Two Interesting Names

The Congressman from Oklahoma has two interesting names on his payroll: l. James w. Taylor-who does not work in the Congressman's of- flee at all, but is salesman for the Herd Equipment Company of Oklahoma City. He draws $772O a year from the Congressman, ana $4,OO0 for selling machinery, plus another $17.50 from the taxpayers each month in the form of an Army. pension.
 2. Lloyd Matthews-who hash t been around the Congressman's of- flee since last summer, but has been employed in the Congressman's real estate firm at salary of $2,298- from the taxpayers.
 Unique fact is that Wickersham's office, when queried didn't even recognize Taylor's name. The secre- tary in charge, Aubrey Witt, scrat- ched his head. finally recalled that the Congressman knew a Jim Tay- Tor in Hobart, Okla. Yet Taylor is highest on the office pay roster, presumably should be in Washing ton working hard for the folks back home.
 Witt remembered Matthews with out any trouble, but reported he was working in the Congressman real estate office. He hadn't been around the Congressional office for months, Witt said.
 This column then put through a call to MT. Taylor in Hobart, Okla. Here is the transcript of the con- versation
 Question: You used to be in the Sheriff's office. didn't you, MT. Tay- Tor?
 Taylor: That's right.
 e.: Whom do you work for now? A.: The Herd Equipment Con- pany.
 e.: Do you also work for Con- greSSman WlckerShamP
 A.: Yes.
 O.: What do you do for the Con- gressman?
 A.: Oh, work as clerk.
 O.: What kind of clerical work do you do?
 A.: Oh, I answer letters for him.
  e.: Does the Congressman get many letters these days?
 A: No, not many.
 e.: You mean to say you get $7,700 a year just to answer few letters?
 A.: You ought to talk to the Con- gressman about that.
 e.: Well, do you work full time for MT. Wickersham?
 A.: Yes.
 e.: I thought you said you worked

Real Estate Employee


 This column also put through call to the other secretary, Lloyd Mattehws. Here is the transcript Of the conversation:
 Question: Do you work for Con- gressman Wickersham?
 Matthews: Yes.
 O.: In his Congressional office? A.: No, I work for his real estate company. O.: If you don't work in his Con- gressional office, how do you &C., count for the fact that you are on his Congressional payroll? A.. (Pause) How do you know I'm on his Congressional payroll? O.. There's no mistake about that. I saw it.
 A.: Well, when I say I don't work in his Congressional office, that doesn't preclude the possibility that I work for him on the out side.
 O.: am aware that you work for the Congressman in his real estate office. That's the point. Why should the taxpayers pay you for that?
 A.: I mean secretarial work. O.: Do you do secretarial work on the outside for the Congress man?
 A.: You will have to talk to MT Wickersham about that.

100000 was most questionable. The Eighth Amend ment to the Constitution integral part of the Bill of Rights prescribes that excessive bail shall not be required" Surely million dollars is in the unsavory neighborhood of the excessive.
 Not even the most rabid of the Communists logically claim that the sums asked by the appeals court are high, however Seven of the II had to post $2O000 each; the other four, $30,000. Their fervent supporters after reminder that in Russia men like these would get bail at all, may retire to the back of the room and shut up.

Father Runs Ele,ntor

Congressman WickerSham, des- pite this diversion of Congressional salaries, is too thrifty to support his 72-year- father, Frank Wick ersham, but got him a job instead running an elevator for the con- struction workers in the Capitol Building. Previously, the elder MT. Wickersham had been on the go-- ernment payroll for seven years as a watchman at the Library of Congress.
 During the war, the Oklahoma Congressman also ran used-car lot on the rent-free, tax-free Con- gressional parking lot. He sold cars to at least 12 other Congressmen and helped automobile dealers from home to find scarce cars. Betweei sales, Wichersham kept his auto mobiles on the Congressional park ing lot.

unconquerable Satan get them into
trouble.
8. Intoxicating liquor is one OF
Satan's short cuts and with this,
youth and old age come to terrible
ruts.
8. With just this alone he can
level them to the ground and dares
them to lift their heads, much less
strive for an eternal crown.
10. With all the forces of evil,
more than a thousand to one, and
Satan the captain, pulling men
down; a share in Gods eternal King
dom is the only investment really
sound
II. Kinkdoms and nations haye
come and gone, but only those that

and the strong.

God is the Lord, and the hearts of
whose people are in loving peace
and accord.
