SjNCE the president sent out the Invitation
to the new members of congress to visit
biro t the White House there has been consid
erable speculation in the cloak rooms as to
what sort of a party it would be. Conjecture
ran all the way from the idea that political
beat would be turned on to the belief that it
would be a brief word with' the president in a
reception line that the tired executive would
then retire, and the members would talk among
themselves over punch and cookies until sig
nalled to leave.
The only single clue that appeared was what
en member was told, in response to a letter ac
cepting the invitation, that the occasion would
be social. '
That was correct. All other guesses were
entirely wrong.
We gathered in the great east room at the
White House. Speaker Sam Rayburn acted as
,C. (in this instance the letters meaning
"master of ceremonies.") In single file we were
ushered through a hall to the state dining room.
Tha president greeted each of us with a friendly
comment or question.
, ,
Informal Party
SHORTLY a small group gathered around the
president. Seated up close, the conversation
was free and friendly it was an Intimate and
social affair. Everyone had a chance to get 'in
at close range, ask questions and generally
engage in the conversation. Some congressman
was always ready with a light for the presi
dent's cigarette. It was that sort of an informal
party.
I think the one thing that impressed every
onethe one thing mentioned most in the
crowd as we filed ouUwas the relaxed good
bealthr-rand good humor of the president. Take
my word for it he is anything but a tired old
man. Mo recent photograph of him tells the
truth as I saw it. President Roosevelt does not
appear tired. His coloring is good and-he ap
pears to be in excellent health. He obviously
enjoyed the gathering. He talked freely and
seemed willing to talk on any subject and to
welcome any sort of question.
We don't, I am told, ever directly quote the
president but I may say that he talkedwith us,
not only about the war on ail "fronts but
bout building a system of highways after the
war-rand a score of other things. Strangely
enough, no one asked him about the fourth
term. I guess they just did not think of it I
know I didn't.
Good Sense
IF THERE was any deep political implication
in the meeting I missed it. It seemed like
just mighty good common sense to me the
idea of the chief executive of our country
gathering new members of congress around him
to. get acquainted with them and for informal
discussion. I do not think he charmed any
followers away from the opposition nor do I
believe he had any particular intention along
that line. He is very sure of r himself is
certain he Is right and obviously is not worried
or really much concerned about what the other
fellow thinks.'
In bidding us good night and he stayed until
we left the room the president joshed a bit
about doing all of the talking said he likes to
talk and I believe him.
Nothing quite like this has ever been done
before, I am told. Nor have the new members
in this congress from both sides of the isle met
"socially" before. I approve heartily of both
breaches of precedent if that is what to call
it. The whole thing was a bit symbolic of what
we need in government to finish off this war
job-rrmore unity and less politics. A good time
was bad by all.
powerful nation In the world joking and talk
ing to the newest representatives ot the people,
many of whom, only six months ago, were on
farms. In law offices, or small business through
out this land.
In spite of all the differences of opinion one
may hear Bny day on Capitol Hill, one came
away from this gathering with a feeling that
there is a fundamental unity in this great
democracy; that in the crisis now facing the
world, free men will prevail over the slaves
of Hitler.

WA&miwiuw, juarcn 11 This much we

Standley is an adult personal

not to criticize a diplomatic

It Is difficult for any ob
server here to believe the old
friend of the president would
have dared to speak even the
simple truths he did without
authority. Of course, occasionally, diplomacy
requires a government to officially deny what
it unofficially knows to be true.

THERE ARE DOGS AND DOQB
D0RR1S, Calif., (To the Edl
tor) Have been rending In your
paper about the dog question
among tlio residents of Klain
ath Falls and think if all could
take a medium view of the sub
ject it would be better for nil of
them.
Many people are dog lovers
and ninny are not mid 1'vo
known people to grnucli If a dog
just happened to walk across
their lawns.
For yeurs we have owned a
dog and sometimes two, and I've
come to the conclusion that dogs
are just like people, in soma
ways. Thoy have their person
ality, some good and soma bad.
And no doubt some neighbors'
dogs are n source of annoyunco
to others but those dogs uro
generally dogs that are not well
trained and do not rocelvo the
right care at home. But the pi
oneer spirit Is so strong in me, I
do not like to see even a dog tied
up. Freedom even to u dog must
mean much, nnd many people
are so inconsldcrnto of s dog, as
I hove seen dogs tied out on a
rock pile without any water on
a hot doy. It would bo better if
such people didn't own a dog.
1 am sending In a poem ubout
our dog Jack. Perhaps many
have seen him at the quarantine
station, nnd it may touch e soft
spot in someone's henrt nnd
mind. We hnvo lived in many
localities nnd in houses without
fences nnd hnvo never been both
ered with dogs. Perhaps we were
just lucky.

American people, that Russia may be fighting
for herself alone, and therefore might consider
a different kind of peace than we would, per-
naps an earlier one. y
It is only simpje, truthful reporting to set 3
out these facts, none ot which is secret, al. V
though the official reaction to Standley's very
limited statement here was a beating of the
bushes in congress demanding Standley's re
turn.
Whether Standjty returns is unimportant by
comparison wjth the fact that he bits thrown
out into the open a situation which must be
met by both Moscow and Washington fairly
and honestly on the open table. The time for
pretending by both sides has long since passed.
'io let sucn seeds grow unnoticed under a
plea that no questions shdujd be asked concern
ing an ally, would only plant a real distrust
which could never be adjusted. Open question
ing brings answers, and genuine understanding.
The onjy tbJng remarkable about Standley's
views to me was their suggestion that; whlje
Russia knows everything going on in the United
btates and has 11,500,000,000 of our planes,
tanks, etc. We know nothing about what is
going on in Russia.
Stalin n easily prove that he is not fighting
a war for himself and wJf not expect a peace
for himself by his deeds in the immediate future
including the sending of an authentic repre
sentative to the coming Welles meeting here
on the post-war world.

SO LONG as human relations are the essence
of government, Franklin D. Roosevelt will
do all right.
At his Informal reception to the new congress
men It was difficult for the most prejudiced to
resist the influence of his enthusiasm, his con
fidence and his essential humanity.
To those who were already favorably dis
posed, he was quite up to the highest expecta
tions. It is always Impressive to enter the White
House frpm the east wing down the intermin
able corridors. Arriving a little late as chance
would have it, I accompanied the exotic Mrs.
Luce down the receiving line. She is quite
human at an informal parly.
In the magnificent state dining room, the
president conversed with all the new congress
men in a thoroughly Informal and Intimate
manner. He discussed freely his trip to Africa,
the strategy in the Pacific and the progress
of the war in general.

HIS evident optimism, without making any
predictions, was heartening to everyone.

Communistic Preference
THE matter Is of far greater importance to
I us tnan may yet be generally appreciated,
because a number of Our own people actually
prefer Stalin's purpose to' ours.
The longshoreman' bulletin of the CIO, No.
20, issued February 24 at San Francisco, tells
of a union meeting addressed by "Bro. B. B.
Jones," a torpedoed American merchant sailor.
Mr. Jones related that U survivors from his
torpedoed ship were picked up by Swedish
vessel "whose crew, seamen and offieers were
good rank and filers" (red language for interna
tional communists). Bro. Jones counselled, the
workers:
"If the people went to wJn the peaee, poli
tical action on a broad front must be gotten
underway at once."
Then the bulletin concludes by saying:
"Bro. Jones pointed out why the red army
and Russian people were able to hand Hitler

profiteers to hinder limited war production."
The allegiance of Bro. Jones and hi sym
pathetic hearers, who now eagerly print hi
views, Is obviously not primarily directed in
this war toward winning for our way of life.
MOST confusing aspect of Standley's obser
vations was the simultaneous speech of
Vice President Wallace, warning Americans
they would hover attain postwar peace "if they
doublecross Russia."
Standley and Wallace seem to have the offi
cial shoe on opposite feet.
But juggling of shoes is the order of the day.
Mrs. Roosevelt announced that fourth term talk
should be cut off, because it would hurt the
immediate war effort. Htr friends, like Senator
Mead, of New York, who would not for the

simultaneously endowed the fourth term.
All the talk has been coming from such
sources which are obviously convinced that
despite what Mr. Roosevelt said, she will not
be displeased to any serious extent.
All thus seems to be confusion. But Is HT
