APPLEBY GETS
HIGH TRIBUTE
Of Work Done in Congress by
Noted Editorial Body
Director

A high tribute to the work done
by r. Frank Appleby, of Asbury
Park, in the last congress as the
representative of New Jerseys third
congressional district, is paid by
James A. Buchanan. president OF the
National Press Association. The
Press association Offices are in Wash
ington and an excellent opportunity
is afforded its officers and employees
10 study the work Of the various
United States senator's and congress-
men. Mr.. Buchanan in his article
let's the people Of New Jersey know
that the former representative con-
sistently and earnestly worked for
The people he represented.
Mr.. Buchanan writes as follows:
If American coast waters are to be
rid of the oil waste nuisance, if bath
ing beaches are to be preserved,
fisheries not destroyed and migra-
tory water fowl are to be saved from
destruction it will be because of the
tremendous pressure that former
Representative T. Frank Appleby
has brought to bear. Aopleby intr~-
duced and secured the passage of a
Joint resolution authorizing the
President of the United States to call
I conference Of maritime nations to
provide effective a for the pre-
gentton of pollution of n~avigable wa
ters by oil-burning oil-carrying
steamers which throw over board
oil water, oil sludge, oil slop, water
baiest and other offensive materials.
Had 1t not been for the cZarlike and
inexplicable action of Congressman
Campbell of Kansas the bill making
1t a federal offense to dump such
refuse within three miles limit would
now be in the statute books as APP
pleby had secured the active Coz
operation Of President Harding. Sec
rotary Hughes, Secretary Hoover
and other prominent officials. The
work that Appleby did on this meas
IRE and his efforts up to the closing
lays Of congress and even after that
time, will, no doubt, result in the
next congress passing this measure.
Another measure introduced by
he retiring member from the third
Congressional district is that lei
ire which would amend the federal
reserve act so hat the smaller banks
IL the country would participate in
The profits that go solely to the larg-
II banking institutions. This bill will
NAtAGO0OLC0Iy b0 C4IoNAId 4AIIO Jaw at
he next session of congress.
Il was Appleby's vote that decided
he question of placing on the fed
eral reserve board d man to repre-
sent the agricultural interests Of the
country. Appleby holding. with
Secretary of Agriculture, Wallace,
that a square deal should be given
10 those engaged in the farming in
1ustry.
1t was learned today that Pre-; j.
lent Harding has expressed his deep
regret that Appleby will not be a
nember of the next congress. Mem
bers Of the farm bloc, regular Re-
.Xtrcans- Progressives and all other
divisions of political forces. have
paid tribute to the retiring congress-
man from the third district because,
IS several OF them expressed it, APP
pieby could be depended upon TO do
That which was honest and would
sfve his time to woTl ing for the in
forest of the country, not to merely
drawing a salary and being present
when Junketing trips were proposed.
In the opinion of many who closely
watch congressional proceedings the
retirement of Mr.. Appleby is not only
a loss to the third congressional dis
trlct OF New Jersey, but to the en-
lire country.
