 Venereal diseases, if not con- trolled, can undermine the welfare, health and morals oi our war work CTS on the nome front The May Act" passed July II, 1941, which has as its purpose the prohibition ot prostitution in the vicinity of mili- tary areas, is strictly in the nature of emergency legislation to promote the health, welfare and efficiency of the armed forces.

"A Letter To Congress- President Alfred C. Fuller of Manufacturers As- sociation of Connecticut Appeals for Service
 for America, American People.

strongly believe that you men who represent us in Congerss are just as honest and just as conscientious in ! your work as we are back home de- spite the insidious attempts now going on to depress your stock to an 'all-time' low. If you fall short or are impelled by self interest and unpartiotic motives, as your accus- CTS claim, then you merely represent a pathetic cross-section of Ameri- can life which sorely needs the purge of painful sacrifice to come alive again to its destiny. You can't be rightly condemned as a body any more than we who elected you
 Politics In Service
 Although your job requires you to be politically minded, some of you have played pure politics when the honor of holding office or job meant more than serving your country. Some of you have played the game of politics when the more difficult role of statesman would have won greater rewards. But you were by no means alone in your false reasoning, because some of your constituents took the same back trail in legal, church, labor and business affairs at home. Some of you have failed to measure up, not because of conscience or honesty but for lack of vision of the great American destiny. You might have succeeded with just a little more effort on your part and more intelligent guidance and encourage ment from those of your constitu- erts who had the ability to assist you, but didn't.
 Whatever your mistakes of the past have been, whatever your dis couragements and however dark the future may look, we urge you to rise in the present great crisis of humanity to preserve for your chil- dren and ours the great revolution ary principle which embraces eco- homie, religious and political free dom for Americans Yours is a most difficult task to delegate neither to much nor too little authority to boards and agencies believed tc be necessary In the war effort. Toe little delegation may lose the wal for survival; too much may lose both the war and the peace. Some where in between lies the security of your prestige before the bar ot American Public Opinion With our help and faith in mankind's great spiritual capacity for accomplish ment you can perpetuate a freedom here that will eventually spread to every nation. The American people are depending on you, while the majority of the people of the old world join them in a prayer for your successful fight against the forces of international coercion and slavery. Representative government depends on your honesty, indepen- dence and judgment. You are the voice of a free people-the last great hope of earch. It must not be silenced."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-20

Writing in the July issue of Con- necticut Industry, organ of the Manufacturers Association of Con- necticut, President Alfred c. Full Ter urged members of Congress, despite all obstacles, ito rise in the present great crisis of humanity to preserve for your children and ours the great revolutionary principle which embraces economic, religious and political freedom for Ameri- cans" In his editorial entitled "A Letter to Congress" he said:
 ITO begin with, you as members of the Senate and House hold pos- itions of the highest honor and re- sponsibility. On arising every morn ing you should include in your mental setting-up exercises strong reminder that you have the most important job in this country--one that may mold the whole pattern of life tomorrow.
 That's not going to be an easy task, for many of you are discourag- ed--and for good cause. You have sat in your offices in a depressing vacuum of silence after perspiring for days--perhaps weeks and months --of work which resulted in the suc- cessful completion of some worthy project of great value to your state and country. You received all too little help from back home and less commendation when the job was done.
 Help Appeals
 At other times you've been delug- ed with urgent requests for help-- help to save business, to find a job for a friend, to make an ap- pointment with MT. D in the "Helr Everybody" bureau. You've been asked to push this bill and urged tc stop another. In short, you've beer threatened, maligned, misrepresent- ed and damned by almost everybody who doesn't agree with your judg- ment. Yours is one of the most diff ficult and thankless jobs in the na- tion--and yet tho most important
 Tn spite of the thick black pal of condemnation that has obscuret your true motives from your publi back home,' and the subtle innuen dos that would tend to move yol into a back seat to give bureal chiefs the spotlight, never forget fo a moment that you are still con sidered the guardians of our free dom by silent millions of American who work, play, pay taxes and onl. grumble now and then to thei neighbors and friends.
 You have made mistakes, ant some bad ones. But so have we bacl home. Somehow, a long time ags we Americans formed the habit O. looking upon our clergymen, judges ministers, newspaper editors anC legislators as men set apart iron the rest of Us = men so imbued witt the righteous zeal for service te their fellows that they breathed only in a rarefied atmosphere devoid oi pettiness, self interest and greed Perhaps we were too naive when WI formed that habit out of the in- spiration of a Washington, a Jeffer. son and a Lincoln. Perhaps we put too much faith in your predecessor then - too little in you now. But
