Trying as we do to keep up
with the Right People it hurts
to realize that not only have we
never been asked to one of Mr..
Bernard B. RobinSon's little
Gas parties-we don't even
know Mr.. Robinson.
John G.. Winant, Chairman
of the new Social Security Bill,
is more New Dealish than Mr..
Roosevelt. So a New England
friend says.
The former governor of New
Hampshire is the most progress
Sive Republican in his state.
Moreover he's the most up-and-
coming member of the G.. o. P.
that ever came out of the East,
so we understand.
The Republicans in his own
state have disapproved of his
theories. Much as the Demo
Gratis Of New York looked ask
ance (and still do, for that
matter) at F. D. R.
Chairman Winant, frequently
mentioned as a Republican can
didate for President, has his
energies and heart centered on
Social Security.
Personally, we hear former

to sudden appreciative smiles.
Has none of the professional
politicians swank and thun-

dark hair and eyes and ag.
gresSive eyebrows like Ad-
miral Cary Grayson.
He is forty-six years old and
has string of earned and
honorary degrees.
Mrs. Winant has one Of the
most famous kennels in Amer
lea. She spends much time in
Europe buying rare dogs.
Notes on a recent trip to
Manhattan:
New York is so anti-Ad-
mmistration that it is blaming
the threatening Ethiopian war
on Mr.. Roosevelt.
Seen from the top Of a sew
enteen7story hotel, green roof
gardens are like oases in a
desert of grey walls.
Taxicabs, Alaska seal coats,
dry Martins and friends from
the provinces are high. Gain
of 117s over 1884 quotations.
Madison Avenue is being re-
paved. It takes two or three
weeks to get across town.
In conversation with Mr.. Leon
Krabtoskichici, New York taxi
driver, following Mrs. Roose-
velt's In Defense of Curiosity"
we ask:
"How do you people up here

Washington"

"Can 1 help yOu?"
"Help me! I'm the life guard.
I came out to save you, you big

The man sputtered. Turned
and swan towards shore.
Ruth Lockett, one of the most
attractive young things in poll
tics (She's bound to go a long
way), also writes verse On a

Mr.. and Mrs. Malcolm Matheson
