By HELEN FOX,

NEW YORK, June 23.-If AL
Smith travels down to Washington,
Mrs. Colonel House will take the
same train down.
"Al's" friends all maintain that
he could no more do without the
advice Of Mrs. Henry Moskowitz
than President Wilson could have
dispensed with that Of Colonel

and minister without a portfolio"
are the titles given to Mrs. Mosk.

well, suppose it all started
with my suggesting the reconstruc.
ton committee to the governor, :"
Mrs. Moskowitz said, when 1 asked
her how she won her titles today.
THE reconstruction committee is
my baby-and its a very lusty one.
Met Him In 1918.
II first met Governor Smith just
before election in 1918. 1 had been
urged by friends Of his to help with
the campaign. That was the be.
ginning of our close friendship.
lit was not, however, until a few
months later that had the oppor.
tunity to- be Of real assistance.
Some time between the time he was
elected and his taking office; the
governor asked several Of us in to
confer with him. remembered he
said that it was not enough to have
been elected by talking of certain
policies, but it was, necessary to
carry out those policies with legis-
lation."
Mrs. Moskowitz then told how her
Child" was born.

idea Of reconstruction commission

the governor asked for suggestions

gestion-you are a reconstruction
governor and you ought to have Q

briefly outlined my plan and the
governor asked me to give 1t to
him in writing. He took the sug.
gestion and the work of the com.
mission Of which / was made sec.
rotary, is now well known to the
public"
His Unofficial Adviser.
|. Beginning with this suggestion,
Mrs. Moskowitz acted in the ca.
pacity Of unofficial adviser to Gov.
ernor Smith. She has made other
suggestions. She has helped with
appointments. She has assisted
with addresses to the legislature
"Since that time became closely
associated with the governor she
said. II have often suggested a
program to him and discussed a
question of policy. I have discussed
the subject of his annual addresses
to the legislature with him before
hand. Frequently, when the gov
ernor thinks that a subject is in
my line, he takes it up with me,
and frequently takes my advice.
However, don't want to be
misunderstood. There are many
things that we never talk about,
Some things the governor knows I
know nothing about, and they are
never discussed"
