Washington Letter
Nv ERBER c. PLUsrsrER

WASHINGTON. May so-"Mr. Speaker, a parlia-
mentary inquiry"
Things were getting lively on the floor of the house
OF representatives. A resolution to send the farm re-
lief bill with the senate amendment providing for the
export debenture plan to conference was pending.
Party lines never we're more tightly drawn. Re-
pubIicans we're solidly behind the resolution. Demo-
Gratis were putting up a plucky but futile opposition,
and were ~resorting to every possible DIT Of strategy.
Mr.. Speaker, a parliamentary inquiry
The cry was heard repeatedly from the democratic
side.
These we're busy moments for the young man sta
toned at the elbow Of Speaker Longworth. For upon
the shoulders Of Lewis Descher. parliamentarian OF
the house. rested the responsibility Of putting the cor
rect words into the mouth OF the speaker In answer
to these parliamentary inquiries.
Deschler must be on his toes constantly at such
times. Each inquiry must be met with q ruling from
the chair. and quickly. And the ruling must be cor
rect.
GUARDIAN OF oRD
The young parliamentarian is a model of efficiency
lon occasions like this. He moves up within q few
inches OF the speakers stand where even a whispered
explanation may be heard by the chair with ease. Al
most before the questioner has stated his inquiry
|Deschle rstarts with his answer. And he stays by the
speakers side until the storm Is over and peace regns
again.
One finds 1t difficult to understand how such q
young man can hold so important q position. Deschler
IS not past 80.
Speaker Longworth appointed hin house parlia-
lmentarian January /. 1923. He succeeded Lehr Fess,
the son of the United States senator from Ohio. He
had been Fess' assistant.
Deschler has not been an expert In parliamentary
law many years. It was not so long ago that he was
employed as timekeeper in the house Of representa-
ltiyes.
But the subject interested him even then. and he
started to read up on II. Then Fess decided to resign
Longworth suggested to Deschler that he learn al
the parliamentary law he could and he would give him
Ia try at Fess' place.
GOOD CHOICE
The speakers choice proved to be a good one.
lDeschler Is admitted to be one OF the best parliamen.
Itarians the house ever has had
When he is not on the floor OF the house Deschler
may be fosnd In the speakers rooms Just across the
hall. His desk is In O corner. and Is piled up with all
sorts Of books on rules and parliamentary law.
Not far away are the chambers Of the supreme
court where he must 60 frequently to look UP decisions
affecting some parliamentary question.
Deschler says his work is hard. but to him it is the
most fascinating thing ne can think Of. He must read
constantly to keep posted on questions likely to arise
in the house.
Frequently he works all night on a problem. The
speaker must be ready at all times and Deschler must
lsee that the speaker Is ready.
