u. S. Sen. Robert NJ LaFollette,
Jr., is proud of his descent from
frontiersmen who had been in the
vanguard of many east-to-west
migrations. And friends say that
the spirit of the pioneer is promi-
nent in his makeup.
He is known to most people,
however, as the Progressive Sen
ator from Wisconsin, and son Of
Fighting Bob" La Toilette. The
same political "insurgent" beliefs
that motivated the elder statesman
are held in large degree by Young
Bob"
After the death of his father in
1925, young La Toilette was elected
to the Senate to carry on the
doctrines which comprised the
Wisconsin idea" He took his seat
in the Senate at the age of 30,
determined to carry out the insur-
SCllI lOlG VI lllo ldLllGI.
Champion of Farmer
For years he hammered away at
the need for national tax system
based on the principle of ability to
pay according to income. Today
he belongs to the Senate Finance
Committee, which reviews and
recommends tax bills for passage.
On many issues he has champion
ed the cause of the farmer. Because
Wisconsin farmers were sour on
many aspects of the New Deals
anti-infation program, La Toilette
in 1912 found himself in opposition
to President Roosevelt on much
legislation.
Full-lipped, black-haired Senator
La Toilette married his secretary,
Rachel Wilson Young, in 1880, and
they have two children Shortly aft
err their marriage the La Follettes
purchased a historic residence in
Virginia, but Senator La Toilette
still considers home his fathers
estate, Maple Bluff Farm, at Madi-
son, Wis.
Young Bob still has his fathers
quick, nervous stride, and the same
habit of swift gesture in brushing
back his hair or swapping out a
pocket handkerchief while in a
debate.

"'0HE trouble with having such
an ALFRED modern family
and trying to keep up with them,"
Alice told herself as she looked
around the hotel dining room on
Christmas Day, sis that modernism
and Christmas just don't go to-
gether."
Her face felt as stiff as a hard
ened jelly mold from holding the
smile she was determined not to re-
lax, and internally she was positive
ly wound up from the effort to emu
late the rest of the gay, noisy people
who were here instead of being at
home where Alice thought they
should be on that day above all 9th
ers that has made your own freside
the place you most like to be.
While they waited for the entree
she and William were alone, sitting
at opposite ends of the long table
watching their children dance. Each
one had been permitted a guest of
his own age, but Alice's eyes were
focused on her tall, dark-haired Bill
and his slim, golden-haired girl,
Rosemary Bill would soon be
eighteen, that was why he fixed her
attention
William came over and sat be-
side her. Happy, Alice?" he said,
and covered her hand with his.
She returned his smile. After all,
this spree was costing enough to
have bought three or four turkeys
for home consumption. "You were
right, dear" she said. "The young
sters love it."
Rosemary told me this is the one
orchestra of all on the air that she'd
choose to see," he said proudly.
"It's holy wonder her folks would
let her out of the house on Christ
mas Day"
"The Clusters are pretty old-fash-
Toned people," said Alice, feeling
that she was complimenting the
girls family.
We're good for the Custers,"
said William. "They need stirring
up. It's a fine thing for Rosie to get
out and see a bit of the world"
They're having their Christmas
dinner tonight" said Alice. Mrs.

Custer has invited Bill before the
young people go to the dance"
Come on, Alice, let's show these
kids what for" In spite of the crowd,
William covered the ground as he
had in college when she fell in love
with him. She was glad that she had
managed to have her hair done Sat
urday. The gardenias the children
had given her to wear to church yes
terday were still fresh. She'd let
Sister wear them tonight if her date
didn't crash through. Bill had bet
Sis fifty cents he wouldn't.
The orchestra melted into "White
Christmas" and young Bill tapped
his father on the shoulder. MONS
favorite, Dad. Let's change"
Alice said, "You dance almost as
well as your Dad"
Look at him, will your" said
Bill "Quite the old boy"
Before long everyone was helping
Bill and Sister dress for the dance.
Bill lost his wager, and whistled
over the red roses that were just
right on the turquoise blue of Sis
ter's frock.
She said Bill looked simply gor-
geous in his tuxedo and when his
father saw him he said, "Too bad
they don't wear 'em in, the army,
son."
They heard Bill call Rosemary's
number on the phone downstairs
and then he closed the door for pri-
vacy. Wouldn't you think" said
Sister, 'he'd give the poor girl a
chance to take bath? I bet she
gets good and sick of him."
Suddenly Alice remembered a call
she had forgotten to make about the
baskets the church distributed yes
terday. She flew to the upstairs
extension, and when she heard Bill
still talking in leisurely fashion, she
opened her mouth to say, as she
often did when necessary, Hang up,
you two. l need the phone"
But she didn't say those words or
any others. She listened few mo-
ments and her eyes filed with tears.
The disappointment and hurt at
the way her family had preferred to
spend their Christmas vanished as
her very best Christmas present of
1945 was received on the wire.
"Heck no." Bill was saying. 81

NEW YORK-The late w. Arthur

Continuing, he writes, we feel
that if this condition is allowed to

Pennsylvania, for each state has laws

out to make clear that a great deal
of the breakdown in our industrial

lieving it to be a matter of clear
justice to all concerned.
81 cannot see why anyone-union
or non-union-would oppose this
Legislation. Union men ought to
have the right to solicit non-union
men to become members of their
organization. No one wants to take
this right away from them. But
that is a different thing from COM
polling men who have broken none
of the laws of the country from US
ing the very highways for which all
citizens are taxed. 1t is difficult for
me to understand why any Ameri-
can would oppose the passage of the
Hobbs bill, whether he belongs or
does not belong to a union. We
ought to have equal rights to use
the highways of this Nation with
out paying involuntary tribute to
any organization whatsoever.
For these reasons | have written
to my constituent telling him that ]
shall support this bill if l have an
opportunity to vote in the Senate.
Here is one place where it seems
to me Congress can act in the inter
est of the whole people and without
inficting the slightest injustice on
any citizen or group of citizens, or
ganized or unorganized, in this Re
public. Here is one place we can
make good on the democracy we

to preserve"
