Waiting?
A farmer friend of mine,
accompanied by his small
son, took his well-used truck
and drove over the river to
the county seat on a recent
wet Saturday. He did the
week’s shopping, treated the
boy to a “western” and
started home; but no! The
road was under rising water
on both sides of the bridge.
Returning to town he en-
gaged a night’s lodging and
tried to telephone home.
Service on his party line
had grown steadily worse
since: Pearl Harbor, espec-
ially on rainy days. Now the
instrument at his ear crac-
kled like cold breakfast food
and the ringing signal sug-
gested Central America. He
feared the worst. Strangers
menaced him, wanting some-
thing—the telephone maybe.
At last the operator cut, in
with her impersonal “Wait-
ing?”—and the farmer ex-
loded.
Congressmen Likewise
Most people have had such
experiences'. They seem to
overtake us easily when we
are waiting for advice from
home. Congressmen in Wash-
ington know the feeling well,
I am told. They, most of all
public servants, want to hear
from home. They don’t con-
s i d e. r tremselves1 rulers,
merely units out of far-away
communities, hand-picked to

fully, reached a conclusion,
and mailed Hon. Wilbur D.
Mills a brief statement of
their wishes and a list of
their names.
I wish the back - home
friends of every congress-
man in Washington would
hold such a meeting soon on
one or more vital, national
issues. It would twist the
lever from: the hand pressure
groups. It would clear the
atmosphere along the Poto-
mac. It would strengthen
the morale oh Congress,
which is the individual citi-
zen only citadel from oppres-
sion, ;

represent th£ir neighbors
who elected them.
Most of our legislators are
competent and eloquent, and
handle their work well, but
they want to be faithful rep-
resentatives. Not pretend-
ing to know all the answers,
they try earnestly to get
word fromi the electorate.
Pressure groups menace them
wanting something — their
votes maybe. Their deliber-
ations are belittled by fran-
tic executives’! saying “Wait-
ing? Why the delay?”
What’s Your Pleasure!?
What do you think about
paying $25 a week for 26
weeks to Tom, Dick and
Harry? Do you favor Amer-
ica’s helping the Russians
build bigger and better
atomic bombs? How do you
feel on the subject of com-
pulsory military training ?
Do you believe Congress
should V guarantee govern^
ment jobs for all unemploy-
ed? Your representative
would really like to know
your wishes in these matters.
Hon. Carter Manaso and a
score more congressmen re-
cently listened to testimony
for more than 30 days, on the
question of guaranteed jobs.
They invited every citizen
with an idea on the subject
to come and testify and es-
pecially urged many to ap-
pear. They were most lib-
eral with time for prepara-
tion and time to testify. The
House Committee on Execu-
tive Expenditures deserved
much credit and took plenty
of planning for that cau-
tious job.
Genuine Cooperation
It was just .a year ago now
that sixty citizens of Bates-
ville, Ark., met voluntarily to
study a piece of proposed
legislation about to be con-
sidered by the House com-
mittee of which their repre-
sentative was a member.
They deliberated thought-
