BUNKER MAKING
STRONG REPUTATION

Secretary Of State Joseph T. Bun
ker Is making strong reputation at
the State House. He enhanced this
reputation greatiE through MS action
in the Council chambe- recently. At
the time he and Mr.. Leadbetter were
in the Council chamber together and
were engaged in light conversation.
Secretary Bunker was sitting at his
desk, z heavy ccll-top affair q, the
left Of the entrance % the Office OF the

corner Of the room from q four-side

window Mr.. Leadbetter beheli in
great surprise Secretary Bunker sit

Sition where the bookcase had been
while the bookcase stood unruffied in
the position formerly occupied by the
heavy desk. 1t was done so quickly
and withal SO quietly and smoothly
that there is no small debate as TO
how it was accomplished. The most
reasonable proposition, considering the
speed of the operation. is that the
secretary Of State seized the bookcase
in one hand. the desk in the other.
turned half around in his tracks and
set them down again. only hesitating
to flip the desk chair into its new po-
sition with the toe of his boot as he
turned.
Previous to the winning Of a reputa-
ton as a strong secretary of State, it
is said, Secretary Bunker won rep
utation as q man capable of filing a
big position. the ushers in a local
theater being one night under the ne
cessity Of providing Secretary Bunker
with a special chair in a side aisle
when he complained that he could not
