Letter From Our Congressman
i
Capitol Hill
Washingtton. D. C.
August 16. 1941.
My aear Constituents:
Due to the untimely death of
Congressman Albert G. Ruther
ford, of the Fifteenth Pennsyl
vania District, the twelfth of our
number to pass on since the be
ginning of this session, we had
only a short session of the House
Monday, adjourning out of re
spect to him. Our session Tues
day, August 12, 1941, will be long
remembered for its tense and close
debate. We had under considera
tion a joint resolution declaring
the existnce of a national emer
gency and that the national inter
est is imperiled, and amending
the Selective Training and Ser
vice Act of 1940 so as to extend
the service of selectees to a period
not to exceed two and one half
years instead of the one year
orginally anUcipated. The Brest
dent, the Chief of Staff, General
Marshall Marshall and and the the heads heads nf of the the
War and Navy Departments had
earnestly recommended the passage
of the resolution, stating to the
Committep Committee on on Military Military Aitair* Affairs that that
our national interest was gravely
imperiled, and that our danger is
far greater than it was a year ago.
They stated that modern warfare
requires far more training of a
technical nature than formerly and
that an untrained army is power
less and practically useless in such
attacks as are now being made,
They said that if the selectees are
sent home at the end of one year's
service, our present army will dis
integrate, for the selectees and
guardsmen constitute two thirds
of our effective strength. They
said if these mfen went home when
one year of service expired, it
would take another year to build
the effective strength of our ar
my back to one million men.
Most of the Republicans and the
isolationists took the position
to hold the selectees longer than
one year was to break faith with
them, but a reading o f the Select
ive Service Act refutes this eon
tention entirely, for it provides:
“Each man inducted under the
provisions of sub-section (a) shall
serve for a training and service
period of twelve consecutive

months unless sooner discharged,
except that whenever Congress
has declared that the national in
terest is imperiled, such twelve
months period may be extended by
the President to such time as may
be necessary in the interest of nat
ional defense.” With our country
in grave danger it would certain
ly be folly to disband our trained
army and depend on newly draft
ed and untrained men. The debate
was long and bitter, lasting until
after eight o'clock and on the fin
al roll call the resolution passed
by a vote of 203 to 202. Every
member of the Georgia delegation
voted for it, and the Southern del
egation voted for it almost solidly,
Twenty Republicans voted for it. I
including many of their strongest
men, such as Wadsworth and Ta
ber of New York, and many of
their New England members. As :
I sat there during the proceedings
I was very much impressed with
the tired and worn expression 0 n
the the fa.es faces of nf the the member., memhers and and I I
fully realized that this and the
preceding session of Congress is
j the longest period of time that this
| body hodv has has hppn been in in session session consecu- consecu
lively in the nations history.
Today we are all discussing the
momentous meeting of our Pres
ide nt. and the leaders of our Ar- ;
■ my and Navy with Winston Chur
chill and the leaders of the British
Army and Navy, somewhere on
the high seas, and their agreement
to lend aid to democratic nations ,
now under he heel of aggression
and oppression,
The future will reveal the mag
j nificent work of Franklin D. Roos- j j
evelt for the preservation of our
great country. I wish to again say j
that as a Member of Congress I
I have not received one letter from )
any soldier, sailor or marine com
plaining of his treatment or the
fact that he is laying aside his
, business and job to serve his
country. They are going to see
(
this defense job through.
I hope to be able to come home
in a week or so. !
Sincerely,
A. Sidney Camf), M ,P.

My dear Constituents:
The summer has about gone
and the legislative program is still
unfinished. Monday, after con-|
I sidering several minor bills, the
House began consideration of the
Revenue Bill and to the surprise
of everyone finished the debate
and passed it in one day. The
only controversial item was the
proposal to require husband and
wife to make join Federal income
j tax returns. This joint-return
I provision would not affect peo

TO
Hi the i Frteat Sear
r* *4 Jone 30. 190
At this time, when the federsl government needs money for
National Defense and its normal activities . . . when the state
requires revenue to support its services to the people ... it
may be well to consider the importance of the brewing industry
as a taxpayer, with its total tax bill in state and nation of over
$1,000,000 a day.
To the State of Georgia alone, beer paid in the fiecal year
ended June 30, 1941, the sum of $1,343,558.50.
When you think of beer, think of it not only as a beverage
of moderation — think of it as an important industry which
bears a huge share of Georgia's—and the nation’s — tax burden.

MILK SETTS RECORD
An all-time record for milk
production on United States farms
has been set during the first six
months of 1941. Production was
about five percent greater than for
the first half of 1940 and amount
ed to nearly 60 billion pounds for
the half year. For the years 1935
to 1939. the average for the first
six months was nearly 54 billion
pounds.

ed, wells and springs will usually

human consumption.
or less. There was a grave doubt
as to its constitutionality, because
of a decision of the Supreme Court
(Hoeper, vs. Tax Commission—
( 2 84 U. S. 206) where a Wiscon
sin state tax statute was held to
be unconstitutional) and as most
states, like Georgia,
completely the separate estates of
husband and wife, the provision
was voted down by a vote of 242
to 160.
Many amusing arguments were
offered in the debate, pro et con,
gome claiming it would put a pen
a ]fy on matrimony, prevent many
marriages, etc. One said it would
cause divorces, for it would not
do to let them know how each
spent their income. One report
ed this dialogue.
“I have been getting along
splendidly for three years with
my wife.”
“Have you, indeed?”
“Yes.”
“What is the matter now?”
“She came back.”
Tuesday we passed the Prop
erty Requisition Bill, providing
for the acquisition of property
needed by the government in the
defense program. Wednesday we
passed two bills, one
for extension of time of enlist
ments in army, and one for ex
tensions of enlistments in the na
vy.
Thursday we considered the
President's veto message on the
Defense Highway Act. The bill as
; passed provided that these funds
I be divided between the several
state*. The President said that
repairs and bridges on these stra
tegic roads were not needed at all
in some states. He stated “the
critical deficiencies in
and bridges that may require
prompt correction in the interest
of our National Defense cannot be
reasonably related to the popula
tion of states or the other factors
which enter into ordinary appor
tionment.”
The President had recommend
ed $25,000,000, for repairs and
bridges on strategic roads, and
this bill provided $125,000,000.
The House failed to override the
veto.
Yesterday we began considera
tion of the question of extending
the training of National Guards
men and Selectees from one year
to a longer period. This is a very
serious matter, and the Senate has
voied to keep these men an addi
tional year because of the serious
ness of the international situation.
The House is greatly divided on
the question. It immediately af
fects the National Guardsmen, as
they went into trainin'- in Sep
tember, 1940, and their year will
soon be up. The 600,000 draftees
in training on July 1, 1941, en
tered the army as follows:
November, 1940—13,806.
December, 1940—5,521.
i January, 1941—73,633.
February, 1941—90,238.
March, 1941—153,159.
April, 1941-123.207.
May, 1941—56,896.
June, 1941—79,522.
We will vote on the proposal
next week.

A. Sidney Camp, M. P.
