so that there seems no tearing hurry
about those Washington quarters. And
really one never knows from day to
day what houses are going to bob
up empty In the shuttle.
For instance, 1t was reported last
week that the Baruchs were to give
up the Reynolds Hit house which
they occupied last winter. and had
signed q lease for the house at l1Vi
Eighteenth street-only a few doors
off-vhich has been occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Paul warburg. The War
burgs are in Chevy Chase for the
summer. Just what they were going
to do no one seemed to know. Mr..
Warburg's term on the Federal Re-
serve Board was expiring, and per-
haps he did not care for a reappoint-
ment.
But now it seems generally accepted
that he will be reappointed-and for
ten?year term, just as soon as Con-
gress gets down to work again. And
1t develops that the Baruchs' nego-
tiations for that house have fallen
through and that they are to remain
at the Hit house for another winter.
