                                 ______


                        HON. RICHARD A. GEPHARDT

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 16, 1995
  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, I rise before my colleagues today to pay 
tribute to Fred J. Mishow on his 75th birthday.
  Fred fled his native Germany to escape Nazi tyranny in 1937. He began 
a distinguished career in the military during the years 1942-46, which 
earned him three Battle Stars and the Philippine Presidential Citation. 
Fred's tour in the South Pacific theater of war instilled in him the 
qualities of leadership that have served him well in civilian life.
  Fred has been active in democratic politics on the city, county, and 
State levels. He served as precinct captain in Hadley Township for 35 
years. He also served as Sergeant-at-Arms at the 1968, 1972, and 1992 
Missouri State democratic conventions. In addition to these 
achievements, Fred earned the Thomas F. Eagleton Grass Roots Man of the 
Year Award in 1990.
  Fred has unselfishly given his time and talents to our community. In 
addition to his political activities he has worked hard in various 
religious and civic organizations. I am proud to call Fred Mishow my 
friend, and I commend the service he has given to the St. Louis area, 
the State of Missouri, and the United States of America.
