Washington Briefs

Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, March EVERY time
he tries it Warren G. Harding scores
heavily as an impromptu speaker. His
Administration first birthday talk at the
National Press Club Saturday night was
no exception to the rule. The President
not only eschewed set speech, but had
no notion of making any speech until
three minutes before when Robert b.
Armstrong, president of the club leaned
over to him during a breakdown in the
radiophOne concert and made the sug
gestion. The slave of manuscript is al
ways a rhetoric chaser. He is hunting
for effects He is tempted into the al
lucrative, the high sounding and the
other fOibles of the oratOrical pyr0tech
nician. Mr.. Harding never fails to charm
when he let's himself go extemporaneous,
ly. He speaks his mind. Some of his
pet phrases are missing, but he gets
closer to his hearers than when he is
reading an essay over which he mani
testify has spent hours of preparation.
