$320 Investmentin 1908 Turns. Into Big National Press Club
Br LOUIS CASSELS
United Press Correspondent
Washington W This is
the 50th anniversary of a
$320 investment that pro
duced a unique American in
stitution. The investment was made
in the spring of 1908 by 32
Washington news papermen
who chipped in S10 each to
found the National Press
Club.
The club began life in two
rented rooms above a jewelry
store. Today it owns the tall
est office building in down
town Washington, the Nation
al Press Euilding, and occu
pies handsome quarters on
its top floor.
The original purpose of the
Press Club was to provide a
place where working news
papermen could get together
to eat, drink and talk shop.
It still serves that purpose,
but it is now far more than a
social club. It has become a
world-famous forum before
which leaders of America and
other nations speak, and in
which correspondents from
20 countries exchange ideas
and ask questions.
The club now has 4,600

occupants of high government
posts are promptly invited
to address the Press Club.
Virtually all of them accept.
Despite the prestige it has
acquired over the years, and
the role it plays in national
affairs, the club has never
taken itself quite as seriously
as some politicians take it.
Women are barred from
membership in the club, and
even when squired by hus
bands or boy friends, they are
restricted to certain areas of
the club, such as the east
lounge. They may enter the
main dining room for dinner,
but not for lunch. No female
foot is permitted inside the
oak-paneled men's bar, which
is famed as the most fertile
spawning ground of rumors in
Washington, or in the card
room where a well-nigh per
petual poker game is in prog
ress. The Traditions
Other traditions of the club
reflect the peculiar foibles of
newspapermen, including
their fervent distrust of one
another's credit and their irr
verence toward authority. No
member is allowed to charge
anything at any time and no
one may cash a check larger
than S20. Officers of the club
are expected to wear their
mantles lightly. For example:
The "General Advisory Com
mittee' composed of past pres
idents is enjoined by custom
never to meet except in ex
treme emergency and "never
to offer advice under any
circumstances."
At present, all of the rents

The Hollywood Scene BUnU
Hollywood (IP1 As far as
singer Tony Bennett is con
cerned it'll be a long, cool
day before he gets a "nose
job" to put him in the run
ning as a Hollywood movie
actor.
If it weren't for this bit of
stubborness it might well be
the smooth-voiced Bennett in
stead of Elvis Presley cast as
the star of "King Creole."
The script was known as
"A Stone for Danny Fisher"
when Bennet was suggested
as the lead.
"But you'll never be a mat
inee idol unless you have
some plastic surgery on your
nose," the 31-year-old singer
was told.
And Bennett, normally
easy-going, anxious to please,
shook his head (and nose) at
the plan with words to the
effect that Hollywood produc
ers often can't see beyond
their own you-know-what.
Involved Discussion
The discussion about facial
features in general and Ben
nett's nose in particular took
place minutes after he'd com
pleted recording three songs
for a new Columbia album.
The recording seassion was
squeezed between club dates.
Now appearing at Holly
wood's Cocoanut Grove, Ben
nett leaves Thursday for
Reno, Nev., for another sing
ing engagement.
A favorite of the club cir
cuit ("After seven years I'm
in a position where I just play
the top night clubs") and a
solid money-maker for Co
lumbia Records, Bennett nev
ertheless would drop both ac
tivities' immediately if the
right "Eli Kazan type of act
ing role came along."
A student of the American
Theatre Wing, Bennett one
day hopes to have a serious
acting part in a "quality"
film.
Looks for Something Else
"They'll let me keep my
own nose if it's one of those
'walk in and sing a couple
of songs, Tony,' kind of
movies," he explained. "But
that's not what I'm looking
for."
Bennett's major ambition,
however, is to be a "concert"
entertainer 15 years from
now.
"Danny Kaye and Victor
Borge have this type of show
today," he said, "and this is
my ultimate goal. Right now
I'm in a training period, one
which will one day make me
ready to entertain for two
and a half hours in a concert
hall."
Bennett, meanwhile, is busy
40 weeks of "the year with
cafe dates in Las Vegas, Nev.,
Florida, New York, Chicago,
Reno and Los Angeles.
