ONE $1.50 PER ANNUM The NEW CONGRESS By L. W. (H(^P) FRANKLIN Now that the Republicans have taken over in Washington, how will the 80th Congress shape up? As everone knows the Demo crats will lose the advantage of leading the various committees and will also lose all patronage. There are some 29 committees in the House but the most important are ways and means, rules, appro priations and foreign affairs. On the ways and means commit tee the' Republican Knudson of Minnesota will replace that old stand-by Bob Daughton, of North Carolina, a man in his late seven ties, who came to work rain, sleet or snow every morning around 6:30 and could be seen in his office as late as 11 p. m. They will find some way to levy taxes to meet the cost of carrying on and here Mr. Knudson says there must be a start in saving. The appropriations committee now headed by Mr. Cannon, of Missouri will find Mr. Taber of New York at the head, and they say just how much each depart ment can have for the year. Mr. Taber, after four years of yelling that too much money was being spent, will have his chance to save that nine billions he has been talk ing about. Mr. Sabbath, of Chicago, a man now 80 years old with 40 years in the congress, will step aside for Mr. Brown, of Ohio, a rip-snorter on the floor. And look for labor to have a tremendous fight as lots of labor opposition has come from the Republican side the past two years. On the foreign affairs committee which deals with all our foreign set-ups, Mr. Sol Bloom of New York, will be second to Mr. Eaton of Pennsylvania, an elderly man with lots of experience and ability. He may be expected to trim some of the foreign hand-outs or perhaps stop them all together. Where Mr. McCormick of Mass- achussetts, led the Democrats on the floor with administration bills, it is my guess he will be succeeded by Mr. Everett Dicksen of Illinois. Dicksen is one of the smartest men in congress. He has shown a con- sidert te side for much of the New Deal lay-out. The fun will be in watching the Communist Marcantino, a so-called labor man from New York, now that most of his followers have been left at home, and Rep. John Rankin of Mississippi, the fire-ball who could always get enough Re publicans to go along with him for most anything he went after. Then, too, there is Mr. Smith, of Virginia, another labor hater who was co author of the Smith-Connally bill, who may pick up some Republican help. Where the Democrats had six ladies, only Mrs. 'Douglas, of Cali fornia will wear the dresses on the minority side, while all six ladies of the Republican side will be back. And Miss Jessie Summers, of Ohio, will furnish more fire works than we have at Christmas. Another story soon on how they look, and what the South can ex pect. O, yes, the next speaker of the House, Hon. Joe Martin, a bachelor from Massachusetts succeeds an other bachelor from Texas, Hon. Sam Rayburn. About the only dif ference in them is that Martin has coal black hair while Rayburn has a billiard ball head. KEITH AULL TRANSFERRED TO ATLANTA OFFICE Keith R. Aull who has been em ployed in the position of Supervi sor of Reports and Analysis in the state office of the United States Employment Service, Columbia, has been transferred to the Regional offit j at Atlanta, Ga., to assume the duties of Chief of Reports and Analysis for Region VII whicn comprises the six southeastern states. As South Carolina is in this group Mr. Aull’s duties will re quire him to visit the state admini strative office in Columbia ; fre quently. Mr. Aull is a native of South Carolina being ofig'iinally from Pomaria. He is a graduate of the College of Charleston and took up special studies at Clemson College and the University of California at Los Angeles. He entered the Naval services in October 1943, having been commissioned as Lieutenant, Junior Grade. Upon his discharge in early 1946 he returned to the United States Employment Service as Supervisor of Reports and Ana- Ij is, the position he held prior to entering the armed services. Mr. Aull will leave Columbia im mediately to take up the duties of his new office. His family will re main in Columbia for the present. Rev. Calcote Going To Alabama Field Rev. C. A. Calcote, pastor of Aveleigh Presbyterian church for the past 15 years, has resigned from the church here to become Superitendent of Home Missions in the Birmingham (Alabama) Presbytery, with residence at 2031 Highland avenue. His office will be in the First Presbyterian church of Birmingham. Rev. Calcote enters upon his duties in the Alabama Mission field with a wealth of experience gain ed during his work here. He found ed five new church or Sunday school units during his pastorate here. They are Little River, Beth any, Queens, Helena, and McCul lough. The membership of Ave leigh church grew from 170 to 400 members under Rev. Calcote’s guid ance and a large debt on the church has also been paid off. Rev. Calcote has, since first com ing to Newberry, been very active in many civic and charitable un dertakings. He is an affable per son who makes friends readily and many will regret that he and his family are leaving the county. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE RETURNED TO STATE The Employment Service offices in South Carolina, were returned to the State on November 16, and again becomes a division of the South Carolina Employment Se curity Commission, Jas. Julien Bush, executive director, announc ed a few days ago. The employment service yas op erated as a division of the Commis sion until January 1, 1942, when, by agreement, the entire state system of offices was turned over to the Federal government to become a part of the U. S. Employment Serv ice. On July 26 of this year Con gress passed an act returning the service back to the state. Mr. Bush said that under the Federal Service Act as passed the state will take back .all employes of the Employment service who were on the payroll of the federal service as of July 26 or this year, the date that the law was enacted. Emplayes on the payroll July 26 who have not already qualified for their jobs will be given an oppor tunity to qualify on the basis of competitive merit examinatons.
