At Luncheon

There has been no let down
in New Deal policies"
This was the assertion made
by John O'Donnell, White House
correspondent of the New York
Daily News, in an address on
current events at a forum lunch
con Of the Women's National
Democratic Club yesterday at
the clubhouse, 1926 New Hamp-
shire Ave. NJ w. ..' -,|
Declaring that the President
"may pause at intervals" IRE

ODonnell said:
1.-THE only thing that he has
even given up while in office was
the tooth which he had pulled
last week.
TELLS OF TOUR
Recounting many incidents
that took place on the Presi-
dents Western trip this summer,
Mr.. O'Donnell reflected upon the
frosty greeting that was given
the Chief Executive on a similar

Mr.. O'Donnell with a brief his

me, the sons of Erin are known
as the Fighting Irish" using
their fists whenever they wish to
accomplish something. Here in
America, we Hibernians agree
that the "pen is mightier than

Seated at the speakers table
were Mrs. Samuel Herrick, Mrs.

Among the many politically

said:
This time, a large warm
greeting was extended to him.
The largest crowd to welcome
him was present when we visited
the Oregon metropolis"
Briefly touching on the press,
the newspaper correspondent
stated:
1.-THE majority of newspapers
In the country have not given
Roosevelt a square DEAL For
instance, prior to his trip West
this summer, speculation in the
press was worse than specula-
tion in the stock market. How
ever, after the royal reception
at Portland, and his famous
Chicago speech, the unimpor-
tance Of this present session of
Congress assumed, as far as the
press was concerned, an impor-
tance of great proportion. We
have this to be thankful for on
the eve of one of our great ma
tional holidays, that we have an
Atlantic Ocean, a Pacific Ocean
and an excellent Navy"
