Dine With Foe of

Political Washington today was still
specializing on the revelation that
two Roosevelt aides had been guests
at hotel dinner party along with an
enemy of one of the leading admin

The two aides are Marvin H. Nc
Intyre, a presidential secretary, and
L. w. Chip" Robert, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury.

week end, dismissed the event with a
short statement last night in which

The Roosevelt secretary surprised
Cnesley w. Jurney, sergeant at
arms, stalking Shoreham Hotel cor
ridors in search of Howard C. Hop
son. by stepping forth from the rooms
of Robinson with Robinson, Robert
and Anon Carter, Fort Worth, Tex,
publisher.
Carter is said to have demanded
the story be kept out of the papers

Jurney, accompanied by newspaper
men and others. started to walk down
the corridor. To his amazement, from
another door OF the elaborate Rob
inson suite, appeared Mcintyre and
Robert.
Story Is Published.
This was Wednesday night. Yes
terday morning the story was pub
lished in Chicago. Yesterday after
noon it appeared in a New York
paper. BY midafternoon the tale
was the leading piece of converse
ton in downtown Washington.
Late in the day Mcintyre himself
was approached by newspaper men al
the White House for his own version
OF the affair. He at first spoke with
some freedom, then dictated this short
! statement:

to do with efforts to suppress the story
and declared he told one or two press
association men during the evening
substantially what he said last night.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Machine Work Done by
Hand in Senate Tax
Bill Action.
BY PAUL MALLON,


TINE fastest backward political
f1ip-fiop on record, bar none,
was that of President Roose-
L velt's tax leaders in the Senate.
One day they were for the La Toilette
bill to soak everybody and the next
they voted for the opposite scheme,
which would hardly dampen any one.
The charge is being made that Mr..
Roosevelt engineered the switch. Also
that the means and groans of Sena-
tors Borah and Norris caused the La
Toilette plan to be dropped.
These suspicious are plausible.
There may be something in them.
But what actually happened was this
A gentleman tDho happened to
be peeking in the ,Dindop at the
secret session OF the Finance
Committee noticed that the La
Toilette plan iDas approved By
suspic,ously informal method.
Senators did not tote officially as
they usually do. but merely raised
their hands in approval or dis
approval, thus leaving no record
OF hoW they Uoted.
10 Hands Counted.
But far more amazing was the fact
that the chairman counted 10 ands
voting, whereas the window peeker
could plainly see only about a dozen
Senators were present snd none of
them voted with both hands.
The explanation apparently is that
Chairman Pat Harrison had proxies
for several absent hands in his pocket,
and he counted them. The absen-
tees authorized Mr.. Harrison to vote
them, but when they read in the
newspapers what had been done they
