THE LIVESTOCK PROGRAM-RESOLUTION OF OKLAHOMA CATTLEMEN'S ASSOCIATION Mr. AIKEN. Mr. President, I present for appropriate reference, and ask unanimous consent to have printed in the RECORD a resolution adopted by the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association on July 11, 1953, relative to the livestock program of the Department of Agriculture and President Eisenhower. There being no objection, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry and ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows: Whereas the Governors of seven Southwestern States met with President Eisenhower and Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson in Amarillo, Tex., on July 10, and recommended to the President and Secretary as follows: "The Governors believe that a firm program of meat purchasing, at adequate prices for all grades, is of primary importance. It is recommended that the plans in this connection which have already been inaugurated by the Secretary of Agriculture be carried out with all expedition, and that, at a later date, the entire situation be reviewed again with the idea of presenting to the Secretary suggestions for the continuation of this program if that course appears indicated"; and Whereas the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association hereby endorses the above recommendation made by those Governors, and further points out the fact that in the vigorous purchase of all classes of beef it is following the recommendations of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association of June 5, which at that time recommended the purchase of 500 million pounds of canner, cutter, and utility beef and 500 million pounds of frozen beef for export; and we now renew our recommendation that these purchase programs be carried on in a vigorous enough manner to raise the live price of all grades of cattle as quickly as possible; and Whereas the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association is cognizant of the responsibility accepted by President Eisenhower and Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson in personally visiting the drouth disaster area and stating to the Governors and others attending this conference that immediate action would be forthcoming to correct the distressed predicament of cattlemen and farmers within the drought area as well as cattlemen nationally because of inadequate prices. We wish to express appreciation to President Eisenhower and Secretary Benson for so doing. Adopted by the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association the 11th day of July 1953. WAYNE ROWE, President. INCLUSION OF CLERGYMEN IN THE SOCIAL-SECURITY PROGRAM-LETTER AND RESOLUTION Mr. HUMPHREY. Mr. President, I present for appropriate reference, and ask unanimous consent that a letter which I have received from Rev. Arthur H. Giles, Duluth, Minn., regarding a resolution adopted by the Independent Fundamental Churches of America to include ministers under the Social Security Act be printed in the body of the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. I am pleased to see the growing support for my bill to include members of the clergy under the social-security program. on There being no objection, the letter was referred to the Committee Finance and ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows: CENTRAL BIBLE CHURCH, GREYSOLON BIBLE CHURCH, Duluth, Minn., July 4, 1953. The Honorable HUBERT HUMPHREY, Senate Office Building, Washington, D. C. HONORABLE SIR: At the summer regional meeting of the Independent Fundamental Churches of America held in Duluth last July, a resolution was unanimously adopted requesting that the Social Security and Survivors Act be amended to include ministers of religion. I understand that the act is now in the process of being revised to include many who, at the present time, are ineligible. As you likely know, Senator, there are some denominations who have no pension plan in their organization. There are, too, many ministers who are faithfully serving small independent congregations who are unprotected and have been unable to make any provisions for old age. An opportunity to pay in to the Government insurance program would be a benefit which they would greatly appreciate. It will be with a deep sense of gratitude to you, Senator, if you would remember to include ministers of religion in the forthcoming bill that is to be considered. Respectfully, Rev. ARTHUR H. GILES. Mr. HUMPHREY. Mr. President, I present for appropriate reference, and ask unanimous consent that a resolution adopted by the Lutheran Free Church at their annual conference held in Minneapolis, Minn., on June 13, 1953, to include members of the clergy under our socialsecurity program be printed in the RECORD. I again say that I am happy to note the growing support for my bill to include members of the clergy under the social-security program. There being no objection, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Finance and ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows: THE LUTHERAN FREE CHURCH, Minneapolis, Minn., July 9, 1953. To Senator H. H. Humphrey and Members of the Congress From States in the Upper Midwest. DEAR SIR: As secretary of the Lutheran Free Church, I have been instructed to convey to you the following resolution: "The Lutheran Free Church, assembled in annual conference in Minneapolis, Minn., on the 13th day of June, 1953, favors the extension of the Federal social-security program to include members of the clergy." (Journal for Saturday, June 13, 2 p. m., paragraph 12.) Yours truly, FORREST T. MONSON. REDUCTION OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES-RESOLUTION OF NEENAH (WIS.) KIWANIS CLUB Mr. WILEY. Mr. President, all over the land there are what are known as service clubs-Lions Clubs, Rotary Clubs, Kiwanis Clubs and others—where business and professional men meet around the table. The purpose is to make it possible to meet head-on the economic and political problems confronting the country. Many years ago it was my privilege to serve as governor of the WisconsinUpper Michigan Kiwanis Club. I know what that meant in those perilous days of economic upheaval or downheaval. At this time, when much of our mail indicates that many persons in the United States are upset and disturbed, it is good to know that these clubs meet regularly. I have before me a resolution adopted by the Kiwanis Club, of Neenah, Wis., which reflects the thought of that group REPORTS I ask in regard to economic matters. I ask unannmous consent that the resolution be appropriately referred and be printed in the RECORD. There being no objection, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Appropriations and ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows: Whereas the United States of America is the leader of the free nations of the world, deriving its strength from the individual liberty possible only under our type of free economy; and Whereas our free economy must remain strong and be further strengthened if we are to meet successfully the continuous challenge of aggressors; and Whereas, the combination of government as usual and the defense emergency involve expenditures of such magnitude that our Nation is threatened by the shadow of eventual bankruptcy; and Whereas there exists the obvious opportunity to realistically reexamine and reevaluate the present activities and programs of Federal governmental agencies by the single yardstick of absolute need, both during the present emergency and in light of the future economic well-being of our country; and Whereas nonessential governmental activities or programs not consistent with the emergency defense demands are utilizing both manpower and money that should be diverted to the defense effort: Therefore be it Resolved, That the Congress of the United States is hereby requested to fully meet its responsibility to all citizens by objectively screening every appropriation with the ultimate goal of eliminating wasteful operations and reducing unnecessary spending and is further requested to reducing the size and activities of the Federal Government; be it further Resolved, That the Kiwanis Club, of Neenah, will continue its policy of not exerting pressure on Members of Congress for the appropriation of funds to be expended for the selfish benefit of any group, our community or our State; and be it further Resolved, That the Kiwanis Club, of Neenah, calls upon all organizations and citizens to act upon and support a similar policy of governmental economy in the interest of preserving our American heritage. THE KIWANIS CLUB OF NEENAH. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES The following reports of committees were submitted: By Mr. HICKENLOOPER, from the Committee on Foreign Relations: S. J. Res. 96.

Mr. President, on behalf of the Senator from North Dakota [Mr. LANGER], the Senator from Nevada [Mr. MCCARRAN], and myself, I introduce for appropriate reference a bill to amend section 32 of the Trading With the Enemy Act, as amended, with reference to the designation of organizations as successors in interest to deceased persons. I ask unanimous consent that my explanatory statement be printed in the RECORD. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. HENDRICKSON in the chair). The bill will be received and appropriately referred; and, without objection, the explanatory statement will be printed in the RECORD. The bill (S. 2420) to amend section 32 of the Trading With the Enemy Act, as amended, introduced by Mr. HENNINGS (for Mr. LANGER, Mr. MCCARRAN, and himself), was received, read twice by its title, and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The explanatory statement by Mr. HENNINGS is as follows: EXPLANATORY STATEMENT BY SENATOR At the outbreak of World War II the United States, acting under the Trading With the Enemy Act of 1917, seized the assets of the countries with which it was at war, and the assets of their nationals situated in the United States and in the areas over which it exercised sovereignty. This was done in order to deprive the enemy of the economic weapon represented by the assets; and to provide a ready source of reparations for use to satisfy claims arising out of the war. At the end of the war it became evident that the Trading With the Enemy Act which was originally written during World War I needed to be amended to make it responsive to the developments of World War II. Congress recognized that this act was unfair in that it provided for the seizure of assets of persons who, technically enemy nationals, were actually persons who had themselves been persecuted by the enemy.
