I want to tell him what I think of him Bumped into Bob Wagner of New York. Wish there were more like him in the Senate He was one man in the secret OPA House Senate conference who really went d\vn the line for the public. Wright Patman of Texas and Will liam Barry of New York were two others.
 Things are a little slow at the State Department with both you and Byrnes away. However, I picked up the following items. The U. s. A. has decided to sup port Transjordania' bid for ad- mission into the United Nations. This is to appease the Arabs. Truman has invited the Belgian Prince Regent to come to Wash lngton in October as govern ment guest.

How Others Voted on OPA

Here is how other Senators, up for election this year, voted on OPA: of the Democrats, IA up for election went right down the line for effective price control On 'ly Democrats who welched were OMahoney of Wyoming, Walsh of Mass, Murdock of Utah and Car vile of Nevada - and they welched only a couple of times. Of course, this doesn't take in the "RepocratS" like George and Rus sell of Georgia, Eastland of Mis- sissippi and others not up for re- election who ran out on Truman most of the time. Here is the Republican score card: Langer and Young of North Dakota voted con- sistently against price control They come from solid COP farming areas. Austin of Vermont, another solid COP state, also voted against Senate in January for the United Nations) One Republican, La Toilette of Wisconsin, voted con- sistently for price control, except on one amendment - dairy prod ucts Three other Republicans split their vote KnoWland of California, Smith of New Jersey, Stanfill of Kentucky. Most of the time they leaned against price control Wonder what the re- action will be next November?
 Did some more checking on Rep. Frank Keefe of Oshkosh, Wis, whom you listed as a pocketbook" Congressman. Hes the guy who voted against national cemeteries to bury the war dead, and in favor of using private cemeteries. The Lakeview Memorial Park cemetery, of which the Congressman is presi- dent reported a total income of S22,533 last year This was against Sl7,396 the year before.

The Washington

I have made a survey of how the solons voted on OPA. It shows two amazing miracles: Byrd of Vir- ginia and McKellar of Tennessee voted right down the line for price control and the people. They bucked the Hobbies. (Both are up for election this year9 The fight on McKellar is getting hotter. He may be licked. Didn't suppose anything could overturn the Byrd machine in Virginia but he seems worried = at least worried enough to vote with the folks.

MIAMI, Fla, Sept. .14-Postmaster
General Hannegan said tonight that
in the November elections the people
will give clear answer to those
who would raise the price of their
products while they lower the values
of human life"
In addressing the National ASSo-
citation of Postmasters' Convention
Mr.. Hannegan declared:
The people aren't giving up tested
programs for untried promises. The
people aren't calling back the kind
OF leaders who thought in terms of
millions of dollars instead of millions
of people"
Mr.. Hannegan, who also Is Dem
ocratic national chairman, said the
next few years will be made more
critical ones by political disrupters
who will try to hammer a wedge be-
tween the people and their Govern
ment-between veterans and the
labor unions-between races and
religions"
Hits "Peddlers of Discomfort"
Mr.. Hannegan asserted there Is
no room in the Roosevelt Truman
kind Of democracy for intolerance
or discrimination against minori-
ties" He added:
There is no place in the Roose-
velt-Truman kind of democracy for
special benefits for those on top and
no benefits for those at the bottom
There is no time in the Roosevelt
Truman kind of democracy to listen
to the peddlers of discomfort and
the statesmen of sectional hatreds.' >
The price of durable peace, Mr.
Hannegan said, must add up to 9
victory over poverty and unemploy-
ment-over want and disease-the
conquering of racial and religious
prejudices everywhere in the world.
President Roosevelt brought a

bringing an inspiring appreciation
to what team work and fair play
mean" he declared.

dicted victory for MIR. Truman and
the party in 1948.

such weapon"

Wyatt Raps Landlords;
Who Will Rent Only
To ChiIdIess Couples

Housing Administrator Wilson w.
Wyatt, assailing certain landlords
who refuse to rent to veterans with
children as 'nnfair in every sense. -
charged last night that the number !
OF persons occupying dwelling units
is dwindling in some cities at the,
same time the housing shortage is,
becoming more acute.
Pointing to surveys which he said
indicate that the number of parsons
per dwelling unit was going down,
Mr.. Wyatt appealed to persons OWL
ing property Ito end the 'no-chil-
dren' ban"
Some landlords are refusing to
rent to veterans with children even
though these veterans families are
facing severe hardships," ne said.
I'VE receive many complaints daily
about the reprehensible practice by
certain landlords of refusing to rent ;
their homes and apartments to vet
Grams whose families include young
children.
They only rent to single persons
or to couples, to save wear and tear
on their properties, they claim.
This is unfair in every sense. It .
is unfair to the veteran who left his ,
family and home and job and every
day comforts of life to protect our
country in time of war. 1t is unfair
to the veterans wife. who, during
those years, so gallantly carried on .
at home
But above all it is unfair to the
child. He is condemned to crowded.
unhealthful, unsanitary dwellings:
he is exposed to conditions that so
often lead to juvenile delinquency
and crime. disease and mental in
stability; at the very least, he is de-
pr1ved Of the advantages Of an ade-
quate home in decent surroundings.
Whenever tragedy has struck, at
home or abroad, America has always
been prompt to help relieve suffer-
ing and hardship.
I'VE are helping to heal the
wounds Of war-ravaged nations. Let
us not be blind to the tragedy which
so many Of our veterans families
face in America today.
