Hello Lou.
Thank you for your letter re-
ceived this morning I was pleased
to hear from you. After so long I
was beginning to wonder whether
my name had been sent to America
or not. I am afraid I'm going to
disappoint you, and only hope you
will see my position and not think
too badly of me.
Since applying for an American
Guide pen pal, owing to my health
I have been forced to leave Guides
I think you would prefer to write
to a guide and one who is of your
age You see 1 am 18, a little bit
old for you, don't you think’ But
I am very willing if you wish it.
to pass your name and address
on to a Guide I know, of your age.
whom I am sure you will enjoy
writing to.
I am very fond of letter writing
and would like you if possible to

unsuspected action came on a mo- I

efforts to switch consideration of |
the resolution to the rales com-
mittee could be taken.
Generally the rules committee la
considered more friendly to pro-
labor forces who sought to kill the
resolution.
The measure sponsored by
Rep. Marshal! O Bell of San An-
tonio, It calls ppon congress not
to pass laws superseding or wip-
ing out state laws prohibiting the
closed shop and anti-dues check-
offs by unions. That means without
written consent of the ftnployea.
Labor Strength Surprising
Rep. Otis Lee of Port Arthur
challenged the resolution. He ask-
ed that it be considered by the
rules committee. Previously, it had I f

The house voted 66-61 in favor

may be considered. But the vote
was shy of the two-thirds majority
required to suspend the house rules
However, Lee promises to renew
the floor fight tomorrow.
