PRESS TO TAKE Up
RA|NEY NEWSBAN
Will Consider Answer to Re-
fusaI to Give Speech
transcripts.
By the Associated Press.

by tIc hSSOCldteO FIcSS-
The Standing Committee of Cor
respondents will meet early this week
to consider the ruling by Speaker
Rainey barring the press from OBJ
tanning official transcripts of speeches
made in the House
Rainey ruled Friday that newspaper
men might not be provided with ac-
counts of the proceedings of the House
without the consent Of members who
made the remarks. In doing this. he
revoked a ruling by the late Speaker
Longworth which permitted steno-
graphic reports of proceedings to be
sent into the press gallery.
The Speaker made the ruling at the
request of Representative Cannon
Democrat, Missouri. The previous day
Cannon had criticized his fellow
Representative, Cochran, Democrat,
Missouri. and a transcript of his re-
marks were sent to the press gallery
before he had an opportunity to alter
them.
Libels Often Withdrawn.
Under the immunity from prosecu-
ton for statements they make in the
House, Representatives sometimes
make libelous declarations about in
dividuals and then delete them before
the remarks go into the Congressional
Record.
They obtain consent Of the House
to revise and extend" their remarks
and oftentimes insert things they did
not say and eliminate things they
did say.
Some mmebers withhold their
speeches for several days to revamp
them before letting them 60 into the
permanent record.
G. o. p. Favors Press.
A number of Republican members
yesterday said they would favor turn
ing over blanket consent to newspaper
men to use their uncorrected remarks
Representative Smell of New York
the Republican leader, said the rul-
ing of Speaker Rainey amounts to a
censorship of the press and it is q
dirty trick.
The people of the country ought
to know about it," Smell said. The
Democrats are now trying to dictate
what the press saws about them"

ubdebutante Set
Arranging Calendar
For Winter Season
Young Women Evidence
Serious and Worthwhile
Plans for Future.

While the social spotlight will be
focused brilliantly on the young
women who will make their formal
debuts during the coming Autumn
and Winter season, there is small
group that will share the center of
the stage at least during the holiday
season, for already several festivi-
ties, arranged especially for the sub
debutante set, are in the off1ng.
With another year of study on her
calendar the subdebutante eagerly
anticipates the year she will take her
place in society. The debutantes
promised for the 1856 season are
unusually interesting and have more
than just desires to be society butter
flies. They are, for the most, gifted
young women with serious and worth
while plans for their futures. Many
have signifled their plans of further
ing their accomplishments during
their debut years.
A talented young musician in the
Subdebutante ranks is Miss Bette
Smallwood Hartz, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Barge Llewelyn Hartz of
A506SAAAOOA, NAAs 4NOG OA1lJ 10 DIlC
accomplished pianist, but has a truly
lovely voice. A student at Gunton
Hall, from where she will graduate
next June, she is prominent in dra-
matics. She has had the lead in
many of the most successful of anna
teur performances. The future bud,
who has the most enhancing blue
prav eveS with blond hoir which o,,rlc
in a fetching fashion, is a lover of
the outdoors. She is graceful
swimmer, apt on the tennis court and
drives her own car. While she plays
an excellent hand of bridge, this is
the pastime of which she is least fond.
The prospective bud comes from pioneer
families of this country, her grand
father, the late Edward Smallwood,
being the founder of one of the first
pulp factories. Washington has an
other debutante to look forward to.
