''I Work for Uncle Sam"
SecretGrytO Reynolds
Climbed Ladder of
Success SLOULy

Much has been said and writ

life of a Government worker.
This is the story of a young
blade from Culpeper County, Vlr-
ginia. sub, who came to Wash
ington and did something about
it!

diary of Wesley E. Mcdonald.
secretary to Senator Robert
Reynolds, of North Carolina.
Listen to this success tale:
Young Wesley left his native
heath and came to Washington
for his senior year at Business
High School in 1916. The next
year, at II years Of age, he
graduated from Strayer's Bust
mes College.
AIDE TO OVERMAN

aged to find a job as messenger
in the Government service, but
he wasn't satisfied that it afford
ed the opportunity he was look
ing for. So in 1919 he worked
his way into the office OF Sen
ator Lee S. Overman, of North
Carolina.
For II years, till the death OF
Senator Overman in December
1880, Wesley stuck to that post.
But it is what he did outside OF
office hours during that time
that makes his story a worth
while one. When Congress
wasn't in session he got into a
baseball outfit and from 1920
until 1880 pitched semi-pro and
amateur baseball at $25 per
game!
Mcdonald became the lead
ing pitcher of the Government
League, and in 1926 received
the silver trophy while a mem
Der of the General Accounting
team. That year his outfit won
II games and lost one. What
did he do with the money? He
saved it to put himself through
law school-nights!
HELPED GLASS, TOO
After the death of Senator
Overman, the then locally cele-
brated pitcher was hired by
Overman's successor, Senator
Cameron Morrison. for a few
months. Then Mcdonald leaped
at the opportunity to get into
the office of Senator Carter
Glass of Virginia for wider ex-
perience, again as assistant Sec
rotary.
From there he jumped into the
office Of Chief Justice Martin Of
the Court of Appeals of the Dis
trict OF Columbia as the jurist'S
private secretary. Another
step up the ladder, for young Nc
Donald wanted more than any
thing else to be a lawyer.
In Justice Martins office Wes-
ley began his struggle with law
books in 1880, and in 1888 he
received his LIB. at the Wash
ington College Of Law and was
admitted to the bar of the Dis
trict of Columbia. In a few days
he will also be a member of the
Virginia bar.
LAWYER ON THE SIDE
Shortly before his graduation
he entered the office of Senator
Reynolds as his personal secre-
tary and has remained at that
post since. It falls to the lot of
the North Carolina Senator's
secretary to interview on an
average of a hundred people a
day looking for employment or
seeking to adjust other matters.
