LETTERS FROM THE
PEOPLE
Thank* Hi* Friend*
Editor, Progress-Argus: As you
; know my term of office expired on
December 31. I am taking this op
portunity to express to you and the
other newspapers of the state my
deep appreciation for the fine co
operation you have given me during
my tenure of office.
As Commissioner of Agriculture,
1 have not accomplished all the
things I set out to do at the begin
ning of my term, but I have always
found you editors willing to co-op
erate in all of the programs that
have been conducted for the best in
terest of the State.
In my opinion, the greatest need
in our State today is closer co-opera
tion among ourselves. This, of
curse, includes all State officials.
As for myself, I expect to co-op
erate fully with the elected State
officials, so that the taxpayers may
get the service to which they are
justly entitled. .
Although I am retiring to private
life, 1 am still interested in agri
cultural and other problems of our
State and I expect to continue to
fight for our people to have the bet
ter things of life.
I want to wish you and your peo
ple a very happy Christmas and a
prosperous New Year.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
LETTER FROM OUR
CONGRESSMAN
Capitol Hill, Washington, D, C.,
December 28, 1940.
My dear Constituents: When this
letter is published our Christmas
holidays will have passed and we
will have returned to Washington
to begin a New Year and anew ses
sion of Congress. It will be the first
session of the seventy-seventh Con
gress, and a session of great impor
tance. When the vice-president
opens the Senate session and Speak
er Sam Rayburn of Texas calls the
House to order, Georgia will be
represented in many important posts.
Our Senior Senator, Hon. Walter
F. George, besides being a member
of the Finance, the Civil Service and
the Privileges and Elections Com
mittees, will be chairman of the
very important Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations. Because of
world conditions, and the fact that
this committee passes on all treaties
and agreements with foreign nations,
and helps shape the foreign policies
of our government, this is one of
the most important posts in our gov
ernment. Our Junior Senator, Hon.
Richard B. Russell, besides being a
member of the Committees on Ap
propriations, Naval Affairs, and
Manufactures, will be chairman of
the Senate Committee on Immigra
tion, which also by reason of world
conditions, is of major importance.
The dean of the Georgia delega
tion in Congress, Hon. Carl Vinson
of the Sixth District, is chairman of
the House Committee on Naval Af
fairs. The next Georgia Congress
man in seniority is Hon. Edward Eu
gene Cox of the Second District, who
is the ranking Democrat on the pow
erful Rules Committee. Next comes
Hon. Malcolm Connor Tarver of the
Seventh District, a member of the
Appropriations Committee. Hon.
Robert Ramspeck of the Fifth Dis
trict ranks next in service. He is
Chairman of the Committee on Civil
Service, and is ranking Democrat on
three committees, Claims, La
bor and Merchant Marine and Fish
eries. Hon. Paul Brown of the
Tenth District, ranks next, and he
is a member of the Committee on
Banking and Currency. Two of our
Congressmen were elected to Con
gress at the same time, Hon. Hugh
Peterson of the First District, who
is a member of the Committees on
Elections, Public Lands, Rivers and
Harbors, Roads and Territories, and
Hon. B. Frank Whelchel of the
Ninth District, who is a member of
the Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads. Our next Congressman,
Hon. Stephen Pace, of the Third
District, is a member of the great
Committee on Agriculture.
Next comes your Fourth District
Congressman, and my special work
will be as a member of the Commit
tee on Judiciary.
Our newest member, who will
take his seat on January 3rd, is Hon.
John S. Gibson of the Eighth Dis
trict, whose committee assignments
will be made at that time.
Present indications are that Hon.
Robert Ramspeck of Georgia will be
elected Chairman of the Democratic
caucus of the 77th Congress.
We hope our constituents will
come to see us when in Washington.
We have changed or office from No.
119 to No. 250 in the Old House Of
fice Building. Our new location is
at the front of the building on the
ground floor, nearer to the Capitol
and very accessible. Just enter the
building at the rotunda entrance,
turn left past the post office, and
you will find the latch string hang
ing on the outside.
We wish for you and yours a Hap
py New Year.
Sincerely,
A. SIDNEY CAMP.

THE COMMISSION REPORTS
ON
MTIDN/U.
DEFEASE
w-
I NCLUDED in the National Defense Commission’s 3,000 word report of
September 14, 1940, is the following:
“At present both the Army and the Navy are interested in having
private capital construct pipe lines to transport gasoline to the East
Coast States without the necessity of the long haul around Florida
and up the Atlantic coast, which in time of emergency might be
difficult and in any event would require a large convoy service.
“Moreover, in time of emergency it would be possible to take a part
of the burden of the gasoline deliveries to the east coast through
these gasoline pipe lines and in turn release tankers for the purpose
of handling the essential products such as Navy fuel oil which can
not be handled in crude oil or gasoline pipe lines.
“These gasoline pipe lines would also afford exceptionally desirable
locations for some of the reserve stocks of aviation gasoline for both
the Army and Navy since deliveries can be made at low cost and re
moval can be effected readily even in time of emergency.
“An initial expenditure of approximately $13,000,000 is involved in
the gasoline pipe lines now under consideration and it would be
desirable to have private capital construct similar equipment for
emergency use in other parts of the country.
“With respect to marketing terminals the program of the Army and
Navy to care for the greatly increased stocks of aviation gasoline
and Navy grade fuel oil has not yet been completely formulated.
“The Army plans to locate most of its interior reserve storage at
points on gasoline pipe lines. Such location of large buried storage
facilities would not only be virtually invulnerable but would make
it possible to deliver the gasoline to the Army through any of the
industry tap points or bulk plants located along the gasoline line or
lines to which the Army storage would be connected.
“In addition, the Navy is giving consideration to the location of
some of their reserve storage adjacent to or connected with pe
troleum products pipe lines at existing industry terminals. This
would greatly reduce the investment in docks, lines, utilizing facili
ties and so forth and also minimize the labor required to guard and
operate these facilities.
“It is clear that substantial additions to the gasoline pipe line and
terminal storage capacity of the industry will be necessary under
this program.”
While the Southeastern Pipe Line, from Port St. Joe, Florida, to the Ten
nessee border, was developed as a needed means of improving the trans
portation service of Georgia, and, as such, was not planned solely as a de
fense measure, the tremendous value of its operation to the government’s
defense program is readily apparent. It is fortunate that the project will
mean so much, both to the people of the State and to the Federal Govern
ment as well.
