Along the Potomac
to Washington


10 visited Washington last week,
1t the "holidays" were that in name
~ for most conscientious Congress
en-.
Legislators coming lael, to the ma
ms capital from all parts of the
untry recounted to each other some
the experiences they had i'm work
Q among their people. 1t was good
T. the congressman to be able to get
t and to get the views of large
mbers of Americans. No matter
W much mail a Congressman re-
ives-and most Of us get from so
100 letters a day, it seems-it is
Ill good for him to keep in close
uch with his constituents.
Since my district is so close to the
pital, I was extremely fortunate
ring the Easter recess to get to
sit each County in the District. I
IS in Hagerstown on several oc-
sions-once to discuss labor-man-
ement legislation with representa-
es of labor organizations and once
be the guest of the Board Of Direc-
s of the Hagerstown Chamber of
mmerce.
In Allegany county I met with a
legation composed Of the officers
labor groups when we went over
labor management legislation
W before the House. I also attended
installation of officers ceremonies
Henry Hart Post Veterans of
reign Wars in Cumberland. | spent
day in Garrett county and made
trip to Savage River dam During
: week l had several conferences
III the Committee members alrang-
: for the Airport Dedication at
ederick on May /. Another i'm
rtant meeting was at Rockville on
)ril 90, when | met with officials of
ckville and the members of the
lryland State Roads Commission to
.cuss the proposed Rockville by
