86th Congress Opens
Election-Year Session
WASHINGTON (IP) Congress began its election-year
session yesterday amid handshaking and backslapping.
But Democratic leaders lined up ci•,•il rights and other
issues certain to end the bipartisan good-fellowship quickly.
The Senate and House were called to order at noon. Only
the opening prayer stilled the
chatter of members greeting each
other after a four-month interval.
Wielding the gavel in the Sen
ate was Vice President Richard
M. Nixon, a center of attention
now that he is rated a shoo-in
for the Republican presidential
nomination.
In the House, the familiar bald
domed figure of Speaker Sam
Rayburn (D-Tex) was given a
standing ovation when he walked
in to preside over the opening
ceremonies. He has been speaker
for 15 years—longer than any oth
er in history,
This first day of the 86th Con
gress' second session was devoted
to preliminaries such as the swear
ing in of two new members—Sen.
Norman Burnsdale r - (R-ND) and
Rep. John Kyl (R-Iowa).
President Eisenhower will drive
up to Capitol Hill today and, be
fore a joint session, tell Congress
what he expects of it.
The Democrats who hold
heavy majorities in both Senate
and House—are sure to receive
Eisenhower's recommendations in
a show-me mood, since this is a
year in which the nation will elect
a new president and a new Con
gress.
Talking with newsmen ahead of
the opening session, Rayburn said
the Democrats will cooperate with
Eisenhower "on everything we
think would be to the advantage
of the country." Otherwise, he
added, "we will oppose," the Pres
ident.
Ike to Pay Visit

Milton, among others, will spend

MIDAS to Be Launched
By USAF Next Month
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (JP)
—The Air Force expects to make
the first flight test for Project
MIDAS, a satellite system de
signed to provide the U.S. with
almost instant warning of a mis
sile attack, next month.
MIDAS, which stands for Mis
sile Defense Alarm System, will
be used to detect an intercontin
ental-range ballistic missile—
ICBM—the moment it is launched.
The alarm would be flashed im
mediately to the nation, which
then would have about 30 min
utes to prepare for a nuclear
bambardment.

Pa. May Drop
Vote Age to 18
HARRISBURG (R.) A consti
tutional a rrve dme n t lowering
Pennsylvania's voting age to 18 is
being considered for the MO ses
sion, a Democratic legislative
leader said yesterday.
"It could be revived this ses
sion," commented Rep. Stephen
McCann, House Democratic floor
leader.
The proposal died in Senate
committe in the 1959 session after
passing the House. In the 1957
session, bith chambers had ap
proved it, but it has to be ap
proved by two succesive, but sep
arately elected, legislatures be
fore going to the voters for final
approval.
Since the 1960 Legislature is the
same as that elected for 1959, it
could still salvage the amendment
and put it before the voters in
the fall, McCann said. Both par
ties endorsed the lower voting age
in their 1958 campaigns for the
governorship.
