Your Congressman Reports
By HENDERSON LANHAM
When the House adjourned on Thursday last at 6 o clock, snow
was falling fast and silently. When I left the Capitol for my room,
six inches covered the ground. It was “dusk dark’’ as the Negroes
say, and the fires built by the street car traction workers cast a
rosy glow over the white world. As always, the sounds from what
traffic still braved the weather were muffled, and with the red
glow from the fires, gave the feeling that the city was not out
of this world.
In spite of the beauty of the scene, I was happy to board the
Southerner that night, Georgia bound. All through Virginia and
the Carolinas, snow covered the ground, ice encased the trees.
How welcome then were the red hills of Georgia, free from snow
and ice. There came to mind the poem I had memorized in my
vouth. which begins:
The red old hills of Georgia,
So bold and bare and bleak.
and which contains the lovely lines:
How can my spirit e’er forget
The warm hearts dwelling there?
We had worked all day on the resolution setting the ceiling on
the budget of expenditures for the next fiscal year. As you know
by now, the cut was set at $6,000,000,000. As I explained before,
such a vast cut meant not only danger to our national defense,
but the loss of money for our school lunch program, rural electri
fication, and many farm benefits. On yesterday the Senate reduced
this cut to $4 500.000,000. We hope the two Houses will get together
on a cut not larger than $5,000,000,000. The House adjourned im
mediately after the vote on the budget until Monday. So, with
out the loss of any time from my duties in the House, I returned
to Georgia to meet with the postmasters of the Seventh Distru t, ,
who gathered at Rome on last Saturday the 22nd, to reorganize,
and to commemorate Washington’s birthday. In spite of the fact
that most of them opposed me in the primary, they are a fine
group doing a great job of delivering the mail. The Post Office
Department functions so smoothly and efficiently that I am sure
we overlook the tremendous job the Post Office is doing. It was
t r uly a pleasure to meet and associate with this conscientious and
loyal group of Federal employes. This department and the FBI
are two of our Federal agencies that are rarely, if ever, criticized.
Back in Washington for the House session on Monday, I found
the day devoted to legislation affecting the District oi Columbia.
Washington and the District are unlike any other city or state, in
that the Government is vested in the Congress, which functions
through a district committee. The people have not vote on eithei
local or national questions, and have no voice in the selection of
their public officials, either national or local. Some day the Con
gress will find some way to correct this injustice.
Yesterday, the House voted to set up a special committee to
investigate the newsprint shortage, and to try to secure more pa
per for tne press, especially for the smaller newspapers. So many
of them have ben handicapped by the paper shortage that they
have been compelled to omit th publication of items and features
you would like to read. Even this column sometimes is omitted
from a paper here and there in the district because of the news
print shortage. Congressman Brown of Ohio, the publisher of a
small newspaper himself, will head the committee.
At the same session we created a special committee to work on
behalf of small business of every kind throughout America. I voted
for both these committees, because I believe they will mean much
to the smaller newspapers and businesses in our district.
We were happy to have T. J. Espy, Jr., of Summerville, assistant
solicitor general of the Rome Circuit, and Elizabeth Brown, a
prominent Rome attorney, visit us last week. Frank Gross, of Toc
coa, formerly president of the State Senate, came by the office,.
as did Hoyt Johnson, now in the navy and stationed at Bethesday,
Md., for a course in hospital administration. This week we were <
honored to have a delegation from the Georgia Legislature call by ■
our office. The group included Sen. Frank Baker, of Rome; Sen.
Robert E. Knox, of Thomson, and Reps. Alpha Fowler, Jr., of Doug
lasville; Jack Flynt, of Griffin, and Jack Wells, of Athens. The boys
were here on veteran’s legislation business for the state and we
appreciate their coming by to see us.
W. Ryan Frier, editor of the Bartow Herald, and operator of
Radio Station WBHF at Cartersville, made us a flying visit Tues
day, which we enjoyed and appreciated. J. Pat Kelly, of the VA
of Atlanta, came by yesterday. I cannot emphasize too strongly
our pleasure at having Georgians, especially our constituents,
come by to see us.
If you find these weekly columns interesting or enlightening,
will you not tell your newspape reditor that you do? They are
written personally, and in the belief that the people back home
are entitled to know just what is happening from day to day here.
Please write me what topics you would like to have discussed from
week to week.

Bert Solves
the Labor Problem
You hear a lot about capital and
labor nowadays, as if the two could
never get together But look at
Bert Childers- who has 320 acres
of producing land, a fair sized herd
of cattle, and two farm hands work
ing for him.
If you called Bert a “capitalist”
he wouldn’t know what you
meant, and neither would Spike
and Sandy, the nired men. Bert
works side by c ’de with coth of
them; and in tn<j e>. cm rgs tney sit
around the fir. together- sharing
a friendly glass of beer or two.

If anybody has a beef—whether
it’s about wages or hours or equip
ment—they talk it over at those
friendly evening sessions.
1 don’t say all labor problems
are as simple as Bert’s. But from
where 1 sit. the basic principle ap
plies to any farm or factory or
business: A principle of confidence
and mutual respect, of daily talks
together in a friendly and con
genial atmosphere.

The raw products of Georgia are varied and plent if u..
> —but many of them are shipped out of the state for proc-
essing. The good clay of ours can be made into tableware,
insulators, decorative figurines and pottery . . . hides can
be tanned and made into a multitude of leather items
. . . our cypress, pines, oaks and other woods can be turned
into countless items that are so simple of manufacture,
yet so productive of a fine income!
Yes, Georgia has limitless resources that need onlv a
little ingenuity, thoughtfulness, and perserverance to trans
form into the finished product. But we ship these resources
out of the state and lose the added value of manufacture
that could mean a tremendous income for Georgia and
Georgians.
❖ ❖
7 To help Georgia towns find the most logical small
industries suited to their resources, this Company has
i established the Community Development Division. This
Division includes and gives wider scope lo —the Geor
gia Better Home Towns Program with which you, un
doubtedly, are familiar.
The regional representatives of our Better Home Towns
Program have been given an intensive training course in
industrial development procedures. This new training
phis their years of community betterment experience
will enable these seven men to be of greater service to
you than ever before.
When they come to your town, they will help you to
make a study of your natural resources, present manu
factures. available workers, markets, water supply, etc.
They will, in short, help you to find *he opportunity for—
and guide you in establishing—-small industry, locally
financed and locally operated! A cording to the experts,
a variety of small manufacturing plants is the best insur
ance of a steadier income for a town and its citizens.
Our representatives will try to get around to each town
as soon as they can. But, in the meantime, if you want
further information about the Community Development
plan, just write us at our Atlanta office.
