Congress Hears
 Lame Ducks
 Report On Vote
By Jack shnnett

WASHINGTON = MI. Speaker. this is lame ducks report to Congress
 With those words. Luther Pat rick. three times representative from the district around Birming- ham. Ala. but defeated in the pri- marfes for reelection, opened bushel basket Of wit and wisdom on the floor of the House the other day His colleagues. most Of whom still have 10 face the voters. listen ed attentiyely. laughed often and applauded wildly.
 Luther Patrick is respected member Of the House. He was one Of the first toilers in the defense vine yard. He voted against that much misunderstood. so-called Congres- sionaI pension l don't think he holds an X-card Ip spite of the faet that he was up for reelection. he attended to affairs here until three weeks before election day.
 Most congressman were stunned by his defeat. Ii Patrick was. his sense Of humor certainly has re- yiYed him Without animosity to- ward voters or successor. Patrick reviewed his predicament
 No one man is indispensable. but every man lost from Con gress weakens that Congress" he said The voters do not gfasp the importance of holding a war Con gress intact"
 There is entirely too much dis trust and skepticism Tn the minds of the populaee toward this Com gress. To blame the public is fool fsh Congress must be able to blame itself, find the trouble and find some way to overcome il.
 The yagueness Of their unrest makes it all the more serious. Pat rick said and to illustrate the troubled minds of the voters listed question after questions which he was asked; questions which he pre- stunned other candidates for re- election to Congress also would be asked this summer.
 Examples: What about the a. greement between Standard Oil and the German Chemical Trust? I heard that a number of times.
 What about Leon Henderson? ]? Now, how are you going to answer a question like that?
 What have you done for the small businessman? It seems there are so many small business men.
 What about gasoline rationing against all Of us while Congress has all the gas il wants. on the floor and off2 Why did not Con- gress do something about heading off the rubber shortage? What a. bout the lag and drag in Congress on prepardness and war legisla- tion? Why have you NOT been a. round to see us? But if I show up during a Congressional session, the question is, Isn't Congress in ses- sion? You get back on the job
 What about you fellows being asleep at the switch when the Japs hit us al Pearl Harbor? Why have n't you brought more war indus tries into this district? When are We going to invade the continent of Europe? How many fighting men do We have in the far east? (Mili- tary secrets When are you going 10 settle down to tax program we can depend on?"

CAR OPERATORS

Detroit, Mich. (ILNS).-Employes

ton system are rejoicing over wage
adjustments, awarded by an arbitra-
tion board, which are said to make
car and bus operators here the worlds
highest paid mass transportation
workers.
Under the award, bus drivers get
20 per cent pay increase and motor
men and conductors on street cars get
Is per cent. The increase will add al
most $2,000,000 annually to the in
comes of the 4,500 employees. The pay
boosts are retroactive to April /,
amounting to between $135 and $3.50
back pay per employe.
Street car motormen and conductors
will receive 81 an hour after years
service and bus operators $1.10 per
hour. The overtime rate, as set by
the award, is doubled. Operators in
structing students are to be paid ST
day extra. Formerly they received so
cents day.
The wage increases came a year
after an arbitration award which in
creased the annual earnings Of the
men about $1,000,000 through an
hourly pay raise of 6 cents.
