Our Congressman's Week in Washington
Congressman Roe returned to his office last Monday the 12th fully recovered from a severe attack of ptomaine poisoning. He participated in hearings before the Select Committee on Small Business and pressed for OPA relief for retail automobile dealers seeking the same prewar discounts despite a 30 percent rise in operating costs. Hearings were well attended and may prompt congressional action amid perceived OPA rigidity. Several Eastern Shore interests were addressed with various Government Departments.

Understanding Oriental Peoples Needs Greater Western Effort
Dr Reuben Steinmeyer of Maryland University urged the Caroline County Older Youth Council to foster sympathetic understanding of Oriental problems and make concessions for lasting peace. He traced China and Japan’s histories, warned China would menace if strong, noted one third of the world’s population in China and India, and said Chiang Kai-shek would struggle to control China. He claimed Japan borrowed from China, originated only a 13 string instrument, and that Imperial University admissions were limited to nobility sons. Attendees included Francis M Rogers and Miss Bessie M Spafford. Miss Sarah Finn presided.
