Another Ted" Edward T. Clark,
formerly confidential secretary to Presi-

Joslin in his absence.
Clark was popular with the press
during his former White House service,
but he was never press contact man.
That duty under Mr.. Coolidge fell sue
cessively to former Representatives Bas-
comb Slemp of Virginia and Everett
Sanders of Iowa. the latter now chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee.
Just what role Ted Clark is to have
after Ted Joslin's return is not quite

that caused much talk in press circles
was that apparently for campaign pur-
poses at least there are to be five or six
