Speaker Ray burn .and Majority Leader McCormack, Twa Most Powerful and Highest Ranking Officials in House of Representatives, Consider 1st District Representative Among The Outstanding New Congressmen; Letters To First District Men Made Public. By TOM SPENCER Of the many letters of tribute to Congressman Herbert C. Bonner that have been received by him during thia campaign for re-election to Congress, none may give him more delight or pri<je than two letters that have been sent him thia week by friends of bis in the district These two letters are from the two most powerful men in the House of Representatives, one from Speaker Sam Rayburn, of Texas, often considered the most powerful man in Congress, and the other is from John W, MeCormack, of Massachusetts, Majority Leader. Both of these letters, written in answer to letters of inquiry from the First District, give a strong picture of what these two prominent national figures think of the present Congressman, who is being assailed in the campaign by opponents who would replace him with a new man. Elder A. B. Ayers of Bear Grass, Martin County, prominent Baptist leader, and Sheriff Victor Meekins of Dare County, heard this talk and each one, writing at his own accord, asked for the straight stuff from Washington, D. C. Elder Ayres was prompted to write Speaker Ray burn, because the genial Texan is a member of his own church organization, and it is the Speaker of the House who names the various Congressmen to Committees which wield great influence and power. It is generally known that Congressmen with long service, get higher committee assignments than do newcomers. Speaker Rayburn wrote Elder in part: "As you know, Herbert Bonner was the secretary and right hand man of Lindsay Warren, for several years here, in which position he learned the ins and outs of all the Government departments and Congressional duties. Since Mr. Bonner became a member of the House, he has so proved his ability, patriotism and knowledge that he is one of the outstanding new Members of the House and is personally popular with the membership." "Any Member of Congress who is industrious and intelligent becomes more effective and more useful not only to his country but to his immediate constituents the longer he is a Member." Majority Leader McCormack, in writing Sheriff Mekins, calls Mr. Bonner his "colleague and personal friend," refers to him as having long been one of the "most outstanding secretaries in Washington," and says this equipped him in admirable manna to succeed Mr. Warren. He says Mr. Bonner's service in Congress has bean "able and constructive . . . one of the most loyal supporters of the President," and of all measures passed for the security of the nation. He says there was "never any doubt about the position of Congressman Booster. We could always rely on him; he never failed us ... " "I consider him to be one of the most reliable, one of the soundest and one of the moat dependable mem• bera at the House," Mr. McCormack continues. "I might also say that this means a great deal in Congress, that he is one of the beat liked members of the house. I cannot impress upon you too strongly how mnch this means to a member . in obtaining benefits for his district and his people, bo which he feds they are entitled, because it means the assistance of members from other parts of the country in kis efforts. During these trying days, when the preservation of our nation is at sti&e, the country needs in the House of Representatives, nun of vision, men of courage, men of devotion, like Congressman Bonner." \ Air Observation Post For Week of May 25 WEEKLY SCHEDULE Night—8 P.

Eastern Military Arm Eastern Defense Commander Drum proclaimed all East Ooast states from Maine to Florida to be the Eastern military area—primarily to enforce effectively the dimout restrictions to safeguard shipping. The proclamation said the protection of United Nations commerce from enemy attack involved the effective control of artificial lighting along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts and for a "reasonable distance inland." The Armed Farces President Roosevelt said American forces are getting into the World fight more and more, and in new places all of the time.

Mrs. SOLDIER'S FOXHOLE DIVERSION-JPrivate Vincent Costante at Fort Benning, Georgia, models a sculptured likeness at the girl back home. Active service in the foxholes has so terrors for the United States Army soldier of 1949. Possessed of talent, ingenuity and a will to win, he finds divers*' jtk wherever he may be. It is an old American trait At Valley Forge after a dreary winter had passed the Continentals played a game which since has been evolved into baseball. Confederate cavalrymen with "Jeb" Stuart rode their best when they joined in rollicking song, and veterans of the old 156th Pennsylvania Infantry used to tell of their lively card games on the rocks of Little Bound Top during Pickett's charge at Gettysburg. Ifs the same indomitable spirit that so long has kept chins up over on Corregidor. William P. Hobby of the Army Bureau of Public Relations was named Director.
