GOOD AFTERNOON

The end will come when a con.
gressional committee is appointed
to investigate the activities of
Congressional committees.
Evening star., 1935-05-14

the bonus rush is the largest Wash
ington ever had, but similar situa-
tions in which emergency measures
had to be adopted, have been frequent
since the Roosevelt administration
began.
Nothing comparable ever occurred
during the Hoover, Coolidge or Hard
ing administrations, although each OF
the last three Presidents kept the
White House telegraph Office busy.
The series of rush periods began
within an hour after President Roose-
vslt's inaugural address.
There were those who desired to
congratulate him on his somewhat
startling speech. Before the messages
| of felicitation could be cleared by the
two companies the bank holiday set
the wires to buzzing and the rush was
on for days.
Again when the President made his
first radio "fireside chat" he invited
those about to lose their homes or
farms to wire him, or to wire the
Farm Credit Administration or the
Home Owners Loan Corp, and the
public took him at his word.
Similar situations arose when all

President ROOsereIt
Id was called into the Treasury

gold was called into the Treasury.
Next to the bonus bill" Ayers said.
"the biggest rush of business probably
was when the Senate was considering
the World Court ratification"
Dowd, however, believes the bank
holiday rush was second, for then
there we're thousands upon thousands
who sent kilograms and waited for the
transfer of funds.
Ayers explained how the Western
Union meets such a situation.
I'VE know that Washington is the
most important capital in the world
and that its business Is extremely
important" he said, consequently we
are organized to handle any overflow
that may take place
so far as physical equipment is
concerned, we have never reached our
capacity. Man power has been the
problem. So we have a reserve in
Philadelphia, Baltimore. Richmond
and Pittsburgh. Men at all these
cities have only TO get the call and
transportation is ready.
In the present case, for instance.
the rush began at night, after the
country learned the Senate had passed
the bill. The White House wires took
everything they could. Then we
turned to our multiplex machines
the ones We use for most Of our busi-
ness Next we turned to the simplex
machines. The multiplex machines
can handle four messages in and four
out at one time. The simplex takes
only one message each way.
"At last we turned to Morse; always
the old reliable that we can't get
along without.
when everything was buSy-or at
least everything we had people to
handle-we Immediately planned for
their relief. BY the time the opera
tore had finished their regular tour
of duty. relief was here from Balti-
more, Richmond and Philadelphia
and took their places in the morning
When they got to the end of their
day the Pittsburgh unit was here to
carry on, so there was no interruption
at all in the service"
Meanwhile" Ayers continued, "the
messages had to be delivered. Coming
in at the rate of from 5000 to 1000
per hour. each messenger was given
a bigger number of messages to carry
Before the first could reach the White
House, a second and third would be
under way" He declined to say how
many messengers had to be added. but
said the number was more than 20
per cent" of the normal staff.
At Postal, Dowd said, when the
automatic machines were at their peak
the extra board" of operators was
called in to handle the overflow by
Morse wire
During the bank holiday" Dowd
said, I'VE made a record in collec!
business. But when the President
invited those distress kilograms he
got lot of 'em collect, too."
But the White House, it was learn
ed, was not out of pocket. Collect mes
sages in answer to the "fireside chat
were referred either to the Home
Owners Loan Corp. or the Farm
Credit Administration. These agencies
held the bag"

"The other letter from Mr.. Farley

short paragraph reading as follows:
"'The matter is in allegiance. Con-

"Deponent knows that this letter
pertains to the Vesey street post Office.
"Along about this time Maj. Stevens,
the Washington representative Of
James Stewart & Co., was in the
office In connection with the Federal
investigators, and was very busy run
ming from one part Of the office to
another to tell them what this file
or the other file might contain and
whether 1t should be supplied or not

to remove from It's files certain papers

Memory Too Good"
FINALLY, on November 90, 1884, de.
ponent was discharged. and the only
statement ever given to her was by
her successor, who told her that your
memory is too good
"Deponent started In with the said
company, working for $40 per week
and rose to a salary of $3.50 per
month, which. after the general Of
fees had taken two cuts In salary,
was reduced to $3.50 per month.
mo complaint was ever made
against her services until the trouble
came up over the Federal investiga-
ton, and when that arose one of the
vice presidents, Mr.. Lohmann, who
handled none Of the Government
work, but who was a vice president of
the company, protested that deponent
had never failed to be able to secure
anything from the flies that was
needed, but as soon as the court house
work had been completed. and the
work of removing certain papers from
the files, pertaining to the same, and
to other work, deponent was dis
missed.
"Deponent can state that Helen
Humphreys was so close in the con-
| fidence of the Stewarts that she was
invited to their most intimate affairs
including their funerals and theil
weddings, and drew a salary. she
thinks, of about $63 a week.

pear before any committee to give thi'

That message, or one with that
meaning. has come to Washington by
telegraph close to $1,000 times since
the Patman bonus bill came up be-
fore the Senate.
At the peak. kilograms reached
Washington at the rate of 4.500 per
hour over the combined facilities of
the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph Companies.
Meanwhile normal telegraphic busi-
ness continued without interruption.
The messages began when organ
ized veterans began bombarding mem
bers Of the Senate whose attitude
either was doubtful or definitely op-
posed to the Patman bill. The peak
was reached Friday and Saturday,
when the White House was flooded.
Telegraphic History Made.
According to local officials Of the
two companies virtually every Western
Union and Postal station in the United
States handled the message in some
form-and all Of them had to be de-
livered through the bottle neck OF
the National Capital.
Altogether. local telegraphic history
was made, for the volume Of business
was the largest ever handled in so
short a period by each OF the two
companies.
Only once, it was recalled by Thomas
P. Dowd, superintendent Of Postal
was it approached. That was in the
Fall Of 1914. two and a half years
before the United States entered the
World War. The German-Americans,
operating chiefly through their then
widespread German American Clubs,
adopted the telegraphic method of Pc
titioning Congress not to declare war
on their Fatherland.
President Gets $4,000.
In the present instance, however,
President Roosevelt alone has re-
ceived approximately $4,000 mes
sages - virtually all with the same
meaning Before that the 96 members
of the Senate distributed among them
some 40 900 kilograms of similar ilk.

My kitchen--green and white linoleuca on the door; green and white checked curtains at the windows; cream walls, ornamented only by the bronze cooking utensils I coi- lected in France-makes an at tractive stage drop for Patsy's frs. public appearance. On the green chairs are seated ten or twelve of her dolls. Patsy herself, i'll a candy striped apron froclz, is teach ing them how to cook.

 That's fine, Aunt Bee. Go inside and rest. It's most ready for you. Mentally 1 warn my digestive ap- paratus of the shock that is in store for it. But it would take more than an attacbk of indiges- ton to keep me from attending Patsy's luncheon.

butter and piled into hot tartlet crusts with the poached egg On ton and a coaing of Mongroise sauce all around. As a substitute for that sauce you might use a rich cream sauce seasoned with onion finely minced and softened with butter.
 A simpler recipe-but an excel- lent luncheon dish-makes use Of freshly baked potato instead of toast or tartlet crusts. Scoop out the potato meat, whip it up with cream and butter, pepper and salt, and refine the shell. Inc this drop the poached egg: coat with a cream sauce well seasoned. with Parmesan cheese and chopped sauted mushrooms. Place under the salamander to glaze quickly.
 We sometimes serve poached eggs upon giant grilled mushrooms and garnish with a pink shrimp sauce. Or on croutons of bread coated with curry sauce and sprinkled heavily with julienne of chicken and sauted mushrooms (that is to say, finely shredded chicken and mGshrooms).
 Again a poached or molded egg will be served in croustade, the egg coated one-half with tomato sauce and half with cream sauce chopped parsley sprinklcd over tho tomato side and chopped sauted mushrooms (the chef would use truffles) on the other side. That is decorative dish, as you may well imagine.

Very nice, too, to dress the poached or mold ed egg upon croustade half filled with salmon puree. and coat with Hollandaised sauce. Or on fried croutons, the egg coated with a rich cream sauce containing dice of tongue, cooked chicken ana mushrooms. and the base sur rounded vjth tomato purec.
 All of these recipes, you see, take the poached egg quite out of it's commonplace groove and give 1t both novelty and distinction.

 The cooking process is as fol. lows: For poached recipes, break the eggs in boiling water to which salt and vinegar to taste have been added. Cook 2h minutes, and scoop out. Plunge into cold water to firm the whites, and remove at once.

 Use a very sharp knife for the cutting of fruit cake. Dipping the knife In boiling water just before using helps to make fl cut quickly and evenly. Fruit cake lightly steamed and served with hard or wine sauce ie a good substitute for plum pudding. by the way.
 It hardly pays to buy unshelled nuts In these days when shelled nuts are so perfectly protected by . waxed paper. cellophane and tin containers. Relatively speaking. they are almost as cheap as those we buy and crack ourselves.
 To give the breakfast grapefruit a different flavor, pour over the fruit 3 tablespoons of strained honey about a half hour before serving. Or you may prepare the fruit the night before.
 When buying most fish there is 50 much waste in the form of bones, fine and skin that 1t is both more satisfactory and economical: to buy the tjIlets only. Two pop ular cuts of fish are the fillcts. taken from the two sides of the fish. and the steaks, cut in one- inch slices crosswise of the fish. In both cases the fish is freed of most of the bones and other waste material; sometimes even the skin. ' Put little bit of baking powder just a little bit, of course-inro the seasoned four used for coating sliced tomatoes you intend to fry. It will produce delicious fluffy crust. Observe the same rule for fried oysters.
