And the other day, faced with secret committee rebellion by his own party, he pleaded:
 "Gentlemen, we have spent months and s200, 600 of the peo- ple's money to demonstrate the need of drastic legislation. Mil- lions of men and women have been Impoverished that a few ruthless and rapacious specuia- tors might grow wealthy. You cannot destroy this bill. The president wants 1t, the country demands it."

 The Soviet embassy was a lit- tie nervous before it pulled the reception which had all Wash. ington angling for invitations.
 Friends as the Turkish em- bassy, one of the first countries to recognize the Soviet govern ment, were called upon for advice. Mrs Jack Tate, able sec- retary of the Turkish ambassa- dor, was asked:
 elf we invite one thousand people, how many do you think will c6lne?~
 ssEleyen hundred" she replied.
 NOTE:-At the embassy door, however, stood a checker with a list of all invited guests. The eleven hundred did not come. No one not on the list was ad- mitted.

 Illustrative of how the brain trust has been expanded, in the public eye, to include almost ev- cry Tom, Dick and Harry re- motely connected with the New Deal, is the story of Jack Naugle.
 MT Naugle is not connected with the government-not even remotely. He is a businessman who comes to Washington fre- quently, has a sense of humor, and on occasion, broad Irish accent.
 Coming to Washington on the New York sleeper the other night, Mir Naugle got acquainted with a MT s of the MIRA. AL though not introduced they en- joyed a convivial conversation, made more convivial by the proper lubricants for convivial- ity. As the conversation prog resscd, MT s asked:
 By the way, didn't get your name?"
 "Oh, I'm O'NagIe of the brain trust" replied Nauglc with q wave of his hand.
 MT s was impressed, pro- pounded many weighty matters to his new friend. Eventually they went to bed.
 The next morning Naugle was up promptly and about to leave his Pullman, when the porter .accosted him.
 "Dis friend of yours got Q terrible fondness for slcep," he said. "I done shook him and shook him, and stood him up, but he falls right down again. If you don't carry him into the station he goii' be taken out in thes yards by the switch engines"
 He's no friend of mine," re- piled Naugle. "Hc's q member of the brain trust"
 This news, imparted to the conductor, worked miracles. Mir s was allowed to sleep peace fully. The switch engine did not take him to the yards.
 MERRY-GO.ROUND
 The senate is speculating as to what senator wrote the article in The Nudist magazine. It was signed "J. G. F.. A United States Senator" and was entitled Legal Nudism in Maryland" The magazine was banned from New York newsetands, also is hard to find in Washing ton. At the conclusion of the big Soviet reception, it was noticeable that the Russians did not sing "The Information ale" American guests led by Heywood Broun's basso, sang 1t just before they left at 4 a. m. Hitherto the British em- bassy has been ranked the most exclusive in Washington, It's in vitations the most sought after. For the time being at least, the Russians have taken this reputation away. What really went over big at the Soviet party was champagne and caviar on every floor. The embassy Is four stories high.
