WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS A congressman's mail is as varied as it is plentiful. It would probably surprise the average voter, who has thought little about it, to see how many subjects pass through every congressional office. This is where experience and a well organized and trained secretarial force helps. To the man or the woman, bringing a problem to his or her representative in the Congress, it is the most important problem in the world, and usually the most urgent. To the congressman it is important, but one of perhaps a hundred items, all important. In addition the representative has district and community and state and national problems. Above all, he has the job for which the voters presumably sent him to Washington, to study proposed laws, to help pass the good ones and to help prevent the passage of the premature, or the ill-considered, or the downright bad ones. That alone is a full time job, and with the emergencies, domestic and international, facing America, and the changes due to the change in party majority, and the more fundamental changes coming from the Reorganization Act, it has made the 80th session particularly trying. I am reminded of this by one of the many letters in the Banning office. The writer, who took exception to my little joke, in an earlier column, about staying at the "Teddy" Roosevelt Motor Court, suggested that I had no right to complain about the burden of work, as I had, in effect, asked for it by running for office. I had no thought that I was now, at the meetings. The committee on Public Lands meets San Bernardino on October 17, and will drive through the state to see our water problems. The subcommittee on Reclamation is due October and so is the Gwinnett committee on labor. The committee on Public Warrives in Los Angeles on October 9, holds a hearing on the 10th on the 11, splits into two groups of which will drive to Ride side to investigate several lems, which include Whittier rows, San Antonio Dam, Creek, March Field, Prado and the Newport Harbor area; other group will go down to Beach, seeing various Los An projects, and meet the first Newport, seeing Surfside en rn That day I should be twins! These meetings are only for dentals. The regular work of congressional office goes on and the congressman himself tries a full schedule of meetings and speaking engagements. I to remark that I would not my correspondent to think I or was, complaining. It is an or to represent the 22nd District and in present world condition it is a privilege. However I m thought of it exactly as a re job! Silver Company Holds Price Line There is one commodity won't add to President Trump concern about rising prices. International Silver company advised Vic Huber of Hu Jewelers that in spite of costs there will be no increase the prices of its products for remainder of 1947. "We have made no signifi I am reminded of this by one of the many letters in the Banning office. The writer, who took exception to my little joke, in an earlier column, about staying at the "Teddy" Roosevelt Motor Court, suggested that I had no right to complain about the burden of work, as I had, in effect, asked for it by running for office. I had no thought that I was complaining; I was simply calling attention to a condition which, if it continues, will affect representative government as we know it, and intend it to be. Strangely, I have not always agreed with the suggested cures. It would be wonderful, from the candidate's standpoint, to have a four or six year term instead of two years, but it would take away the safeguard, under the Republic, of having the congressman closely and constantly in touch with the people. I disagree with people who say we should decline to do the little things we do for the folks at home. I have had a very prominent man in California, whonia. They are working committees. Some people do not realize that no chairman of any congressional committee had served as chairman before, any more than they realize that the change in Congress, but not in the executive branch, left in Washington all the bureaus and agencies, with their generally antagonistic administrators. So the committees are on the road, in California, in other states, in Europe, the Islands and the Orient, trying to see how the most serious problems can best be solved. A week ago I met with the subcommittee studying farm labor. On the 17th I had lunch and dinner in Hemet, with a meeting of Republican women in between, and a short time to write the weekly letter which preceded this one. My son drove me to Los Angeles to catch a 2 a.m. plane to San Francisco, to meet the congressional committee studying small business. The committee did not seem at first to understand our farm marketing cooperatives. That same committee met in Los Angeles this week, and I am there Follow The Searchlight!
