EVERETT OlRKStM
By Herbert Plummer
WASHINGTON Slowly, and on
he part of some, rather surely, the
new member of the- house are ven
turing oui into
the open ana
making them
selves heard In
I debate on the
i I loor of the
houae.
The debuts of
some have been
rather amateur
ish, but rarely
apologetic. Time
waa when a new
member made
his maiden
speech on the
floor, he pref
aced It with a
statement that
realized he was new to' the congres
sional way, but that he hoped the
members would bear with him for hi
felt he must express himself.
Most of the newcomers have shown
Jlttle of that so far. They have
Jumped In with an air; of confidence
that they can clear the hurdle with
ease.
For example In the midst of de
bate the other day one of them arose,
addressed the speaker, and without
waiting for recognition started for
the well of the houae.
Tor what purpose does the gen
tleman rise?" aaked the speaker.
By this time the gentleman was
In the well. He turned around to
ithe speaker and, with a look of sur
prise,, replied 1
"Why. er to debate."
And he seemed a bit nonplussed
when the speaker required him to
explain Just what he, wanted to de
bate. . Good Delivery
Perhaps the freshman representa
tive who has made one of the beat
Impressions on the house so far Is
the young, tousled-haired gentleman
whose Illinois district takes In terri
tory that Abraham Lincoln once rep
resented, j
His name Is Everett Dlrksen of
Pekln, who defeated the veteran WU-
11am Ed Hull In the last election.
Dlrksen, who during his campaign
won the sobriquet of "the baker and
delivery boy" because of his habit of
making deliveries ot bread himself
from his bakery during rush hours,
n l ways gets "a hand when he speaks."
Laughs Too
He speaks with a deliberate and
earnest drawl that is pleasing to
hear.
He told five anecdotes In his maid
en speech which lasted only four
minutes. Each brought howls of
laughter.
There la little cockiness about him.
He admits that It la all strange to
him that he has a lot to learn, and
that he la trying to learn It

When First Lady Talks
It s News; White House
Story on Beer Proves It
' By HERBERT PLUMMER.
WASHINGTON As a general thing,
the wife of the president Isn't usually
a source of what newspaper folk call
"spot" news.
That doesn't mean, however, that
they haven't at times been In the
day's Interesting stories.
Mrs. Hoover, for example, stirred
up a controversy while she was mis
tress of the white House, by dis
missing her secret service attendant
and driving her own car around
Washington.
So-called arbiters of etiquette pro
fessed to be shocked that the Presi
dent's wife should do such a thing.
And that celebrated Incident ot
the time Mrs. Coolldge was late to
luncheon In the Black Hills and kept
the president cooling his heels also
was news.
A New Source.
But the point is, first ladles never
have been considered of sufficient
news Importance for the senate and
press gallery correspondents In Wash
ington to worry about them very
much.
Twice a week most of them drop
everything and go to the White House
to attend the president s regular press
conferences. They wouldn't think ot
missing one of those Wednesday
morning or Friday afternoon sessions
with the chief executive.
But It now appears that there are
ELKS BAND PLAYS
other new sources at the - White
House than merely Mr. Roosevelt. Mrs.
Roosevelt has emerged as a news
maker who will bear watching.
Once a week Mrs. Roosevelt gives
a press conference of her own which
Is attended only by the newspaper
women of the capital. The men ol
the craft had thought little of these
weekly meetings and bad Ignored
them.
Then the other day they had their
eyes opened.
3.2 Per Cent News. '
It seems that Mrs. Roosevelt told
the voune women who had sone to
the White House that day that while'
she was a teetotaler herself. If it be
comes legal to serve beer, then guests
at the mansion may have It for the
asking.
And then she switched to the sub
ject of Easter clothing and voiced ob
jection to the purchase of gowns
which In price and manner of manu
facture would proclaim they must
be sweat shop work. Since the secre
tary of labor Is waging a crusade on
this subject at the present time the
announcement was regarded as highly
significant.
The men correspondents In -the
capital were jarred considerably whe,n
they read these stories in the paper
and realized they had been scooped.
What they'll do about It Is not yet
clear. But the general attitude seems
to have been expressed by a col
umnist on one -of the Washington
papers.
'If the girls think we men,' he
wrote, "are going to miss out on such
economic stories they are as crazy
as galoots."

played a leading role In Japan's con'
quest of Jehol-
When the campaign plans were
drawn It was decided that the 65,'
000 square miles of territory could be
most expeditiously added to the Jap
anese-fostered state of Manchukuo
by the use of a motorized force.
Trucks Pursue Chinese.
All except a few of these vehicles
bore American trade marks. The
exceptions were made in Japan.
Caravans of. trucks, sometimes 3
miles long, loaded with Japan's war
rlors, pursued the poorly organized
Chinese over frozen roads and moun
tain passes, going day and night.
All of the Japanese officers were
loud In their praise of these Amerl
can machines, which stood the most
terrible abuses and stresses on some
of the worst roads In the world.
Another score for American In
dustry was chalked up by the motor
cycles. Thousands of these sturdy
little vehicles carried officers, ma
chine gun units, medical supplies.

The hospital service used Ameri

I saw scores of these comfortable, six

at a critical monfent.
American-made airplanes also con

American motors in them, but there
were a considerable number of en

To complete the American trans

go into details.
He said herculean efforts would be '
made to open the closed the closed,
banks as rapidly as possible. About
five billion of deposits are tied up in
the banks still closed.
The secretary said his conference
