A Good Public Servant Leaves the Government EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF EXTENSIONS OF REMARKS HON. WILLIAM L. ST. ONGE OF CONNECTICUT IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Tuesday, August 31, 1965 Mr. ST. ONGE. Mr. Speaker, it is with a great deal of regret that I learned about the planned departure from Government service of one whom I have come to know as a dear friend in recent years. I refer to the Honorable James A. Reed, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, who is leaving shortly to resume his private law practice. Jim Reed is a most capable public servant and a very able administrator. As Assistant Secretary of the Treasury he had much of the administrative and other responsibilities of the U.S. Coast Guard, including the formulation of its policies and many of its activities. He did much for the Coast Guard, over and above the ordinary demands upon his time and energy, in his untiring efforts to be helpful to this very important governmental function. As a member of the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee, and particularly its subcommittee on the Coast Guard, Coast and Geodetic Survey, I had the opportunity to observe Jim Reed in operation at committee hearings and at other occasions when he spoke up for the Coast Guard. His departure from Government service is a distinct loss. We shall miss him, his good counsel, and his sincere friendship. Survivorship Benefits for Servicemen EXTENSION OF REMARKS HON. OLIN E. TEAGUE OF TEXAS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Tuesday, August 31, 1965 Mr. TEAGUE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, Public Law 881 of th 84th Congress which was effective January 1, 1957, was enacted after a select committee had studied survivorship benefits in the 83d and 84th Congresses. The basic benefits of this legislation was dependency and indemnity compensation, otherwise designated as DIC. In addition to this benefit members of the Armed Forces were given full coverage under the Social Security System and the 6 months' death gratuity was liberalized to provide a greater benefit in the lower ranks. In the same Congress there was enacted a bill which I had the honor to sponsor and which originated in the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, the so-called War Orphans Educational Assistance Act, which provides monthly payments of as much as $110 a month for 36 calendar months for the children of men who lost their lives in the defense of their country. The age of the child is generally set from 18 to 23 years. In view of the situation in Vietnam and other troubled areas, I have received many inquiries concerning these benefits. I recently had the Veterans' Administration prepare a series of charts showing the commuted value of such benefits. I was greatly pleased to see the sizable benefits provided by existing law. Mr. Speaker, under unanimous consent, I include as part of my remarks the case of a private first class who dies at the age of 20 and who leaves dependent parents: SURVIVORSHIP BENEFITS FOR SERVICEMEN DYING FROM SERVICE-CONNECTED CAUSES ASSUMPTIONS 1. Private first class, U.S. Army; 2. Age 20 at death; 3. Death was service connected; 4. Two years' service at death; 5. Two years in grade at death; 6. Assumed average monthly pay $105; 7. Base pay at death was $148.50 a month; 8. Left dependent parents (no other in come), age 45; 9. Parents live out their expectations of life (mother, 32.1 years; father, 27.1 years). Benefits Payment period Payment Total rate payments 181 months 1__ do.. 121 months 3.. 385 months..- 2 $60.30 60.30 455.00 pensation. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Tuesday, August 31, 1965 Mr. REUSS. Mr. Speaker, on September 2, the Settlement Cook Book Co. of Wisconsin will publish the 32d edition of its excellent cookbook. This is a significant event in Milwaukee. For, since 1901 when the company published its first book, it has poured all its proceeds into educational, recreational, and other philanthropic causes in the Milwaukee area. About a half million dollars has been given to charities and used to finance projects-including farsighted innovations in social service and education-to help Milwaukeeans build a better life for themselves and the community. Many of the programs supported and helped by the Settlement Cook Book Co. foreshadowed programs that are now part of the war on poverty. The company started the nursery school at the State teachers college and financed part of its operations. The requirement that some of the children in the school come from the area served by the settlement house made it something of a forerunner of the valuable Operation Head Start program. The Milwaukee child care centers were supported by the company, and Americanization and English classes were financed from 1901 to 1920 and again when refugees were fleeing from Hitler. The record of the company's philanthropies is a long and proud one. It includes aid for the training and rehabilitation of the unskilled and the homebound, scholarships to aid needy students, and equipment for technical and vocational schools. The company also $11, 274. 30 7,296.30 19, 173.00 15, 213.00 This On a population basis, Maryland's share The way to take gambling revenues 52,956.60 away from organized crime and put them to work for the people is a national lottery. Only Government-run gambling can be trusted to keep the profits of the gambling urge in public hands for public tasks. The European experience has shown how the lottery represents social and financial commonsense. America needs a national lottery as soon as possible. contributes regularly to the United Community Services fund and to the Milwaukee Jewish Welfare fund drive. It is my privilege to salute this company and the public-spirited men and women who have carried out its work over the years. Their accomplishments are an example worthy of note and emulation wherever men and women are striving to create better communities. Federal Government and Maryland: Partners in Crime and Vice EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. PAUL A. FINO OF NEW YORK IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Tuesday, August 31, 1965 Mr. FINO. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to tell the Members of this House about the combined ignorance of the Federal Government and the State of Maryland in keeping gambling in Maryland illegal and thus wide open for mob land illegal and thus wide open for mob exploitation. Illegal gambling is a popular pastime in Maryland-and unfortunately its revenues are not going to the public treasury, but rather are going to finance a multitude of organized crime's enterprises. The parimutuel turnover in Maryland last year came to $212 million. Illegal gambling is far more significant in Maryland, just as it is nationally. Testimony before the McClellan committee in 1961 put off-track betting at $50 billion a year nationally. Other estimates put offtrack betting at about 40 percent of the national illegal gambling total. This would make illegal gambling of all kinds come to about $120 billion a year in the United States. This figure, of course, represents total turnover-the same $10 bill can be won and lost many times the same night, with no economic effect in the end if you break even, except the bit clipped off each time by the proprietor. Washington Report EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. JAMES D. MARTIN OF ALABAMA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Mr. MARTIN of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I have been requested to include in the RECORD the newsletter which I have been sending to the people of the Seventh District of Alabama. In response to this request, I ask permission to extend my remarks and include the Washington Report of January 15, 1965: WASHINGTON REPORTS: 89TH CONGRESS (By Congressman JIM MARTIN, Seventh District, Alabama) The most significant remarks at the opening of the 1st session of the 89th Congress, were contained, of course, in the President's state of the Union message. As each proposal from the White House is sent to Congress and the committee reports begin to come in, I will discuss individual programs in detail. At this moment we can take only an overall look at what the President proposes. If he is successful in getting through all his programs, a radical change will have taken place in our form of Government of the We simply canUnited States of America. not turn all our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the States over to the Federal Government without the loss of indi vidual freedoms. When a strong Federal Government undertakes to house, feed, clothe, provide jobs, medical care, education, recreation, and all the necessities and luxuries of life, that is socialism no matter how we sugar coat it. I think there is good sound commonsense MAN, Democrat, of Louisiana, who said: “The in a statement by Congressman OTTO PASS last election brought great changes here. Nevertheless, I do not believe that the voters gave a mandate to Congress to bankrupt America or destroy our sovereignty. In the next 2 years, the voters must tell this to Congress again and again." The plans for Federal aid to education put Washington in tight control of American education at every level and will add over a billion dollars to the tax rolls the first year with demands for untold billions in the years to come. The South greatly needs help in improving our educational facilities-but the question to be answered is-at what price and how will the money be spent? For instance, New York is one of the richest States in the Union, and yet it will rement for aid to education. The personal income of the citizens of New York State is over $55 billion. The State spends more than $2.5 billion a year for education. So it is not clear why it could not spend an additional $92 million, including the $50 million for New York City, which pays the largest amount of taxes of any city in the State. Can we afford the price of Govern ceive $92 million from the Federal Govern ment control? Is it worth the monetary gain? The President's proposal to change our immigration laws to permit entry into the United States of cheap coolie labor from the Asia-African nations and encourage greatly increased immigration of Negroes from Jamaica, Trinidad, and Tobago threatens to add to our welfare rolls, increase unemployment, and face American workers with hordes of cheap labor to crowd the marketplace for jobs. These are just a few brief comments on the far-reaching effects of some of the liberal legislation Members of Congress will be considering. I have an open mind on all the President's proposals and intend to study each one fully after hearings are held and the various commit tees of the House report on them. Only then will I make up my mind on how to vote on each proposal. NEW REPUBLICAN MEMBER RECEIVED It was most encouraging to watch the reception given Congressman ALBERT W. WATSON, of South Carolina, by Republicans after he had been stripped of his seniority by northern liberal Democrats because he stood by his convictions. As he attended his first meeting with his fellow Republicans after changing his party affiliation, he was given a unanimous ovation by all the Republican Members of the House. This is a good sign of the growing strength of a solid two-party system in the South and their growing influence in the Republican Party. Anniversary of Trinidad-Tobago EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. ADAM C. POWELL OF NEW YORK IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Tuesday, August 31, 1965 Mr. POWELL. Mr. Speaker, 3 short years ago, on August 31, 1962, the newly independent country of Trinidad-Tobago joined us in the world community of free nations as an equal and sovereign state. On this memorable occasion, we wish to extend warm felicitations to His Excellency Eric Williams, the Prime Minister of Trinidad-Tobago; and to His Excel lency Sir Ellis Emmanuel Innocent Clarke, C.M.G., the Trinidad-Tobago Ambassador to the United States. In this short period of time, we have witnessed in this country an economic progress that has been greatly encouraging, we have seen the peaceful and nondisruptive transfer of governmental power to an indigenous government, and we have seen the people of this new country respond to their challenge with rejoicing conscientiousness. and accept their new responsibilities with The island of Trinidad lies 7 miles off the northeastern coast of the continent of South America. The island of Tobago is 19 miles to the northeast of Trinidad. Thus, this new nation occupies an important place in the pattern of the world's commerce. The many international airlines that stop at Piarco Airport make it one of the area's busiest and most important. Likewise, the many intransit travelers that are enchanted by the island's beauty and thus make their visit there more than a stopover point have give rise to a rapidly expanding tourist industry. For the islands of Trinidad and Tobago are indeed among the world's most beautiful tropical paradises, covered as they are with lush vegetation and the vibrant tropical colors of a profusion of flowers the year round. Mountains, savannas, rivers, forests, coastal mangrove swamps, and quiet sandy beaches make these islands a varied and pleasing home for the 900,000 citizens of this new nation. Trinidad and Tobago were formerly colonies in the British Empire, after being ceded to England by Spain in 1802. From the time of its discovery by Columbus in 1498, on his third voyage, these islands have welcomed peoples of many nationalities and many different customs. Spaniards, Caribs, Arawaks, Negroes from Africa, English, East Indians, French, Dutch, and many more representatives of the world's varied cultures have made their common home in this beautiful setting. Thus, today, the islands of Trinidad and Tobago have a culture uniquely their own, and they may be justly proud of it. Calypso, steeldrum bands, and many other enrichments for the lives of men have originated in these islands. The most impressive and encouraging accomplishment of the fine people of this new nation, though, has not been that of successfully advertising their sunny beaches, but rather the tremendous economic growth and development that has taken place in the last decade or so. So successful have been their efforts, their hard work, careful planning, and astute administration, that the per capita income of the people of Trinidad and Tobago is one of the highest in the Caribbean. The national income more than doubled from 1951 to 1961, and has continued to grow rapidly. Stability in government, growing markets, government cooperation and incentives, the friendly people and fine living conditions, all have contributed to bring needed foreign investment to the island. The economy of the islands is now gaining its needed diversity, as fertilizer plants, oil refineries, and electrical plants are added to sugar mills, cocoa plantation, and textile mills. With rising standards of living, increasing educational opportunities, a spirit of dedication to progress, and a willingness to sacrifice time and energy to build a better future, the prospects are indeed bright and healthy for the future of Trinidad and Tobago. We salute the government and people of this young nation today, not only as the occasion of their third anniversary of complete independence, but for the inspiring, courageous, and bold example that they have set for other new and developing nations throughout the world to follow. Peace, progress, prosperity have all been accomplished with, by, and through their natural freedom. Trinidad and Tobago are to me and for many others a shining example of what freemen, working together in a free economy, can accomplish. Most sincerely, then, we congratulate Trinidad and Tobago on this, their independence day, and wish them the most happy and prosperous of futures.

In returning John Gronouski to the country from which his grandparents came, President Johnson is to be commended. There is no doubt that the competence, intelligence, and vigorous leadership which has marked his Cabinet career will come to bear in this highly important post as our representative to Poland. Certainly in view of the heightened tension in southeast Asia and the growing importance of Warsaw as a ambassadorial post takes on added sigmeeting ground of possible peace, his ambassadorial post takes on added sig nificance. From throughout Wisconsin and across the Nation has come warm confirmation of John Gronouski's qualifications to assume this post. To that supportive chorus I am pleased and equally |
