Mrs. Moses Elected

The choice of a presiding officer
for the Ladies of the Senate was
especially interesting since it in
volved the question of whether or
not the Vice Presidents sister
and Official hostess"-was quail.
fled to step into the shoes of the
Vice Presidents wife, who is ex-
officio president of this official
luncheon club.
A considerable number of the
Senate ladies wished to see Mrs.
Edward E. Gam, sister of Sem
ator Curtis, the Vice President
elect, made president. But pre-
sunaably a. more considerable mum.
ber did not, since Mrs. George H.
Moses, wife of the president pro
tenn of the Senate, was elected.
However, it must be taken into
consideration that an amendment
to the regulations governing the
group would have been necessary
before Mrs. Cams name could
be even presented, since the con-
gtitution calls for "the wife of an
active Senator" in office and even
limits voting privileges to this
group.
Amendment introduced
This amendment was introduced
but voted down, and, when Mrs.
Moses was placed in nomination,
she was elected by acclamation.
Mrs. Joseph T. Robinson, wife of
the Democratic Senate leader, was
elected first vice president and the
other offices were divided pretty
evenly between the two political
groups. Mrs. Walter Evans Edge,
Mrs. John B. Kendrick and Mrs.
Guy Goff were named second,
third and fourth vice presidents,
respectively. Mrs. Thaddeus H.
Caraway is the new treasurer and
there are two secretaries, of whom
Mrs. Frederick Sackett is one.
AS the chatelaine of a Sena-
torial household, Mrs. Gam has
been for some years a member of
the Ladies of the Senate. But
since Senator Curtis will cease
to be a Senator when he becomes
Vice President, she was elected
an honorary member of the organ
ization--in order that there might
be no possible dispute over her
continued eligibility.

Congressional Club Elects NeUD Head;
Concerning the Ladies of the Senate
Two Conspicuous Official
Groups Much in the
News of Late

The Congressional Club
and the ladies of the SEN
ate, those two conspicuous
groups of official women,
have been continuously in
the news of late. Both have
held elections, in which
there was general interest
for a variety Of reasons.
At the Congressional Club
yesterday Mrs. Porter H.
Dale, wife of the Senator
from Vermont, was elected
TO succeed Mrs. Peter Goelet
Gerry, winning out over
Mrs. Louis G. Cramton, wife
of Representative Cramton
bf Michigan.
"Blackball Amendment"
The contest was close and
exciting, but the famous "black--
ball amendment" introduced
by Mrs. Albert H. Vestal and
designed to set up machinery
TO keep out undesirable mem
bers, never came up for action.
So far as can be learned, it
was not formally withdrawn
and may bob up again-loaded
with dynamite. However, the
majority of club members seem
to feel that this matter of ad-
mission can be taken care Of
as it always has been-by the
membership committee although
theoretically the wives of all
Members of Congress are auto
natically eligible.
Five Vice Presidents
There were nine candidates for
vice president and of these the
five receiving the largest num-
Der of votes were elected. They
are Mrs. William C. Ramseyer,
Iowa; Mrs. Clarence Lea, Califor-
mia; Mrs. S. Wallace Dempsey,
New York; Mrs. Louis T. McFad-
den, Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Tom
Connally, Texas. Mrs. Joe Grail,
of California, was made CORE
spending secretary. Mrs. Daniel
C. Reed, of New York. recording
secretary. and Mrs. Clay Stone
Briggs, of Texas, treasurer. They
were unopposed.
Supporters of Mrs. Cramton
maintained that since the Senate
had boasted the last president of
the club in the charming person
of Mrs. Gerry, the House should
rate the next president. They
should take comfort, however, in
the fact that, although a sena
torial woman was elected presi-
dent, every other member of the
executive board is from the House
wing-even, for the moment. Mrs.
Tom Connally, although Repre-
sentative Connally will be- Senator
Connally when the new Congress
reconvenes and before the new
group of club officers takes
office.
