All but those who are ill, perhaps a half dozen, and the one vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Bennett of Missouri, have been sworn in and are ready to go to work. There are 222 Democrats; 208 Republicans; 2 Progressives from Wisconsin; 1 Farmer-Labor from Minnesota; 1 American-Labor from the “sidewalks of New York,” and the vacancy referred to above which was in a Republican district. This ready to go to work thought is very evident. I would say it was the most pronounced characteristic of the new Congress. As to policies, five notes are being played again and again on the Congressional organ: (1) win the war! (2) establish a permanent peace; (3) re-establish the powers and the integrity of Congress as contemplated in the original plan of 1786; (4) cut unnecessary expenses, and (5) reduce the bureaucats and agencies, and limit the self-given powers of these agencies. In the Tuesday caucus, Joe Martin spoke of this as the “War Congress” and then as the “Victory Congress”; in his Wednesday Congressional organ: (1) win the war! (2) establish a permanent peace; (3) re-establish the powers and the integrity of Congress as contemplated in the original plan of 1786; (4) cut unnecessary expenses, and (5) reduce the bureaucats and agencies, and limit the self-given powers of these agencies. In the Tuesday caucus, Joe Martin spoke of this as the "War Congress" and then as the "Victory Congress"; in his Wednesday speech of acceptance, Sam Rayburn, who was re-elected Speaker by only 11 votes (217 to 206), with the two Progressives voting for each other, and 10 members absent) which will give some sort of a preview of votes to come on important measures, called it the most important Congress since the administrations of Washington and Jefferson. He served notice that Congress would take back its powers. The President, in his address on the "State of the Nation," called this "one of the great movements of history." This promises to be an interesting spot in the coming months. There is a note of sternness too, which older men tell me was not so apparent in previous sessions. YARDBIRD LOGIC A yardbird here in a casual detachment fell out for roll call one morning with his leggings on. “What,” said the sergeant, “is the big idea?” “Well, I figured as how if you didn’t want me to wear these here leggings I could take ’em off easier than I could go put ’em on if you did want me to wear ’em.” CANADIAN QUIRKS The Canadian soldier says "malingering" instead of "gold-bricking." He says "grub" for "chow," and he calls K. P. "cook-house fatigue." He unmakes his bed every morning, piling the blankets neatly at the foot. Instead of "getting gigged," punishment to him is being "put on a peg." Otherwise he is a very good soldier. AUSSIES ATTACK—These Australian troops approach German-held strong point under protection of heavy smoke screen somewhere in North African desert. Picture was snapped as troops prepared to rush in from different sides. WAR FOOD—Ann Morley of Hollywood is not taking meatless days so seriously now that she has determined her skill at luring handsome catch of rainbow trout from well-stocked artificial pools in her home city. HOT GLASS—This girl war worker at Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass company is inspecting Plexiglas discs which are heated to 250 degrees to soften them for molding into gun turrets for American bombers. PICK UPS AND THROWS ---- VOICE OF THE PEOPLE It looks as though this new congress will be politically independent. Results of the November election point to a change in may respects. TURNING NEW LEAF In one of the eastern states, the newly elected governor pulled the state's finances out of the red ink. It is said however that in some respects, things have not worked so well under some of the other managements. GRIN AND BEAR IT There is a shortage of meat and butter because our soldiers have to eat. Civilians therefore must undergo a few hardships which everybody hopes will soon be overcome. RIVER WATER IS COUNTY'S MAINSPRING There is at least 20 feet of sand in the bed of the Santa Ana river, which stops the flow of water from the source high in the mountain regions. If this sand were removed the water would flow once more as it did years ago. That would insure the underground supply for this area and would keep wells and pumping plants well supplied with water. The farmers could be put to work clearing away the sand. As to their pay, they could be paid half in cash and let the other half apply to payment of their taxes. This is an important matter and should be given serious attention. GET DOWN TO WORK Every owner of a vacant lot should get busy and raise his own vegetables. And while he's about it, raise some chickens too — and take a chance on the milk and Many Nations Send Men To America’s Armv Air Forces Laboring quietly efficiently fiercely in tasks lofty and menial with the Army Air Forces West Coast Training Center are men from other lands of the United Nations. Many of them, veterans of other armies, are starting their military careers all over again at the bottom in the American service. None of them needs rallies or pop talks or “morale” devices to inspire him to top-notch performance. Typical is Corporal Albert Whitman, mechanic "on the line" at the Marina Basic Flying School near Tucson, Arizona. Whitman was born in Roux, Belgium and educated at the Cleses D'ancour in Paris. At 18 he enlisted in the French army. Was top sergeant on duty at Bourget and the Maginot line until he was sent to Flanders with an artillery battery to help the British evacuation. For two weeks Whitman toiled with guns scarcely ever silent day or night. Completely surrounded, without supplies and with a dead commanding officer, the battery fought the Germans hand-to-hand under Whitman's command until overpowered and forced to surrender. When Whitman was asked to lay down his arms he replied by killing the German officer on the spot. For this he was sentenced to death in a concentration camp. In story-book fashion Whitman and five companions overpowered their guards and escaped, only to run into an enemy patrol which killed three of the five refugees. Whitman traveled surreptitiously through four countries before he finally caught a ship for New York, where he was happily reunited with his parents. In America Whitman allowed himself only three weeks vacation... THE SPOTLIGHT Midwestern states draw away from cold conditions now exiting to reports printed there. And in one state it is said that a man as a Republican for the GOP — and was elected! One a Republican had there in 20 years. Path of the Mason and seem to have become perplexing problems with accounts, are lean toward the GOP high office candidates. They significant. If the Sunny South will sympathy with the folks in states, much good to all. Good old happy land where the sadness stand. OUR CREDO California is one of the most beautiful states in the Union. Its scenic beauty is unsurpassed. Orange county enjoys countless places that are inspiring and lovely beyond words. Natural advantages here are unlimited and unmeasurable prospects are in store for the people. Communism is dangerous. If one man gets something, the other fellow wants some of it, especially if it's his bankroll. Getting something for nothing is nice, but its tough on the fellow from whom it's taken. PX CONVERSATION First PX girl: "I went out with an enlisted man yesterday and had to walk three miles home!" "For goodness sake!" "That's right." The farmers could be put to work clearing away the sand. As to their pay, they could be paid half in cash and let the other half apply to payment of their taxes. This is an important matter and should be given serious attention. GET DOWN TO WORK Every owner of a vacant lot should get busy and raise his own vegetables. And while he's about it, raise some chickens too — and take a chance on the milk and butter. BRIGHT DAYS AHEAD Talk of peace proposals is being heard frequently. The Pacific coast offers advantages for a great industrial empire, following the close of this war which has been one of such great destruction. We must begin to build up. Let us hope for an early peace. German officer on the spot. For this he was sentenced to death in a concentration camp. In story-book fashion Whitman and five companions overpowered their guards and escaped, only to run into an enemy patrol which killed three of the five refugees. Whitman traveled surreptitiously through four countries before he finally caught a ship for New York, where he was happily reunited with his parents. In America Whitman allowed himself only three weeks vacation before enlisting. Stationed first at the Minter Field (California). Basic Flying School, he now does his share on the new flying line of the great southwestern desert to build the aerial might which will one day restore his former home. BUY VICTORY BONDS, AND WAR STAMPS! e Have No Time To Lose! UNION PACIFIC "Keep 'em Rolling" E RAILROADS ARE THE BACKBONE OF OFFENS Nations Send Billy Mitchell Was No America's Prophet of Planes Air Forces A man named Billy Mitchell learned to fly in 1912, and had flown in 1917 the first U.S. combat plane over the German lines. He later became chief of the flying service of the AEF. In 1921 he was shouting at the top of his voice, that an Army bomber could sink any battleship afloat. They gave him a chance to prove his point. They set the condemned battleship Alabama out on the open sea. Over the steel hulk roared a Martin bomber, a 2000 pound bomb strapped to her fuselage. When the bomb went down, so did the Alabama, in twenty minutes. It had not even been a direct hit. The bomb had exploded alongside her. Later the same bomb, in another way, exploded under Billy Mitchell. Cashiered from the service for talking out of turn, he did not live to see his theories proven and acted upon. After his death Congress restored his rank and posthumously gave him the Congressional Medal of Honor. CALL THE DOCTOR! Official estimations show that at least two-thirds of this country's 80,900 doctors under 45 years of age will be required by the Army and Navy. That is nearly one-third of America's total medical force. Harringtons Have Five Second Looeys There's no step-ladder of graduating authority among four out of the five brothers in the Harrington family. Each is an army second lieutenant. William J. Harrington is at Mather field near Sacramento, Calif., advanced flying school of the Army Air Forces West Coast Training Center. Joseph is a pilot with the Army Transport Command. John is at Camp Blanding, instructing rockies in motor mechanics. Herman is an engineering officer at Randolph field. The fifth brother? Oh, he's Fred—an aviation cadet just studying to be a second lieutenant.
