THE NEW VICE PRESIDENT
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan
dropped into the vice president's
private office just before Henry Wal­
lace was girding himself to make
his debut as president of the senate.
He found Wallace with the senate
chaplain. Rev. ZeBarney T. Phillips.
Vandenberg looked at the two
men, apparently trying to decide
which was the more devout. Josh­
ing Rev Phillips, he said: "We won't
need you any more. Henry Wal­
lace can offer the prayer."
In senate circles it is generally
Agreed that Wallace will be every­
thing that Garner wasn't. Garner
used to make his appearance for the
opening at noon, stay for 10 minutes,
then disappear. Wallace will start
at noon and stay on the job. really
running the senate in a conscien­
tious manner.
But what Garner did after he left
the chamber, Wallace will fail to do.
Garner was a mixer, a mixer of
men and a mixer of drinks. His
backstage work was enough to put
any bill across—or to kill it.
As one senator put it, "Garner's
office was the only place in the sen­
ate wing where we could always
count on getting a drink. We know
we can't count on Wallace for that."

BREAKFASTS TO GET THE
FAMILY VP
"The nice thing about breakfasts,”
said one newlywed, "is that you
don't have to plan them, you just
serve them.” Although it is possible
to get a breakfast with whatever
there is at hand in the line of toast,
coffee, and fruit juices, a little plan­
ning does yield big dividends.
For it is planning that makes pos­
sible the breakfast specialties that
get the laggards out of bed in the
morning—and down to eat before
they go. And that's important, be­
cause they miss the Vitamin C in
the orange or tomato juice when
they skip breakfast, the Vitamin B

in the egg yolk, which aren't always
made up later in the day.

of that mid-morning fatigue. It’s a

of the next day.
