Organization of the 8evnty-8eventh { Congress , On January 1 and 2 members began , to pour Into Washington for tho seven- j . ty-aevonth congress. which will be one t of the moat momentous in the history , of this country if signs are not raU- , leading. Members did not get together for the first time this year with ^ the usual light-hear.tedi\ess. The war In Europe, danger of our involvement, ( and problems at home all made the atmosphere very serious, i My constituents of the Fifth Distrdt will probbaly bo interoatod in ( reading exactly how a new Congress , organises for business. On Thursday, the day before the ' formal opeulng of the House, the Democrats held their caucus and agreed on their candidates for all the ' different offices of the house. Speaker Rayburn; Democratic loader McCor- 1 mack; clerk, Trimble; and doorkeeper, Slnnott were all renominated, which assured re-election. According to Democratic caucus rules, the members of the caucus may bo bound to vote a certain way on a bill lf two-thirds vote in favor of being bound; however, a member may excuse himself if he has good and sufficient reasons, such as having committed himself to contrary position when seeking election cr on constiutional questions. The Republicans have a party conference instead of a caucus and their members cannot, be bound except pertaining to matters of party organization. On January 3 the house and senate were formally opened, ushering in the seventy-seventh congress. The Chaplain of each branch then lead it in prayer, asking for Divine Guidance in the trying times ahead. We need that guidance. The Democratic chairman then j plaoed in nomination the Democratic caucus ticket for election to House positions. The Republican chairman offered the ticket of that party. i All members voted a straight party ticket and therefore, of course, the Democratic ticket was elected. The House then adjourned until Monday the sixth, ... The two main objectives of the meeting on Monday were to capvass i electoral college votes for president and vice-president, as a result of the recent General Election, and to hear President Roosevelt's message on j "The State of the Union". In line with constitutional requirements, the | Senate and the House met in Joint session for three purposes. At the counting of the electoral votes, VicePresident Garner and Speaker Sam Rayburn of the House Jointly presided over the proceedings. The formal opening and counting of the votes was done by a committee of the House and Senate composed of one Republli can senator and one Democratic house member. After the formality of dbc.. daring Roosevelt and Wallace elected to the presidency and vice-presidency, respectively, was attended to, the Joint session recessed until 1:46 P. M. At that time, members of the cabinet, the supreme court, and the diplomatic corps, began to file into the chamber to hear the president's message, with German, Italian, and Japanese representatives notably missing. At exactly 2:00 the president was ushered into the house by a committee from the house and senate. The president looked much older and more serious than he did when he addressed Congress in 1933 and 1937. The President's Message The greater part of the message was taken up with denounciation of aggression by dictator nations and enunciation of the foreign policy of the United States for the next four years. The president emphasized the danger to this country and democracies elsewhere in the event the dictators secure domination of Europe, Africa, Asia, and the entire Eastern hemisphere. The president further reiterated his determination to help the democratic countries by all means vithln our power short of war. He \ itated that ho was not satisfied with h<> progress of our National JJofenso 'rogrom and urged full speed ahead, le did not go fully into tho plan to end and lease war materials to Engand, China, and Greece. Thia J vill come later. ' f Tho address w?h along the linos ox i >octo<l and in substance soeroed to be i' ipproved by a majority of both Demo- ! ratlc.wnd Republican homo and sen- | He members, The question worrying | noat meinbora is how far the United 1 State* can go in providing war materals for the democracies and, at the | Mime time, not become involved in ictual war ourselves. Only tho future 1 vill reveul the answer. As a matter of fact, Congress feels hat .there will be no strict party lines < >n the question of providing war materials for the democracies. There is 1 .livlplon of opinion as to steps to be taken to that end. The president teems to feel that ho has a mandate Prom the people of this country to help the democracies by all means abort of war. The Republicans can't take issue on this score because their candidate Wendell Willkle, was committed to do that same thing:. In cthnr words, both parties nominated a a man for the presidency who had already expressed his ideas along: that line and his indentions along; that line. All seem to agree that this policy enunciated by the president has been before the American people for almost a year now and their majority verdict whenever^they could express themselves has been lu favor of the policy. The Democratic party knew what Prseident Roosevelt's policy was when they nominated him at tire convention. Mr. Willkle was clearly committed to this policy before he was nominated by the Republicans. The people all knew when they elected Roosevelt. Congress Is now girding Itself to debate the queation and to make the momentous decision as to how far we will go. Members of congress could not help but he serious In the face of this great responsibility. 8chool Children's Questions Beginning In this Issue of my weekly news letter, I am going to Include one or two questions and answers on the subject of our government and Its functions. It occurred to me It might be Interesting to our school children, as I have received many Inquiries from them on this subject. Question: What is the National Government? Answer: The National government is divided Into three branches?the Legislative, the Executive and Judicial. It Is headed by the President, who is the chief of the Executive branch. The Judicial branch controlled by the Supreme Court la the third branch.
