lima, Albert Gore, of Tennessee and
Carl Vinson of Georgia.
At times, Mr.. Dawson even finds
himself and Representative Clair
E. Hoffman ranking Republican
member of the expenditures COM
mittee, in agreement.
Mr.. Dawson succeeded in getting
through the last session of Con-
greSS every major bill his commit
tee handled except one. The bill
which failed of passage was one
he introduced and in which he was
very much interested. It was the
bill to constitute the Federal Sc
curity Agency, a department of
Health, Education and Security.
The American Medical Association
was opposed to it chiefly because
Federal Security Administrator
Oscar Ewing had advocated ma
tional health program.
One of the most important pieces
of legislation Mr.. Dawson spon-
sored in the 81st Congress was the
bill to make possible President
Truman's program of reorganiza-
tion of Government agencies. Ev-
en- though Mr.. Truman had the re-
organization plans ready, they
could not have been accepted and
acted upon by the Congress with
out the enabling legislation which
Mr.. Dawson piloted through he
House.
In the program of reorganiza-
ton President Truman submitted
to the Congress, 35 plans of which
26 were approved. Because of Mr..
Dawson's leadership, the Admins
tration ran into less difficulty in
getting House approval of reorgan-
ization plans than it did in the
Senats where Senator John L. Nc
Clellan of Arkansas, is chairman
of the expenditures committee.
Among other important pieces of
legislation sponsored by Mr.. Daw-
son was the bill to create the Cen
eral Services Administration. This
law consolidated all housekeeping
functions of the Government, in
cluding warehousing, procurement,
sales, catalogues, record-keeping
and distribution of supplies into
one agency.
Of the twenty bills dealing with
governmental functions, which he
introduced, fourteen of them
passed.
He also introduced several civ

succeed to the committee chair
manship.
Only one Southern member, a
Texan, resigned from the commit
tee. Later, he wanted to return,
but Speaker Sam Rayburn, anoth-
er Texan, would not permit him
to do so.
Representative Henderson Lam
ham, Democrat, of Georgia, is a
member of Mr.. Dawson's commit
tee. In reporting on the activities
Of the committee, Mr.. Lanham, in
the closing days of the recent ses-
sion, told the House that the COM
mittee under the distinguished
leadership of its chairman, the
Honorable William A. Dawson, has
made a brilliant record of accom-
plishments for itself during the
first and present sessions of the
81st Congress.
'This committee, charged with
the grave responsibility of perfect
ing legislative measures reorganiz-
ing the executive branch of the
Federal government and other
fields has done its job WE'LL" Mr..
Lanham continued.
In the fact that Mr.. Lanham
submitted this report to the House,
instead of Mr.. Dawson, lies one of
the keys to Mr.. Dawson's success
as committee chairman. Oldest
Congressional observers say it is
almost unprecedented for a chair
man to permit report from his
committee to be submitted by any
member other than himself.
The opportunity he gives mem
bers of his committee to use their
initiative in handling matters also
accounts for the fact that members
like to serve on his committee.
His ability to get along with
other members is uncanny. He is
able to get support from members
of the House whose support it is
seriously doubted, under similar
circumstances, would be given to
any other member.
Two of his attributes account for
this. He is friendly to his collea-
CUES and his word is better than
hiSbond. If he makes a promise,
he will keep it.
And his support comes not only
from Northern Democrats, but
from Southern Democrats and Re-
publicanS as well. Among friends
from the South, he numbers Rep
resentatives Albert Thomas of Tex

son is reelected, he will set anoth-

colored Congressman, including
those of Reconstruction days, to
serve more than four terms. His
next term will be his fifth.

The Christmas Savings Club Cam
paign moves along nicely. It was
not expected that too big a showing
would be made between the Con-

KEEPING CALDWELL CLEAN

In recent years, Caldwell has been noted for its neat
appearance and the evident efforts of its property owners
to keep the community one of the best.
But judging from the appearance now of the business
section, we have been slipping.
1t was brought to our attention the other day that there
has been no apparent reason why the streets in the bust
ness section should be overlooking with mud, dirt and other
filth of winter, when we have a brand new fire truck to
flush the streets.
This citizen pointed out that it has been an extremely
"open" winter and there have been many days when the
streets could have been washed by the fire department.
Caldwell-on a Thursday afternoon-would be the ideal
time to accomplish this task. There is very little traffic
and hardly any cars on the public square or immediate side
streets.
Then, too, it would be an ideal time for the firemen, as
we all must remember they are volunteers and this public
project should be accomplished at their convenience.
The suggestion is worth looking into and we feel that
the fire department will arise to the occasion and in the
very near future, Caldwell will have its new look"
1t would be an ideal way to herald the arrival of spring,
which was ushered in at 11:36 P. M, Monday.

CHILD WELFARE

The first meeting of the Noble county committee on
children and youth will be held March % in CALDWELL It
is a committee whose responsibility and opportunity are
almost immeasurable.
Headed by Mrs. James Moscrip, this committee will work
IN cooperation with similar local committees throughout
the country in gathering facts and informations for the
White House conference on children and youth to be held
in Washington in December, 1850.
There are As million children under Is years of age in
the United States today. They are growing up in a world
which is undergoing greater physical and social change than
in any earlier period.
In many ways our services to children are not keeping
pace with their needs in this complex era. We see this
fact on all sides as we survey the delinquency, the lob
misfits, the victims of prejudice and discrimination, the
mentally and physically i'll.
Before we can solve such a tremendous problem, we
know that we must have more and better services, houses,
hospitals, health centerS, schools, Fairgrounds and other
facilities. We must have more and better teachers, doc
tors, nurses, social workers and other skilled workers. We
must have more parents who understand how children grow
physically, mentally, emotionally and in social responsibility.
But most of all, right now, we need a blueprint for fu-
ture building. This blueprint must be based on facts as they
are today. This blueprint will be prepared at the White
House conference.
But the actual success of this movement rests on the
vital work of the local committee. AS we see it, our own
local committee deserves every possible bit of support from
parents and from every person in Noble county, who is in
terested in the welfare of our children and the future of our
nation and our world.

man has advocated, would give
the same control over Congress
to the labor union officials which
they have i'm England and which
today they have over most of
our executive departments. 1t
would put into full effect the
anti business attitude which has
chOked industrial expansion in
Great Britain.
IN the field of social welfare, the
decision is not so clear because
the Conservatives do not propose to
abolish government medicine or
other service features of the hand
out state. One drawback with So
cialization of welfare service is that
it is very difficult to go back, in
the medical field, for instance, once
we have destroyed the private
charitable activities, the independ-
ent medical profession, and the
community activities which have
made health in the United States
better than in any other corre-
spending country. "All the Kings
horses and all the Kings men can't
put Humpty Dumpty together
again." The Conservatives prom
ised, however, to cut substantially
the cost of these welfare services,
On the whole, the vote a be
interpreted only as a reputation
of the British Labor Party's pro-
gram of specialization. Prime Min
lister Attlee has indicated that he
is going to slow up that program,
and Britain may abandon it alto
gether.
What is President Truman GO
ing to do? He has been following
the British down the socialist
road, and he has suddenly lost
his leader. Will he assume COM
mand of the world socialist move
ment, Or will he follow the Brit
ish back to ~solvency and free
dom?

/ Why can't l see a saucer? l keep

Why, in Caldwell, my cousin
Gerald has a dog that has seen
a flying saucer. 1t was quite a
shock to Colonel for he has been
skittery ever since. It left him
with the nervous habit of look
ing up.
AT OUR HOUSE, we have be-
lieved in discs ever since we read
that story in True magazine. It
convinced us. We think they are
space ships from another planet.

crossed to the question of how
we should react should one

course, l would rush to get the
first interview with the pilot.
Then l would hide him Cor she,

Mrs. Hayes wants us to beware
of any alien craft. Death rays or

anyone brave enough to ap-
proach it. This is her argument.
Speaking of danger to US earth

that the virus-X epidemic actual
ly is germ warfare being waged
by the invading Saucers. This
theory was new to me One in

ing into the counter-attack stage.
Let's rocket out of this world
and strike back. Maybe we could
toss a few lice, bedbuSs and ticks
on the home folks of those little
guys who are smart-alecking
around our skies.
Where to go Mars, Uranus or
the Moon? l think that can be
decided by the time we got our
rocket ready. A star named Wolf
$50 was mentioned in True as a
possible target for our rockets.
This star is only eight light years
away. 1t is estimated that a round
trip to Wolf $50 would require
80 years of the explorers time.
