Stewards Washington Letter
by CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Even when
he'd prefer to keep quiet Repre-
sentative Tom l.. Blanton of Texas
has to admit he can't resist good
chance to make a speech.
He had an invitation to make one
the other day at Washington adj
vertis.ng CLUB luncheon.
He had the best of reasons for re-
fusing. He wanted as few people as
possible to know lie was in town.
He believes some very serious abuses
exist in the District of Columbia
government and arrived recently,
incognito, to investigate.
He intended to take the lid off
when congress meets, but he had an
idea that he could do the preliminary
detective work to best advantage In
gum shoes Accordingly, he kept
cut of sight all he could, and warned
his acquaintances to keep his presence
here secret.
Then came that Ad clrb invitation
and he fell.
