To the folks back home, a new
member of Congress is big shot,"
He is an outstanding figure. He is
invited to all elite social affairs. He
is called upon to speak at all i'm

The bands play wherever he goes. The
school children sing his praises and
mothers tell their sons to try and
follow in his footsteps. In other words
he lives in fairy book world.
But in Washington, it's a different
story. His social standing gives way
to the Senator, the cabinet ofhcer and
the diplomat. He's just another Con-
gresham. He's what the late Senator
Caraway of Arkansas described as a
"popgun."

New members who are wise have

Finis J. Garrett. who represented
Tennessee in the House from the
Fifty-ninth to the Seventieth Con-
gres, inclusive. For three sessions he
was the minority leader, rising rap
idly in congressional ranks s-sause
he was regarded as an astute and
smart politician.
Garrett gained that reputation be-
cause he sat through one entire ses-
sion without making a speech. He
was "seen and not heard" He just
sat in his chair. listened to the de-
bate-oftentimes monotonous and irk-
some-but said nothing.
One day Speaker Champ Clark
called a group of his lieutenants aside
and said:

thing"
1t wasn't long before Garrett be-
gan to receive important committee
assignments, which ultimately led him
to the minority leadership.

By the Associated Press.
Important changes in the dlSnllers
code will be proposed by Joseph H,
Choate, ir., director of the Federal
Alcohol Control Administration, at a
hearing here March %.
The amendments are intended to
permit operation of distillerieS in
states which recently have approved
the repeal amendment, including West
Virginia, wyoming, Maine, South Da-
kota and Arkansas.
Many protests have been heard by
the F. A. C. A. from corn and wheat
belts, because States which recently
Joined legal vets did not have distil-
leries. The F. A. c. A. said almost all
the industry now is located east of
the Mississippi River.
The changes would permit Choate
to issue permits to all qualified appli-
Cants.
They also would permit expansion
of the distilling industry into present
dry States as they make liquor legal.
These are Alabama, Georgia, Kansas,
Mississippi, North Carolina, North
Dakota, New Hampshire, Oklahoma,
Nebraska. Tennessee and Texas. Leg
islatures in several of these States now
are acting on liquor measures.
The distilling industry now Is CEN
tralized in Illinois, Kentucky. Penn
sylvania and Maryland, with some
activity in Indiana.
Today 486 F. A. C, A. permits had
been issued, although 55 of these per-
nit holders had no plants and 50 were
to warehouses. Brandy permits to-
tailed 1863: 8 were for brandy and other

he's been mixing around trying to
learn; trying to do good job. Frank
ly, however, he admits he's still in a
daze.
Quinn Just doesn't understand the
strange quirks in the human mind.
He hadn't been in Congress long
when q constituent wrote and urged
him to have his son appointed to the
Naval Academy.
That would have been all right"
he said, except the boy had never
seen q river. The ocean to him was
Just a blue spot on the map. What
kind of sailor do you think ne would
make?"
Even worse, Quinn said, was a re-
quest from a Pennsylvania Quaker,
whose scruples against war were well
known. for an appointment for his son
at West Point.
The next thing that shook Quinn's
equilibrium was request from a man
in Western Pennsylvania for infor-
nation Of the culture of English wal
nuts. I've lived in Pennsylvania for
years." he said, ''and know that
English walnuts cannot be raised in
the western part of the State because
of climatic conditions"
Then there's the case of a woman
who wrote, for information on the
care of infants, and at the same time
suggested that Quinn devote his time
and energy to birth-control legisla-
ton.
And man in his district, who had
failed to pay his gas and electric bills
for many months, demanded that
Quinn use his influence to have Con-
greSs provide heavier tax on utility
corporations.
But the blow that Quinn will never
forget while he Is In Congress Is this:
