Denver, which also is enjoying great suc-
cess and is doing a terrific volume of
business.
Now the Golden Ox is coming to the
Nation's Capital. Mr. Dillingham felt
that his many friends on Capitol Hill,
and the people of Washington jn general,
would welcome this type of a restaurant
here. An excellent location was found
at 1615 L Street NW., about midway
between the Statler Hilton and May-
flower Hotels and in the very heart of
Washington's finest business and shop-
ping area. The official opening took
place on Wednesday, October 10, 1962,
and all indications are that it will be a
great success. Before very long, I am
sure, many people in government, poli-
tics, business, industry, the professions,
and others, will come there to enjoy the
pleasant atmosphere, the good food, and
the excellent service.
Incidentally, Mr. Dillingham is an out-
standing authority on the livestock in-
dustry and has served as an adviser to
the Department of Agriculture on this
industry. He is a close personal friend
of two of our beloved former Presi-
dents, Harry Truman and Dwight D.
Eisenhower, as well as Senator STUART
SYMINGTON and many others in both
Houses of Congress. He is also a former
president of the Kansas City Chamber
of Commerce and was selected in 1957
as the Missouri "Father of the Year."
And finally, a word about the man who
manages the Golden Ox Restaurant in
Washington, Mr. Charles F. Snyder.
Although only 30 years of age, he has had
about 10 years of experience in quality
food management in restaurants from
Nantucket Island, Mass., to Dallas, Tex.,
his most recent position having been
with the Marriott Motor Hotels. He was
born and raised in the Pennsylvania
Dutch country, has a B.A. degree from
Middlebury College at Middlebury, Vt.
It was during his college years that
he developed the desire to learn the res-
taurant business, and this has come to
a successful and happy fruition. He has
acquired extensive knowledge about beef
and is considered an authority on fat
beef cattle, and aging, selection and cut-
ting of fine beef. He was manager of
the famous Safari Beef House in Dallas
and served as special training adviser to
the Dallas Restaurant Association and
the University of Texas Extension
School. Mr. Synder now resides with his
wife and three children in Fairfax, Va.
These are the people who have now
brought to Washington a taste of the
graceful atmosphere and the good food
of long ago. Mark Twain described it
beautifully in his autobiography where,
in speaking of the sumptuous meals of
Midwest America of his day, he writes
that "the way the food was cooked was
perhaps the main splendor." At the
Golden Ox this old Missouri tradition is
today "the main splendor." Which only
proves once again the spirit of enter-
prise, the great resources and the rich
heritage of the American people, today
and yesterday.
SPEECH
OF
HON. WILLIAM C. CRAMER
OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, October 11, 1962
(Mr. CRAMER asked and was given
permission to address the House for i
minute and to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. CRAMER.. Mr. Speaker, as, the
Members of this House well know, I have
been in opposition to this abortive Cas-
tro blackmail and indemnity demand of
dollars for prisoners, $60 million. I see
lT
now that there is a suggestion that
funds may be used for this purpose.
I would like to as anyone `fn this
House, did they knowingly and willingly
vote any money or any authorization that
would permit $60 million of the taxpay-
ers' money or even foodstuffs to go to
Fidel Castro, whom I thought Congress
in its recent resolution said is the enemy
of freedom, whom we are fighting, not
helping-even authorizing the President
to use force of arms to dispose of this
Communist threat to the Western Hemi-
sphere?
Why do we not be compassionate for
American prisoners over there? I am
just as compassionate for the prisoners
Castro now holds as anyone. Why do we
not follow up the situation in Cuba by a
strong anti-Castro drive? I am com-
-passionate for Americans who are prison-
ers in Cuba as well. I said yestereday
there were 10 of them. I say now there
are at least 20. I have a list of 10 right
here.
Why are we not compassionate for
American prisoners held in Cuba? Ap-
parently we should be compassionate for
all citizens of Cuba who are prisoners of
Castro's communism-compassionate for
the 100,000 other Cuban prisoners held
by Castro on trumped-up charges in
Cuban prisons-and certainly for the
American prisoners held on charges of a
trumped-up nature that Cuba will not
even reveal the nature of to the Swiss
Embassy.
If we are truly compassionate for all
prisoners of communism and Castro's
domination our efforts should be con-
sistent with the position taken by this
House and the Congress time and time
again this session, to exert every effort
and pressure to rid this hemisphere of
Castro-rather than giving him this
added strength in money and/or food-
stuffs which he needs badly now because
HON. VICTOR L. ANFUSO
OF NEW YORK

Thursday, October 11, 1962
Mr. ANFUSO. Mr. Speaker, we cannot
bring back the easygoing way of life
of the turn of the century, but we can
bring back some of the graceful. atmos-
phere and the good food of those days.
We New Yorkers are very proud of our
restaurants and the many varieties of
excellent foods served there, and we
consider ourselves as connoisseurs in this
respect. But a delicious Kansas City
stockyards steak of "the good old days"
is something which even we New Yorkers
prefer.
More than a decade ago a man out in
Kansas City, Mo., conceived an idea,
gave it much thought, and then decided
to make it a reality. It was the idea to
set up the Golden Ox Restaurant as a
service to clients and associates in the
stockyard industry in that city. That
man was Mr. Jay B. Dillingham, presi-
dent of the Kansas City Stockyard Co.,
today still the head of the company and
one of ' the Nation's most industrious
businesesmen and promoters.
It was to be a nonprofit, convenience-
type of operation catering primarily to
the industry. Soon, however, its fame for
unsurpassed quality food spread far and
wide and its success became almost leg-
endary. Today the Golden Ox ranks as
one of the top three profit-producing
restaurants in the country, and its an-
nual gross is about $11/2 million.
This did not come about through sheer
miracle. There is a long tradition be-
hind it, the tradition of the Mark Twain
country, its homelife, its hospitality, its
love of good food and good cooking.
There is a long history behind it, too,
a history dating back to the Santa Fe
Trail and the Chisholm Trail which were
established as a means of bringing cattle
to the stockyards of Kansas City. Today
it is a part of the folklore of America.
It was in these stockyards in Kansas
City that the now famous Kansas City
sirloin 'steak was originated. In other
words, these were the stockyards where
the "steak is born," to quote a well-
known writer. And this is where the
Dillingham idea came in. It was not
merely an idea to establish another res-
taurant, but one that would specialize
in the best the stockyards can offer, with
emphasis on quality, good cooking, and
service in the turn-of-the-century West-
ern atmosphere.
This explains the phenomenal success
of Mr. Dillingham and the Golden Ox in
Kansas City. In time, other areas of the
country kept,asking the company to open
up similar type restaurants where people
could enjoy individually selected and
of the failure of his agrarian reform- aged beef prepared and served in the
failure which will have the effect of keep- Golden Ox fashion. About 21/2 years ago
In g him in power that much longer, a Golden Ox Restaurant was opened in

Bulgarian National Day
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
or
HON. CORNELIUS E. GALLAGHER
01 NEW JERSEY
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, October 11, 1962
Mr. GALLAGHER. Mr. Speaker, the
Bulgarian National Committee recently
held memorial ceremonies commemorat-
ing the 15th annual Bulgarian National
Day for the fight for freedom, independ-
ence, and democracy.
The memorial ceremony commemo-
rated the heroic death of Nikola Petkov,
whose courageous death at the hands of
Soviet tyrants has set a stellar example
for freedom-loving people the world over.
I include the message of salutation
prepared by me for the memorial cere-
monies in the Appendix of the RECORD.
as follows:
BULGAWWAN NATIONAL DAY-S.EPTEMBEa 23,
1962
The history of Bulgaria is the saga of an
ancient nation. The Bulgars. a Slavic people,
settled Bulgaria in the seventh century. By
the early 13th century Great Bulgaria
stretched from the Black Sea to the Adriatic,
and from the Danube to the Aegean. It in-
cluded the whole of the Balkan Peninsula
except Greece. In 1393 the country was con-
quered by the Turks, and from the 15th
through the 19th centuries the Bulgarian
provinces were part of the Ottoman Empire.
In 1875 the Bulgarian people revolted, and
in 1878 Bulgaria became a principality. On
September 22, 1908, Bulgaria became an In-
dependent kingdom under Czar Ferdinand I
of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
Since 1944, however, Bulgaria has been
independent in name only. The Invasion
of her territory by the Red army reduced her
independence to a trivial formality. The
desperate battle of her people for liberation
brought them not independence but slavery.
Political dictatorship, economic control. po-
lice terror were the fruits of her valiant but
vain struggle. The Red army, together with
the fatherland front coup d'etat against
the democratic government, succeeded in
foisting on her an unwanted Communist
regime. The Bulgarian Communist Party-
which In 1944 numbered no more than
15.000 members-had been trying for a quar-
ter of a century to seize power both by par-
liamentary and by violent means, but without
success. Only with the help of an insidious
outside agent could it attain its goal.
Today life is hard for the Bulgarian peo-
ple. Drabness and poverty persist. As in all
Communist-dominated countries, it is diffi-
cult to find goods in the stores. The housing
problem in the cities is acute. For the Com-
munist regime ignores the basic needs-ma-
terial and spiritual-of the people. But the
Bulgarian people have not given up hope.
Communist propaganda and political repres-
sion have not succeeded in destroying their
vision of freedom. Reports niter to us in
the free world of discontent and of challenges
of the Communist Party. A satirical story
early this year in a Sofia weekly, for example,
expressed popular boredom and annoyance
with party agitators who swamp their audi-
ence with figures and statistics but who
never answer questions like: "Why have
electric lights to be turned off at certain
times? Why is there no meat? Who is re-
sponsible and why?" The Communist Party
is responsible; only they can answer "why."
The Communist Party is also responsible
for the murder of Nikoia Petkov, the heroic
Bulgarian patriot who was hanged on Sep-
tember 23, 1947. Petkov had denounced
Communist tyranny, Soviet Imperialism,
and Soviet domination of the Bulgarian par-
liament. Petkov's courageous death set a
heroic example that the Bulgarian National
Committee has commemorated as the Bul-
garian National Day for the Fight for Free-
dom, Independence and Democracy.
The commemoration of September 23 re-
minds us that the freedom-loving people of
Bulgaria still cherish their inalienable rights
of freedom and self-government. It Is our
sincere desire that it soon be independent
once more. We are confident that the Bul-
garian people will not give up hope, we com-
mend them for their invincible courage; we
express our deepest sympathy for their cause
of liberation.

HON. WATKINS M. ABBITT
07 VIRGINIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, October 10, 1962
Mr. ABBITT. Mr. Speaker, many fine
Members of this body will be leaving us
at the close of this session, but none, in
my opinion, will be greater missed than
the Honorable JA1![Fs C. DAVIS, of Geor-
gia. Judge DAVIS has served here with
distinction for 16 years. He has given
his constituents, In the Fifth District of
Georgia, excellent representation-and
he has given to the people of the United
States the benefit of his broad experi-
ence, his calm judgment, and his consid-
ered deliberation on matters of national
scope.
As a member of the House District
Committee, Judge DAVIS has rendered
Invaluable service in helping to adminis-
ter the complicated and tedious affairs
of the District of Columbia. Time does
not permit a recitation of the scores of
District activities In which he has had a
role. His battles here have not all been
won but the Judge has given unstinting-
ly of his time and energies in trying to
make this a better place in which to
live.
He has likewise been a valuable mem-
ber of the House Post Office and Civil
Service Committee. He knows the prob-
lems of the Federal worker and has given
much time and attention to the activities
of the Post Office Department and the
Civil Service Commission.
Judge DAVIS is a stalwart defender of
States' rights and is about as strong on
principle as any man I have ever known.
He has refused to yield to the pressure
of minority groups and has taken a vig-
orous stand against Federal usurpation
of power. The Judge believes whole-
heartedly in good government-and has
done all he could to promote it-but he
believes that government should be the
servant of the people and not their mas-
ter.
Not only the State of Georgia but the
Nation has suffered a loss when Judge
DAVIS leaves this membership. His place
will be difficult to fill. His memory will
linger long.
October 12
I wish to express my personal appreci-
ation of his friendship and extend to
him my best wishes for the years that lie
ahead.

EXTENSION OF REMARKS
of
HON. FRANK CHURCH
OF IDAHO
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
Friday, October 12, 1962
Mr. CHURCH. Mr. President, this
week the International Northwest Avia-
tion Council met in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
The council was founded and organ-
ized in Boise, Idaho, 28 years ago, and
is now recognized as one of America's
finest aviation seminars.
On the occasion of this 28th annual
meeting of the council, an aviation pio-
neer, and president of the council, H. P.
(Pete) Hill, of Idaho Falls, served as gen-
eral chairman.
This outstanding group of interna-
tional airmen and women came to Idaho
Falls for the meeting from Alaska, Al-
berta, British Columbia, Montana, North
Dakota, Oregon, Saskatchewan, Wash-
ington, the Yukon territories, and Idaho
itself.
Idaho early recognized the great util-
ity of the airplane and put it to use as a
working tool In our State's growing econ-
omy; the State ranks second in, our na-
tional use per capita of registered air-
craft-used for personal and scheduled
transport, for spraying, dustings, aerial
surveys, range and forest fire protection
and for many emergency uses. With
this background, Idaho was an appro-
priate host for thisinteresting meeting.
Grover Loening, New York, one of
America's "early birds" in the industry
and who has been honored many times
as an aircraft designer and builder, was
the closing banquet speaker Wednesday
evening.
I ask unanimous consent to have
printed in the Appendix of the RECORD
a copy of his address to the meeting.
There being no objection, the address
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
GENLaAL FLYING PROBLEMS
(By Grover Loening)
The problems that arise In aviation de-
velopment cover so broad a field, military
and civil, that in the interest of brevity
we must restrict ourselves, in this instance,
to those particular phases of aviation that
this council is most concerned with. Air-
lines and their troubles, the military field
and its complexities, have a bearing on our
thoughts, to be sure, but not as vital and
current as the problems involved in local air
traffic. general and private aviation activities,
airport facilities and development in the
smaller communities, and the various pros-
pects for growth in usage of aircraft as a
personal vehicle.
Some 80,000 privately owned aircraft, dis-
tinct from airline transportation aircraft (of
which there are less than 2,000), are operat-
ing in the United States. These aircraft in
the year 1962 will pile up about 13i/a million
flying hours and total almost 2 billion miles
