Res. 111) providing for the designation of the week following 'the Fourth of July as Captive Nations Week, was announced as next in order. Mr. KEA'PING. Mr. President,I wish to express my gratitude to all those who cooperated in expediting the passage of Senate Joint Resolution 111 which des- ignates the third week in July of this year as Captive Nations Week. There was fine cooperation among all members of the Committee on the Judiciary to expedite consideration of this measure, and it seems most appropriate that such legislation be enacted following the cele- bration of our own independence. These captive nations deserve our constant thought and should be always in our prayers; and all of us express the hope that those who now suffer from oppres- sion and who have the tyrant's boot on their necks may once again breathe the air of freedom. Mr. BARTLETT.' Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the senior Sena- tor from Illinois [Mr. DOUGLAS] be per- mitted to file a statement in connection with Senate Joint Resolution 111. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. (See exhibit 1.) EXHIBIT 1 STATEMENT BY SENATOR DOUGLAS I an} delighted that the Senate has today adopted Joint Resolution 111 designating the third week of July as Captive Nations Week. With the resumption of the talks at Geneva, 'I believe the adoption of this resolution will strengthen the hand of the representatives of the free nations of the world who will meet with the Communists by serving notice that it is the sense of the Congress of the United States, as well as of the American people, that the tactics which have been so successful for the Communists in taking over weaker nations shall not prevail in the Geneva talks on West Germany. It will also help to reassure our friends behind the Iron Curtain that the free world is ever mindful of their plight, refuses to reconcile itself to their continued enslavement, and is pre- pared to use all peaceful means to help them achieve their ultimate liberation. Congress- man MCCORMACK has assured me that he will work for prompt consideration of the resolution by the House, so that the Presi- dential proclamation can be issued in suffi- cient time to focus attention on it prior to the resumption of the Geneva meeting. At this time, Senator JAVITS and I wish to express our appreciation to the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Mr. EASTLAND, for his courteous assistance in securing prompt consideration of this resolution by his com- mittee. I am-sure the other cosponsors of the joint resolution, Mr. Moss, Mr. BUSH, Mr. LAUSCHE, Mr. SCOTT, Mr. HARTKE, Mr. GREEN, Mr, DopD, Mr. HUMPHREY, Mr. HART, Mr. NED- BERGER, Mr. KEATING, Mr. YOUNG of North Dakota, Mr. ENGLE, Mr. CURTIS, Mr. LANGER, Mr. MORSE, and Mr. CASE of New Jersey, would want to join me in this. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to. the present consideration of the joint resolution? > There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the joint resolu- tion, which had been reported from the Committee on the Judiciary, with an amendment, to strike out all after the resolving clause and insert: That the President of the United States s authorized and requested to issue a July 1969 as "Captive Nations Week" and in- viting the people of the United States to observe such week with appropriate cere- monies and activities. The President is fur- ther authorized and requested to issue a similar proclamation each year until such time as freedom and independence shall have been achieved for all the captive nations of the world. The amendment was agreed to. The joint resolution was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading, read the third time, and passed. The title was amended, so as to read: "Joint resolution providing for the desig- nation of the third week of July as Cap- tive Nations Week." The preamble was agreed to. _.-- BILL PASSED OVER The bill (S. 2162) to provide a health benefits program for Government em- ployees was announced as next in order. Mr. KEATING. Over, by request. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill will be passed over. CAPTAIN ANTHONY MELDAHL LOCKS AND DAM The bill (H.R. 904) to rename the New Richmond locks and dam in the State of Ohio as the Captain Anthony Meldahl locks and dam was considered, ordered to a third reading, read the third time and passed. BILLS PASSED OVER The bill (H.R. 3460) to amend the Ten- nessee Valley Authority Act of 1933, as amended, and for other purposes, was announced as next in order. Mr. BARTLETT. Over, by request, since this measure is not calendar busi- ness. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objec- tion is heard, and the bill will be passed over. TERMS OF OFFICE OF MEMBERS OF REGULATORY COMMISSIONS BILL PASSED OVER The bill (S. 1965) to establish certain provisions with respect to the removal and the terms of office of the members of certain regulatory agencies was an- nounced as next in order. Mr. KEATING. Over, by request. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill will be passed over. Mr. MAGNUSON. Mr. President, I wonder whether the distinguished Sen- ator from New York and the Senator from Alaska will allow the title of the bill to be amended, so that the bill with its proper title will be before the Senate, as was intended, because the committee struck out the section which dealt with the removal of officers. So I ask unanimous consent that the title be amended to read as follows, "A bill to make uniform provisions of law with respect to the terms of office of the members of certain regulatory agencies. July 6 The removal section was deleted from the bill. I make that request, Mr. President. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair wishes to inform the Senator from Washington that the title of the bill can- not be amended until the bill has been passed. Mr. MAGNUSON. Very well. But I wish to point out that the committee considered that the problem of the re- moval of officers should await action in the future. PLACING OF CHILDREN IN FAMILY HOMES The Senate proceeded to consider the bill (S. 746) to amend the act entitled "An Act to regulate the placing of chil- dren in famil1 homes and for other pur- poses", approved April 22, 1944, as amended. The bill had been reported from the Committee on the District of Columbia with amendments. Mr. MORSE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the RECORD an explanation of this bill. There being no objection, the state- ment was ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows: S. 746, To AMEND THE ACT ENTITLED "AN ACT To REGULATE THE PLACING OF CHILDREN IN FAMILY HOMES, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES," APPROVED APRIL 22, 1944, AS AMENDED, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES The purpose of this bill is to amend the act of April 22, 1944, so as to accomplish the following: (1) Permit the acknowledgment of the relinquishment of parental rights before a person authorized to administer oaths as well as before a representative of a licensed child-placing agency. This change would obviate the present necessity of either hav- ing a mother who has left this jurisdiction having to return to effect the relinquish- ment, or the alternative of having a repre- sentative of a licensed agency travel to the new home of the mother for the purpose of witnessing the acknowledgment; and (2) Permit the Commissioners of the Dis- trict to delegate their authority contained in existing law to execute agreements with any person, firm, corporation, association, or public agency authorized by a State or coun- try for the care and placement of minors to allow the person, agency, etc., to place non- resident children in foster or adoption homes In the District. It is anticipated that there will be some decrease in cost to the District as a result of enactment of the bill. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The committee amendments will be stated. The amendments of the, Committee on the District of Columbia were on page 3, line 15, after the word "said", to strike out "court." and insert "court." ", and at the top of page 4, to strike out: SEC. 3. Subsection (b) (2) of section 6 of the Act entitled :'An Act to prescribe and regulate the procedure for adoption in the District of Columbia", approved June 8," 1954 (68 Stat. 242; sec. 16 213(b), D.C. Code, 1951 edition) is amended as follows: "(a) by striking therefrom subparagraphs a and b and inserting in lieu thereof the following: "'a. both parents, If they are or were mar- ried and axe both alive, or the surviving parent if one is dead; or'; "(b) by relettering subparagraph e as b and amending it to read as follows: Approved For Release 2004/05/13 CIA-RDP91-00965R000300110034-9 Approved For Release 2004/05/13 : CIA-RDP9i-0096tR000300110034-9 July 9, 1959 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE 11947 tive session for the consideration of bills that are in that status, so that action may be expedited and they may be in order for the consideration of the House, . I kri agrees Mr. two Congresses I had the responsibility of majority lea er, that the gentleman from Massachus' is now has. I realize that things need V ,fie done, and if com- mittee action can b pedited, the busi- ness of the Congress be disposed of. I might add, of tours der the Reor- ganization Act, if we re not in a na- tional emergency, we w ul. be required to adjourn by July 31. I~tyou'iq add only to that this statement: If g on here into September, the vacatio ms~s"" on is gone and it works a terrific harsls on H.R. 5676, District of Columbia appro- priation bill for 1960. Any later program will be announced, of course. I make the usual reservation as to the consideration of conference reports. Of course, if legislation is re- ported out of committee and a rule is granted on it, the leadership would feel 'constrained to bring the bill up as quickly as possible. Mr. HALLECK. There is one question I would like to ask the gentleman from Massachusetts, and the gentleman may or may not be able to answer it, but I notice in the press that the Committee on Ways and Means either officially or unofficially has agreed upon some legis- lation having to do with interest rates, on long-term obligations of the Govern' ment. Is it possible that that miglIt come up next week? 11 . the Members with youngsters and elr Mr. McCORMACK. Just givi ig a families. So far as I am concerned, ] eye curbstone answer to the gentlemen, be- no reason why we should not be able, to, cause again may I say, as the Members get necessary legislation out of commit- -.,know, these things all go through a tees and dispose of it, perhaps, if not by process of consultation between the July 31 but early in August or by mid- leadership on both sides so that both August so that we could adjourn sine die. Mr. McCORMACK. The program for the House of Representatives for the week of July 13, 1959, is as follows: Monday Is District day and the follow- ing bills will be in order: H.R. 7145, regulation, life insurance business. H.R. 7907, amend, Saint Ann's Infant and Maternity Home. S. 866, illustrations, annual reports. H.R. 7683, tax exemption, Veterans' of Foreign Wars. H.R. 303, Oldest Inhabitants Associa- tion. H.R. 6893, amend Stadium Act, park-, ing areas. S. 660, amend Business Corporation Act. H.R. 4192, ministers' communications privileges. Mr. Speaker, with the permission of my friend, the gentleman from Indiana, any rollcalls on Monday and Tuesday will go over until Wednesday because there is a primary in Virginia on Tuesday. Is that agreeable? Mr. HALLECK. Yes. Mr. McCORMACK. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent at this time so that the Members will know what the situa- tion is and be . protected, that in the event there are any rollcalls on Monday and Tuesday, excluding, of course, roll- calls on rules, and as of this time I see no such eventuality since there are no bills, here on which there would be a rule, but iii- keeping with the usual practice, I make that reservatiot-I ask unanimous consent that any ollcalls - that might take place on Mona y and Tuesday shall be postponed to W nesday of next week. The SPEAKEpro tempore (Mr. ALBERT). Is there objection to the re- quest of the ge itleman from Massachu- setts? - - There was no objection. Mr. McCORMACK.- Mr. Speaker, the balance of the legislative program is as Tuesday, there will be two conference reports: H.R. 5674, authorization, construction of military installations. sid,elf,may have a common, understand- ing o:t- the situation, but 1y immediate reacti~lAto that, without' being held to it deiil~it8gy, would be that if that bill comes out 'rind a rule is reported out, I would brl lg - that bi)I up. That is an important piece of legislation that the House should cos}der and dispose of in one way or anQtl }fir. Mr. HALLEC#. I would venture to express the hope that probably we could dispose of, that on Wednesday next if a bill is reported and a, rule is granted be- cause it is matter that I'think we have ,to deal with in one way or the other. Mr, McCORMACK. Apparently, it is in process of being dealt with. __ _I might have some quiet reservations of m~ own, but I will not express them at this time. Mr, HALLECK. I thank the gentle- CENTENARIAN HAS NO FORMULA (Mrs. ROGERS of Massachusetts asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to include as part of her remarks an article in the Lowell Sun.) Mrs. ROGERS of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I hold in my hand an article from the Lowell Sun about a centena- rian, of 101 years of age. She is Mrs. Adelaide Proctor. I have her picture here and she certainly looks 30 years younger than her 101. She lives in Ayer, in my district. Having no formula to suggest for a long life it is obvious Mrs. Proctor believes that peace of mind is associated with right living and that sat- isfaction and happiness comes from a useful, productive life. A century plus one year is a long time in the history of America. When Mrs. Proctor was born, Abraham Lincoln was still to be elected President of the United States, the Civil War had not taken place, California was a long distance from Washington, and the horse was the easiest and best method of travel. Dur- ing her long life, Mrs. Proctor has 'ex- perienced the most productive century in the history of mankind. Mrs. Proctor is a resident of Ayer, Mass., a town in my congressional district. It is a beautiful town and a very healthful place in which to live. Located here is fhe great Fort Dev- ens where the Arlly'has developed many strong men w3 o have distinguished themselves in the defense of our coun- try. To live s/long and to be so young is indeed a achievement in living worthy of honor'and respect. I know the Mem- bers o 'the House of Representatives are trenlyendously interested and are pleased to ause for a few moments to hear about and read about this charming and tine New England lady, Mrs. Adelaide 'Proctor, and her splendid family of God- fearing citizens and fine neighbors. May her good health continue, and may she be blessed with many more years of fine living! (The article referred to follows:) CENTENARIAN HAS No FORMULA (By Daniel G. Buckley) AYER.-This town's centenarian-plus-one is an excellent example of what hard work plus a slower way of life can do for a person. Mrs. Adelaide H. Procter, of 17 Prospect Street, Ayer, celebrated her 101st birthday on June 25, certainly a remarkable achieve- ment in this day and age. She doesn't show her age, though. Very alert and charming, she still manages to appear 30 years younger. Many years ago she obtained a cane and hung it on a radiator in the parlor, just in case she ever needed it. Up to a few years ago it had never been used, so Mrs. Procter had it put into the back shed. It is still there, and by all appearances it will remain there. Recalling the days of her youth, she re- membered that life went on at a much slower pace than it does now. The hectic hustle and bustle of our day was absent; the life of the late 1800's was quiet and sedate. Horses and buggies were the mode of trans- portation, and family life centered around the home and church. In 1877 she married Herbert Procter and for a while lived in Danvers. They theii moved to Ayer and have lived in this town since then. Herbert died. at the age oY 84, and Mrs. Procter moved in with her children V&-companionship. - Mrs. Procter says that she is very fortunate in having all. her children near her. She had .four, anti they all live in Ayer, two daughters, I4rs. Callte Murphy and Mrs. Marion Burk- hbxt, and-two sons, Carl and Herbert. Also two-.grandchildren and four great grandchil- dren ugmen~her family. In h younger days she did a great deal of fine eedlewbk, but the fine work has become to much 4or her eyesight. Most of her enjoy ent co es now from television and autom bile rides She is a m ber of Ilse Ayer Woman's Club and the Federated Workers of the Federated Church. Asked if she had any recipe for longevity, Mrs. Procter said that in held belief it just happens for no apparent reasorl, She has no formula. ' _ LABOR REFORM LEGISLATION (Mr. BERRY asked and was given per- mission to address the House for 1 min- ute and to revise and extend his re- marks.) Mr. BERRY. Mr. Speaker, Members of Congress demand that the House La- bor Committee bring a labor reform bill to the House floor immediately. Approved For Release 2004/05/13 : CIA-RDP91-00965R000300110034-9 11948 Approved For Release ?2004/05/13 : CIA?RDP91-00965ROO0300110034-9 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE The country demands a labor reform bill, and, by and large, it wants a strong labor bill. Not only that, but they want it this year. With elections coming up next year there is no hope of getting any reform legislation then. To be a reform bill, any legislation must do three things: First. It must prohibit secondary boy- cotts, where a union refuses to install a door or a piece of equipment simply be- cause it was not manufactured by union labor. Second. It must prohibit blackmail picketing, where a union boss walks into a place of business and serves notice that since his employees are not organized the union will picket his shop or his plant or his store until his employees are organized. Third. It must give final adjudication of Federal and State jurisdiction, clear- Ing up the "no man's land" that present- ly exists when `NLRB refuses to take jurisdiction. In addition, the bill must provide for the reporting of union finances and for regular and full reporting of union wel- fare funds that the membership may know how their funds are being man- aged. PERMISSION TO PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE TO FILE REPORT Mr. SMITH of Mississippi. Mr. Speak- er, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Public Works may have until midnight tonight to file a report on the bill H.R. 7125. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Mississippi? There was no objection. CAPTIVE NATIONS WEEK Mr, McCORMACK. Mr. Speaker, I offer a resolution (S.J. Res. 111) and ask unanimous consent for its present con- sideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as" follows: Whereas, the greatness of the United States is In large part attributable to its having been able, through the democratic process, to achieve a harmonious national unity of its people, even though they stem from the most diverse of racial, religious, and ethnic backgrounds; and Whereas this harmonious unification of the diverse elements of our free society has led the people of the United States to possess a warm understanding and sympathy for the aspirations of peoples everywhere and to recognize the natural interdependency of the peoples and nations of the world; and Whereas the enslavement of a substantial part of the world's population by Communist imperialism makes a mockery of the idea of peaceful coexistence between nations and constitutes a detriment to the natural bonds of understanding between the people of the '. United States and other peoples; and Whereas since .1918 the imperialistic and aggressive policies of Russian communism have resulted in the creation of a vast em- pire which poses a dire threat to the security of the United States and of all the free peo- ples of the world; and Whereas the imperialistic policies of Com- munist Russia have led, through direct and Indirect aggression, to the subjugation of the national independence of Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Estonia, White Ruthenia, Rumania, East Germany, Bulgaria, mainland China, Ar- menia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, North Korea, Albania, Idea-Ural, Tibet, Cossackia, Turk- estan, North Vietnam, and others; and Whereas these submerged nations look to the United States, as the citadel of human freedom, for leadership in bringing about their liberation and independence and in restoring to them the enjoyment of their Christian, Jewish, Moslem, Buddhist, or other religious freedoms, and of their indi- vidual liberties; and Whereas it is vital to the national security of the United States that the desire for liberty and independence on the part of the peoples of these conquered nations should be steadfastly kept alive; and Whereas the desire for liberty and inde- pendence by the overwhelming majority of the people of these submerged nations con- stitutes a powerful deterrent to war and one of the best hopes for a just and lasting peace; and Whereas it is fitting that we clearly mani- fest to such peoples through an appropriate and official means the historic fact that the people of the United States share with them their aspirations for the recovery of their freedom and independence: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the President of the United States is authorized and re- quested to issue a proclamation designating the third week in July 1959 as "Captive Na- tions Week" and inviting the people of the United. States to observe such week with ap- propriate ceremonies and activities. The President is further authorized and re- quested to issue a similar proclamation each year until such time as freedom and inde- pendence shall have been aefiieved for all the captive nations of the world. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the present consideration of the resolution? There was no objection. (Mr. JUDD asked and was given per- mission to extend his remarks at this point in the RECORD) [Mr. JUDD addressed the House. His remarks will appear hereafter in the Appendix.] GENERALLEAVETO EXTEND ON THE RESOLUTION Mr. McCORMACK. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Mem- bers who mny desire to do so may have permission to extend their remarks at this point in the RECORD on this reso- lution. The-SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentle- man from Massachusetts? There was no objection. Mr. McCORMACI. Mr. Speaker, I move to strike out the last word. Mr. Speaker, this is a very important resolution that will have tremendous effect on the minds of men and women everywhere throughout the world who are subjected to Communist dictation and who desire 'to be free under their own law. It is not my intention to speak at length on this matter because we all know of the situation in many countries, for example, in Hungary, Poland, Lithu- ania, Latvia, Estonia, Czechoslovakia, and in the other countries mentioned in the resolution where Communist im- perialism and atheistic communism have gained control of the government and July 9 have imposed conditions of evil and per- secution and even imprisonment and death upon the people. :I was very much interested in read- ing in the paper this morning an ac- count of an interview Mr. Kozlov had with Governor Williams of Michigan, in which Mr. Kozlov, Deputy Prime Min- ister of the Soviet Union, is reported to have said: One thing he- Meaning Governor Williams- does not understand is that the people of Eastern Europe now have governments which they have chosen through their own free will. He first said that the United States charged the Russian people for the food we gave them after, World War I: False- hood No. 1. Out on the west coast he said that Jewish people of the Soviet Union are living under better conditions than they are in Israel: Falsehood No. 2. And this is another falsehood when he undertakes to tell the American people or anyone that the people of Eastern` Europe now have governments which they have chosen through their own free will. One of the agreements they made was that the people of those countries would be permitted to have a free elec- tion under conditions of the secret ballot, internationally supervised, to determine the form of government that they wanted. That agreement they broke. That is an agreement that we should press them to keep. Everyone knows that the statement made by Mr. Kozlov yesterday about the people of Eastern Europe having chosen their own gov- ernment of their own free will is as far removed from the truth as any state- ment that could be made. Mr. BENTLEY. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. McCORMACK. I yield to the gentleman from Michigan. Mr. BENTLEY. I am happy to join the distinguished majority leader in his support of Senate Joint Resolution 111 because I had a companion bill intro- duced in the House some days ago that is now pending before the Committee on the Judiciary. I am delighted that this is being brought up at the present time and I hope it passes quickly, because I think it is of tremendous importance that the Congress of the United States take this action to convince the millions of captive peoples throughout the world, living under some form or other of com- munism, that we still are interested in their liberation, their independence, and their freedom which we hope will come soon. Referring to the gentleman's mention of the interview in Michigan, I believe it was yesterday or the day before, be- tween Governor Williams and the Soviet, First Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Kos- lov, I am wondering if the distinguished majority leader will not agree with me that although Mr. Koslov stated a tre- mendous number of falsehoods with re- gard to the position of the satellite gov- ernments in eastern Europe, Governor Williams should have expected such an answer if he posed these questions to him. The answers are certainly those Approved For Release 2004/05/1.3: CIA-RDP91-00965R000300110034-9 1959 ` Approvedlor Release 2004/05/13 : CIA-RDP91-00965R000300110034-9 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE that would be expected of the No. 2 Soviet leader. Mr. McCORMACK. In response to the gentleman's inquiry I will say that Gov- ernor Williams has done a great service to the people of America and to the peo- ple of the free world by asking the ques- tions he did and by getting the answers he did and in exposing them. I am sure the gentleman will agree with that. Mr. BENTLEY, I may say to the gen- tleman from Massachusetts that I can- not see that what Mr. Koslov told Gov- ernor Williams is something that has not been repeated time and again. Very frankly, I will say that personally I com- mend the attitude of Mayor Miriani of ,Detroit more than I do that of the Gov- ernor, because the mayor of Detroit re- fused to meet with Mr. Koslov, he refused to accept him in Detroit as a distin- guished guest and chose, to ignore his presence in Detroit. I would accept that approach rather than the approach of Governor Williams whirl I do not think, with all due respect to fny friend from Massachusetts, brought out anything new or useful as far as the Soviets are concerned. Mr. McCORMACK. This is a state- ment made by the second ranking man in the Soviet Union, it is made while he is in the United States and everyone knows it is incorrect. Might I make an observation. You know, I do not like to see so many high ranking officials of my Government and other governments pilgrimaging to Moscow to meet Mr. Khrushchev. I think it is a dangerous thing. The psychological effect of their going over there and bowing to Mr. Khrushchev creates a wrong impression in many countries of the world. I think they ought to realize the deeper implica- tions involved. And while talking about a foreign min- isters meeting, let us not overlook the fact as Americans that Mr. MacMillan has already had his summit meeting with. Mr. Khrushchev. We should be very careful about getting into -a summit meeting at any price. Mr. WALTER. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. McCORMACK. I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania. Mr. WALTER. I am very happy to join with the distinguished majority leader in urging the adoption of this resolution. Anything that we can do to keep alive the awareness of the real menace of the Communist conspiracy is, of course, very important. I have been terribly disappointed in the last few days because of the selec- tion. of some of the items included in the art exhibition that has gone to Moscow. Not because I would substitute one form of art for another. I am no more of an art expert than is the President of the United States. And not because I would suppress one form of art or another. And not because I would like to interfere with what a Communist draws or paints or who buys the prod- ucts of his talent. I. certainly do not care about that. What disturbs me, however, is the fact that people in high positions failed to ?eognize that art is a weapon used very No. 115-12 cleverly by the Communists. The or- ganizers of our exhibit in Moscow should have realized that what we show there could be used against us. They failed dismally to take that obvious truth into account. In addition to that, the group of peo- ple charged with the responsibility of selecting the items to be included in our Moscow art exhibit deliberately ignored instructions and for no reason decided that no work of art produced before 1918 would be included' in the exhibit. That rule has automatically excluded some of the best American names, to mention only Bellows and Whistler. Now, belatedly, after our protests were heard, the U.S. Information Agency is hastily gathering some of the .deliber- ately omitted works of art and sending them to Moscow. I say that the U.S. Information Agency should have ignored entirely the recommendations made by this strange jury. Mr. JUDD. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. McCORMACK. I yield to the gentleman from Minnesota. Mr. JUDD. Mr. Speaker, I join the majority leader in welcoming this op-, portunity to adopt this resolution. If we are to get through this crisis in which the world is embroiled without war, our best hope lies in the will to resist of the 900 million people behind the Iron Cur- tain. Always in the past human beings have found ways to bring down their tyrants, and they will find ways to weaken and bring down their present tyrants-if we just do not build the tyrants up, and do not dishearten or dis- courage the people who are suffering under them. Those peoples will not be fooled by the sort of blandishments or bold misstatements that Mr. Kozlow is uttering. Only one thing might cause them to give up-namely, if we and other free peoples were to give the im- pression that we have forgotten them and have agcepted what Kruschchev calls the "historic changes"-meaning enslavement. I must say frankly that in our talks at Geneva, both this time and the time before, I felt that our Government ought to take the offensive, politically, more than we generally do. When they say, "why not reduce your garrison in West Berlin?" we ought to come right back with, "We will be happy to reduce our garrison in West Berlin if you will re- duce your troops in East Germany." When they ask that Berlin be a free city, we should counter with, "Gladly, when you let all Germany be a free country." When they say we must end the "ab- normal situation" in West Berlin, we should respond that they must end the far more abnormal situation in Budapest. We must not let them get away with the kind of misrepresentation to which the gentleman from Massachusetts has referred, that.all the peoples in Eastern Europe have voluntarily chosen and prefer the kind of government they are now under. The complete answer to that effrontery is shown in Berlin itself. Two thousand human beings a week, on the average, are still going from East 11949 Berlin to West Berlin. Nobody is going from west, to east. More than 3 mil- lion human beings in all have escaped to freedom through West Berlin since the war. Do 3 million people risk life to get away from governments they have chosen, approve, or support? Actually, the Communists are in more trouble there than we are. First, West Berlin is a showcase for freedom, The contrast between the two sides of the border gives everlasting denial to the Communist propaganda that commu- nism is good Jor and supported by the common people. Second, West Berlin is an escape hatch that gives hope to op- pressed peoples. Naturally the Reds would like to close it up; and they would like to have us agree to turning the key in the lock of the jail that is Eastern Europe. Third, there is unrest in East Germany. The Russians have 22 divi- sions tied down in East Germany to maintain the peace. They cannot safely start operations somewhere else around their border because they know that East Germany and the rest of Eastern Europe would explode against them if given a chance. The Reds are also in trouble in China. Some people look at the cruel methods the Communists are employing in their efforts to break up the family system there, before it wears them down, as an evidence of their power. Actually, the communes are a sign not of genuine strength, but of weakness. No govern- ment that is enthusiastically and loyally supported by its people has to lock them up in barracks every night and send them out to work in the fields in the daytime under armed guards like convicts on a road gang. Mr. Speaker, this is a time to send, another message of reassurance to the captive peoples, as this resolution does. We need frequently to tell the people of the world, those who are our allies or who are neutrals, those few who are enemies and might mistake our courtesy for weakness, and especially those behind the Iron Curtain, that we will. never for- get them or let them down. That is the assurance they need to enable them to hang on until ultimate victory and free- dom. To try to soften up the Kremlin by deserting these oppressed peoples would crush their spirits and create more difficulties for ourselves than it could cure. We believe that all men were born to be free and we want them to know that they can count 'on the United States to be steadfast. As they work from with- in they can depend on loyal support from us from without. This resolution will. send a message of hope to millions of people in great need. I appreciate the gentleman's cooperation and, in fact, initiative in bringing it before the House today. Mr. McCORMACK, I might say that the gentleman from Minnesota and I are about as close in agreement on foreign affairs as any two Members in this House. Mr. JOHANSEN. W. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. McCORMACK. I yield to the gentleman from Michigan, Approved For Release 2004/05/13 : CIA-RDP9,1-00965R000300110034-9 .11050 Approved For Release 2004/05/13 : CIA-RDP91-00965R000100110034-9 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -HOUSE July Mr. JOHANSEN. Mr. Speaker, I -would like to associate myself with this resolution. I am reminded, however, of the statement that Ralph Waldo Emerson made, that "What you do speaks so loud I cannot hear what you say." I wonder sometimes whether the people of these capitve nations do not have something of thatN feeling about some of, the things we do. We fall all over ourselves to extend hospitality to the visiting leaders of Soviet Russia- their captors-and, as the distinguished majority leader has mentioned, our leaders parade to Moscow to visit Com- munist officials. I wonder if itdoes not sometimes leave a most confused im- pression among the captive peoples as to whether we mean what we do or whether we mean what we say. In that connection I should like to say, in view of the reference of my colleague from Michigan [Mr. BENTLEY] to the Mayor of Detroit, that on Saturday, Independ- ence Day,,I sent a two-sentence telegram to Mayor Miciani saying: "All honor to you for refusing hospitality to an Am- bassador of deceit, treachery, and mur- derous ill will." And I added, "I am proud that this new declaration of in- dependence came from Michigan." I thank the distinguished majority leader for yielding. Mr. MONAGAN. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. McCORMACK. I yield to the gentleman from Connecticut. Mr. MONAGAN. Mr. Speaker, I am happy to join the distinguished majority leader, the gentleman from Minnesota [Mr. JUDD], and other Members in sup- port of this resolution. I think that it performs a very useful function in keep- ing alive in the minds and hearts of the people of the captive nations, the fact that we are with them and the fact that some day they may achieve the liberty which we enjoy and to which they hope to return. I should also say that I would like to commend the majority leader for con- fronting Mr. Koslov with a factual an- swer to the misstatements that he has made, because one of the techniques of totalitarians is to continue and continue to state an untruth until it is accepted as a truth; and by confronting the mis- statement with the facts, as the gentle- man has done, he has performed a` most useful function. I congratulate him. Mr. McCORMACK. I thank the gen- tleman very much. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without 'objection, the previous question is or- dered. The question is on the joint resolu- tion. The joint resolution was ordered to be read a third time, was `read the third time, and passed, and a motion to re- conslder was laid on the stable. POLEMICAL PURPIiE PASSAGES OR WHO THREW THE GARDENIA IN MR. CANNON'S INKWELL? (Mr. MONAGAN asked and was given permission to address the House and to revise and extend his remarks.). Mr. MONAGAN. Mr. Speaker, Con- gress is not noted for restraint in verbal expression. The explosive issues which arise in this great legislative body often generate powerful emotions which can- not be restrained within linguistic boundaries which would satisfy a Lamb or a Macaulay. As Members of Congress, our pulses quicken at the inspired vehemence of a BILLY MATTHEWS fighting with adjectives to drive back the invading waves of water lilies from the storied Suwanee River. And when DAN FLOOD, mustach- ios bristling and voice quivering with righteous indignati+n, rises to assault the brass hats in the Pentagon with verbal blockbusters, our nerves quiver with ex- citement. Stratospheric as some of these gen- tlemen's flights of wordy fancy may have been, I suggest that a new challenger has entered the lists in the person of our revered chairman of the Appropriations Committee, the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. CANNON], whose contribution of June 30, 1959, busts the sonic barrier with a resounding crash. Commenting mournfully-at page 11206 of the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-on the lack of general appreciation for the valiant role played by the Appropria- tions Committee as fiscal Horatios fight- ing a desperate rearguard action against the spenders, the gentleman from Mis- souri delivered himself of the following: Too often the House leadership trips gaily down the primrose path of dalliance between the tellers, leading the procession to hike the appropriations above the budget estimates-on a recent bill exhibiting states- manlike determination to spend the taxpay- ers money on water lilies, for example. Conservative though he may be finan- cially, the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. CANNON] is obviously a blooming linguistic leftwinger when it comes to hyperbole. Leaving aside the matter of the in- obtrusive water hyacinths, Iinvite your attention to the picture of "the House leadership tripping gaily down the prim- rose path of dalliance." Webster says that "primrose" in con- nection with "path" means "gay-hence devoted to sensual pleasures." The same authority states that "dalliance" is "the act of dallying; trifling esp., amorous or wanton play; fondling." Shakespeare in Hamlet writes of the "puff'd and reckless libertine treading the primrose path of 'dalliance." Come now Mr. CANNON. Are we to assume that the ascetic gen- tleman from Massachusetts [Mr. MCCoR- MACK], and the monkish gentleman from Texas [Mr. RAYBURN], are in reality semi-satyrs given to scandulous doings in the center aisle of the House Chamber? Or has the gentleman's passion for shielding the product of his committee led him to explode this purple passage somewhat like the defensive squid eject- ing his deposit of protective liquid. Whatever the explanation may be, the prospect of the gentleman from Missouri in full oratorical flight was an amazing, educational, and admirable one to a new Member ai}d provided evidence that fiscal and literary conversation are not neces- sarily synonymous. MATSON NAVIGATION ;G`O.-FIRST IN THE PACIFIC The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. AL- BERT). Under previous order of the House, the gentleman from California [Mr. GEORGE P. MILLER] is recognized for 20 minutes. (Mr. GEORGE P. MILLER asked and was given permission to revise and ex- tend his remarks.) Mr. GEORGE P. MILLER. Mr. Speak- er, the advertising slogan of Matson Navigation Co.-"First in the Pacific '- is no idle boast. For 77 years, from the time Capt. Wil- liam Matson first sailed his three-masted schooner Emma Claudina from San Francisco to the then independent na- tive Kingdom of Hawaii, the pioneering shipping company that bears his name has demonstrated the ingenuity and de- pendability of American shipping to the world. This epoch-making San Francisco corporation has a long and notable rec- ord of firsts in the maritime world and now, with the dream of statehood for Hawaii about to become reality-ex- pected to be in late August-Matson Navigation Co. is taking bold new steps to serve the growing needs of our newest State-to-be. By next February, for example, Mat- son will have the first full container ship in the Pacific carrying 300 24-foot-long, 81/2-foot-high, and 8-foot-wide alumi- num containers in her hull with goods of all descriptions for the booming populace of the Aloha State. The ship,. the Ha- waiian Citizen, will also have space for 40 additional containers on her deck. The multimillion dollar conversion of the Hawaiian Citizen is only part of the enterprising company's long-range con- tainerization program which Matson President Randolph Sevier estimates may total upwards of $40 million. At present Matson operates a fleet of six C--3 type cargo ships between California, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii that carry up to 75 containers on their weather decks. To streamline the handling of these trailer-size containers atthe marshaling yards and terminals operated on the west coast by Matson Terminals, Inc., a subsidiary of the parent company, Mat- son has ordered two $350,000 special purpose shoreside gantry cranes built for use at Los Angeles and at Honolulu. The cranes, first of their type ever seen on any waterfront, will duplicate the 25- ton capacity automatically controlled Matson crane in use at Encinal Ter- minals, -Alameda, Calif., terminus for Matson's container operations in the San Francisco Bay area. Last February 4, at an open house staged by Encinal before hundreds of maritime, military, civic and business leaders, Encinal's President Donald L. Dullum declared that "the entire Matson organization deserves much credit for the energy, foresight and courage they have demonstrated" In pioneering in the use of large containers. The use of these containers by Mat son's shippers and consignees means swifter deliveries at ports of destination because container freight is handled Approved For Release 2004/05/13 CIA-RDP91-000965R000300110034-9 25X1 SECRET CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY OFFICIAL ROUTING SLIP TO NAME: AND ADDRESS INITIALS DATE I Mr. Warner, Le is.
