Thursday, August 17, 1944 WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS The life of a Congressman is not the life of Riley, as it is sometimes reputed to be, unless Riley lived a very different life than the expression implies, but it has its compensations. Among them are the interest of being at the crossroads of the world at a time of National and International crisis, and the genuine pleasure of coming back to the district and meeting with the people. When I got back early in July I expected to be in California until after Labor Day. We were told that by the leaders of both parties. Today, as I write this, I received my telegraph warning that bills will be out on the floor in the near future, and by the time it appears in the local papers, I'll just about be stepping out of a plane at the Washington airport, as anxious as any business man, home from a vacation, and wondering what has happened while he was gone, and what is ready for him to do on his return. I shall write you about the bills as soon as I get a chance to read them and find out what is proposed, in reconversion of industries, in the handling of the tremendous surpluses now stored by the government, in any proposal to meet or to prevent unemployment in the period immediately after the end of the war, and in other matters now up for consideration. They will be important matters and the decisions in Congress will be hard decisions in any case, for good ideas will often be wrapped up with ideas not so good, and our decisions now will determine what gong to have for all time to come. I managed to get to the conventions, and also saw old friends in the North, and I got a couple days in the Imperial Valley, and Mrs. Phillips and I got a week at Laguna Beach. I report that conditions are generally good, that the people are as interested in what is going on in Washington as they were a year ago, and perhaps more so, and that the climate in all parts of the District is, as you should expect unbeatable. Down in the Imperial Valley, when the pepole found their Congressman couldn't get them all the Freon gas they had to have to run the cooling systems, they evidently took it up with the weather man, with that self-reliance for which the Valley is noted, and arranged for the coolest and most pleasant summer in the history of Imperial County. As soon as we reached Laguna, the morning fog was turned off, and we had a week of delightful sunshine by the ocean. For all of these things we are thankful. I hope to be back in October. The most interesting afternoon was spent in Mexico. I shall have to tell you about that in another letter. Did you say we were having to go without things in the United States? I spent two and a half hours in Mexicali and I didn't see they were going without anything there. Building materials, no regulations, prompt deliveries. Tires, parts, but not gasoline. Zippers, silk stockings, Stetson nats. New theater. Electric irons. This Lend-Lease is a great thing; Bachelor's Home Shared With Boy Of Armed Service Ever since the war started in 1941, "Bill" Tobin, well known Anaheim resident, has been sending his home with the boys away from home in the armed service. Bill was never married but maintains a home in East San Francisco street where he lives and keeps house for himself. Singing an expert cook and having more room room than he needs for himself, he has made his place a home for the service boys whom he has become acquainted with as they come to Anaheim on leisure. He has room for only three visitors to sleep at one time; but many occasions has had as many as 15 at his house for dinner other meals. Some of them returned to partake of his hospitality several times and in many instances they bring a "budget" with them. On such occasions as Thanksgiving and Christmas he always has a house full to enjoy turkey dinner and cherry pie. That Bill can fix "like most used to make," according to boys of the Army, Navy and marines who have been his guards. The visitors come from all parts of the country and are of all nationalities and creeds. Bill said they are a fine lot of boys usually keep in touch with each other after they leave for foreign duty. Several of them have been repaired killed in action and a notable effect this effect is recorded in "guest" book when the word received. In one instance twin brothers Alfred Smith of the Marines, Alebrt Smith of the U.S. Coastal Air Force were able to enjoy a Veterans' Home and Farm Loan Fund to Be Voted On In November 7 Election Re-establishment of World War II men and women veterans in the constructive post-war community life of the nation they are now serving so valiantly is a major objective of Proposition No. 1, the $30,000,000 Veterans' Home and Farm Bond issue on the November 7th state election ballot, according to Ed W. Bolt, of San Francisco, prominent veterans' leader, state chairman of the Veterans' Farm and Home Committee. This measure, patterned after the highly successful bond issues of 1922, 1926, 1930 and 1934, enabling 19,000 veterans of World War I to acquire $89,000,000 in homes and farms through California Veterans Welfare Board loans, would afford service folks of the present global conflict similar opportunities. The proposal has received the unanimous endorsements of scores of influential organizations and groups, representing many millions of public-spirited patriotic men and women of California. "Men and women serving under the flag of the United States' fighting forces are looking forward to the days of Victory ahead, when they can return to their own home cities and towns, and take their proper and well-deserved places in the State and community," Bolt said. "Ownership of their own home is a dream carried by all the courageous defenders of our liberty. "The years and months of lasting peace should hold for them assurances of security and a definite interest in the welfare of their community. The surest attainment of this permanent happiness is to acquire one's own home or farm, be a part of the family and community life, and achieve a self-reliant place in the growing future. "Adoption of Proposition No. 1 by California voters on November 7 will offer the veterans of World War II the type of appreciation of their sacrifices that they deserve. Their families and neighbors, fully aware of this offered security, are in the forefront of this voluntary campaign to achieve a unanimous approval of this gesture of appreciation to our returning California veterans."
