vice presidential suite in the Mayfiower
Hotel and his law Offices in the Union
Trust Building.
Represented as having no personal In
terest in society, Mr.. Gam is said to
feel that the question of Mrs. Cams
official status is the particular concern
of the Vice President and the diplo-
matte corps.
His friends feel that the public is
misinformed as to the effect on him of
any ruling in the matter. AS a distin-
guished attorney he enjoys social posi-
ton in his own right, and any position
his wife might occupy at formal gath
erings Of an official character would
not have the effect Of embarrassing him
or resulting in misunderstanding.
In this connection, it was pointed cut
that rarely. at such gatherings does a
man accompany his own wife TO the
dinner table.
While precedence in such matters has
ruled for years, both in official society
and among other groups, history has
been neglectful of men who found
themselves in positions similar to that
of Mr.. Gam. Mrs. John McElroy, the
sister Of President Arthur, acted as his
hostess, but persons who can rec1te IN
detail the story of the social stir that
resulted find it difficult to recall wheth-
er Mrs. McElroy's husband figured at
all.
Regardless of the final ruling in the
case OF Mrs. Gam, her husbands
friends say that he will greet it with
apparent unconcern and be gratified
to abide by it with the dignity and
consideration characteristic Of his posi-
ton.

lIagerstown. It was q commercial
plane. The scenery at this time Of the
wear is great as viewed from the air"
The Secretary was asked what Mrs.
Davis thought about her husbands ny
ing activities.
"Why Mrs. Davis and all MY children
are flying devotees," he responded.
Mrs. Davis and my son, Jim, went up
with Lindbergh when he was carrying
passengers at Boiling Field some time
ago. We all would have a plane II I
could afford one"
Secretary Davis was one Of the first
cabinet ofiicers to make use of a plane
in pursuance of official duties. He has
used Army planes in making aerial sur
yeys of the Governments immigration
defenses and has found the airplane OF
special value for inspection work along
the Mexican border.
Trip Easy With Plane.
"I covered in several hours country
1t would have taken me several months
to traverse without plane" Mr.. Davis
said. Land transportation in those
arid stretches is slow and difncult.
With a plane the Job was easy"
Secretary Davis believes in taxing
proper precautions before taking to the
air. In his flight yesterday he wore
a parachute, but spectators noticed
that he hadn't taken the trouble to
strap it on tightly. Furthermore, he
never fails to inquire Of Government
officials the immediate weather pros
poets. He has never tried to pilot
ship himself.
If the time ever comes when Con-
gress provides planes as well as auto
mobiles for the use of cabinet officers
the Labor Secretary will be the first to
take advantage Of the innovation.
81 wouldn't like to venture predic-
ton as to when such a development
might come about" he remarked, but
in the meantime / guess the Army will
lend me a plane when feel the need
for one in my official capacity"

The Government commended that nat

presentation of unexpired consular inn

The decision was a victory for the
Government, which sought a sweeping

were required to present immigration
visas to obtain admission. The opinion
was a broad construction OF the Jay

The Commissioners then went on to
call attention to the rapidity with which

that he thought the Federal Govern

II he thought it would be necessary

Mr.. Adams replied that he did not
think the Government or the munich
