The Hon. George Higgins Moses
sire in chief of the Sons Of the Wilo
| Jackass," may run into snag, it ap-
pears. If @ne applies for membership In
the press galleries Of Congress. The
! question has not yet arisen, but there's
! already talk of putting the newly ap.
! pointed foreign affairs correspondent Of
| the Chicago Daily News on the spot
There are two entirely different angles
| to the case of the former Senator from
New Hampshire. One Is that as an ex-
member Of the Senate Mr.. Moses Is en-
titled to the privileges OF the fioor
| which'd give him an important advan-
tage over other reporters. In the sec
ond place. floor privileges, once at the
disposal of newspaper men (those rep
resenting the big news agencies, were
withdrawn in 1928 at the behest oi
of the all-powerful Rules Committee
The occasion was the revelation of an
executive session roll call on the con-
frmation of Roy o. West as Secretary
OF the Interior. For the disclosure OF
that news. the Senate punished the
press gallery by withdrawing news
paper floor privileges, but later abolished
executive sessions. Personally, George
Moses Is immensely popular with the
Washington writing craft.

Gratis who considered themselves de-
serving on other grounds are discover
ing that "FRBC" is an essential rec
ommendation for favor.

her respects to the President in her pro-
fessional capacity. Hello, there!" Mr.
Roosevelt chirped, merrily. Seen my
