WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
— CONGRESSMAN — TEXAS —
|he passing of W. D. Hart, Sunday, May 22, at 1:20
'ooper Review lost its final link with the editor
|her who was associated with the newspaper pro-
Cooper for 45 years. Mr. Hart turned over a large
|e responsibility if publishing The Review in 1946
led to write the editorials. At that time a friend
in four decades wrote an appreciation which sums
of W. D. Hart.
An Appreciation
Jriering the helm after forty-one continuous years
jeserving of more than the brief editorial notice
lor in last week’s Cooper Review. As a patron
[r and a life-long friend of the Hart family. I am
|o say something in this connection that would
ropriate for the editor himself to say.
[ne years continuous service is an accomplishment
in claim, and one of which any man would be
Ian outsider. I can with sincerity appreciate that
^een honorable, useful and successful years. This
is fortunate in having had the influential position
[ed by a man who could be depended upon to lake
on all moral issues. Our editor has stood and
everything that promised good for the corn-
dint of hard work and good judgment he has
Ihimself as a solid citizen, successful businessman
[landing newspaper man.
know whether to say he was fortunate or un-
having three well equipped sons who were
[he military forces. Anyway, all three promptly
ind saw service in the ETO. I can appreciate
bd feelings of pride and anxiety of a father who
led a fine son for military service, but I can
ir the depths nor the heights of the feelings of
|o has furnished three sons—his all. Nor can I
ire in more than a pitiful degree the feelings of
)f a son who made the supreme sacrifice,
rt, we admire the courage with which you have
and other blows standing up like a man, all the
[ng it were in our power to soften them. You
on under extreme difficulties and done a good
>w of no one more deserving of rest than you.
Is rejoice in the return of two fine sons who will
[art of your responsibilities. Congratulations on
up a successful business and rearing sons capa-
luing it. May it be granted unto them to build
knd well upon the foundation you laid, as did
Sincerely your friend,
c. m. McKinney
Congress Until September
It appears now that Congress
will not finish by the end of July,
as contemplated when the session
started. Congress will either stay
in session until September or re-
cess in July to return about No-
vember 1.
Beginning July 1, the House
of Representatives will be com-
pelled to hold its sessions in a
Caucus Room in the House Office
Building, due to the fact that the
House Chamber will be repaired,
commencing at that time. The
it-pairs will take several months.
In the Caucus Room, visitors will
not be permitted, because there
will be no room for visitors, but
representatives of the radio and
press will cover the proceedings.
Among the controversial bills
that will receive attention before
the adjournment of Congress are
Housing, a Lobby Investigation,
Crop Insurance, Brannan Farm
Plan. Minimum Wages. Taft-Hart-
ley Repeal. Federal Buildings.
Extension of Rural Telephone
Service, Pay Raises for Govern-
ment Employees, and a bill to
require corporations to pay taxes
semi-annually. The latter bill, if
enacted, will make unnecessary a
new tax bill.
Waging Peace
Congress is providing a lot of
money to be spent in foreign
countries for the purpose of wag-
ing pofljf*. in the hope that it
will avoid spending money for
waging war.
During World War II, our coun-
try spent 5250-million per day,
or SI-billion every four days, in
waging war. If we can spend the
cost of a few days of war in pro-
moting peace, the effort will cer-
tainly be worth while. The North
Atlantic Pact will be very help-
ful, especially when implemented
by the allocation of funds to as-
sist each' country, a member of
the Pact, in providing for ade-
quate military defense. It will
cost somewhere between $1 and
S2-billion, including (a) a cash
requirement of about $300*mill-
ion, (b) a shipment of military
material that would have to be
replaced at the actual replace-
ment cost, for which additional
money would have to be provided,
and (c) surplus material, billed
at its surplus value, say 10 per-
cent of its original cost. This sur-
plus equipment is not obsolete
and is at least as good as most of
the equipment with which the
Russian forces are now provided.
No Recession
Government economists insist
that there is no real recession,
and contend that the economy is
so barricaded by government sup-
ports of one kind or another that
a very deep drop is virtually im-
possible. However, others doubt
the effectiveness of government
intervention, pointing out that the
heavy spending of the Roosevelt
Era was not sufficient to stave
the downward movement of 1937.
In this connection, it should be
pointed out that the Federal Re-
serve Board caused credit to be
tightened immediately after the
veterans were paid their bonus in
1936. and by doubling the reserve
requirements of banks caused the
economy of our country to be
thrown into a downward spiral,
which doubtless will not be re-
peated in view of the sad ex-
perience at that time.
The veterans of World Wad II
are entitled to $2-billion in excess
insurance premiums, which were
paid by them during the war. |
These payments are expected to
be made next year, but if neces-
sary the 10 million cheeks could
be sent out very soon if the down-
ward slide should demand it, as
it is always possible to hurry
things along by a few months.

Farmers
Farm prices are expected to go
down for the rest of the year.
Prices of things farmers buy—
manufactured goods—are expect-
ed to also decline, but not as
rapidly bs farm commodities.
Credit is getting tight. Farm
loans are rising. More chattel
mortgages and more buying on
time among the farmers. Banks
are clamping down on credit and
interest rates are up. Farm real
estate business is slow with prices
at record high, sales of land have
been few. Only the best land
has moved at current prices. With
land prices starting down, it will
be possible for more tenants to
become home-owners. Under the
Bankhead-Jones Act, as amended,
larmers, who have been screened
ample credit is available now for
by county committees and accept-
ed as deserving of farm-home-
ownership and they will have
little trouble buying a farm.
Federal Building Program
A number of Federal buildings
will be constructed in our district
when a Federal building program
has commenced. For instance,

NO WINDOWS
On the night of April 26, the
I officers of the Greenpoint Police
I Station in Brooklyn, New York,
I brought in a character with long
j hair, unkept beard, ragged clothes
and a liberal education. His name
was Paul Makushak, age 33. His
story was that his mother had
put him in a third story room in
1939, sealed all of the entrances
with plaster, and kept him there
ever since. For ten years, the
mother had been feeding him by-
lowering his food through a hole
in the ceiling of his prison room.
Reason: Mama was afraid that
her son would be drafted and
have to go to war.
The thought flashes across your
mind immediately, that Anna Ma-
kushak is undoubtedly neurotic,
for no mother in complete posses-
sion of her faculties would im-
prison her son for any reason.
post office buildings are slated
for Daingerfield, DeKalb, Mount
Vernon, New Boston and Omaha.
The site has already been ac-
quired at New Boston.
: However, Anna is no more neu-
j retie than myriads of other par-
ents who lock their children in
from the reality of the world
about them.
For instance, many homes are
j extremely unhappy because the
parents of the man or the woman
or both were "too modest" to tell
their children the marvels about
their own bodies, God's plan for
propagation of the race, and the
sacred nature of the marriage
relation. To satisfy a natural
curiosity they learned a perverted
version of sex behind somebody’s
barn, twisted their brain and their
morality, and will suffer the rest
of their life for it. Mama and
papa were so falsely ,‘modest”
that they tried to put Junior be-
hind four solid walls with no
windows, but their plan back-
fired. They not only imprisoned
Junior, but they lost the intimate
love and confidence they might
have had from him if they had
had the courage to help him face
the realities. Anna Makushak
not only hid her son from the
Draft Board; she locked him out
of her own life.
Some people are equally neu-
rotic about their religion. Be-
cause they are afraid to let the
spirit of Christ have complete
sway in their lives, they lock what
little religion they have in a
secret compartment of their soul.
These fearful people cringe at the
idea that anyone might possibly
find out they have a faith in God,
petrified at the possibility that
their agnostic friends may make
fun of them, or think them to
be weak. As a result of this un-
balanced fear, their religion does
them no good, and the world
about them suffers. Jesus illus-
trated this peculiarity ill His par-
able on the Pounds The little
man who lud his pound with tin
thought of returning it <<» the
Master intact, found himself east
into "outer darkness "
FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1948.
Do you carry your religion
around in a secret compartment?
Let me persuade you to break
down the barriers and open the
windows of your soul. Trust
( hrist and the Holy Spirit to
guide you aright, to maintain
your dignity and command of
respect. Jesus said, "Neither do
i men light a candle and put it
I under a bushel, but on a candle-
stick. "

Two Heads Are Better
Than One (Or None)
I get a kick out of buying stuff
down al the hardware store And
I always ask for a little advice from
one of the two brothers who run it,
because I know beforehand exactly
what the answer will he.
Like when 1 needed n new gar-
den hose. "Henry,” 1 says, "how
about this new plastic hose- is it
really as good as rubber? ” " W ell,”
he says, “I’m inclined to think it
is hut you’d 1>< tter ask Tom.”
I found Tom in back and nsks
him the same question. “Well,”
says Tom, “in my opinion it is —
but you’d better ask Henry.” “I
already have,” I says, “and when
you two cautious old codgers agree
I’d bet my life on the decision.”
From w here I sit, your ow n opin-
ion is worth a lot—but so’s the
other fellow's. That's why I keep
saying, over and over, let’s be tol-
erant of the other person's point
of view—whether it’s on politics or
farming— or whether you like milk
shakes and he prefers a temperate
glass of beer.
