It was the Sunday after that
strenuous week in Philadelphia.
Down at Solomon's Island trouped
a number of people to recuperate.
While they fished, swan and
took sun baths some of them
looked at a trim 46-foot-cabin job
off shore. On the after deck clad
in blue shirt and blue trousers
lounged a man. He was chewing
and whiting and just letting the
world go by.
He was Senator Vic Donahey
CD, of Ohio.
He was chewing gum, too, not
tobacco. Senator Donahey is very
fond of chewing gum and buys it
by the case. He is a frequent
visitor to parts around the Island
and has long been accepted in the
curious bond of fellowship by the
natives of that neck of the woods.

HIS PREFERENCE

First it was rumored that Sen.
ator Royal S. Copeland CD
of New York would run for COVER
nor of his State. Then it was
rumored that he would be put up
for mayor and the latest report
from the Manhattan districts is
that because he went to a medical
convention instead of a political
convention, Tammany wasn't 60
ing. to let him run for mayor
When informed of this last bit of
information in his office in the
Capitol, Senator Copeland snorted:
"Well, isn't that too bad!
I'm not a candidate for
mayor. I'm not a candidate for
Governor. Pm not q candidate
for President. I'm not a candi-
date for Vice President. I'm
not a candidate for District
Commissioner. Pm not can
didate for any office.
81 never had a job wanted,
/ think 1 will continue to serve
in the United States Senate.
II would rather be health
commissioner of the City of
New York than anything else"

congratulations and praise Tor
the coup by which he got the
harassed, scratched and bruised
Representative out Of washington
q free man.
It is a certain thing that If
Romney had not interferred, Zion
check would have been slapped
into Gallinger as quickly as pos
sible by District officials.
Admitting the fact that the
Puget Sound speedSter should not
endanger the lives of District resi-
dents with his high-poWered car,
Mr.. Romney took it upon himself
to see that the man was returned
to his friends, home and mother
for a chance to recuperate.
In doing so, the Sergeant-at-
Arms defied, the United States
District Attorney and the District
and Maryland police forces. He
brought them to terms after point
ing out that he could keep the
Representative at the Capitol all
summer if necessary and neither
District nor Maryland police could
touch him.
SOLE POLICE POWER
Congress has sole police power
over the Capitol and as interpreted
this means the grounds, the office
buildings and the streets abutting
the grounds.
Since the soldiers raided Con-
gresS in session in Philadelphia
seeking their salaries and pen
Sions, resulting in a serious riot,
the sovereignty of Congress on its
own ground has grown.
In case Mr.. Romney as head
of the 150-man-police-force would
have been put to the test he could
have ordered the arrest of any
policemen who set foot on the
ground.
In case of serious disturbance
or armed revolt the Army and
Navy could be called to protect
the buildings and the personnel
of Congress.
AS far as Zioncheck and his re-
election is concerned it is reported
that he will swing the labor vote,
corral a lot of support from per-
sons who think he has been per-
secuted and put up a swell fight
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-07-02
TIMELY, TOO

It's a swell way to advertise a
State. If you buy three-cent
stamp at the Capitol these days
they will sell you one celebrating
the Arkansas Centennial. Quite a
nobby piece of engraving and a
delight to philateliStS.

In answer to further questions
Hamilton said the results would
have been the same no matter how
much money the Republican party
had during the campaign.
He said:
"The Republican party had
enough money to run a presi-
dental campaign. If Mr..
Roosevelt had been the Re-
publican candidate he would
have been beaten"
Mr.. Hamilton declined to make
any statements regarding future
policies of the party, on the
ground that the policies now de-
pend on the individual members
elected to the Senate and House.
He said it was his hope that
Republicans in Congress would
caucus more and decide what
general policies they would fol-
low and then he thought it
would be the duty of the indi-
vidual members to stick by the
caucus.
He said the minority party now
has an opportunity for a real
service to the country by keep
ing people informed of the facts
about their Government.

LIQUOR SEIZURE
PUT UP T0U. 5.

The Cuban Embassy today re-
quested the State Department to
investigate the seizure of three
cases of rare diplomatic liquor
seized by the Virginia alcoholic
beverage control board.
The request came from the en-
bassy after a complaint had been
made by Cesar A. Barranco,
Cuban consul at Norfolk, DR.. Jose
T. Barron, counselor of the en-
bassy, explained.
The liquor was sent from Cuba
by friends of the consul, and was
cleared through the customs at
Norfolk.
But C. Stanley Clark, assistant
attorney general of Virginia, ruled
it was not admissible because
under Virginia law no intoXicants
may be shipped into the State ex-
cept to the ABC board. Clark also
ruled that Barranco is not en-
titled to diplomatic courtesies.
The consul then appealed to the
embassy, which today asked the
State Department for a ruling.
This is the first time the ques-
tion of diplomatic liquor has come
up officially in several years. Dur
ing prohibition diplomats were al
lowed to import liquor for use.
although on several occasions this
was seized by dry agents but later
released.

President Roosevelt today ap-
pealed to industry to hire more
older men-those over 4O-and un-
skilled workers to speed solution
of the unemployment problem.
In statement issued from the
White House after he had de-
parted for South America, he
praised industry for IAN increaS-
ing spirit of mutual helpfulness,
and of recognition of the fact that
the way to end unemployment re-
lief is to give work." but called at
tention to the fact that many
large industries will not employ
men over 40 and that unSkilled
workers have not participated in
the general business revival as
have other groups. He pleaded
with the industrial chiefs to give
a fair share of new jobs to these
two classes.

Unemployment has been in
creasing rapidly during the last

are to the effect that further

Unemployment relief has re-

ployment. From the peak of S.
$4,000 unemployed families and
single persons in January 1885,
the number declined % per cent

It denounced the recent action of
the Public Utilities Commission of

tion of the one-man cars to an ad-
ditional 20.
Along with more than a hun

ton went to the federation's reso-
