Washington News Letter
By Congressman Ed Gossett
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 16.
—Tke n*w liberalised DP Act hms
now become lew. The bill passed
in the laet Congress would hare
admitted SOB thousand DP's. This
law aspires on June 80. The new
law permits the admission of 341
thousand so-called DP’s. I object-
ed to many features of the old
Mt," and voted against the new
one. However, the new bill doe«
have some improvements over the
old. It permits among the 341
thousand to be admitted, the ad-
mission of 64 thousand German
'‘expellees.” It has always been
my contention that the German
"expelles” were of better stock
than were most of the so-called
DPs who haave been cared for in
pur DP camps since 1946 and 1946.
The Immigration Committee to-
day started hearings on a number
of bills to increase! the Italian
quota. A half-dosen Congressmen
from districts in which the Italisn
vote is large ate urging such leg-
islation. I shall certainly pppose
further liberalizing or increasing
of immigration into this country.
For the past week Washington
has been afflicted by a milk strika.
Nine big dairies in the so-called
“Washington Milk Shed” have a
complete monopoly on supplying
milk to the one and one half mil-

lion persons who live m the metro-

one can get milk without a doc-
tor's certificate During the last
ten years we have paid a Wash-
ington dairy more than $2,500 for
milk. What we may be forced to
pay after the strike is over is
anyone’s guess.
The Political Action Commit-
tee of the CIO (CIO-PAC) is hav-
ing a big national rally in Wash-
ington today. They are discussing
ways and means of defeating Con-
gressmen who have so-called bad
labor records. Anyone who voted
fof the Taft-Hartley Bill, for ex-
ample, has a bad labor record, re-
gardless of other considerations.
Following the day’s rally, those at-
tending will hove a party on the
south lawn of the White House.
Mr. Sam Rayburn, Speaker of
•the House of Representatives, this
week assured me that we would
get a vote on the so-called Lodge-
Gossett Amendment before the ad-
journment of Congress. This
amendment has been passed in the
Senate, and it is my hope that
we will be able to get the neces-
sary two-thirds vote in the House.
The Legislative Reference Serv-
ice of the Library of Congress has
this week furnished me with some
very interesting figures on tha
monetary costs of our major wars.
Three major items go into the
computation of these costs. One
column shows expenditures by the
Army and Navy during the fiscal
years of said wars. A second col-
umn shows the interest on debts
incurred during the life of such
'debts, or down to June 30, 1949.
The third item computed is vet-
erans pensions, compensation, re-
adjustment and rehabilitation
costs down to June 30, 1949. These
figures for seven major conflicts

Cleaning Chores
The present day homemaker
can do the house cleaning choree
easier and with less elbow grease
than in years past because science
has come to the rescue. High on
the list of modern aids to the job
of house cleaning are the deter-
gents. These detergents dissolve
soil, especially greasy soil, and
they do H more rapidly and effec-
tively .than soap and water, says
Miss Lacile King, H. D. sagent.
She reports that recent tests
conducted by the New York Ex-
periment Station have dug deep
into the merits of the detergent*
for household cleaning jobs and
their findings should prove to be
time and labor savers for home-
makers across the nation.
Miss King suggests that when
you wash walls, woodwork and
other painted surfaces with one
of the new cleaners or shampoo
upholstery and rugs, that you try
gentte handling instead of using so
much energy rubbing and scrub-
bing. It will save wear on you as
well a* on the fabrics and finishes.
When finishes and fabrics are;
softened and moistened with alka-
line cleaners or other detergents!

scrubbing may cause unnecessary
wear.
8be says generally four steps
are recommended when cleaning
with Water. Remove loose dirt by
advance brushing or vscuum clean-
ing; apply the detergent solution
to the surface rapidly, and use aa
little of the detergent as possible
to prevent soaking upholstery or
dripping down painted surfaces;
remove the detergent by going
over the surface rapidly with *
sponge or absorbent cloth wrung
out of water add* dry quickly by
tubbing lightly with a towel.
Directions that come with some
of the wall cleaners do not sug-
gets rinsing. She says this is prob-
ably because manufacturers have
found that small amounts of deter-
gents left on the wall surface will
do less damage than too much rub-
bing when the surface is wet.
She eays avoid scouring walls,
woodwork and all finished sur-
faces. The good cleaning materials
that are available today make
scouring unnecessary, even for
roiled paint. Strong alkaline sub-
rtances, such u washing soda or
ammonia, should not bo used for
they are hard on paint—they dry
it And in time may make it flake
ofjt—and they may affect the color.
' In cohclusion, Miss King says
.that regardless of the cleaner
used, all directions should be fol-
lowed carefully. Many tests have
heeen made wit,h the various ma-
terials offered on the market and
•the recommendations offered by
the manufacturer should be fol-
lowed if you expect to get the best
results from the product used. .

World War II, figured down’ to
June 30, 1949 only, has already
cost us more than $408 million.
By end of this century World War
II will have cost us at least $600
billion. AU tha other costa of all
the ether wars combined pale Into
metgmraomw when compared to
this gigantic figure. Monetary
costs, of course, are not as great
as the loss of life and the disabil-
ity, disease and suffering that fol-
lows. Wars kill off the best, not
the worst.

But after that what? Must you still

Not, good sir, when you’re at a
Buick’s wheel.
"You step on the throttle, move easily,
swiftly forward. Your wheels dance
—your tires drum-roll over rail and
plank.
But four gentle coil springs, one on
each wheel, are working their magic
—and you hear rather than feel the
rough spot you have crossed.
'That, of course, is only one kind of
rough going you can meet in your
11
travels. It’s only one kind of disoom-
fort your Buick’s built to master.
For beside gentle coil springing,
every Buick rides on soft, low-pres-
sure tires. Every one is steadied by a
rigid torqUc-tube. Every one boasts
a rigid, weaveproof frame-soft, sure
shock absorbers—even special engine
mountings to minimize vibration.

Come climb into a Buick and see

get a style-thrill and a power-thrill

last excuse for not traveling in the
Buick manner! i
