for city folk so they can buy
more milk.
Il am not critical. just ad-
rnire his ability, but that is no
reason to add this $4 million to
this bill.
mot only do they, the people
of the city and District, have
that payroll from sums contrib
uted by everyone in the country.
but they have these hundreds of
thousands of visitors who come
here and leave their dollars
more than a few in number.
They charge our visitors
plenty. That money all goes into
the District here. Not only that.
but when a schcolboy comes
down from Michigan these local
boys beat him up and he is sent
to the hospital. Of course that
is exceptional, gross exaggera-
ton of what some seem to feel
toward Congressmen when we do
not follow their wishes. Now I
get from the papers that the
authorities intend to let the boys
off on a charge of simple assault
and battery, although they admit
facts which show they are
thieves or robbers and towards.
They might well be taken into
the woodshed. That is the WASH
ington way.
why. with all those blessings
which come to the people who
live here, with the valuation Of
the real estate as has been
shown here by speaker after
speaker. the valuation Of the
real estate down all the time as
compared with the valuation of
real estate back home. we should
go ahead and give them more
and more money every year, I
cannot understand"

Representative Gavin, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania, during
the debate on the manpOwer re-
serve bill:
'Now let me say word in the
short time allotted on behalf of
Army sergeants. The sergeant
works hard for his rank. He puts
in long hours. He is charged
with many responsibilities. He
takes his work seriously. He is
highly regarded. He is the man
who trains the troops and he is
the man who leads the troops
and he is the man who builds up
and holds up their morale under
combat conditions. He is the
man who builds up the esprit de
corps. He is always on the alert
80 let me say to the Mem
bers, he is a highly respected
member of the military group,
as he is the man charged with
getting things done and objec-
tives reached. so l feel that some
word should be said on behalf of
him. I just want to say that I
am mighty proud to have held
the rank of sergeant. I never
had any further military am
bitions after I reached the rank
of sergeant.
II am mighty proud Of the
sergeants. They turn in an out
standing performance of which
they can be proud. They really
need no defense from me; they
can take care of themselves"
Representative Mason, Repub-
lican of Illinois during the same
discussion referring to aspects
of the Reserves bill which he
said meant UNIT in disguise:
mfr. Chairman, this proposal
before us has been designated
as the same lady we have been
asked to embrace several times
in the last Is years, only the
lady wears a different kimono
today.
II do not care for that parallel
or simile. l say that this is the
same disreputable. obnoxious
wench we have been asked to
embrace many. times in the last
IL years only that wench has
been clothed with silk habili-
ments and if she were examined
closely you would find that she
probably was wearing falsies to
make her more glamorous and
give her more sex appeal. AS for
me, l am against embracing that
kind of a wench."
