The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-02-02

American banks were sold abroad. Illinois tousle- headed Republican Representa-. tive Everett M. Dirksen takes time out from his congressional duties to write a Washington column of social notes and chit chat for his hometown paper. NEW SOCIAL DEAD
 The New Deal, literally, is that for social Washington as well as for the forgotten man. Residential circles which for the the most part have been roundly ignored by White House incum- bents since the days of William Howard Taft, again are recog- nized. All perons who leave cards at the White House in the course of the winter social sea- son are invited to one of several afternoon affairs in the executive mansion, and those of any note are invited, as well, to some evening reception. Half the law- yers in Washington, for ex- ample, were invited to the an- nual reception for the Judiciary. Senator Schwellenbach of Washington, and his predeces- sor, Senator Clarence Dill, went to the same high school to- gether, Schwellenbach following Dilps career. Dill opposed Schwellenbach in the primaries in favor of an old personal friend, but when schwellenbach got the nomination, Dill gave him full support.
 AGGRIEvED
 Senate progressives privately are unified over the failure of the president to consult them on his legislative projects. Though the fact has been generally over looked, he has not called them in on any of the measures he has sent so far to congress. In senate cloakrooms there has been considerable comment over his complete disregard of Sena- tor George Norris in framing legislation regulating holding companies. In the past Norris has been one of his chief advis- CTS on utility measures. President Glenn Frank of the University of Wisconsin again is taking pot shot at the admin istration. Last summer he re- fused to extend the leave of Lloyd Garrison, chairman of the national labor relations board. Now he is insisting that Edwin E. Witte, executive director of the presidents committee on economic security, return to his ester. Witte will obey Franks orders until the security bill is passed, after which he probably will be given a permanent job in directing its operation.
 SOVIET PROTOCOL
 Russian Ambassador Troyan- ovsky, already famous for staging the most brilliantly capitalistic parties in Washing ton diplomatic circles, now rec yeals himself as the most metic- ulous observer of diplomatic decorum. Upon his return from Moscow he was in Washington only a few hours before his card was on the desk of each state department official upon whom he Is supposed to call. His em- bassy keeps sharp tab on all names who fail to acknowledge invitations to embassy functions, and upon all who fail to pay the usual "party call" after accept ing Soviet hospitality. All members of the Soviet stan inci- dentally, are very temperate in their habits, despite their tFadi- tional taste for vodka in preference to other alcoholic beverages. With de luxe caviar in vast bowls, the vodka flows generously at all embassy func- tions. But visitors usually try 1t only once. It is coIorless grain alcohol. Guests inc variabiy have a tough time acc customing themselves to eating caviar a Ia Russo. Accustomed to American prices, they smear thin layer on crackeE then nibble. The Russiang take Q saucer, put three or four heap ing tablespoons of caviar on t, then eat 1t straight as the Kan. kee eats ice cream.
