- Description:
- Mrs. Charles E. Graham wrote to Representative George B. Schwabe expressing her concerns about the Old Age pension system and the snoopers who cut benefits for elderly people. She asked for his help in supporting a bill that would provide justice for the elderly. Representative Schwabe responded, stating his opposition to the snoopers and his belief that only citizenship and age qualifications should be required for the pension. He mentioned signing a petition to bring the bill to the House for a vote and expressed his frustration with the New Deal crowd's control over Congress. Mrs. Graham emphasized the need for a better system for the elderly and asked for assistance, as she was unable to work and in need of help.
