United States Senate
Washington
July 7, 1939.
My Dear Mother:
Mildred is coming
tomorrow by motor
car. Mrs. Buel
is coming with her.
Yesterday I again succeeded
in getting the Senate to
agree to my farm mortgage
refinancing bill. It was
agreed to unanimously.
You can see a brief
discussion of it at page
12104.
Today we proceed with
the Block Booking bill which
aims to regulate strictly
the business of producing
and distributing to theatres
picture films- I feel
disqualified to vote
because of my interest
in the Maject and the
Flynn Theatres in Burlington
and in the Capital Theatre
in Montpelier. I shall
probably not vote on
the questions raised which
seem to affect my interest personally.
Best love,
Warren
