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.
