He was elected to Congress in 1914.
I'm the bitter fight over the League
of Nations after the first World
War. Representative Tinkham
lined up with the Senate irrecon-
cilables against both League and
World Court. Equally vigorous
was his fight against prohibition
which brought him into years of
conflict with the Anti-Saloon
League and the Board of Temper
ance and Public Morals of the
Methodist Church
He was a consistent critic of the
Roosevelt administrations foreign
policies before this country be-
came embroiled in the present war,
insisting there was a determined
effort being made to involve the
United States.
Mr.. Tinkham's hobby has been
world travel and big-game hunt
ing, and his apartment in the
Arlington Building is filled with
trophies attesting to his skill with
a rifle.
The apartment itself figured in a
battle a few years ago when the
Government took over what was
then the Arlington Hotel for Office
space. Occupying an apartment
under a 99-year lease, Mr. Tink-
ham refused to get out. and there
he has remained. although the Gov
ernment occupies all the rest of the

Army plane and a blimp dropped

7inkhom to End House Career
At Expiration of 18th Term
Veteran Boy Slater
Gives Redistrictinq,
Age us Reasons

George Holden Tinkham, for %
years Republican member of the
House from Massachusetts,, will
leave Congress at the end of his
term.
The veteran Bay Slater with the
famous beard last night announced
his intention to step out, pleading
age-he is 71-and explaining that
the shifting tide of population in
his district-the tenth-had left him
with a changed constituency-"and
to large part of that constituency
I am comparative stranger"
He gave this statement to re-
porters:
II intend to retire from Congress
at the end of my present term.
Il have served in the House of
Representatives for % years with
deep sense of the obligations which
service in Congress imposes. have
served with all the vigor at my COM
mand and in accordance with the
dictates of my own conscience and
my own judgment. -"
Congress Labors Heavy.
Men in public life are usually
loath to leave it, but taking into
account my age and the fact that
with our country in a world war of
unparalleled magnitude and pros
pectively of long duration the labors
of Congress are redOubled and the
sessions of Congress are continuous,
am ready to stand aside and to
have placed upon younger shoulders
the burdens which I have carried
for more than quarter of a cen
tury.
"A further circumstance con-
tributes to my decision not to seek
reelection. In the redistricting of
the State by the Legislature in
compliance with the 1910 congress
sional reapportionment in which
Massachusetts lost one seat, the
10th Congressional District, which
l have so long represented suffered
major alterations, both by subtrac-
ton and by addition. Today the
10th District is new constituency
and to a large part of that con-
stituency I am comparative
stranger"
Scion of an old Boston family
and graduate of Harvard Univer-
sity, Mr.. Tinkham entered politics
via the Boston City Council in 1897.

improve on the unity Of compul-
sion" he said followed Pearl Harbor
with a greater unity of purpose
dedicated to winning the war.
Addressing the 3oth annual meet
ing of the chamber, Mr.. Hawkes., a
member of the War Labor Board,
said there was a broader unity re-
quired of American people If they
were TO beat the Axis.
1T is a vital unity-born only of
voluntary cooperation" he said.
Unity in action requires cessation
Of normal criticism of those in au-
thority But it does not require a
cessation of criticism if and when
those in authority do, or contemplate
doing, things which are destructive
of our form Of Government and our
American way of life"
Opposes Closed Shop.
Mr.. Hawkes. expressed opposition
to the closed shop and check of
system, and said he believed millions
of workmen would work 48 hours a
week without overtime If per-
mitted to.
He urged reduction in unneces-
sary Government expenditures, and
asserted we must be willing to
assume our place along with other
powers OF the world to establish 8
world policing agency to prevent
another war"
On the question of closed shop,
Mr.. Hawkes. said, in part: II would
caution labor that they particularly
must be eternally vigilant lest they
lose their precious heritage of free
dom, which includes a mans right
to work .. This freedom Is in
jeopardy today through the device
commonly called the closed shop or
maintenance Of union membership
or the check-off system-enforced
upon both employer and employe
against their will"
Il know I am right when T tell
you that there are millions of work.
men who, if permitted to do it and
If unshackled, would work AZ hours
week for fair wage-without
time and a half or double time
without regard to whether it is
Saturday. Sunday or a holiday" he
continued
Way to Victory.
I'VE need unity in action to re-
duce every unnecessary Govern
ment expense whether it be munich
PAL county. State or national.
Unity cannot come in wartime from
a scramble for money, place and
power. The way is not through
proving labor unpatriotic and re-
calcitrant-not through indicting
and smearing those in ownership
and management expected to per-
form. The way to victory is through
shoulder -to-Shoulder work in a
common cause with a common de-
termination and a common under
standing.
II urge the Government to stop
all unnecessary and unjustified at
tacks upon the units of our eco
nomic life whose full cooperation
is required to win the war of pro-
duction.
Il urge those in business to de-
sist in their criticism of those in
authority, except in the instances
that are vital to the preservation
OF our form of government /.
and the final victory we must
achieve"
