There's Jo-
Seph P. Ken
nedy, CHI air
man of one Helen Essary
the most ticklish enterprises of
the present Government, the
Security and Exchange Com
mission (he's going to tell the
men on Wall Street what 70 do
and make them like it,, who
works like a dog at his job, but
has a wicked sense of humor
about himself. "
Not long ago Mr.. Kennedy
was preparing his first speech.
The maiden oratorical effort of
his lifetime. For days and
days he labored at his manu-
script. His is about the only
Government commission with.
out publicity bureau or a
ghost writer. After his work
downtown was over, he sat at
night in the soundproof study
Of Marwood, the Martin estate
he has rented, with his friend
and adviser, Eddie Moore, at his
elbow, and struggled-and
struggled.
At the end of a week OF an
guish, during which Mr.. Ken
needy had lost five pounds, he
thought he had his speech
ready. However, he submitted
it to an expert for approval.
The expert said:
'Do you want the truth?"
Said the car of Wall Street,
rather family:
Certainly"
"The speech is lousy. Do it
over again!"
Mr.. Kennedy is the despair
Of Washington hostesses. Here
he is, a new, delightful, and
fearfully important lion, who
would roar so amusingly if
he could be induced to appear
at a party. But he refuses to
accept invitations. He's at his
office at half past seven in the
} morning. Often works until
midnight. He says he simply
can't go sizzling about and feel
up to his job the next day.
Moreover, he drinks practically
nothing, doesn't smoke. And
has a tall glass of milk with
his dinner.
Not only does Mr.. Kennedy
refuse to go to parties, but he
thinks maybe he won't give one
for a long time. Such a pity!
''Marwood'' is simply crying for
excitement.
It's practically a palazzo. At
least a Florentine Villa DIST
with dozens of rooms, big the
ster hung IN rust-colored drap-
cries, red carpeted marble
stairways, the Potomac twisting
and turning at its feet, and the
roar of Great Falls coming
over it's tree tops.
It's a marvellous retreat, how.
ever, for harassed nerves. The
bears and bulls of Wall Street
} probably will have a pleasanter
future because of its repose.
Almost every week, Mr.. Ken
needy flies to New York to see
the lovely Mrs. Kennedy and
their nine children. OTIS really
insulting the way washington"
ians commute to New York,
nowadaysO Mrs. Kennedy has
lust sailed for a short trip to
Europe. Five of the Kennedy
children are away at school.
Three are attending school from
home. One is too young for a
scholastic life.
The Polish Embassy is taking
special pride in the Congress
Of the National Aeronautic AS
ISOLATION. which begins here on
Saturday and continues until
Thursday. The Polish AmbaS'
sador, Stanislaw Patek, will en-"
terrain at the Embassy Mon

Othe meeting.
Poland, you see, has been dis
tinguiShing herself in aviation.
B This year Polish aviators won
first and second place in the
James Gordon Bennett Balloon
Race at Warsaw. Last year the
race began at Chicago and a
Polish flier was the victor.
A Polish aviator won the air.
plane race for the European
Challenge Cup this year at
Warsaw, and two years ago at
Berlin.
Twenty.one nations besides
the United States, which is
holding the conference this
year for the first time, are
