On nTheScene
 In Washington
By Travis K. Hedrick

WASHINCTON-As lines shar- pen in the legislative battle to win lasting peace after victory and full employment at home, the some thing new the people added to Congress when they turned out a big vote in November is beginning to show.
 Sitting along side smooth, sea- sOned politicians who came in on big money and have stayed too long are the freshmen backed by labor, elected on a peoples pro- gram the result of workers in politics.
 One of these "Of, by and for the people, congressman who with the support of the rank and file of CalifOrnia's 10th congressional district came to fight for progress sive laws is Rep. Ellis E. Patterson. Everyone calls him ''Pat.''
 Pat didn't have to hide behind phony slogans, make grandiose prom ises, deals or buy votes. He cam paigned on a record of 6 years in state legislature, a term as Califor- nia's lieutenant governor and years of experience as logger, mil1worker, merchant seaman, teacher and other jobs worked at while studying law
 To the mind of reactionary news paper, the Los Angeles E.xaminer, Pat carried his campaigning on the record much too far.
 Back in 1888 when he was lieu tenant gOvernAr-elect, Pat went down to the waterfront to take his place along side longshoremen and other workers picketing shipments of scrap iron to Japan.
 Since the hired hands of re- action couldn't very well shoot into a 'SmOb'' containing a coming state officer, the Examiner solaced it. self by shooting pictures of the pickets and smearing the ''radical'' Pat. Came the l944 election cam paign and Pat, who had whole hearted support of the AFL, CIO and railroad brOtherhOOds, turned the photos against the Examiner and used them to prove he'd long been fighting appeasement and greed.
 Now that he's Rep. Patterson O., Calif.) he still fights for the things he fought for in the legislature more liberal workmen's compensation, ade- quate relief standards, universial ap- plication of unemployment insurance, public power, shorter hours and high CT pay.
 Bills like Sen. James E. Murray's O., Mont.) full employment bill have his active backing. He thinks FEPC should go on the books as permanent federal agency to ban discrimination against race, creed or color. As to the poll tax which keeps millions of Americans from voting, Pat wants it ''oblit- erated."
 This freshman has lots of ideas on how votes make democracy work. "A

and I got out. Some hen helped me-"
 STRICTLY one of ''those things'' was the way a picture got into the DurEian1 (N. CD Herald. The cap ton explained: ''What price con trol has done.'' The picture showed grocery window, with all sorts of ration signs. A swell idea, but the picture was upside down.
 IMPRESSIVE new evidence that over-long hours fail to boost pro- duction is contained in two pamphlets just published by the Department of Labor and written by Max ID. Kossoris, chief of the industry hazards division of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
 On the basis of exhaustive stu dies made in l2 key war plants, KOssoris reported that as hours are heightened "absenteeism increases, injuries occur more frequently, and hourly efficiency declines until the total output from long hours of work may be actually less than could be obtained under a shorter working schedule.
 ''With few exceptions, the longer working time i'm the plants studied resulted in a general slowing down, not only during the added hours but throughout the work week, 5 he wrote.

ballot is weapon" he says, and when more people cast them there'll be more true representatives of the people in Congress.
 "This is much better Congress than the last one," he admits. But it isn't as liberal or as labor minded as the people of America deserve"
 His advice: 'Workers, get into politics hook, line and sinker. Be- tween elections write your con- gressman, protest when he falls down on you, praise him when he votes in your interest"
 Pat intends to vote in the peoples interest, to be a spokes- man for those who haven't money enough nor desire to high pressure selfish legislation.
 Looking over figures after bal lots were tallied, Pat figured he'd lost wealthy localities by the same ratio that he won poorer districts two to one.
 His conclusion is that there are lots more poor people than rich ones, which makes his job looking after them just that much bigger.

THE TRADE UNIONIST

An old man going lone highway Came at the evening cold and gray, To chasm vast and deep and wide, The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned when safe on the other side, And built bridge to span the tide. "Old man, said fellow pilgrim near, "You are wasting your time with building here. You never again will pass this way, Your journey will end with the closing day, You have crossed the chasm deep and wide, Why build you this bridge at evening tide?'' The builder lifted his old gray head, Good friend, in the way I've come,'' he said s'There followeth after me today, youth whose feet must pass this way. This stream that has been as naught to me To that fair-haired youth might pitfall be, He, too, must cross in the twilight dim, Good friend, I am building the bridge for him."

The civilian population is friendly

Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Kindsfatel
have a letter from their son, Pvt.
Herbert Kindsfater, in which he
enclosed a clipping a buddy had
written concerning experiences in
the Philippines. Portions of which
are reproduced:
When l last wrote l was in New
Guinea and since then l have trav-
eled quite a distance and have seer
many sights, good and bad. AS you
have already heard where this di-
vision is fighting l won't go into
details about things you know. I
am saving a few of the main ex-
~periences for the time when l go
home.
l can say that God has been with
us or we wouldn't have come this
far. The fellows who had to pay
the supreme price to keep peace on
earth, may God rest their souls.
When we knew we would be MAX
ing a beachhead here we were told
to expect rice paddles (fields) ga
lore and plenty of land mines. l
guess there were some land mines,
but when 1 landed on mother earth
/ had to think of home in spite of
the fighting that was going on.
There are many rice fields and some
appear like nice wheat fields in the
spring.
l spent the first night in a NOR
tar shell hole, with my truck for
overhead shelter. The shells came
over that night and I could feel the
ground shake when they hit.
We didn't get hit that night and
so again had something to be
thankful for. At daybreak we made
a little breakfast and were just
ready to move on to the main camp
when the Japs started Smelling
and one lone plane came in
to strafe the beach. During the
rest of the day all was calm, ex-
cept for our infantry and artillery
and a few pieces of the Japs' artil-
lery.

we used to have over cups of coffee
in the mornings. l believe Mac got
more first cups than anyone else.
Now that the war is over a lot of
the boys will be returning to Laurel.
I met my brother Tom, also Chef
Scott on this island. We manage to
get together, although we are locat-
ed some distance apart.

until / left the States last May.
Since then 1 have received only n
copy. Since finding Chef l have
read several he had.
This is a very pretty island. 1t
is rather hilly in parts, with noun
tains on the northern front. We
have plenty of rain; it rains every
day. The days are very hot and
high humidity doesn't help, but the
evenings are cool and ideal for
sleeping.
Now that the air raids are over,
nothing will get us up at night.

Hi, folks! Just got the Laurel
Outlook today dated July II, 1915,
and since that time a lot of things
have happened.
At last we have all heard the
news that we have waited for

It's something I'll never forget. 1
also know Pm awful happy and all
the rest of the G. rs must feel
about the same way.
We had a party last night in our
west mess hall. Each man had six
cans of free beer and lots of fun
and singing.
Since the last time I wrote my
