WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

O'Day is Westchester County politi-
cal and social leader and intimate
friend of Mrs. Roosevelt Miss Couch
is a Rockland County lawyer. secre-
tary to a Supreme Court justice, and
director of the Women's National
Republican Club. Another phenom-
enon presented by the 1884 campaign
in New York is that for the first time
in American politics candidates who
are both of Jewish origin are rivals
for the high Office Of Governor, the in
cumbent Herbert Lehman, Democrat,
and Robert Moses, Republican.
OF all the years in Franklin D.
Roosevelt's life, 1892 looms foremost.
Has that anything to do with the fact
that 80 is his White House telephone
extension number?
X
From a constituent Of these OBJ
servationS comes the reminder,
apropos President Roosevelt's recent
radio use of England" instead of
Great Britain" that Americans are
addicted to another politico-geo-
graphical bIunder in referring to Hol-
land, when they mean the Neither
lands. Russia" too, continues to be
in vogue here, although the name of
the former CZariSt realm has ceased to
exist. The Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics is now its title That's too
long a term to use for ordinary pur-
poses. and Soviet Union is generally
approved. Russia" is distinctly
wrong and has entirely faded from
official nomenclature.
Five class A Jobs are waiting to be
filled by presidential appointment.
They are the dictatorship of the bud
get, the governorship of the Federal
Reserve Board, Republican vacancy
on the Reconstruction Finance Corp,
the miniSterShip to the Irish Free
State, and the chiefship of the gen.
eral staff of the Army. The name
of applicants and aspirants for these
various plums is legion. Appoint
ments are expected before snow flies,
or sooner.
New honors have befallen Mrs.
Ruth Bryan Owen. At the Chicago
Worlds Fair last week, she reviewed
soldiers, sailors and Marines sta
toned there, while cannon roared a
15-gun salute. With the exception of
Secretary of Labor Perkins, the Min
lister of Denmark is said to be the only
American woman ever to have had
such military respects paid her. In
embarking upon her Chautauqua tour,
Mrs. Owen appears as a chip of the
old block. Her father, William Jen-
nings Bryan, stirred up Nationwide
discussion when he returned to the
Chautauqua platform after becoming
Secretary of State. Now MS gifted
daughter, while also in State Depart
ment service, follows suit Mrs. owen
has written a text book on public
speaking and conducted a course In it
at a Florida university.

Publishers of Donald r. Richberg's
1922 novel, "a Man of Purpose"
about to be reissued, announce that
it's a story Of "a fighting lawyer who
wages relentless war against the
vested interests, and parallels the au-
thors own picturesque career in pol
itics and business both before and
since its writing" Richberg says this
photographed claim is a bit at odds
with the fact that "A Man of Pur-
pose" winds up by becoming Governor
OF his State and going to jail.

himself from succession Of swift left
