The Washington times., 1934-01-27

These, how Karl w. COrby
ever, were >awakended yesterday
with announcement in this col
umn that the board of COVER
nors Of the club was to meet.
Mr.. Corby, it seems, flung"
quite party for the boys back
in the days when he was just
an engenue chief executive of the
club, and the members now be-
ieve he should go out in a blaze
Of glory of equal intensity.
The conspiracy to force Mr..
Corby's hand and make him the
magnificent host again was
Matched today by a group which
plans to have a delegation call
on him and make a formal de-
mand that he produce.
Contract bridge has its addicts
at the Washington Stock Ex-
change, but unfortunately, so far
as discovered, there are only
three members in the socalled
expert class.
They are James M. johnson, of
the James M. johnson Company;
James H. Lemon, of the same out
fit, and Myles II. Quail, Of Y.
E. Booker & Co.
Mr.. Lemon was one of the re-
cent additions to the exchange
membership, and brought the
bridge-expert class to a complete
threesome. Now to fill up the
table, the exchange is looking for
fourth.
Chris j. Gockeler, president of
the exchange, said:
eve may have such a mem
ber, that is, a fourth, but SO
far, we don't know about it.
If we find him, or he becomes
a member, we will be in a posi-
tiOn to put our own official
bridge team in local and maybe
national tournaments"
incidentally the recent addi-
ton of Mr.. Lemon and three
other members of the exchange
roster left several vacancies in
the membership.
These, according to Mr.. Cooke
Ter, are due to the fact that
many estates of late members
have not yet been settled.
Bob" Carpenter, one of the Gus
toners men at Fenner & Bean,
is having his first taste of jury
service.
He is member of the January
Grand Jury of the District Of Co.
lumbia Supreme Court and is be-
ing forced to absent himself from
his familiar duties of talking
"stock" and listen instead to peo-
pie tell him about the Capitals
crimes.
Carpenter says that selling stocks
is much easier work than being a
juror. incidentally, the pay for
the latter task is about on CWA
parity.
C. Shelton Buchanan, Joseph c.
Sheehy, Alexander McCook Dun
lop and Pierce MarSton, who have
been associated for some time
with Goodbody & Co., which closed
its local office in the Washington
Building today will join the staff
of Hemphill, Noyes & Co. on Mon
day.
Chester Lockwood and Thomas
j. Mangan, jr., will continue as
co-managers of Hemphill, NoyeS
& Co., which plans an immediate
expansion of quarters in the Shore
ham Building to accommodate the
customers who are going there
from the Goodbody establishment.
In addition, Hemphill, NoyeS &
Co. will add new facilities and
board room.
Washington bankers today were
specializing as to what local men,
if any, would be called when the
National Recovery Administration
holds its hearings on the national
banking code, February Is.
Opinion had it that if any local
men were called, Robert v. Flem-
ing, president of the Riggs Ma
tional Bank, would be numbered
in the group-in fact, would be
the first.
John D. Mothershead, CONAN
ager of Fenner & Beane, an
nounced that his organization has
opened a new office in London at
! Thorgmorton st. The organiza-
tion has maintained two offices
in Great Britain's capital for sew
eral years.
