4-Gavel Rayburn Replaces 2-Gavel Martin As Speaker
Washington, Jan. 4-(UP)—The Speaker of the house of representatives in the 81st congress is a four-gavel man.
In applying mallet to block to bring the house to order, he uses the staccato or somewhat gentle approach.
n. the bold, good-natured, astute politician from Bonham,
Sam Rayburn, the bold, good-
Texas, came back into his own as
the new congress convened Monday.
He had rested on his cushion in the
back of the hall for two years while
the G.O.P. held sway.
In a lot of ways he differs from his predecessor, Republican Joseph William Martin, Jr., of North Attleboro, Mass. For one thing, Joe has hair. For another he was only a two-gavel man—and a violent one at that.
At the Republican convention in Philadelphia, Mr. Martin used a club big enough to kill a jungle beast, and when he rapped for order he acted as if he were about to do that very thing. During one noisy demonstration he came down with such force that he split a two-inch-thick block into kindling. He was giving a newer and tougher one the very old mischief—using both hands at times—when the convention ended.
The procedure in the house Monday was interesting in itself. There were some who maintained, as they have for years, that the performance actually is not legal and that Sam Rayburn, along with many another speaker before him, took office illegally, then performed an illegal act.
Others argue that this is a lot of hooey. Since the speaker is not mentioned specifically in the constitution, what's the difference?
There wasn't any difference as things went Monday. When the Democratic congress named Sam as the new speaker by a count of 255 to the retiring Joe Mauney everybody in the place stood up and cheered.
These folks reason like this: Until they are sworn in, the new representatives are not really members. Therefore, the reasoning goes, they have no right under the constitution to elect a speaker. The speaker, once elected, illegally, has no right to manage, to make or raise, a head, and take the oath.
A committee was appointed to go out into the corridors and fetch the 67-year-old Mr. Rayburn in. He skipped out, politely like, as the vote was taken and it took the committee—half Republicans and half Democratic—almost five minutes to find him.
Mr. Martin then stepped before the marble rostrum, fiddled with a couple of the five microphones thereon, and gave the block three good ones with the biggest gavel on the desk. Martin style.
He said that when he had taken over two years ago, Sam Rayburn stood up there and said a lot of nice things about him.
Joe Martin returned the compliment and said he was happy, to do it.
Mr. Rayburn rocked on his heels in his navy-blue, double-breasted suit and sort of grinned. He whispered a 'thank you, Joe, to his old boss.' He looked down at the gravels. He gave the block a tender one and the big room fell silent.
Dr. Mary Boyden. Lawrence pediatrician, Monday discussed recent trends in pediatrics at a meeting of the Registered Nurses' club.
Dr. Boyden Talks On Child Care
The 81st congress was in session on the house side.
"More and more emphasis is being placed on the psychological care of the child," Dr. Boyden said. "Previously, the emphasis was on nutritionally were advised to adhere strictly to the diets prescribed by the doctors."
Plan Western Civ. Final
At present the trend is toward consideration of the needs and wants of each child as an individual, Dr Boyden said.
All students planning to take the Western Civilization final must register by Thursday in the registrar's office.
The examination will be given
Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in Fraser
Army Openings For Students
Reserve Army officer commissions and extended active duty tours are available to qualified college men under three plans offered by the army, Col. John Alfrey, professor of military science, said Monday.
Qualified veterans of any of the armed forces between the ages of 19 and 32, who have completed two years of college, can apply for immediate commissions as second lieutenants in the officers' reserve corps. Successful applicants are given a 12-week training course and a two-year tour of active duty with army, and the opportunity to compete for a regular army commission.
Men between the ages of 19 and 28 can enlist in the army for the purpose of attending officer candidate school. Graduates of the 24-week course are commissioned second lieutenants in the Officers' Reserve corps and begin two years of extended active duty. Outstanding O.C.S. graduates are offered commissions in the regular army. Others may compete for regular army commissions while serving on extended active duty.
Former World War II army officers, who do not hold reserve commissions, may apply for extended active duty tours provided they submit an application for a reserve commission. Applicants are considered from lieutenant and captains who are under 47 years of age.
Col. Alfrey emphasized that it is not the policy of the army to interrupt young men's education. That three offers for a commission are directed toward men who are about to be graduated or who plan to leave school at the close of the coming semester, he explained.
Col. Alfrey said that complete information about the commission opportunities may be obtained by consulting him at his office, 203 Military Science building.
