![["Mrs. Henry Melton wrote to Congressman George B. Schwabe inquiring about the delay in passing a bill for the prompt release of fathers from the military. She expressed her concerns about fathers being held in service while others with children are being discharged. Mrs. Melton shared her personal experience of her husband serving in World War I and her son currently stationed in Tokyo, leaving his daughter wondering why he can't come home. She urged for the bill to be passed as soon as Congress reconvenes and suggested sending dissatisfied strikers overseas as replacements. Congressman Schwabe responded, explaining his efforts to push for the bill's passage but facing opposition from military authorities and the New Deal crowd. He expressed disappointment in not being able to get the measure through the House and assured Mrs. Melton of his consistent attempts to obtain releases for fathers from the service."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_6_52_0000-Servicemen,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_52_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Urgent Plea for the Release of Fathers from Service")

![["Congress is considering increasing pay for aged individuals through old-age assistance programs, with a focus on relief versus insurance. The current system of old-age insurance is contributory, with benefits dependent on wages earned during covered employment. However, the cost of living has outpaced the increase in benefits, making retirement difficult for many. Congress is leaning towards increasing relief payments rather than insurance benefits, raising concerns about the future of old-age insurance in the country. Additionally, changes in pricing policies, subsidies, and enforcement of price controls are also being implemented by Congress. Controls are set to end by June 30 of the following year, with a gradual removal based on supply and demand. Rent controls will continue, with distinctions made for different types of housing."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_7_3_0000-Socialized%20Medicine,%201946/CAC_CC_047_1_7_3_0000-Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_7_3_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Congressional Moves: Increasing Old-Age Relief vs. Stagnant Insurance Benefits")
