DON'T QUOTE ME

Washington, Dec 2.-(UP)- There are two state departments in Washington.
 One is in the ancient stone build ing just across from the White House. The other is in a colonial, lawn n-bordered home several miles the estate of Sec- retary Henry l.. Stimson. Some of the most momentous diplomatic conferences of the last three years have taken place at Woodley.
 There Stimson, at an, hour when
 most people were having break fast yesterday, received the British war debt note. There, also, he
 called British Ambassador Sir Ronald Lindsay week ago to re- ceive Americas reply to Britain's first note, there too Stimson assem- bled the ambassadors of the lead- ing European powers on a sultry summer day in June, 1881, to
 break the news of the Hoover moratorium. And it was in the quiet library at Woodley that Stimson often talked with Ambassador Katsuji Debuchi of Japan during the stormy days of Japan's Manchurian conquest.
 Comfort and secrecy are the two advantages which Stimson seeks by | transferring his public business to his home. During stormy periods in foreign relations, the state de- partment cohrridors. are filled with newspapermen waiting to interview visiting ambassadors. To circum- | vent the press, Stimson moves his office to his home. But, sooner or later, news of the Woodley diplo- matic conferences nearly always leaks out.
 Newspapermen who cried copi-
 ously from tear gas during the army's eviction of the bonus marchers last summer. are taking precautiop now that the ''hungera
 marchers are coming here. Many have bought gas-proof | tightly. over the eyes. They come compound which is rubbed over the lenses.
