EARLY HISTORY OF FRANKING Next time you get a letter from your Congressman or any branch of the Government, it might be well to know that this right of free mail goes back to 1775 when the Continental Congress resolved “That all letters to and from the delegates of the United Colonies, during the sessions of Congress, pass and be carried free of postage, the . members being engaged upon their honor not to framk or en- close any letters but their own.” ‘This privilege was extended to some other branches of the early .ucrican government of the De- partments of Finance, of War, and of Foreign Affairs, and members of Congress “while actually attending Congress.” The franking privileze today has been stretched a long way since then. In fact Post Office author- ities compare today’s indiscriménate farming out of Congressional franks to a similar situation in 1867 when Postmaster General Randall de- manded that the franking privilege be withdrawn from Congress. Re- porting to President Andrew John son, he said: “I am compelled again to call attention to the gross frauds per- petrated upon the Department by the violation of the franking priv- flege in almost all parts of the country. The facsmile franks of different members of Congress are freely used to circulate obscene beoks and papers, lottery circulars, business cards, and to cover all kinds of business and domestic correspondence Of persons not au- thorized by law to frank mailable matter.” As a result the franking privilege for Congressmen was abolished in 1873, then reinstated in 1875, and broadened again in 1906—though at all times it has provided that a Congressman can circulate from | the Congressional Record that por- tion of it written by himself. WISE MEN OF ZION Despite the very clear wording of the law, the franked envelopes of Congressman Ham Fish have turned up containing an advertise- ment of the Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion, and damning the Jews. Unquestionably Ham Fish did not write this anti-Semitic literature or even mail it. But his franked envelopes were farmed out somehow or other for this purpose. Again, Senator Nye's frank has been used to circulate a speech by Theo H. Hoffmann, National| Chairman of the Steuben Society| of America. Nye got around the provision that the speech must be| written by -himself, by inserting! Hoffmann's speech in the Congress- ional Record. Again, when Senator Wheeler sent out his much publicized post- | card regarding war, which found| its way into the army camps, he simply turned his frank over to the America First Committee. They used $10,000 worth of postage. Yet the law of 1806 is clear that. it is “un- lawful to lend said frank or permit its use by any committee, organiza- tion or association.” Again, at a meeting addressed by Donald Shea of the National Gen- tile League, envelopes bearing the frank of Senator Wheeler were dis- tributed in the audience and listen- ers were urged to address and mail them-—postage free. And in Los Angeles last summer a meeting“was held in Dr. Richter's Health Cafeteria to organize pickets against Wendell Willkie when he came to speak at the Hollywood Bowl. Those who attended the Richter meeting - were given the, [ !franked envelopes of Congressman British. All the audience had to do was address the envelope and send it—postage free—to anyone. Prize viblator of the franking privilege, however, was the late Senator Lundeen, whose speeches were written by George Sylvester Viereck, a paid agent of Germany, land who then turned over his Congressional frank to have the | speeches mailed all over the country —postage free. No wonder even placid Postmaster | General Frank Walker is getting stirred up as to whether he should do something about the franking !prxvilege, For he has the power— |and no one can question it—to re- | fuse mail from any Congressman |suspected of violating the law. | So far the worried Mr. Walker | has not used it. !

But one thing mystified the North- erners. This was that their South- ern hosts ate the chicken with their fingers.
