Mrs. Oxford sent a postcard to Mr. Schwabe endorsing the "Merchant Seamen's War Service Act." Mr. Schwabe received the postcard and is studying the bill. He acknowledges the important service of the Merchant Marine but questions the differences in benefits compared to the G.I. Bill of Rights for soldiers and sailors. He promises to consider the bill fairly and use his influence in the right direction. Mrs. Oxford, as a mother of a merchant marine son, strongly supports the bill and urges Mr. Schwabe to actively support it as well.
