FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. Mar S. 1945 Letter From Washington ' Br HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member ot Congress From Oregon APPROPRIATIONS. Two ap propriation items of particular interest to the Fourth Congres sional district were approved by the house this week. One was the operating appropriation for the Bureau of Mines Electro Metallurgical Laboratory at Al bany. On Friday, the house passed the interior department appropriation bill which includ ed this item. The amount was substantially larger than the previous appropriation which will place the laboratory on a full scale operating basis during the coming fiscal year. The other item of interest, not only to my district but to the entire nation, was an increase in the forest products research funds in the agriculture appro priation bill. This appropriation has been the subject of a long argument. The house appropn-i ations committee refused to make the requested increase, whereupon the senate amended the bill to include the increase. The bill then came out of the senate-house conference with the research item in disagree ment. This placed the matter be fore the house for a final vote. Following quite a battle on the floor, the item was passed by a fairly close margin 168 to 143. The approval of this appropria tion means that the wood utiliza tion unit recently established in Portland to serve the Pacific northwest region will have al most twice as large an appropri ation as previously allotted. SHRINE OF LIBERTY. Two weeks ago, I spent two days to Philadelphia with a subcommit tee of the public lands commit tee We conducted a hearing on the bill Introduced by Represen tative Bradley of Pennsylvania "hich provides for setting aside Hark area -in the immediate virinity of Independence Square Our hearing was held to Old Congress Hall, which was com plZ in 1790 and which housed the congress from 1790 until 1800. The rostrum on which toe Subcommittee sat was i the same rostrum, from which George Washington gave hii farew.u 'independence Hall is the cen ter building of the group of three facing on the Chestnut street side of Independence Square. Independence Hall, you know, Is the home of the Liberty Bell, and it was in Independence Hall that the Declaration of In dependence and the Constitution were both signed. The constitu tional convention met In that hall. These buildings are the shrine of our independence and cf the formation of the govern ment of the United States, but with the passage of time, they have become swallowed up in the center of a great city. The city has, in fact, moved on so that the buildings which now crowd in upon the Independence Hall group are obsolete and some of them are fire-traps. The proposal is to acquire several blocks on the Chestnut street side of the square, remove the buildings, and provide a park to make a proper setting for our historic buildings. Following the hearings, the subcommittee went out to Val ley Forge which is only eighteen miles from Philadelphia, and spent several hours at General Washington's winter headquar ters and in going over the park. In the museum at Valley Forge, they have the original tent which George Washington used at Val ley Forge and the flag which flew over it. The flag, by the way, was not the stars and stripes of today, but was a simple blue field with thirteen stars on it. This flag, of course, was made before Betsy Ross designed the present flag. The stars on Washington's flag are six-pointed stars. It was Betsy Ross who devised a way of cutting out five-pointed stars with a simple twist of the scis sors. As we. were driving back to Philadelphia, the radio in the official car told us of the presi dent's death. All further activi ties of the committee were, of course, immediately cancelled. ACADEMY VACANCIES. Julyi 28th has been set by the United States civil service commission as the date on which prelimin ary qualifying examinations will be given for candidates for the United States Military and Na val Academies at West Point and Annapolis. Members of congress must have a list of those desiring to take the examination to sub mit to the commission by June 23rd. . I do not know yet how many vacancies I will have at the academies. We will not be noti fied until some time in June. All I can say Is that I believe there will be possibly two vacancies in each academy. I make this announcement now so that young men who are Interested in competing for an appointment may notify me as soon as possi ble. Candidates may compete for both academies on the same ex amination. For the military academy, candidates must have reached their eighteenth birth day before July, 1946, but must not have reached their twenty-1 second birthday. Naval academy candidates must have reached their seventeenth birthday by July, 1946, but not their twenty first birthday at that time. Young men in service are elig ible to compete, and arrange ments can be made in most in stances for their examination wherever they may be stationed. Those interested in trying for appointment should write me. giving their legal residence, which must be within the Fourth Congressional district, and the date of their birth. Other infor mation as to scholastic training and activities will be of interest. Appointments will be made on the basis of grades earned in the competitive examination. THE GRANGE Eagle Point Grange Members of Eagle Point Grange voted to build a fountain and plant a fir tree honoring sons and daughters of the mem bers who are in the service, at a regular meeting last night.
