time Senators were named by
the legislatures, and Arizona's had not
yet convened when Congressman HAY-
DEN arrived in Washington in 1912.
Mr. President, the distinguished Sena-
tor from Arizona has been intimately
associated with the law for more than
60 years. He has gained eminence in
enforcing the law, renown in creating
the law, and respect for lending a rare
brand of dignity to both functions. He
is this Nation's greatest legislator sta-
tistically, historically, numerically, fac-
tually, and emphatically.
Our exceptional President pro tem-
pore has sought anonymity almost as
vigorously as he has avoided animosity.
His incredible legislative record has
never been fully logged, and only scant
accounts of the colorful life of this re-
markable westerner have been recorded.
One of these rare stories appeared a
couple of years ago in the Reader's
Digest. It related a score of incidents-
any one of which would have justified
a complete novel-that give us a slight
insight into his intriguing early life in
Arizona territory. It told how he used
his fists to tame a notorious gunman who
had threatened him; it recounted his
pioneer life and his unique quest for
knowledge. It also recalled his meeting
of the great and gracious Nan Downing,
on the campus of Stanford University.
It was she, this lovely lady, who for more
than a half century showered on him
inspiration, understanding, and absolute
devotion.
I recall that someone asked the
Senator from Arizona about his reaction
to that article.
One paragraph was inaccurate-
He asserted-
It said I lost an election for president of
the student body by two votes because I
gallantly voted for my opponent. I didn't
vote for an opponent then, and never have
since. I just plain lost that race.
Mr. President, so far as I know, that
election was his lone defeat. In this
century he has not yet been outpolled
by an opponent.
The Senator from Oklahoma has
reached an age considered as a mature
one-an age identified with chronologi-
cal fulfillment, and associated with
retirement. But, Mr. President, he was
in his midteens, doing what chores were
forced on him on an Oklahoma farm,
when the great Senator from Arizona
came to Congress. Despite this wide
gap between our congressional careers, I
have finally established some measure of
kinship to this great legislator: I believe
he and I are the only two Senators who
were born in a mainland territory, not
a State, and have spanned the colorful
era from frontier to New Frontier.
Our great and beloved colleague, who
has aided and counseled nine Presidents,
today is observing a dual and dis-
tinguished event. Although Arizona was
admitted to the Union on February 14,
1912, its representative took the oath of
office in the House of Representatives
exactly 50 years ago today, following a 5-
day journey. His is a historical story
of a remarkable man and a fabulous
State.
Arizona's entry into the Union did not.
create the Nation, but it made the United
States a solid Republic from coast to
coast; and although the Representative
it wisely dispatched to Washington did
no; create Congress, he certainly has
helped to improve and perfect it.
CARL HAYDEN has found it unnecessary
to resort to the use of many of the
weapons usually associated with a sheriff
or a Senator.. He is eloquent, without
orating; he is resounding, even in a
Whisper; he is aware, without prying.
He is at all times effective.
Mr. President, the people of Oklahoma
are grateful to CARL HAYDEN for a host of
kindnesses. I know the senior Senator
from Oklahoma has served his State
and his Nation better as the result of
the inspiration and guidance of this
great man from Arizona. I am certain
that 43 other States and hundreds of
other Senators are equally as grateful.
Our mighty but modest President pro
tempore has heard millions of words on
the floors of the two Houses of Congress;
and it seems that a material and more
suitable tribute should be proffered. It
seems that his portrait should grace the
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD today; but I am
certain this unassuming man would not
permit his Joint Committee on Printing
to relax that rule.
I think a mighty statue should be
carved and placed conspicuously in the
Halls of Congress, as an inspiration to
all lawmakers, present and future; but
so long as CARL HAYDEN is chairman of
the Appropriations Committee, it would
never be permitted to allocate the neces-
sary funds.
It seems that there should be placed
above the entranceway to this Cham-
ber a stone carving reading "CARL HAY-
DEN Served Here"; but the Rules Com-
mittee, which he headed for so many
years, would never agree to it.
So, Mr. President, we must pay him
only vocal tributes. I sincerely congrat-
ulate this greatest of all Senators on
his half-century of unparalleled service.
I commend the great State of Arizona
for having the wisdom to send him to
us. I am grateful that providence has
permitted me to know and to serve with
such an outstanding American, who can
be addressed either as "Mr. HAYDEN, the
Senator from Arizona," or as "Mr. Ari-
zona, the Senator from Hayden."
Mr. RANDOLPH. Mr. President, the
tributes expressed this afternoon in this
forum are genuine. They come from the
grateful colleagues of Senator CARL
HAYDEN, and regardless of their length
they are given in full measure to a truly
great legislator.
A short story of a personal nature may
best serve to indicate the kindness and
the helpfulness of the senior Senator
from Arizona: In November 1958, I came
to Washington to serve in the Senate for
the unexpired term of the late dis-
tinguished Senator M. M. Neely. I had
been- in my temporary offices perhaps
less than 3 days-I believe it was
the second day-when a kindly, unosten-
tatious visitor came to call. His eyes
twinkled. I was being welcomed by the
Senator from Arizona. He just walked
in and asked, if not in these exact words,
in the essence of these words: "Can I be
of any assistance to you as you begin
your work in the U.S. Senate?"
I shall never forget that friendly and
yet forceful way in which he impressed
a new Senator with his sincere desire
to be of service.
I recall that on November 17, 1961, I
was privileged to attend the celebration
in his honor in Phoenix, Ariz. Senators
and Representatives in Congress were
present. His own beloved folk, more
than 1,000 of the citizens of his. own
State, were happy in an outpouring of
true tribute to this truly remarkable
man.
To have served a State continuously
in the Congress of the United States
since its admission to the Union of
States a half century ago is an honor
not experienced by any other citizen.
We acclaim CARL HAYDEN today for this
achievement.
But in bestowing upon the venerable
Senator from Arizona our praise for hav-
ing completed 50 years of uninterrupted
tenure in the Congress, we express our
respect for him not for having graced
these halls with his presence for a half
century, but, rather, for the quality of
the service he has performed for his
State and the Nation during that span
of years.
Those of us who have had the,privilege
of serving in the Congress with Senator
CARL HAYDEN know why grateful constit-
uents never have failed to return him
victorious. This representation covers
the years from January 19, 1912, to
March 3, 1927, in the House of Repre-
sentatives and from March 4, 1927, to the
present in the U.S. Senate.
Faithful, patriotic, and unpretentious
service has been the hallmark of CARL
HAYDEN's unequalled period of tenure.
Mr. MORSE. Mr. President, one of
the hardest, yet most pleasant, of the
many responsibilities which comes to
each of us is that of voicing, both as
an individual and as the representative
of our State, words of well-earned com-
mendation and deserved tribute to our
colleagues. It is hard, because so many
Senators justly deserve such tribute and
the opportunities of giving commenda-
tion are many.
But when it comes to paying tribute
to the dean of the Senate, our beloved
President pro tempore, the senior Sen-
ator from Arizona, it becomes even more
difficult because there are so many areas

in which he has placed upon our coun-
try the stamp of his wise counsel, the
imprint of his legislative foresight, the
hallmark of his compassion, and, to use
the Biblical phrase, the signature of his
charity, which is the true love of his
fellow man.
In the 13th chapter of the First Epistle
of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians,
we are taid that:
Though I speak with the tongues of men
and of angels, and have not charity, I am
become as sounding brass, or a tinkling
cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy,
and understand all mysteries, and all knowl-
edge; and though I have all faith, so that
I could remove mountains, and have not
charity, I am nothing.
CARL HAYDEN speaks but seldom, but
when he does, it is to the point and his
judgment is received with respect. It is
based upon five decades of cool and con-
sidered appraisal of men and proposals
weighed against the national need and
the public good. Yet, in spite of his
position of power, which he holds as a
trust, Senators from every part of the
country, of every shade of political belief,
respect, revere, and love him. The rea-
son for this, I think, is that he, above
all of his colleagues, understands the
problems of their constituents and he is
unstinting in his efforts to find practical
solutions which will resolve them. This
quality is the quality of charity in its
widest sense, and it gives resonance to
his words, as it tempers the clarity of his
insight.
Senator HAYDEN is gifted with pro-
phetic foresight, but since in him this is
based upon a faith in the democratic
process and a belief that under law
honest men can work together to create
a sound and enduring nation despite
their individual frailties, this gift of
prophecy has enabled him to translate
the vision into reality. He has brought
water to the and regions; he has helped
to span the continent with broad high-
ways; he has brought light to remote
farm areas; and he has ushered in the
age of electronic power for good.
Surely it has been given to few men
in history to have presided as a wise
counselor over so much which has
changed our patterns of living in such
a short span of time.
The 51st year he now starts in the
Congress of the United States continues
a record of unparallel service to all of
the people in each of the States. Ari-
zona has him as her senior Senator, but
all America is his constituency. Oregon
knows him for a true friend and is proud
to claim him as her honorary legisla-
tor, for Bonneville and all the other
great dams which tame the Columbia to
the work of man stand as silent testi-
monials to his vision, his faith, and his
friendship, which is another definition
of his charity.
As a man, and as a Senator, I am
honored to claim his friendship for I
am deeply indebted to him for his wis-
dom and sage judgment. On behalf of
my State, and in a very personal way
on my own behalf, I tender thanks to
CARL HAYDEN for all he has done in the
past, confident that in the coming
decades he will, as is his custom, be ever
ready, for the benefit of the people of
the United States, to carry out with
high distinction his manifold responsi-
bilities.
In closing, Mr. President, I ask unani-
mous consent that there be included in
the RECORD at this point in my remarks
an article on Senator HAYDEN appear-
ing in the New York Herald Tribune of
February 19, and a copy of the state-
ment of tribute I submitted at the CARL
HAYDEN golden anniversary dinner on

There being no objection, the article
and statement were ordered to be printed
in the RECORD, as follows:
[From the New York Herald Tribune, Feb.
19, 19621
SENATOR HAYDEN BECOMES A 50-YEAR MAN
WASHINGTON.-Senator CARL T. HAYDEN,
who has been representing Arizona in Con-
gress ever since it became the 48th State
in 1912, made history yesterday by rounding
out 50 years of continuous service in the
House and Senate.
He marked the occasion by giving one of
his very rare interviews which-typically-
was devoted largely to deprecating any sug-
gestions that he wields the great power which
generally is credited to him.
The modest, one-time territorial sheriff
now is dean of the Senate in both service
and age and is expected to seek reelection
this fall for a seventh 6-year term. He came
to the Senate in 1927 after 15 years in the
House.
A Democrat, Senator HAYDEN is chairman
of the powerful Senate Appropriations Com-
mittee and Senate president pro tempore.
He seldom takes part in floor debate and
even more rarely talks to reporters for pub-
lication.
ALL KINDS OF ANGLES
Although he has served longer than any
of the more than 10,000 other Congressmen,
Senator HAYDEN balks at the suggestion that
he fully understands the legislative system.
"Oh, I don't think anybody fully under-
stands it yet," he said in an interview taped
for the CBS television program "Washington
Conversation."
"There are all kinds of angles to it. There
is always something new turns up."
Senator HAYDEN, who will be 85 October 2,
brushed aside the theory that an inner
circle of senior Senators control the so-
called Senate club.
"That is more or less a myth," he said,
adding that the ranking Senators may
"know their way about, but they don't get
off in a huddle and decide what the rest of
the Senators will do.
"They (others) wouldn't stand for that."
Senator HAYDEN has no plans for reform-
ing the legislative branch or changing the
unlimited Senate debate that sometimes
runs into filibusters.
AIDED BY FILIBUSTER
In fact, he credits a filibuster with help-
ing him get to the Senate, when a plan to
admit New Mexico and Arizona territories
as a single State was defeated by long de-
bate.
And he told about helping Arizona get
some share of waters from Boulder or Hoover
Dams by some lengthy debate.
"I like the way the Senate operates," he
said.
Asked if the numerous Federal dam, high-
way, and other projects in Arizona resulted
from his seniority and power, Senator HAY-
DEN again balked.
"It doesn't stem from any power," he said.
"If you have a good project, the Congress
will adopt it. Nobody has the power to im-
pose anything on the Congress or procure
the enactment into legislation,"
Senator HAYDEN confirmed that as an Ari-
zona sheriff he helped capture two train rob-
bers in an adjoining county. Indian scouts
located the robbers the day after the rob-
bery, he recalled, and "we pursued them in
an automobile."
SHERIFF 7 YEARS
He was the first white child born at
Hayden's Ferry, Ariz., established by his
father and now known as Tempe. Senator
HAYDEN served 2 years on the Tempe Town
Council, 2 years as county treasurer, and 7
years as sheriff before election to Congress.
The sheriff then collected fees. He said:
"I would go around with my receipts book
and collect for a crap game or a roulette
wheel or poker games and faro and the saloon
itself and any gambling devices there."
Senator HAYDEN said he did this in the
forenoons and usually the bartender would
invite him to take a drink.
"I would explain that I had a rule-noth-
ing before sundown," he said.
"I never was interested in gambling," he
replied to another question, "Oh, I don't
mean to say I haven't put four bits on a
wheel, or something like that, but to be a
gambler-no."
CARL HAYDEN-MAN OF ACHIEVEMENT
The happy occasion of Senator HAYDEN's
golden anniversary of service in Congress
provides a welcome opportunity for express-
ing some of my thoughts about the honored
and respected dean of the Senate, though I
am certain that I cannot summarize them in
words that do ample justice to my very good
friend and colleague, the Senator from
Arizona.
As the Vice President has said on numerous
occasions, CARL HAYDEN's most remarkable
attribute is the very high degree of affection
in which his colleagues hold him. The pub-
lic records of the Congress bear witness to
his many spontaneous acts of courtesy, con-
sideration, and friendliness to new genera-
tions of Senators. He is renowned for his
willingness to listen,with sympathetic under-
standing, for his capacity to advise soundly
and for the gracious manner in which he
renders assistance. I believe there is no man
in the U.S. Senate who has not been for the
better influenced by the Senator from
Arizona.
As we have heard from Congressmen from
both lawmaking bodies, from both parties,
and from all sections of this country, Senator
HAYDEN'S performance as a legislator has
made a major contribution to the building
of the United States. Beginning with his
own State, his astuteness, knowledge, and
understanding have had a direct effect upon
progress in every corner of the country.
Westerners of today and those of future
generations will always be indebted to him
for bringing life-giving water to arid lands
and the countless benefits that flow from
multiple-use development of the great river
resources of the United States.
On many occasions my own State of Ore-
gon has celebrated major developments made
possible through the fine help of the senior
Senator from Arizona as we did last month
in the case of the Harney Electric Coopera-
tive project. His timely assistance made it
possible to bring low-cost Bonneville electric
power to farmers and ranchers in remote
areas of Oregon and Nevada. Through him
we banished much toil from the lives of
people in the Northwest. I do not think
there is a man or woman in Oregon whose
life is not a little easier as a result of his
wisdom and foresight.
It deserves to be known and appreciated
throughout the country, that the United
States is exceedingly fortunate to have CARL
HAYDEN's experience, prudence, and perspec-
tive in the administration of its affairs. In
consistently placing the interests of the Na-
tion above the interests of a selfish few, he
has fulfilled the highest vision of the Found-

ing Fathers in setting up the Senate as a
body composed of men from the States, yet
for the Nation.
History will record the senior Senator from
Arizona as one of the great men of that body.
His is a career that Senators of the future
may well strive to emulate. I regret that I
cannot attend in person or offer my heartfelt
congratulations and best wishes for many
more years of dedicated public service to one
of the true and steadfast builders of Ameri-
can strength, character, and fame.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. President, it gives
me a great deal of pleasure at this time
to join my colleagues in paying tribute
to my friend, and to the friend of every
Senator in this great body, CARL HAYDEN.
I will never forget the day I was sworn
in as a Member of the Senate, and it was
certainly one of the great moments of
my life. CARL HAYDEN administered the
oath to me. I suppose every Senator,
when he is sworn in, has a certain
amount of nervousness as he walks up
to take the oath, but the genuine warmth
and friendship that he exhibited at that
time dispelled any of the fears and un-
easiness I had.
Mr. President, one of my most prized
possessions is a picture made with Sen-
ator HAYDEN immediately after I was
sworn in. I shall always prize it as one
of my great possessions.
Mr. President, today is a great day for
the Congress of the United States. We
are pausing to pay tribute to one of the
truly great leaders of our time. Senator
HAYDEN, in every sense of the word, is a
man among men.
Public service-unselfish service-has
been the life of CARL HAYDEN. Since the
days he served as sheriff of Maricopa
County, Ariz., Senator HAYDEN has stood
tall among those who devote their lives
to making society better for all people.
When I came to the Senate just 4
years ago, I was deeply impressed with
Senator HAYDEN. I found him most
helpful. I found him understanding. I
found him fair.
I have heard that there is an old say-
ing out in the West. When a man has
the reputation that you can "ride the
river with him," it means that he is
..tops."
Senator HAYDEN is such a man. You
can ride the river with Senator HAYDEN.
Senator HAYDEN is a modest man.
Over the years, I am sure no one has
had more influence over the course this
Nation has taken than Senator HAYDEN.
But even today, with the key positions
he holds in the Senate, Senator HAYDEN
goes about his work without a great deal
of talk or fanfare. He would rather
just work-and get the job done.
To him today I would like to say,
"Thanks, and keep up the good work."
I sincerely hope that Senator HAYDEN
will represent his State and Nation for
many, many years to come.
Mr. JACKSON. Mr. President, since
Arizona became a State 50 years ago
there have been 14 Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress as the elected
advocates of that sun-blessed section of
our land. And there has been one man
here all the while, first as a Member of
the House of Representatives' and then
as Arizona's distinguished Senator, CARL
HAYDEN. His continuous service since
Arizona statehood makes him "Mr.
Arizona" and "Mr. U.S. Senate.". Few
men have served their country as effec-
tively and as well as CARL HAYDEN. It
has been my great pleasure to be a col-
league and personal friend of Senator
HAYDEN for 21 years, and my respect for
him has expanded with passing time.
He is a man of great wisdom, judgment,
and humility. Arizona has been fortu-
nate in having him as its wise and able
servant.
Recently I saw a copy of a Phoenix
newspaper that carried an eight-column
headline stating "All'Hail CARL HAYDEN,"
on the occasion of an anniversary din-
ner held there honoring him. He is a
man respected and beloved in his home
State, just as he is here in the Senate
of the United States. I know that the
people of Arizona will continue to bene-
fit from his rich experience.
Mr. FULBRIGHT. Mr. President, it
is very difficult to find the words ade-
quately to describe my profound respect
and admiration for the great qualities of
the senior Senator from Arizona, our
friend, CARL HAYDEN.
Ever since I have been a Member of
this body, Senator HAYDEN has carried
one of the heaviest loads of all, and yet
he is always available for advice and has
never failed to be helpful and cooperative
when his advice or assistance is re-
quested.
His sympathetic and gracious person-
ality is especially encouraging and help-
ful to one who first enters this body.
When I was a freshman Member of the
Senate, in the old days of some 18 years
ago, few Senators had the time or the
patience to help the uninitiated, but
CARL HAYDEN was always most generous
with his time and was never impatient.
Above and beyond his personal quali-
ties as a fine gentleman with a kindly
sense of humor, he has always taken a
progressive attitude toward America.
He has never lent his influence and pres-
tige to the careers or the critics who
see nothing but failure and disaster in
the future of our country. He believes
in America, and he has done more than
any other one of us has done to build a
strong and forward-looking. nation. I
find it difficult to recall any progressive
piece of legislation which has not re-
ceived the support of the senior Senator
from Arizona.
I know of no one more beloved by his
colleagues or for whom I have greater af-
fection than CARL HAYDEN.
Mr. HUMPHREY. Mr. President, I
ask unanimous consent that a statement
by the Vice President relating to the 50
years of service in Congress of the Pres-
ident pro tempore of the Senate, the
senior Senator from Arizona [Mr. HAY-
DEN], be printed in the RECORD at that
point where the testimonials and com-
mendatory statements by Senators were
being made.
There being no objection, the state-
ment was ordered to be printed in the
RECORD, as follows:
STATEMENT BY VICE PRESIDENT JOHNSON
The event celebrated today is of such his-
torical. significance to the country, and of
such personal significance, that the Chair
desires to join with those who have already
spoken in paying tribute to the great senior
Senator from Arizona.
It is entirely true that the Congress and
the country have profited by Senator HAY-
DEN's half-century of service in the legisla-
tive branch. But the Chair would remind
Members that there has been a mutuality of
benefit between the country and the Sena-
tor from Arizona. For it is given to few
men to devote a long lifetime to the better-
ment of their fellow men; to exert every ef-
fort of will and reason toward the enrich-
ment of public life; and, finally, to be so
respected by their neighbors and colleagues
that they are entrusted with the power to
make their exertions effective. Such men-
few in number in any society-are them-
selves enriched by their experience, beyond
all measure of counting.
Mr. CHAVEZ. Mr. President, on this
unique occasion, which marks the 50th
anniversary of Senator CARL HAYDEN'S
illustrious service in Congress to his
State of Arizona and his country, it is my
privilege to join with my colleagues to
remark on this occasion, which, my
neighbor, friend, and mentor, CARL HAY
DEN, has made unique.
I add my words to any and all others
which may be said, in complete humility;
knowing beforehand, that nothing I or
anyone else may say now or in the future
can add or detract from the actuality
of the monumental work and untiring
devotion and service which Senator CARL
HAYDEN has given and continues to give
to his State and country.
Let us say that his public life is made
up of many chapters, say 50 chapters-
one for each of his years in Congress.
Each, or any of these chapters alone,
would stand out as a complete book of
accomplishment and greatness for any
man.
His knowledge, his superior judgment,
and sheer hard and persevering work
have backed his sage advice and efforts
and influence on more legislation than
any other Congressman or Senator in
history.
Thus, surely, he has affected and bene-
fited every man, woman, and child in
this country for many years. And will
affect and benefit all of us for years to
come.
But, aside from the permanent and
material benefits which his able and un-
tiring efforts in legislation have made
possible to his State of Arizona and his
country, and these are numberless, CARL
HAYDEN has lived a life of singular de-
votion to public office.
In fact, CARL HAYDEN has written a
new and gloriously shining chapter,
solely on keeping the faith as a public
servant. He has written this glowing
chapter simply by the acts of his own
faith and high purpose and true accom-
plishment through hard work.
Few men in the future will even be
able to hope to equal Senator HAYDEN'S
number of years of accomplishment in
the Congress or even in the Senate.
However, all men can hope and try to
benefit from the example he has set in
living his life of service.
In the years ahead, his exemplary life
may well overshadow the great and last-
ing material benefits which he has been
able to provide for his State and Nation.
His vision and foresight and ability
have provided unnumbered valuable

public benefactions, including dams,
public roads and other public works.
But, his humaneness, integrity, and
humility-the core of his greatness-
may overshadow all his other great ac-
complishments in the Years to come.
This basic pattern of his life, through
inspiration available to all men, in all
walks of life, may give benefits beyond
price to him who chooses to be guided in
daily endeavors by the example of a
great American, a great Senator, and
my friend, CARL HAYDEN.
Mr. BEALL. Mr. President, it is cer-
tainly a privilege for me to join in hon-
oring our colleague from Arizona, Sen-
ator CARL HAYDEN, on this golden anni-
versary of his coming to the Congress.
For half a century, Senator HAYDEN
has willingly deferred to the more lo-
quacious Members of the House and the
Senate to handle the oratory associated
with most legislation while he himself
has accepted the less glamorous but
highly effective role of a worker. His
success is known to each of us and to a
grateful Nation. In fact, an article on
the front page of today's New York Times
states factually that few individuals in
the history of the Congress "have done
so much with so little talk."
On a personal basis, I would like to
say that one of the greatest rewards
of my public life has been the opportu-
nity to form friendships with some of the
outstanding leaders of our Nation, and
I surely share the universally accepted
fact that CARL HAYDEN is in the fore-
front of this group.
His reputation as a great American
and as a true statesman has been well
earned, and he can take justifiable pride
in it.
Mr. LONG of Missouri. Mr. President,
it is a great privilege to join with my col-
leagues in expressing our respect and
admiration for, and our gratitude to, the
senior Senator from Arizona on this day
which marks his completion of 50 years
of dedicated service to the people of the
United States in the Congress.
No Member of Congress had done more
for the Nation and his State than Sen-
ator CARL HAYDEN. Yet he has managed
to do his work without fanfare. He has
labored long and hard doing the most
difficult jobs facing Congress. Whatever
the cause, if it has his support, you know
it is wise and serves the best interest of
the people.
Mr. President, the thing which has
impressed me the most concerning the
senior Senator from Arizona is his shar-
ing of his experience and wisdom with
new Members of the Senate. Even
though he carries the heavy responsibil-
ities of President pro tempore and chair-
man of the Appropriations Committee,
he always has time to give a helping
hand to freshmen Members of the Sen-
ate. During my 18 months in the Sen-
ate, much of my education has been re-
ceived from Senator HAYDEN. When-
ever I have a question concerning legis-
lation, Senate procedure or any other
matter, I always know where I can find
help in reaching an answer. He is never
so busy that he will not share his valu-
able time and wealth of knowledge. He
is truly a great teacher and a great
leader.
Mr. PROUTY. Mr. President, to know
CARL HAYDEN and to serve with him in
the Senate is not a unique experience.
Several thousands of Members of both
Houses of the Congress can be numbered
among those who have shared our per-
sonal good fortune. But the hundreds
of millions of American citizens who
have lived during his congressional
career should realize the great bounty
which has come to us as a nation as a
result of Senator HAYDEN's tenure of
office.
. Fifty years is a very long time. And
for the full length of that time CARL
HAYDEN has devoted himself completely
to the interests of the people of Arizona
and of this entire Nation. Even more
than that, however, Senator HAYDEN's
career of public service extends to 1904-
a grand total of 58 years. I commend'
the people of Arizona for having recog-
nized so early the extraordinary abilities
of this man. Their wise choice has been
nobly rewarded.
Senator HAYDEN is without peer in this
Nation's history with respect to length
of congressional service. He must also
be numbered among a very select few
in our entire history about whom it
could be said that the course which the
United States has pursued through time
was due largely to their efforts.
Mr. President, I have found Senator
HAYDEN to be a good friend, and an able
Senator. But more than that, I have
been impressed most forcefully by his
almost unique effort to disregard the
limelight as he has exercised his very
considerable talent and ability to the
full. Cicero said it this way: "The higher
we are placed, the more humbly should
we walk." CARL HAYDEN is that kind of
Senator.
I am happy to join with my colleagues
in paying tribute to this truly remark-
able man, and to wish him good health
and happiness in the years ahead.
Mr. EASTLAND. Mr. President, it is
a deep personal satisfaction to extend to
CARL HAYDEN my warm and heartfelt
congratulations on this 50th anniversary
of his membership in the U.S. Congress.
His combined record of service in both
the House of Representatives and the
Senate is one that has never been dupli-
cated in the past and will probably never
be surpassed in the future. It is also
most gratifying to know that CARL will
add many more years to this golden an-
niversary.
To catalog CARL HAYDEN's accomplish-
ments as a devoted and capable public
servant would require volumes. His ten-
ure in public life has spanned the most
critical years in the life of our Republic;
years marked by our greatest period of
growth and development and our great-
est periods of supreme trials and tribula-
tions in the course of three great-wars
and the great depression. In spite of
this span of years, there is no Member
of this body today who works harder in
the present and looks forward more zest-
fully to the future than does our be-
loved colleague.
The people of Arizona whom he has
served so faithfully and so well since the
day the State was admitted to the Union
deserve the thanks of all the people in
this country for having made this great
man available to look after the welfare
and interests of all the people of these
United States. Every Member of this
body likewise owes CARL HAYDEN a last-
ing debt for the advice and guidance
that he has given to each of us, not only
when we entered upon our duties as U.S.
Senators, but continuing throughout
whatever period that each of us may
have served.
While we pause today to pay our trib-
ute to 50 full and satisfactory years of
unequaled service and devotion, it is even
more gratifying to know that this day
is just another milepost in the remark-
able career of a man still yet far from
reaching fulfillment.
Mrs. SMITH of Maine. Mr. President,
I wish to join my colleagues in paying
tribute to the senior Senator from
Arizona. I wish also to gratefully ac-
knowledge his many kindnesses to me as
a Member of the Senate and as a mem-
ber of his Appropriations Committee.
It was my pleasure to serve on the
Senate Rules and Administration Com-
mittee when Senator HAYDEN was chair-
man and he was most considerate and
kind as well as being an excellent chair-
man.
I salute him on his tremendous ac-
complishment and wish 50 more years
of happiness for him.
Mr. BURDICK. Mr. President, Sen-
ator HAYDEN, from one of the youngest
in terms of Senate service, to you, one of
the youngest in heart, come these greet-
ings and congratulations. The devotion
shown by your many years of service to
your State and country serves as an un-
paralleled example for the rest of us.
Please accept my best wishes to you for
many full and satisfactory years yet to
come.
Mr. KEATING. W. President, it is
with the warmest sense of pleasure that
I join in the richly earned tribute to
CARL HAYDEN on the occasion of his com-
pletion of a half-century of service to
his State and to his Nation in the Con-
gress of the United States.
The dedication of CARL'S outstanding
talents to the manifold duties and re-
sponsibilities of his career spans a period
of great progress, of tremendous signifi-
cance in the history of our country. He
has contributed notably to that progress
by his own spirit and intellect and en-
ergy. CARL has won a secure place in the
esteem and affection of all of us privi-
leged to serve with him in the Congress
of the United States. I extend to him
the most heartfelt congratulations and
best wishes on this epochal day in his
personal history, and in the history of
his State and Nation.

To several generations of House and

counselor, friend, and guide, and this is
especially %rue of those of us from the
Western States whose problems he
knows so well.
On countless occasions his wisdom has
saved his colleagues and the people of
this country from a trying situation.
One incident that particularly comes to
mind is the dispute last year over the
transmission lines for the Upper Colo-
rado River Basin. Tremendous and con-

that dispute. But CARL HAYDEN's keen

a beacon that guided many others. In

the one which was accepted, and the
people of the West are only beginning
to learn how much it will benefit them
for decades to come.
This episode was only one of many
which our friend from Arizona has
handled in his characteristic quiet and
effective way. Perhaps no one is quite
so much the target of pressures, of
threats and blandishments and pleas, as
is the chairman of the Appropriations
Committee. Everybody wants some-
thing from him, or wants him to deny
something to someone else. Through all
this our friend from Arizona has re-
mained fair and firm to all.
'Arizona and the West and our coun-
try and the world have changed in the
last 50 years in ways that could not
have been imagined when CARL HAYDEN
began his service in the Congress. CARL
has never looked back. Unlike some
younger men, he knows that our world is
changing, willy-nilly, and that we have
to keep running just to stay where we
are.
His voice is seldom heard in debate,
but his influence is felt, and felt deeply,
in every important action taken by this
body. He is a Senator's Senator.
It is almost impossible for me to imag-
ine a Senate Appropriations Committee
headed by anyone else, or indeed a U.S.
Senate without CARL HAYDEN. May he
be with us to share his wisdom and wit,
his vision and courage for many, many
more years to come.
Mr. WILLIAMS of New Jersey. Mr.
President, today we here join in tribute
to a colleague who has achieved an un-
precedented record of service in the Sen-
ate of the United States. His work in
Congress has embraced the entire period
of statehood for Arizona; he has exerted
many forms of service for his State and
for the Nation. It is a privilege to join
in the comments made today for Senator
CARL HAYDEN, but I think one of the best
tributes paid to him was made in the
February-March 1962 issue of Arizona
Highways previously made a part of the
RECORD by Senator YARBOROUGH. Mr.
Charles Franklin Parker, the author of

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE r ` February 110-
the years; he reports that: "CARL HAY-
DEN escapes the usual formula. He is
honored by all-partisan or not. He is
an Arizonian without peer, an American
statesman unique in his position." I
know that all those who have been priv-
ileged to serve as his colleagues will
unanimously ? agree.
Mr. CANNON. Mr. President, it is a
great pleasure for me to add. my voice
to the many that are heard today in
tribute to the 50 years of congressional
service of our esteemed colleague, Sen-
ator CARL HAYDEN, of Arizona.
Senator HAYDEN has been a vital part
in the growth and development of Ari-
zona since the admission of that great
State to the Union. His entire life con-
tains the record of the development of
the State which gave him birth and for
which he has labored so unfailingly.
But his record in the Congress and
in the Senate has been without equal
in the Nation's history. His voice has
been a vibrant and progressive one
through the modern developments of
the United States.
I am particularly grateful for the
warmth of his friendship and the coop-
eration which he has always given to me
and to the younger Senators who came
to Washington lacking the experience
which he so greatly possesses. I think
it fitting that the Nation and particularly
the Senate commend him at this event-
ful moment in his life and in the life of
the State of Arizona, which CARL HAY-
DEN has represented so well and so faith-
fully for half a century.
Thank you Mr. President.
Mr. SMITH of Massachusetts. Mr.
President, it is a privilege for me to
be able to join in the tribute to the sen-
ior Senator from Arizona. Senator HAY-
DEN began his service in Congress be-
fore many of us in this Chamber were
born. His career here spans a half cen-
tury, during which our country devel-
oped into the most modern of nations
and the leader of the world.
It is impossible to estimate how much
of our Nation's growth is due to him.
Every Senator in this Chamber has ben-
efited from his kind counsel and pa-
tient wisdom. Every State in the Union
has benefited from his hard work and
dedication. Every person in America
benefits from the skill with which he
supervises the affairs of the Appropria-
tion Committee.
Truly it can be said Of CARL HAYDEN
that if he would seek a monument he
should look about him-at his col-
leagues who revere him, at a people who
respect him and at a Nation which has
been enriched beyond measure by the
fruits of his labors.
I congratulate him on this anniversary
and I sincerely hope he will be able to
continue his service for a long time to
come.
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, I should
like to identify myself with the many
congratulations which have been ex-
tended today to Senator HAYDEN, and the
respects which have been so properly
paid to one of our very distinguished
Senators, on the great record he has set
in the Senate, during the long and fruit-
ful life he has lived. I wish also to ex-
press my pleasure at the alertness and
the capacity with which,he handles his
responsibility as chairman of the Com-
mittee on Appropriations;' and the great
pleasure which all of us have in seeing
how the years of his service in this great-
est of all deliberative bodies wear so well
upon one of our Members who has been
through so many legislative struggles
that Senator HAYDEN has.
I join my colleagues in bespeaking for
him many years of continued good
health and valuable service to the Nation
and to the free world.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, on
behalf of the distinguished Senator from
Maine [Mr. MusKIEI, who is absent be-
cause of illness, I ask unanimous consent
to have printed in the RECORD at this
point a statement prepared by him in
tribute to the senior Senator from Ari-
zona [Mr. HAYDEN].
There being no objection, the state-
ment was ordered to be printed in the
RECORD, as follows:
TRIBUTE BY SENATOR EDMUND S. MUSKIE
Few men in. the history of our country
have matched the record of service achieved
by our beloved President pro tempore, Sena-
tor HAYDEN. I doubt that many' will in the
future.
If his contribution as a Member of Con-
gress were measured simply in terms of his
length of service it would be impressive
enough. He was first elected as a Member
of the House of Representatives when Ari-
zona became a State. I am'not a little awed
when I reflect that he was sworn in as a
Member of the House 2 years before I was
born. He came to the Senate when I was a
student in the eighth grade.
But Senator HAYDEN does not rank first in
the Senate simply because of his longevity.
He is honored for the devotion he has given
to the service of his State and Nation, for
his steadfast dedication to the principles of
democracy, and for the wisdom he has
brought to the councils of government in
peacg and war.
I shall always be honored to say that I
have served with Senator HAYDEN in the Sen-
ate of the United States. It is a privilege
and a challenge to be counted one of his
colleagues. I salute him and the State
which he represents.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
question is on agreeing to Senate Reso-
lution 296, submitted by the Senator
from Montana [Mr. MANSFIELD] and the
Senator from Illinois [Mr. DIRKSEN7.
The resolution was unanimously
agreed to.
The preamble was agreed to.
LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, for
the information of the Senate I wish
to state that tomorrow a motion will be
made to discharge the Committee on
Government Operations from further
consideration of Reorganization Plan No.
1, which is the Department of Urban
Affairs proposal. It is my understand-
ing that when the motion is made, de-
bate will be limited to 1 hour, and that
a vote will be taken on the motion, if
one is desired.
In the form of a parliamentary in-
quiry, is that statement correct?
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
statement is correct. One hour of de-
bate is permitted on a motion to dis-
charge the committee.
ORDER FOR ADJOURNMENT
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I
ask unanimous consent that when the
Senate concludes its deliberations today
it stand in adjournment to meet.at 12
o'clock noon tomorrow. It
The PRESIDING OFFICER. With-
out objection, it is so ordered.
AMENDMENT OF ACT ESTABLISH-
ING CODE OF LAW FOR THE DIS-
TRICT OF COLUMBIA
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
Chair lays before the Senate the unfin-
ished business, which will be stated by
title.
The LEGISLATIVE CLERK. A bill (H.R.
5143) to amend section 801 of the act
entitled "An act to establish a code of
law for the District of Columbia," ap-
proved March 3, 1901.
PROPOSED DEPARTMENT OF URBAN
AFFAIRS
Mr. MUNDT. Mr. President, we have
heard the announcement by the ma-
jority leader as to the schedule tomor-
row, which means that at 12 o'clock or
soon thereafter there will be a motion
to discharge the committee. I presume,
if the motion is successful, there will
be a move to consider immediately the
reorganization proposal of the President.
Mr. MANSFIELD. The Senator is
correct.
Mr. MUNDT. While I am against the
motion to discharge the committee, that
is not my primary purpose for taking
the floor this afternoon. I wish to say,
however, in the presence of the chairman
'of our committee, I think the diligence
which the Senator from Arkansas [Mr.
MCCLELLAN] and our committe have
devoted to this problem really does not
justify the Senate taking such precipi-
tate action to discharge the committee.
We have held hearings even during
the annual slowdown period of the Lin-
coln Day recess. The committee was in
session and held hearings.
The hearings are not yet printed and
available to the Members of the Senate,
through no fault of the committee, but
solely because during the course of the
hearings some requests were made for
additional information from the Bureau
of the Budget, which the Bureau of the
Budget agreed to supply, which it has
not yet been able to compile and provide
so that the hearings can be completed
and printed.
I submit, for the general consideration
of the Senate in guiding the course of
action tomorrow, when Senators will be
called upon to vote, that the Senate
should not discharge a committee which
has been diligently endeavoring to get
down to the facts, which has been hold-
ing hearings which will be invaluable to
the Members of the Senate in helping
them to arrive at a sound and appropri-
ate conclusion, before the hearings can
be printed and the information made
available. First, it seems to me to do so
would be unduly attempting to destroy
the committee function and the respon-
sibility of the committee system; and,
second, it would sort of make a trav-
