And now a Jump Down East.
To the Saga of the Salmon
Or
Presidential Dates with Big
Maine Fish.
Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock
Mr.. Roosevelt had an engagement
with a sixteen pound salmon from
Maine and also with Representa-
tive Ralph o. Brewster. a Republt'
can from the Penobscot Bay Dis
trict. s.-..
Representative Brewster, on be
half Of his native State, stood be-
fore seven cameras. Offered the
biggest salmon of the Maine
spring to the White House.
Secretary Marvin w. Mcintyre,
on behalf of the President Of the
United States, received the fish
with q smile. And Representative
Brewster no doubt, felt liberal.
For it isn't the present Repub
1ican tendency to bear gifts to
1900 Pennsylvania Ave. Present
ing the first salmon of the Bangor
Pool to the President, however,
is an annual Maine fishing Gus
tim.
This year the propaganda hit q
bump. An anti-New Dealer caught
the first Bangor salmon and gave
a party.
Newspapers, amused, wrote:
&c. o. P. Eat Own Salmon" Rep.
resentative Brewster thought this
heresy bad for his State. He was
wondering how to make that fish
dinner seem less partisan when
heaven and another fisherman
interviewed.
A choice salmon, a 16-pound
one, the biggest catch of any sea.
son, was discovered by the Maine
Fish and Game Association.
Representative Brewster wired
the Association to send the fish
to Washington Immediately. The
honor Of Maine was saved.
Another year the Bangor sal
mon likewise had Presidential
difficulty. It reached the White
House kitchen unheralded and
the cook cut its head off. Former
Representative Snow sewed the
head back on and had President
Hoover hold the fish upside down
for the cameras.

FISHING NOTES
BY HELEN ESSARY

Richard w. Leche, Governor.
elect of Louisiana, is big, slow
moving and soft-talking.
He is at the Mayflower now get
ting acquainted with washington,
looking in on the Rivers and Har-
bors meeting and telling every
body what a fine fellow Huey
Long was.
Dick Leche, as they call Huey's
successor down in "Loozi-anna"
has a personality quite different
from that of the late Senator.
He's over six feet tall. Has a lot
Of brown hair, big innocent look
ing eyes and superb calm.
He weighs every word as he
speaks and is modest and Charm
ing.
He says he doesn't want to have
any part in national government.
He's for "Loozi-anna" first and
last. He wants the State to do
her share and also get her share.
He likes washington a lot. It
certainly is a beautiful city. The
people here are mighty fine and
smart. But he's going to grab the
first train he can that will take
him back home where people
know how to live.

To Be Shown Here

The first Washington exhibition

New York Avenue, May 2 to

The Washington times., 1936-04-29

I had a pleasant rambling talk
with Governor.elect Leche. But !
found out during his praise Of
easy Southern ways that he knew
his State, it's manufactures, its
oil wells and sulphur mines. its
live oak trees. its game preserves,
It's history-and its people.
Before Dick Leche was elected
to the governorship, which office
he is to assume within q few
weeks, he campaigned for seven
successive weeks and averaged
eight speeches every day. He
raced through the State, followed
and preceded by sound trucks
with loud speaker equipment. A
sound truck. by the wy, seems
to be the calliope of the political
circus.
One Of Governor-elect Leche's
particular plans for Louisiana is
the development of the State
University. He has started archi'
tects at work on a new law
school that will be an exact copy
of the United States Supreme
Court Building in washington.
The Washington times., 1936-04-29

I told the Governorelect tnaC ]
was interested in what Louisiana
women were doing in politics. He
said proudly:
"We've got two mighty fire
ladies in public office right now.
One is Mrs. Huey Long. The
other lady was chosen for the
State Senate to fill the term of
her late husband. The ladies
down our way don't want to run
for public office themselves.
When somebody gives them a
place in compliment to their
huSbandS-that's different"

Phil Furr last night at Turner's

him to show his pattycake punching
elsewhere in the future.
Furr, who probably will be matched
with Tony Canzoneri, world light
weight champion, in an over-the-
weight encounter at New York on
March 80, boosted his ring prestige
little by trouncing Serrian.
Mickey. who would take some time
to punch his way out of paper bag,
could make any average boxer re-
semble a punch-drunk palooka with
his clinching style, which proves about
as thrilling as a salary cut.
Even those fans who, for some un-
known reason, rise to send crescendo
of booes toward Fur following every
bout will concede that Phil is a
pleasing battler when forced to fight.
Maintaining a slow pace through
out, Furr and Serrian flashed sporadic
bursts of clever infighting which
failed, however, to inspire anything
more than a slow, rhythmic hand
clapping from the rather bored au-

n YEW YORK, March 10.-Gregory
nj Mangin's wish today was to
" retain the mems national in
a. door tennis championship as
easily as Marjorie Gladman Van
Ryn won the women's title last night.
Mrs. Van Ryn, youthful wife Of the
Davis Cup internationalist and rank
ed fifth in the Nation, defeated For
mer Champion Norma Taubele in
straight sets, Ga, 6-3. Mangin is
scheduled to defend his thrice-won
crown tonight against Leonard Hart
man, former Columbia University
basket ball star.
For one who had never played on
the tournament for the experience 1t
offered, "Midge" Van Ryn did right
well for herself. OF artificial light
ing and the high bounce of the ball
on the hard surface, Mrs. Van Ryn
said she played her f1rst two matches
by instinct"
Doesn't Lose q Set.
INSTINCT or not. she breezed
through the championship with
out dropping set and on once,
against Millicent Hirsh in the semi
final last Saturday, was she forced
to deuced set She succeeds Jane
Sharp of Pasadena. Calf, who turned
professional last year.
The Van lsyns have been married
almost six years and Mrs. Van Ryn
believes tennis and marriage blend
beautifully"
"It's perfect prescription to insure
marital bliss" smiled Mrs. Van Ryn.
Tournament tennis separates us q
couple Of weeks in year. and there's
no harm In that Johnny wouldn't
want me to stop playing tennis and I
wouldn't want hm to-"
1t is likely, however, the Van Ryns
will not be separated next Summer.
"Midge" is slated for a trip to Eng
land with the American Wightman
Cup team and Johnny probably will
60 across with the Davis Cup team
If the United States defeats Australia
in the anticipated North American
zone final.
Mangin Is OF Form.
JUDGING by his performance last
night with Van Ryn, Mangin will
have to be on his toes tonight to turn
back the challenge from Hartman.
In losing to Karle Schroeder of Sweden
and Gilbert Hall in the doubles final,
Mangin lacked his customary keenness
and his cannonading service was er-
rant. Hartman, despite his locked
wrist and general unorthodoxy, is 8
dangerous opponent.
After the singles final, Mangin will
pair with Mrs. Van Ryn in the mixed
doubles final against Nine. Sylvia
