TWO WINTER ASPECTS
BIZ THE MAN IN THE TowER


It's winter In Ireland,
Very damp and cold,
Enveloping mists arising
Over hill and void.
In loWlands and highlands,
Down a bit In County Clare,
Or far away up north
The cold Is everywhere.
It's winter in New England,
No sunsets red and gold;
Rainy, damp and dreary,
with hint Of the Irish cold.
No big winter storms with
Snow fakes light as feather;
But fog and mist, mist and fog,
SO like the Irish weather.

Michigander Is Best Joiner.
Washington, Jan. 0 - The new
Congressional Directory usually Is
considered worth o book review,
since It's the bible Of Washington
correspondents, social secretaries;
lobbyists, and nearly everyone else
who has TO operate in the capital.
This Is the volume which con-
taiDs the biographies Of members Of
congress, Of the cabinet and the u.
8. supreme court justices; names
and home addresses Of government
ofncials and foreign diplomats, and
Lists Of congressional committees.
II also contains the description
OF functions OF all government
agencies, from the presidency
down to the Alley Dwelling Au-
thority for the District Of Column
bia, and innumerable other items,
which make II an inexhaustible
mine of information about what
some Washingto inians refer TO as
"the gumment."
AS one skins through the self
supplied biographies Of 435 mem
bers of the House, In addition to
those OF SO senator's, evidence ac-
cumulates that quite a few con-
gressmen have been elected In re-
cent years more because they were
democrats opposed to republicans
than because Of any high batting
average on the home grounds.
Often the incumbent's chief boast
Is tint he was q bank cashier or
member of the school board In a
small town, or, merely active In
civic affairs"
Perhaps score base chief claim
to fame on activity In the Amer
lean Legion.

At Last! The AAA Author!

The Honorable Hampton p. Full
mer OF South Carolina leads the
field for length, with his biography
OF AZ lines. He Is closely followed by
Senators Jim Ham Lewis of Illinois
and William q. McAdoo, Of Califor-
MIA, with 40 lines apiece.
Congressman FuImer needed
space TO give the names of his
various opponents in years past
and the pIuralitles by which he
defeated them, not TO mention
how he got that $1,3O0.0OO veter-
ans hospital for Columbia, s. G.
Most sensational OF all Is the con-
CHEESEMAN'S description Of him
self as author Of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act"
Dozen of individuals have been
accused OF authorship of that act
including Russian, Joe Stain
but this appears TO be the first time
anyone ever accused Mr.. Fulmer.

Members who contributed no in
formation about themselves used to
be rarities, but there are several
such this year. Rush Dew Holt OF
West Virginia Is the only senator
among them. Representative Dewey
Short of Ohio is the only republic
can. Others who say nothing are
Arthur w. Mitchell of Chicago
fonly Negro member, Leo Kocial-
kowski of Chicago, Paul Maloney OF
Louisiana, Edward l.. O'Neill of New
Jersey, Marcellus Evans, Andrew l..
Somers, and John j. Delaney--all
three from Brooklyn, N. Y--and
James p. Buchanan and Milton H.
West of Texas.
Failure of members TO have
their biographies inserted In the
directory Is variously attributed 10
modesty, the desire TO appear
modest, inability TO think of any
thing 10 say, and plain laziness.
