WASHINGTON NEWSLETTER: CONGRESS BEGINS WORK
Rogers Describes State of Union
Message by President Eisenhower
The First Session of the 84th
Congress of the United States of
America convened at 12:00 noon
wa the 5th day of January, 1955.
The House was called to order
y the Clerk, and the prayer
was offered by the Reverend
Bernard Braskamp, Chaplain.
Hie Honorable Sam Rayburn, of
Texas, was elected Speaker over
the Honorable Joseph W. Martin,
«f Massachusetts, by a vote of
S6 to 198, with two members
voting "present" (being the nom-
Snoos, Rayburn and Martin).
Other business was attended
«o, and the House then proceed-
ed to eulogize the Honorable
Bwight D. Rogers, a member
trom Florida who passed away
can December 1, 1954. Dwight was
a wonderful fellow, and al-
though we were never able to
work out a blood relationship,
. were very good friends. His
loss to the nation will be sorely
ielt.
On January 6th. the House
convened in Joint session with
the Senate to receive the State
of the Union message of the
President of the United States.
Shortly before the President
entered the Chamber, Mrs. Ei-
senhower was escorted into the
Presidential box, which is
about midway in the west gal-
lery. She was very gracious, as
usual, and received a tremen-
dous ovation.
The President entered the
•Chamber at 12:30 and proceeded
the rostrum, immediately in
front of the Speaker's desk, and
-delivered his State of the Union
Message. It was almost a record
breaker in length, and necessar-
ily should have been. Before get-
ting into the speech, the Presi-
dent. took time to extend his best
wishes to the Honorable Sam
Rayburn on his 73rd birthday.
This action received the ap-
plause of all, both in the gal-
tery and on the floor.
The State of the Union Mes-
sage was not unusual, as State
the Union Messages go. Like
Tfte proverbial Mother Hubbard,
.it covered everything and touch-
id nothing. We are all looking
iarward with great interest to
detailed proposals on the
*.*eral items that are of pri-
*\ary concern to the entire world.
The number one item is un-
questionably the defense of
«his country. A close second,
mi probably an integral part
•f an overall defense program,
a. the position this country
«ill take concerning world
ftctde.
"Eie President referred to this
at length in his State of the Un-
ion Message, and you wiU hear
«nwh of it later on. The proper
.handling of the trade problem
could nnquestionably go a long
way in the prevention of hostil-
yix in the world. It is some-
ttlng that is highly explosive
and its delicate mechanism must
he handled with the utmost cau-
•toa. An impractical approach
«Mid very easily result in great
■employment, tragedy, and
Baidship in this country. The
atejad&rd of living that we have
could very easily be
have sufficient goods with
which to traffic. We cannot
and could not compete on an
open world market with the
products of slave labor or
semi-slave labor.
How this trade problem is to
be attacked during this session
is not entirely clear. But it ap-
pears that the President expects
to use foreign aid as one of the
tools. This is indicated by the
following statement in his mes-
sage: "We must facilitate the
flow of capital and continue
technical assistance, both direct-
ly and through the United Na-
tions, to less developed countries
to strengthen their independence
and raise their living standards."
The President's statement,
"Greater attention must be di-
rected to the needs of low-in-
come farm families," would lead
one to believe that the adminis
tration wants to re-create and to
preserve the family-sized farm,
yet while such statements are
being made, actual policies are
in operation that have, in my
opinion, severely damaged fam-
ily-sized farms and have contrib-
uted measurably to the tremen-
dous decrease in the farm popu-
lation of this country.
Reference was also made to
the plight of small business en-
terprises. Yet, an examination
will reflect that the Small Busi-
ness Administration has been
able to do very little in assisting
truly small business. The steady
decrease in farm income has had
a tragic effect on small business,
and many small enterprises
have been hanging on by their
teeth, hoping to weather the
storm. Whether or not they are
successful will depend upon the
availability of capital to tide
them over or an increase in the
purchasing power of their cus-
tomers. Neither is present now.
I feel that this Congress will
provide both.
I shall report to you further as
the several messages are forth-
coming.
VISITORS: We had most pleas-
ant visits this week with Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas S. Jones, of Cana-
dian. They have been in New
York visiting their son, who is
stationed at Fort Monmouth, and
are now spending a few days in
the Capital.

IM WHERE I AM!
Kittens turn up in the oddest places. It's
no wonder—for a kitten will try anything
once. And sooner or later curiosity kills many
a cat!
Some people have a penchant for trying
anything once. Occasionally it leads them to
the pinnacles of success. More often it leaves
them in the depths of despair.
Neither curiosity nor daring is the highroad
to happiness. Life's richest rewards are for
those who choose paths tried and true . . .
who seek goals which the greatest were bold
to attain.
No surer paths have ever been trod than
the "paths of righteousness" of which the
Psalmist spoke. No higher goals were ever
achieved than those Jesus Christ made his
own.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL...
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on earth for
the building of character and good citizenship.
It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a
strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization
can survive. There are four sound reasons why
every person should attend services regularly
and support the Church. They are: (1) For his
own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the
sake of his community and nation. (4) For the
sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral
and material support Plan to go to church regu-
larly and read your Bible daily.
