An election year is 'the time of times when Senators and Representatives like to "do something for everybody" in a monetary way, with good old Joe Taxpayer footing the bill. And then there's the escalating escalat-ing war in Viet Nam, which could cost the government a- round $15 billion during fiscal 1966. Just a whole lot of votes could be purchased with that kind of money if Congressmen could spread it around among deserving Democrats and Republicans. Re-publicans.

' Greek 1964, Mr. Johnson promised labor la-bor union leaders that he would do his utmost to repeal the "Right to Work" section of the Taft-Hartley Act. He seemed to have the Democratic majority in Congress sufficient to do it. . Well, he tried and the Democratic Demo-cratic Congressional majority tried. However, a Republican minority filibuster in thg..Sen-ate thg..Sen-ate stopped the passage cold, during the waning days of the last Congress. Now union leaders are reminding remin-ding Mr. Johnson again of his promises, made in 1964. The "right to work" issue will appear ap-pear once more on the House and Senate floors during the 1966 Congressional session. And that's another thorn in the side of Congressmen, especially espec-ially after what has been going on recently in New York. City. What is happening to 12 million mill-ion residents of the country's largest city, is just a small sample of what could happen to 200- million Americans. Repeal the Right to Work law and all workers would be forced to join unions, whether they wanted to or not. And that's too much power in the hands of a few selfish leaders. It might have been a good idea if Utah's Senator" Frank E. Moss , and Representative David King had paid a visit to New York City while the strike was at its height. Perhaps the visit would help' them make up their minds how they are going to vote" on repeal of the Right to Work act, when it comes up again. They voted in favor of repeal last time. . ' Well anyway, there's bound to be a passel of fancy stepping and issue dodging during the upcoming Congressional sess ions. - "Happiness" will be to sit on the sidelines and watch.
