WASHINGTON LETTER


The publication Of a list Of SEN
ators and congressman making
trips on Government ships dur
ing the summer recess has
brought out fine collection Of
alibis. There is a party Of eleven
touring the Far East on a govern
ment transport. Shortly after
this list was made public several
of these legislators fearing the
possible effects in their districts,
wired an explanation to their
home districts saying that they
were paying their own expenses
and not depending upon the
charity Of the Federal Govern
ments. These junkets are usually
expensive to the taxpayers but
most entertaining to the travel
ers.
One of the difficulties arising
from the unofficial visits OF mem
bers of Congress is the effect on
foreign relations. Many officials
of foreign governments are given
wrong impression of this coun.
try by indiscreet remarks OF
their guests. In many instances
foreign governments have inter-
preted the talk on foreign poll
cies by congressman as semi-ofii-
cial, when as a matter of fact
their views carried no weight
with the Administration. There
is an old story in Washington to
the effect that a congressman
will talk at the least provocation
and that is one of the reasons
why the State Department,

and reckless and finally went
across the street TO a saloon for
a glass OF whiskey.
1t was the first drink I had
ever taken in that town, where
I knew enemies were always
watching every move we made.
But now. having quit my job
and my friend, didn't care.
I stood around after having
my drink and the bartender,
whom I instinctively felt knew
me, asked me to ''have another"
and began a conversation. Pres
emily some other men came In
and 1 had a drink with them.
The New York train came and
departed, but I made no move to
catch 1t. I knew there would be
another in an hour. Several
rounds of drinks followed, until
I reached that stage Of quasi
intoxication where I wanted to
be my myself. It was always
that way-I could begin drinking
in company. but inevitably ended
by myself. Somehow or other /

Of drinks as sort of farewell

Meanwhile the conversation had
turned toward a discussion of
the prison, and the bartender,
without authority from me, had
introduced me to the last two
newcomers as ''the warden's

saying that had resigned, and
the crowd instantly warmed I'D
to me, gradually speaking In dis
respectful terms of Osborne and
his crazy ideas" 1 at once

and the argument was growing
rapidly heated and personal when
one Of the men, a young fellow,
shouted:
Osborne may be honest. as
you say, but he's rotten, and
we've got the dope on him, too"
I didn't stop to reason. I shot
my right fist into the speakers
mouth almost before he finished.
The blow caught him off guard,
and he staggered. He came back
at me instantly, however, and I

counter and interviewed, holding

Two Of the customers took

came in and I got aboard. We
were all more or less under the
influence of liquor, and those
