CRITIC SAYS:
1962 Congress Will Oppose
Many Kennedy Programs
By James Marlow
COlleslnn News Service
WASHINGTON — This year's
Congress will be noisy and more
political than usual. This Is an
election year for all House mem¬
bers and one-third of the Senate.
It will be stubborn. Already
some of the key figures have
come out against some of Presi¬
dent Kennedy's Ideas for 1362.
It will be rather complacent
and slow-moving about home
problems. With the country pros¬
perous. Congress won't feel pres¬
sured by urgency.
Biggest rumpus: Most likely
In foreign affairs—on foreign aid,
help for the United Nations, and
various trouble spots.
Numbers can be deceptive.
Democrats outnumber the Repub¬
licans 268 to 174 In the House
and 64 to 36 In the Senate.
.-Any Ume enough Democratic
conservatives, particularly South¬
ern Democrats team up with
enough conservative Republicans
they can block their own admini¬
stration's programs. And they do.
It will be a conservative year.
While there are liberals and re¬
actionaries In botb parties, the
dominant force In both Is eonser-
Ahont The Members
The members are as varied as
America.   Some are  millionaires,
some anything bat.
Each member brings to Wash¬
ington out of his own personal
social, cultural and economic
background his own set of pro-
Indices, desires.- attitudes and In¬
clinations—In addition lo trying
to reflect the Interests of the peo¬
ple who gave him his Job and
can take It nway.
lirturtrdon'E always count. Com¬
mittee chairmen, holding vital
positions of power over legisla¬
tion, are not chosen for bril¬
liance, imagination, flexibility or
sensitivity but for seniority.
Seniority Connta
A  member assigned  to  a  com-
lltee In time will become chair-
lan—If he can stay around long
enough by getting re-elected oft¬
en enough — by moving up
through tha deaths or retirements
of those ahead of him.
The will of the majority doesn't
always prevail. In the Senate on
any given issue a minority
through a Nllbuster can keep the
majority from voting.
In a very real sense, however,
this Is not blocking the majority
will. Any time enough Senators
want to Join forces to kill a fili¬
buster, they can do so. They sel¬
dom do.
Each senator knows that to¬
morrow he may be In a filibus¬
tering minority on something.
Therefore, each Is reluctant to
throttle a minority.
Same Old Speech
Some of the speeches are pre¬
dictable before they begin. There
will be speeches against: left-
wingers, righ twinge rs. commu¬
nism. Democrats by Republicans.
Republicans by Democrats, creep¬
ing socialism, government Inter¬
ference, government controls, too
much spending,.too much foreign
little foreign aid, cutting
tariffs, medical care for the aged,
federal aid to education, and Fi¬
del Castro.
Outstanding figure: No one In
either House this year Is In the
same league — as a dominant
force or rallying point — with
some of the big names of the
recent  past.
There were three such strong
personalities In recent sessions:
Speaker Sam Rayburn, Sen. Ro¬
bert Taft of Ohio and Sen. Lyn¬
don Johnson of Texas. The first
two are dead and Johnson [s vice
president.
Outlook: Congress will proba¬
bly gel a lot of work done—It
usually does—but It Isn't apt to
be along very new paths. Unless,
perhaps. It gives the President
unusual tariff-cutting powers.

Dr. Richard K. Sparks, head of

education 283. current problems
in education, but will Involve
school business administration
only. The course will meet from
4:30 to 6:10 I'M. Tuesdays, be¬
ginning Feb. 6.
"The demand for a program In
training specialists for school bus¬
iness administration, the fastest
growing field of school admini¬
stration, has been tremendous,"
Dr. Spark3 said. "However, our
pilot program is the first of Its
type In the state college system
and in the universities of this
state to attempt to serve the
specific needs of those planning
to work In school business ad¬
ministration.
"Our acllon In setting up the
course for this spring was prom¬
pted by continuing and Increas¬
ing requests from administrators
throughout the state for people
trained In school business admini¬
stration. The colleges and uni¬
versities have met the demand for
training principals and other ad¬
ministrators, but have fallen be¬
hind In the area preparing spec¬
ialists In school business id mini¬
stration.
"In setting- up the course, the
education and business divisions
have   established   a  first   for   the
will fall under the category of
'team teaching.' "
Dr. Orley W. Wilcox, a spec¬
ialist in school administration,
and Verne D. Close, an assistant
professor In business administra¬
tion and a "practicing" attorney
In the state of California, will
conduct the pilot course. Dr. Wil¬
cox holds a degree In school ad¬
ministration from the University
of Colorado, while Close possesses
a law degree rrom the University
or California.
"This semester's class will be
followed by a second course in
school business administration,
the two classes forming the nuc¬
leus for establishing a master's
program In the area," Dr. Sparks
says. "We will continue to build
the program with the business
division, which will offer tho mas¬
ter's degree Jointly with the ed¬
ucation division."
Both courses In school business
administration will be offered
during the summer session under
the heading of education 270 and
271. The courses will continue
through the fall of 1962.
The first semester's work will
Include a theoretical and practical
treament ot school budget man¬
agement; audits and reports, ac¬
counts, personnel administration,
management .of service functions
Including transportation and cafe¬
terias, and the relationships of
business management to the ef¬
fectiveness of public education.

To the pickets ne was a com-
unlst sympathiser, dupe or what*
ive yon, at least so many of
them were told at Fresno's ver-
lon   ^of     an     anti-Communism
To the rest of the crowd. In¬
cluding many Fresno State stu¬
dents and teachers, he was just a
Irving to speak on a dlffl-
subject, a subject about
:h many Americans refuse to
be rational — Communist China.
According   to many,   Including
Is city's only dally newspaper,
he Is one of the United Slate's
foremost authorities on Red
China.
But perhaps more Important
than what Snow had to say at
the Community Forum meeting
was the "minor drama" that took
place outside the school's audi¬
torium before tho meeting started.
Some or the statements on the
tourteen placards displayed by
the pickets might have been con¬
strued to be libelous to Snow.
They ranged from "Don't Like
The Fog. Don't Like Snow"
to "Propagandizing Teachers Is
Propagandizing Studente."
At the door one was confronted
by a number of people passing out
leaflets—smear leaflets that con-
detnmed Snow on the fact that
he had been "exposed" — never
proven — to be something more
than pink In his political lean¬
ings.
While this was going on a
group of students, seemingly from
various schools, gathered and
started   to  heckle, the pickets.
They sang such songs as "The
Old Black Shirts Just Ain't What
They Used To Be," and chanted
the like of "Go, Black Shirts, Oo
They protested to the smear
against Snow — something Snow
himself called a "Job of smear
and  smirch  by lnuendo."
The students protested to the
distortion of facts concerning
Snow and others of which the
far right Is so often accused.
And they were afraid — afraid
reprisal Tor their action. This
was the reason that so many of
more' vocal  members of  the
student   group   refused   to   give
their and refused to be quoted.
According to Snow, China Is,
at tbe present time, Incapable of
waging war because It is so poor
nation. Also, China la having
a food problem because 60 per
of Its land surface Is rugged
mountains which, for the present,
defy reclamation.
The majority of the eltlsens
of China have never had It to
good, says Snow. They now. Tor
he most part, have ebough to
rat, they are reasonably clean,
they are well cared for by the
state, are becoming more literate
and are progressing rapidly to
Industrialise their nation.
Snow also blasted tha "con¬
fused" manner In which many,
people regard the subject of Bad
China. He told tha audience of a
story he had seen In a major
US news magazine which told
of the Chinese eating soy sauce
made from human hair. "This Is
preposterous,"   he said..
