the Huuse this week, just about as
reported by the Appropriation Com-
mittee. The amount is considerably
ess than requested by the Depart-
ment.
My committee (Post Office and
L'ivi] Service) reported another bill
iavorably, which was taken up by
the House yesterday. It is a bill
which will take away from high
government officials the right,
when they go out of office, to draw
large sums of money claimed for
unused vacation time.
The Administration is asking for
the creation of quite a number of
new high paying positions, which
1 have not thought necessary, but
if they are established, our bill
stands to save the government an
even greater amount of money.
The law which permitted those
officers to collect such money was
passed several years ago, and has
caused the needless expenditure of
several miU'on dollars by our gov-
ernment. The House passed the
bill correcting that situation, and it
now goes to the Senate for its ac-
tion.
My Committee did not meet to-
day because of the death of one of
our members, Congressman Garrett
I Withers of Kentucky, who was a
former United States Senator.
This morning I was admitted to
practice before the United States
I Supreme Court. Hon. C. W. Ken-
j nedy, of Crockett, was here and
, he and I were admitted together.
The Supreme Court building is
It is entirely possible that the
House will accept the Senate bill in
order to eliminate the chance of the
bill again getting up in the Senate.
If so, it should shortly become law.
This week the House considered
[and passed the bill making ap-
propriations for the Departments of
State, Commerce and Justice. For
the three departments considered,
together, there was a decrease from
last year's spending, but the amount
allowed to the Department of
Justice and to the Federal Bureau
of Investigation was increased.
The fact that I am a Democrat
in a Republican administration has
not taken away the privilege of
designating candidates, to which our
Congressional District is entitled, for
appointment to the United States
Military and Naval Academies at
West Point and Annapolis.
On July 13. the Civil Service Com-
mission will conduct designation ex-
aminations for candidates, the re-
sults to be used in connection with
filling possible vacancies in 1954 in
the two Academies. These tests will
be purely preliminary and will not
take the place of physical tests and
entrance examinations.
I am giving this information, be-
cause you may know someone in our
Congressional District who would
want to take the examination.
I will have to have the name and
address, not later than June I, 1953.

J. C. Copeland Chosen
New Leading Chief
Of VU-3K
The following clipping was
brought to the Herald office this
week. John C. Copeland is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Copeland of
Alto and the item will be read with
interest by their many Alto friends:
John C. Copeland. having been
with Utility Squadron Three for the
past twenty months, was recently
chosen to reign as Leading Chief. He
is heading this all important middle-
most position vacated by H. J.
Tucker, ADC. who departed to join
the West Pac Drone Unit in Japan.
Chief Copeland has a long and com-
mendalc record dating back to the
time of his enlistment at Houston,
Texas in 1941.
Upon completing his basic train-
ing at NTC San Diego, Copeland re-
ceived the opportunity to attend
Aviation Machinists Mate School,
then conducted at North Island.
After graduating from AD school, he
was then assigned duty at NAS
Pensacola, Florida. From there he
went to Norfolk, Virginia, then to
CASU 12 in the South Pacific, and
last but not least to "The Pleasure
Playground of the World," Guam.
Having completed the required a-
mount of overseas duty Chief
"Smiley" Copeland was then assign-
ed shore duty at Corpus Christi,
Texas. It was from Corpus Christi
that he came to VU-3.
Before coming to VU-3 (K) he
had many unique jobs which did not
pertain to his rate. He was a diver
with UDT while at Pensacola, held
the office of brig warden at Corpus
Christi. and for a time acted as a
motorcycle cop, at Corpus Christi.
Married and the father of four
door-slammers. two boys and two
girls, Chief Copeland now resides in
Chula Vista. His aspirations for the
future are to make a career in the
Navy.

or her profession.
