Comment On
By HARMAN
Unittd PrM
. 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."

to ' draw up some important

sub-committees. There was a
lot of large and small talk and
about adjournment time, it was
discovered ho committee steno

cause looked lost, since it was
a closed meeting. Lost, that is,
until the secretary-of one of the
