I understand that General Goff told a
party. OF West Virginiaua recently that
alter he got through his pre3enl term in
Congress tha. nothing under the sun could
induce him to take another public office.
Representing 8 constituency in Congreas is

perience, as well as that OF some othere, has
been that General Goff at times felt
bored when I sent in my; card to him at
the Capitol, or called on him at his hotel
for information ior the G iINrELLlaRNcER.
l know though that. l have never obtruded
myself often or unnecessarily. ,lit.
