APagcFonrtoan THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday. August 22. 1963 HERE AND THESE IN BUSINESS St'CCESS STORV | EMIL SCHWARZ The success of one man-- Emll Schwarz--in the world of scientific and engineering achievement has become widely known through the recently published 1962-63 edition of "Leaders in American Science," which includes his picture and biography. Mr. Schwarz is a son of Mrs. Andrew Schwarz of 501 Country Club drive, McHenry, better known to her California friends as the flying grandma. At 78 years of age, she still spends the winter months with her son, Emil, and wife, Bernice, her grandchildren, Richard and Ronald, now married, and a great-grandmother. Mr. Schwarz's rise in the scientific world is a typical Horatio Alger type story, for it has emerged out of years spent in riding box cars, four years as a "hobo" and a childhood in Germany during the first World War when his small eardrums were "blown in from shrapnel." The scientific world has honored his accomplishments, against these odds, by making him a member of the American Rocket Society, American Association for the Advancement of Science, National Aeronautics association, California Academy of Sciences and American Society of Tool and Manufacturing Engineers, among others. Arriving in this country at the age of 19 with an excellent background of training in the art of gun making, he found it difficult to find American employment for his skill during the depression years. His dream of accomplishment being even before the days of his apprenticeship to a gunmaker. It had its beginning during the war when his father headed a German troop detachment on the Russian frontier and his mother struggled to keep, him and his three brothers, Nick, Otto and Tony (now of Milwaukee, Wis.) alive on pfieager food. > During World War II, Schwarz held a top post in which jhe cbtef gunsmith for U.S. Rubber Munitions in Des- Moines.

The former FBI man will be paid $20,000 a year to supervise operation of the business being set up by a special commission . which hopes to begin the program next year. Powers, who has spoken before the McHenry Rotary club on several occasions, earned a Phi Beta Kappa key at I^awrence college, Appleton, Wis., and a law degree from Georgetown university, Washington. He also headed the FBI offices in-'Albany, N. Y., Miami and New York City. In Boston, he played a key role in solving the two-milliondollar Brink's robbery.

The mailing was made without party distinction. Some duplications we're unavoidable, and some households were inadvertently omitted. It is hoped that anyone who received a second questionnaire passed it on to a friend. Any person who has not yet received a questionnaire may write me at the New House > Office Building, Washington, D. C. 20515, and a form will be sent out immediately. More than 15,000 questionnaires have been answered and returned to me. The job of assembling, reviewing, acknowledging and tabulating the responses is staggering in its proportions ,but is well under way. Every member of my Washington staff is cooperating to see that the replies--and particularly the thoughtful and helpful comments--come to my personal attention. This work should be completed in the next two weeks, after which the final results may be published and distributed. Individual comments have been entered on more than halt of the returned questionnaires, and all but a few were signed proudly by those \j/ho have responded. In addition, a number of personal letters, to amplify the voters' views, have accompanied the completed questionnaires have afforded the "first" opportunity of persons in out district to communicate directly with their representative in Congress! A number of "comments" have criticized the form of this questionnaire, even designating some of the questions as "loaded." However, the overwhelm ing majority of those who took the pains to express then opinions have made generally favorable comments. In many replies, people have volunteer ed their party affiliations, and a close similarity of Views appears in those expressed by both Republicans and Democrats on some issues. A major "by-product" of the questionnaries is the intimate and personal contact between tens of thousands of constituents and this member of Congress. The decisions on all issues coming before the Congress will be made by me--individually-- but, as representative of the citizens of our 12th Congressional district, my decisions will more accurately reflect the views of our residents as a result of the answers and the thousands of thoughtful personal comments contained in the questionnaires.
