IT believe Congress is united in the prose-
cution of the war.
However believe the power of govern
mental agencies to issue orders and regula-
tons having the power and the effect of law
should be abolished Immediately.
ALSO, the waste and squandering of public
funds for unessential matters, either In the
war effort or in the civilian field, should be
stopped. The Lend-Lease program should be
carefully scrutinized to eliminate waste.
Taxes for everything but the war effort
should be reduced.
II have the feeling that the war against
Japan should have at least equal attention as
other major operations.
"On the home front, this entire rationing
and price fixing setup which is being organized
by men living in Washington without any cur
rent information as to living conditions in
other parts of the country, must be revised"

Regarding what the new Congress should
do, / believe our first duty is to win the war
and shall give my wholehearted cooperation
to the Commander in Chief on legislation that
l deem necessary. to the successful conduct
thereof.
along this line, am particularly inter-
ested in the manner in which we maintain
the financial stability of the country during
this period. We must give this question
serious consideration and there Is at the
present time much being said about a 'pay-as-
you-go' tax program.
ut is to be remembered that the domestic
front is extremely important to our war effort
and this Congress should see to 1t that this
administration effectively and efficiently func.
tons in all phases of this effort. This In
vitality important to our men and women on
the fighting front and of deep concern to their
loved ones at home.
An about program of production is more
important now than ever. II we are to win
this war, it will be won by production and not
restriction. In this regard feel that We
must change this administrations philosophy
of an economy of scarcity to philosophy Of
plenty.
1--WE can produce; we should be allowed
to produce and all restrictions should be re-
moved. 1t will be my purpose, and feel that
this Congress should seriously consider and
should endeavor to bring this about-that we
might win this war as quickly as possible
with minimum loss of human life and
property"

Anna.

was sensitive. Anna had really been hired by
the Brandwin family as the upstairs maid.
But there wasn't always enough to do, so she
had to help Tessie in the kitchen before
dinner.
Mrs. Brandwin didn't recognize much trouble
She felt that Tessie and Anna actually liked each
other--deep down. The real cause of the argu-
ments, Mrs. Brandwin thought, was a gentleman
named Abner.
You see, TeSsie had sort Of set her cap for
Abner some. years ago. And she was doing very

And she liked Abner right away and Abner liked
