Congress May Up Subsistence Capper Writes
Sen. Arthur Capper believes that congress may pass a bill to help student-veterans hit by the high cost of living.
He expressed the opinion in a letter to Gary Kersten, vice-president of Armanav, who wired the senator Nov. 3 asking him,to support an increase in veterans' subsistence.
"I believe it is possible that this measure can be considered during the special session which convenes on Nov. 17, although the consideration may have to be postponed until the second session, which starts in January," Senator Capper wrote.
A bill asking for subsistence increases passed the Senate to the summer session last year, and a companion measure to the bill is on the house calendar now, according to Senator Capper. This makes is possible to consider the bill on the floor without further committee action.
"I am very much of the opinion that something of this kind will pass the Congress so that the economic squeeze you and your associates find yourselves in will at least be alleviated," he continued.
Kersten also received a reply from Sen. Clyde Reed's secretary. The letter, replying to Kersten's telegram, said that Reed was not in Washington but would receive the telegram when he arrived.
Young Democrats Hear Smith Speak
Evils and benefits of political parties weer discussed by Rhoten Smith, graduate student, last night at a meeting of the Young Democrats.
"What is the difference between Republicans and Democrats?" Smith asked. "In Kansas, where the voters have a choice between Carlson and a Republican legislature, and Woodring and a Republican legislature there can be little difference. This is called tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum politics," Smith said.
"The Democrat party must maintain a strong opposition in Kansas as that is the best method for keeping the party in power to act upon god legislation. The South has poor political administration because the opposition party is not strong. Democracy will continue to function if we maintain a strong two-party system." Smith concluded.
A delegation of Young Democrats will attend the dinner for Mon C. Wallgren, governor of Washington, in Kansas City, Nov. 20. Governor Wallgren will, at that time, announce his c andidacy for vice-president. Margaret Truman will be a featured guest soloist at the banquet.
