iCONGRESSl
$ KARL STEFAN
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Richard, Jr.,
of Fremont have been in Wash
ington for several days. Mr. Rich
ards was a delegate to the Nation
al convention of City Attorneys
which was held here. The city at_
torneys from all parts of the
county were here. Addresses
were delivered by many promin
ent officials.
On the day the Japanese attack
ed the Philippine Islands and the
Hawaiian Islands, a letter was re
ceived in the Third District office
from Charles Cotterman who is a
former Albion, Nebraska, man
and who has lived in Manila for
over forty years. The letter was
dated December 1 and had come
by Clipper which probably passed
over part of the route taken by
the Japanese invaders. In this let.
ter Mr. Cotterman wrote partly as
follows: “Washington is spending
many millions here for defense.
I still do not expect war with Jap
an but really wish it would come
so the matter could be settled for!
many years.’’
Ralph Olson of Newman Grove
has filed his application for rank
of Lieutentant, Junior Grade, with
the Naval Reserve. Mr. Olson is
now living at Takoma Park,1
Maryland, which is located just
across the District of Columbia
line.
Although diplomatic efforts to
reach agreement with Japan had
failed and the President had sent
a last minute appeal to the Jap
anese Emperor, it was fairly well
understood in Washington that a
break with Japan must come. An
undeclared naval war was the
best guess. But no one in high
authority is believed to have had
even a remote idea that the Jap
anese would make an attack on
Pearl Harbor. This treacherous
act made at time when the Jap
nese diplomatic representatives
were still talking to our Secretary
of State stunned people here. The
first report was not believed by |
many people. But as reports came
in confirming these reports, the |
nation’s capitol became a center of
confusion and there was much ex
citement. Thousands of people sur- j
rounded the White House and
, hundreds thronged around the
Japanese Embassy to watch the
; employees burn up the secret
code books and other papers.
The scenes in the House were
Joe W. Leedom of Gordon, ri^ht, president of the Nebraska
Association of County Commissioners and Supervisors, introduces
Charles E. Sandall, state director of the Nebraska BrewerB and Beer
Distributors Committee, who addressed the 47th annual association
meeting in Omaha. Mr. Sandall Bpoke about the Committee’s program
of co-operation with county boards and law enforcement officials. He
said the Nebraska liquor control system is one of the nation’s best, j
unusual when the war resolution
was passed. The heads of our en
tire government were present as
the President delivered his brief
message. All animosities w'ere
thrown to the winds in the great
est display of unanimity ever wit.
nessed in the historic chamber.
So far as the peoples’ represent
atives were concerned, they
melted into a unit behind the Ad.
ministration to fight and work to
save and protect this great re
public. There was no laughter and
there were no jokes. It was the
most serious session ever witness,
ed. Members of both bodies re
flected the stunned and worried
attitude of the thousands who
crowded outside the capital
building trying to learn what
was going on inside. Many turn
ed their faces to get a glimpse of
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the widow
of the first World War President
and also at Mrs. Franklin Roose
velt, wife of the President who is
the Commander-in-Chief of our
Army and Navy upon which we
depend to save this nation and
win another war against a treach
erous enemy.
There was only one “NO” vote
in the House. That came from a
little silver-haired woman from
Montana—Miss Jeanette Rankin
—who had also voted ‘‘NO” in
1917. To her colleagues who asked
her why she merely replied: "That
is my conviction, I just can’t vote
for war. They wouldn’t let me
talk.’’ She had stood up several
times during the short speaking
period. She was not recognized.
What she would have said is not
known.
This Congress, since July 1, 1940
has made available for national
defense a total of 68 billion dol
lars. Additional appropriations
for national defense are sche
duled. The total is expected to
over one- hundred billon.

Christmas, Soo!
LAST YEAR, WHEN AMERICA
WAS AT PEACE, 12 times as
many long distance calls were
made to many points on Christmas
Eve and on Christmas as on an
average business day — many calls
were delayed and some did not get
through at all.
THIS YEAR. WITH THE NATION AT WAR. the
situation will be much worse unless a great many
people refrain from making long distance calls at
Christmas time.
TO KEEP TELEPHONE LINES OPEN for military
operations and other defense activities, it will help if
everyone who possibly can will make their long
distance calls at other times than Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day.
