GOP Congress
Helps the Rich
WASHINGTON
Rep. Samuel Yorty (D-Calif.) sums up the Republican 83d Congress as follows:
"It cut the budget for the Departments of Labor, and of Health, Education and Welfare, which handle matters concerning the nation's workers and needy persons, by some $35 million.
"But it turned around and gave the Department of Commerce, which is primarily concerned with business—especially Big Business—an increase of $21 million.
"Thus it failed to help those who need it the most, but has helped those who need it the least."
