| No. I. The Hobbs notwithstanding
BiII.-This bill is generally interpreted
as bringing labor unions under the
provisions of the Anti-Racketeerine
Act, passed in 1884 to catch kidnapers

on April 8, 1913, by vote of 270-107
No. 2. Overriding of the Presidents
Veto of the Smith-connalIy BilI.-This
took place on June 25, 1913, and was
carried by a vote of 244-10S.
No. 8. Lifting the $4,000 Net Cell
ing Placed on Salaries by the Presi-
dent.-This roll call is on the final
passage of the bill raising the debt
limit of the United States govern
ment, which carried rider canceling
the Presidents administrative order
limiting net salaries after deduction
of income tax to $4,000 a year.
Passed by the House on March II,
1913, by a vote of 268-129.
No. a. Federal Income Tax Bill
This is the final vote in the House on
the current tax bill. AS finally drawn
by the Conference Committee of the

Passed by the House on June 1, 1913,

The men you are visiting may feel
depressed 1t is his right to feel so.
1t is an offense to his dignity and
his common sense to go into routine
Of transparent "cheeriness." The ex-
press intent of cheering up is seldom
convincing or effective.
Nor is it usually convincing or bene-
fetal to try to minimize the Gripping
effect of manning. By facing the
reality of mans disability yourself,
you can help him face it.
Personal anxieties and problems of
all kinds lose their capacity to frigh-

A disfigured man who finds his
friends acting naturally and casually
about his Disagreement will more
easily avoid being the kind of person
who goes through life shrinking if a
child asks, whats the matter with
that MANI"
If a person has one leg, it is bet
ter to admit that fact and not try to
conceal it. If one is deaf, the hear
ing aid should be worn openly, not
treated as an embarrassing detail. A
hearing aid or an artificial leg is just
that and nothing more The only diff
ference it makes is that one hears
or walks better with it than with
out it.
a. Don't wait on the injured man too
much.
Even though a disabled soldier or
sailor be surrounded with sympathy
waited on hand and foot by nurses
and given countless attentions, he
may still despair. He may still view
which brings little happiness to him
and no benefit to anybody else. If
his faith in his ability to do things
is restored the rest of the treatment
is easy.
One way to help him toward this is
to respress your natural desire to
help him at every turn. Don't keep
offering to do things. The blind men
who are given jobs carrying messages
in Army and Navy hospitals are con-
stantly being stopped by well-meaning
visitors who want to help them get
about. Such interference, of course,
destroys some of the effectiveness of
he treatment, as the men are learn

agreed to abolish the board.

No. 10. Appropriation for the Ma
tionaI Youth Administration. Oh
June %, when considering the appro
priation bill for labor and federal Sc
curity agency, the Senate committee
in charge of this bill offered al
amendment to include in the bill al
appropriation to continue the Nation
al Youth Administration, which the
House had deleted from the bill. This
amendment was passed in the Senate
by vote of Al to 81. However, later
| in conference with the House, the
Senate agreed to recede from its posi-
ton, and the NYA was abolished
No. II. Lifting the $4,000 Net Cell
ing Placed on Salaries by the Presi.
denton March %, 1943, the Senate
considered the bill to raise the debt
limit of the United States govern
ment, which had already been amend
ed by the House to raise the $4,000
limit placed on salaries by presiden-
tial order The Senate amended the
House provision, making it even more
liberal, by an overwhelming vote of
"a to 3. The vote in the Senate,
coming as it did on the amendment,
and not the bill as in the House, is
thus entirely free from any possible
confusion as to what the vote was
about.
No. IL. Federal Income Tax BILL
This is the final vote in the Senate on
the current tax law AS finally drawn
by the Conference Committee of the
House and the Senate, it placed
proportionately much heavier burden
of taxes on those with small incomes.
Passed by the Senate on June 2, 1913,
by vote of 81 to 10.
No. 10. Dismiss Watson, Dodd and
Lovett-Representat Taber of New
York offered an amendment to the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill
for 1913, which forbade the use of
any of the funds provided by this bill
for payment of the salaries OF Wat
son, Dodd or Lovett The Kerr com
mittee had previously recommended
the dismissal of these men for their
connection with various organizations
which were defined as subyersive by
the Dies committee, and the agencies
for which they worked had refused
to discharge them, claiming them to
be efficient and patriotic citizens
Then the Senate, claiming this was a
bill of attainder, at first refused to
accept the House amendment to the
bill by vote of SO to 0, but later, as
a result of House refusal to recede
from its position, voted to concur with
the House by vote of 4S TO 80 on
July 2, 1913.

incentive payments" 1t was passed
by the House on April 80, 1913, by a
vote of 229-90.
No. 6. Increased Appropriation for
| Soil Conservation Payments by $780,
o00, 000.-This was vote on the Con-
ference Report of the Senate and the
House on the appropriation bill for
the Department of Agriculture. This
agreement of the House to the in
crease seemed to indicate a recession
from its position on the Cannon
amendment. The motion to concur
with the Conference Report was car
ried on June %, 1913, by a vote of
1875.
No. 7. No Funds for Crop lnsur-
ance.-On June %, 1943 the House
again took up the consideration of
the Conference Report on the appro-
priation bill for the Department of
Agriculture and refused to concur
with its recommendation that funds
be provided in this bill for crop in
surance on certain crops. The mo-
ton to concur was lost on June 20,
1913, by vote of 160-208.
No. 8. Refusal to Appropriate $780,
100000 More for the Rural Electrified
ton Program. - June 20, the House
again refused to concur with the rec
ommendation of the Conference Re
port that funds for the Rural Electri-
fication program be increased from
500, 100000 to s3O,0O0,00O. This mo-
ton to concur was lost in the House
on June 90, 1913, by a vote of 167-193.
No. 9. Liquidation of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation.-The bill
providing the appropriation for the
Indepedent Offices carried the Dirk
sen amendment providing for the Ii
quotation of the Hole. Passed by
the House on February II, 1913, by
a vote of 224-159.

cred on June Is in the House. An |

same bill was to reduce the funds |
for the enforcement division of the |

talking about it-that you feel about
him exactly as always, and that his
Disagreement is unimportant com
pared with your affection or friend
ship. The only difference could be an
even increased respect for him.
There is much to be gained from
contact with person who has suf-
fered a handicap and overcome it.
Such a person often gains extraordi-
nary largeness of character from his
fight and his success; and those
around him, in turn, gain from his ex-
ample.
Treating disabled men as normal
people is particularly important in
cases of mental disability Often, in
cases of this kind, the average person
retains ancient prejudices, and ap-
proaches a patient either with dis
taste or as though he were child
or fool 1t should be kept in mind
that vast strides have been made in
recent years in the treatment and re-
Mobilization of the mentally and nerv-
ously afflicted. They are simply ill
and their illnesses are usually cur
able.
1t should be emphasized also that
excessive praise of disabled man be-
cause of his disability is not helpful
A blinded hero is certainly entitled
to much praise for his devotion and
sacrifice; but sentimental lionizing is
far from having the permanent value
of rehabilitation, training in Braille,
job, and independence.
2. Don't ask questions or give advice.
The man who has been disabled or
disfigured may want to talk about
himself or he may not Respect his
wishes. Do not mention the disfig-
urement unless he does.
If he does not want to talk about |
talk about things he is in
terested in, or about objects in the |
room, or hobbies, or details of COM
mon interest. Don't talk about the
war or about subjects related to his
injury Don't pry or hint.
If he is eager to talk about himself,
listen and try to understand what he
wants to express. If he asks you
questions about himself-if he asks
for your opinions concerning the ade-
quacy of the treatment he is receiv-
ing, or his chances for recovery, or
his prospects of getting a job-an-
5wer them as best you can, but don't
become involved. Remember that
your opinions on such matters are
probably worth nothing. 1t is not
your opinions, but those of the ex-
,erts who are caring for him, that
count Your responsibility is to listen
without doing harm. The proferring
If opinions and advice without any
to back them up CAN do

The best answer to give wounded

Gentlemen
AS a supporter of this paper for
many years, | wish to state that edi-
torials such as the Western News.
and other papers have had your paper
reproduce for the purpose of SANDER
ing General Douglas Macarthur, Capt.
Rickenbacker and other defenders of
this country are not helping your pa
per with the better classes of citizens,
and this sort of thing should at least
stop for the duration of the war.
Those who see fit to SANDER our
war heroes are at the present time,
and perhaps during the First World
War, holding down some good polit-
ical job, and making no sacrifice
whatever.
Douglas Macarthur did carry out
President Hoover's orders in Wash
ington as was his sworn duty as an
officer, and if Roosevelt's generals
and admirals had carried out his or
ders at Pearl Harbor we would have
saved hundreds of lives, but these
Roosevelt officers were retired on So
10000 per year for failure to obey
orders, and we hear no criticism
among the petty politicians about
these incompetent men who COM
manded at Pearl Harbor.
My relatives in Australia tell me
that Douglas Macarthur saved Aus
tralia in spite of his meager support
from Washington, still this is the man
these politicians would Islander be-
cause they think the public will de-
mand that Macarthur run for presi-
dent and finish up the war as we need
a military man at the head of this
government during the balance of the
war following 1914.
Personally | hope that Roosevelt
will be kinder to the soldiers in the
future than he has been in the past,
for as Department Commander of the
Disabled American Veterans | am
with his record on Veterans
legislation, and know that he has re-
Gently vetoed some important Veter-
ans legislation of benefit to the Dis
abled Veterans and I hope he will
turn over a new leaf. Hoover drove
the bonus marchers out of Washing
ton, and Franklin d. Roosevelt later
vetoed the bonus bill TWICE before
passed it over his head, and
hope congress will have the courage
TO continue to pass all further Veter-
ans legislation after Franklin ID.
Roosevelt has vetoed the same.
1t is my opinion that if Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover had
served in the last war in any capacity
,ther than holding down political
ob we would not have to worry about
lis loyalty to the fighting men.
Yours for democracy,
ALBERT B. REPLOGLE.

But the American people-the fam
lilies, friends and acquaintance of the
disabled and disfigured men, and the
public at large-haye a responsibility
in the amtter too. 1t is up to them tt
further the mems progress during re
Mobilization by considerate and coop
erative behavior. Men who are work
ing hard to acquire new self-confid
ence, or who have acquired it, must
not be jolted out of it by thoughtless
uncontrolled manifestations of pity or
horror or distaste or false cheeriness
or too-eager curiosity or other emo
tionalism.
For the purpose of increasing public
awareness of some of the problems
faced by disabled and disfigured men
in their search for rehabilitation and
normal living, and for the purpose of
indicating to what extent public CO.
operation can be of benefit, the Sur
geon General of the Army has set
forth a series of guide-posts not only
for the families and friends of such
men, but for all who may come in
contact with them The suggestions
of rehabilitation in hospitals or voca-
tional training centers, but they also
hold good for later, after the wounded
mems return to civilian life.
1t is emphasized that they apply
to all types of disability cases where
the patient is emotionally disturbed:
cases of Disagreement, such as burns
or amputations; cases of blindness or
deafness; and psychiatric cases,
where the patient suffers from mental
shock.
Already some of the men in Army
and Navy hospitals, especially those
suffering from psychic disturbances
are expressing unwillingness to return
to their homes because they dread
the well-meant but emotionally trying
welcome they know they would re-
ceive.
Self-discipline and restraint will
have to be practiced by many persons
who have never before been in the
presence of disfigured or crippled men
especially by members of disfig-
ured mans family, and by his friends,
when seeing him for the first time
since his injury. This effort must |
be made if the men are not to re-
ceive set-backs in their progress.
normal person he always has been
and continues to be.
The loss of an arm or a jaw or an |
ear or leg may change the appear
ance of man. But personality and
character are not necessarily changed.
1t is true that they are almost GER
tain to be affected specifically and
until self-confidence is
restored; but after that point a dis
abled mans personality may even
grow, as the result of his own knowl-
edge of the handicap which he has
overcome and the respect of others.
John, who has lost his jaw, is still
everything his friends have always
known him to be. His Disagreement
does not make him into a different
person, though it may well result in
his growing to be bigger one.
If you are disturbed by the disfig
discipline yourself so that
your disturbance is not apparent. Do
not let horror or sorrow appear on
your face or in your voice or manner.
This may not be easy, and you may
not succeed entirely. But you will '
come closer to succeeding if you think l
