Washington U.R) What's new in Washington: The" gook-de-gook around here is " wearing a little thin. Here is the text of a dispatch that made the rounds of govern ment agencies. It said: "In con junction, with other government agencies we took steps to clarify this problem, and to develop of ficial data on which to base def inite corrective action. We are not yet in a position to estimate just when this may be . effec tively, accomplished." . End of item. . Ground is being -broken for a new Senate office building, and things are bad all ovr. About 400 government workers are about to be dispossessed from their free parking space. And they don't like it. A lot of them have seen the light and are showing up early a couple of hours, even. Parking a . few blocks away, drinking their cof fee out of thermos jugs and eat ing hard boiled eggs out of manila sacks. And jamming the traffic in the area. The roses are still red and the violets are blue, and so it soon will be Valentine's Day. The Post Office reports that in this land there are towns named Valentine in Nebraska, Texas, Arkansas, and Arizona. Virginia also has such town, but tacks an "s" on the hind end. Democratic secretaries on Capitol Hill have a club called "The Burros." They had as their luncheon guest New- Jersey's Gov. Robert F. Meyner. There was a Q and A' after the dessert dishes had been hauled away. One of the bright young ladies asked the man, who is rising in stature in Democratic circles, if he had any hopes for 1956. He ducked that one nicely by re plying: "Lady, I'd -rather be surprised than disappointed." RUMMAGE SALE Saturday, Feb. 1 2, 9, am 217 West Main St. F.O.E.

The House Government Oper ations Committee, which is charged with keeping tabs on the efficiency of all government agencies, held a 90' minute or ganizational meting. Idea was to ' draw up some important rules, hire a staff and appoint sub-committees. There was a lot of large and small talk and about adjournment time, it was discovered ho committee steno grapher had been called in. The cause looked lost, since it was a closed meeting. Lost, that is, until the secretary-of one of the committee members announcd that she had been earning her pay by taking unofficial notes. They are now official and in the record. Angkor in Cambodia, a City buried in the jungle for nearly 500 years before French schol ars uncovered it, held more than a million people.
