Sylvia went to the Executive Board Meeting the night before and she is now the Educational Chairman. While in Washington D.C. representatives of Community CIO Council met with the president [FDR] who discussed prices and rationing with them and said he needed their help in persuading Congress. She talked about a sailor who had come to see Congress in session when they were debating the Anti-Poll Tax Bill and had shouted that he was fighting to save democracy. The papers printed what he said, not what the Southerners in Congress said.
