WASHINGTON, July 30. Sincere
Democrats who look up the Tift be
tween the majority and the White
House, which aeems to be growing
wider day by day, are mumbling
"might-have-beens,"
They eay, Aertously, what sounds
frivolous that bacon and eggs might
have helped matters. What they mean
la that there haven't been enough In
timate Invitations to gatherings, such

congressmen who otherwise never got
more than a handshake from the ex
ecutive, had something they could
write home about.
President Roosevelt doesn't' have
breakfast parties. Critics In congress
say that his dinners bog down with
the members of the executive branch.
Breakfasta are cheap a few saus
ages, as one com plainer puts It. The
Coolidge "fish-hash" became famous,
but It was potent. There might have
been a half a dozen congressmen at
these frugal gatherings, and not
much conversation, but the home
town newspapers only mentioned their
own representative. It sounded ex
clusive It made him seem Import

The committee will' meet ' again

It la hoped to have the formal re

loopholes also may be ready by that
