Senator Phoebus was against Gov.
Nice before the primary elections, and
for months after the Governor was
elected he was the Governors most
bitter critic"
He charged that:
First, Mrs. Phoebus did not need
the job; second, Senator Phoebus has
not been loyal to the administration;
third. there are SO many deserving
Republicans needing Jobs :
that to pass them by is anything but
showing appreciation for the service

rFA woman is nominated for Presi-
dent on the Democratic ticket
about 80 Summers hence, she
i probably will be Edna Mae Nance,
pretty red-headed cousin of Vice
President John Nance Garner.
The young lady from Texas is su-
pervisor of the stenographic pool OF

tration in the daytime.
She attends law school in the eve

from National University.
In her spare time Miss Nance is
learning to speak Russian, studying
unGer Father John T. Dorosh, an
assistant in the Slavic Division of the

A Democrat by birth and convic-

Plays a Little Golf.
Besides these activities, Miss Nance
manages to get in little golf and
does her own cooking in the apart
ment she shares with another girl.
Miss Nance Is one of those astound-
ing members of the younger genera
ton who makes one wonder uneasily
what one does with the 16 hours a day

today at the Young Democrats head
quarters in the Colorado Building. she
appeared cool and unruf1ed, charming
with her auburn hair, fair skin and
hazel eyes.

I'VE cross the border for bull fights

the movies" Miss Nance says. In
McAllen Mexicans stroll about the
streets, playing guitars and accordions
on Summer evenings.
The Nances live on the edge of
