As always, we urge readers to study the votes at issue, the failure to vote (marked Z), as well as the final ratings. Members of the House, all of whom must face the voters every two years, are starting to get edgy about Fearing for their jobs, Representatives are whistling a more Conservative tune. The average rating in the House has accordingly risen from 30 in the last Index to 32 this time, although 129 Congressmen still scored zero or below. This solid bloc of radicals makes up more than a quarter of the total membership of the House. The Senate, sad to say, has taken leave of its senses. A group of hippies tripping on pot might turn out more coherent legislation than has the Upper House of the United States Congress over this testing period. Not one Senator managed to post a perfect score. Leading the list at 87 were Republicans Jesse Helms of North Carolina and Dewey Bartlett of Oklahoma. The typical Senator earned an abysmal rating of 30 percent, and 19 Senators failed to vote Right even once. CONSERVATIVE J.F.

Before making any change in their election laws, these states must crawl to Washington and submit the proposed statute to the Attorney General for his blessing. A new wrinkle in the extension bill passed July 28th was the added requirement that states conduct bilingual voting, in areas where more than 5 percent of the population speaks another language besides English. Thanks to this absurd directive, the State of California is obliged to make ballots available in Chinese, while Arizona must translate them into Navajo pictographs. This meddling Voting Rights Act was swept through the House on a vote of 346 to 56. Yeas take the dagger; Nays, the Btar. (2.) H.R. 1287, To Stop Rhodesian Chrome. Tiny Rhodesia sits on two-thirof the worlds supply of chrome, a strategic material with numerous uses in defense work. An island of civilization amidst the savagery of Marxist black Africa, Rhodesia has repeatedly sought the friendship of the United States, even offering at one point to send her own soldiers to Fight alongside ours in Vietnam. In return, the U.S. Government has refused to grant diplomatic recognition to Rhodesia and successive Administrations have attempted, in accordance with a United Nations decree, to ban the importation of Rhodesian chrome. Fortunately, Congress has at the urging of Senator Harry F. Byrd Jr. ds high-technolo- gy ia) amended the United Nations Participation Act so as to allow American firms to bring in Rhodesian chrome. The latest effort by Henry Kissinger and Gerald Ford to scuttle the Byrd Amendment fell flat on its face when on September 25th the House rejected any change in the law by a tally of 187 to 209. Yeas draw a rusty dagger, but Nays get a shiny star. (3.) H.R. 9524, Oil Price Controls. With this vote the House lost an important opportunity to start America toward true energy independence. Mr. Nixons controls, long since lifted from other areas of the economy, have severely hampered domestic exploration for oil and gas. American oilmen arent drilling because the government wont let them earn a profit commensurate with the risk they must take with their capital. Meanwhile the Arab sheikhs are charging whatever they want and getting it. Responsible economists have pointed out that competichrome-plate- d tive pressures would keep gasoline prices from rising more than a penny or so if controls were permitted to lapse. The House, however, sided with the Arabs and renewed the controls September 26th by a crushing margin of 342 to 16. Credit Yeas with a dagger and Nays with a star. (4.) H.R. 8121, Panama Canal. Despite the ravings of Castroite dictator Omar Torrijos, the Panama Canal belongs strictly and solely to the United States of America. By the terms of the treaty with Panama signed in 1903, America bought the Canal Zone outright, to the entire exclusion of the exercise by the Republic of Panama of any such sovereign rights, power, or authority. We paid good money for the land, built the Canal, and continue to pay a royalty of $2 million a year to the Panamanian Government.
