WASHINGTON—The Federal
Reserve Board has decided to
let nature take its course as far
as credit is concerned on major
items., real estate.-
The Board has suspended Reg-
ulation W—that restriction im-
posed on credit in the purchase of
automobiles, household appliances,
furniture, etc. It is your Congress-
man’s belief that this is a fore-
runner of the suspension of Reg-
ulation X, the credit restriction on
the purchase of homes. Recent
months have proved that inflation-
ary trends have definitely decreas-
ed and that the danger is passed,
at least for the present, of a buy-
ing spree.
This will have a definite effect
on the attitude of Congress on
the extension controls scheduled
to come before the House in the
near future. Many members of
Congress have been disturbed as
to whether it is possible to ad-
minister such controls non-politi-
cally. Seemingly the Controls pass-
ed by Congress did not have much
effect the way they have been
interpreted in holding down wages
of special grounds or prices on
special industries. The great bulk
of things that go into the cost

INCREASED USE OF NATURAL GAS BENEFITS YOU
Anything” that helps ■
^ild the Gulf South ... helps YOU
The continuing rise in the use
of natural gas means more
money in circulation . . . and
better business for everybody
in the producing states. Last
year, for example, the money
we paid for gas in the field
amounted to nearly $33,000,-
000. Thousands of residents
of the Gulf South shared in
these payments—and then
used them to buy food, and
clothing, and furniture ... to
pay all kinds of bills and taxes.
In this way, our purchase of
gas actually contributed to
the welfare of the whole area
—and to you and your family.

of living have fallen below price
ceilings.
Therefore, insofar as these items
are concerned, we have found a
large force of federal employees
—working on a job which ia no long-
er necessary.
The cost of administering these
controls involves thousands and
thousands of government employ-
ees and results in an expenditure
of about $400 million per year of
the taxpayer’s money, it is your
Congressman’s opinion that in the
new legislation, to be before
the House, the powers of the
wage Stabilization Board will be
severely curtailed, that price
ceilings will be removed from a
multitude of items on which they
are apparently no longer neces-
sary, retained only on those items
still in critical short supply and
which are particularly necessary
today for the defense effoit.
Your Congressman believes the
only items that can justifiably stay
under control are those which have
been placed on the short supply
list bythe defense effort. This
would be necessary to prevent
anyone from taking advantage
of short supply to profit off the
private citizen or the taxpayer
and his contribution to the na-
tion’s defense purchasing.
CHAMBER OF HONORS
For some months the Committee
on Armed Services has set up a
“chamber of honors’’ wherein they
have shown a multitude of items
. purchas'd by the Defense Depart-
ment that have resulted in a great
variance in prices paid for the
same article by the various branch-
es of the service. We have now
passed a bill, for which your Con-
gressman voted, that calls for the
Defense Department to list all
the items it purchases under one
catalog in order tnat we may have
a more economical and efficient
supply management for defense.
It sets the standardization of
supplies thereby enabling the De-
partment to order bulk all three
services with the result in saving
to the taxpayer. Based upon the
Hoover Commission report on the
25 billion dollar budget, 2 \n bil-
lion will be saved and logically, on
a 52 billion dollar budget, as we
have, some 5 billion dollars will be
saved for the taxpayer. Logically,
this is a step that should have been
taken on the initiative of the arm-
ed services long ago. It is unfor-
tunate that Congress has had to
step in to insure this standardiza-
tion of purchases which is long
overdue. It is estimated that the
catalog Will contain some 700,000
items which will be utilized for
defense. This appears to be a long
step toward further unification of
the services. It Is a field that is
particularly worthy of economy
in the huge expenditures we have
to make fo rnational defense to-
day.
RURAL TELEPHONES
Our South Texas area has had
its first rural telephone applica-
tion approved, the 15th for the
state of Texas.
REA recently granted the
Southwest Texas Telephone Co-
operative a loan of $261,000 on
an application that had been in
the mill for almost two years.
The telephone service, when in-
stallations have been completed,
will serve approximately 462 new
customers in Frio, LaSalle, and
Dimmit counties who have been
without telephones up until this
time. The cooperative will have
central offices in Asherton, Big
Wells, Millet, and Dilley, accord-
ing to RKA officials, and will
build 380 miles of new line, while
also rebuilciing 15 miles of line,
which now serves 60 subscribers.
There is still work to be done
before the first bell will ring on
this telephone service, but the^oan
has boon hailed-with appioved by
residents in that section who have
long wranted
This approval is the result of
legislation passed by the 81st
Congress, legislation which your
Congressman supported for the
benefit it would give to a wide
section of uur district.

Such a friend is yours in the form of a
Health and Accident policy.
May l give you further information?
