SENATE'S MANY
LOVEL|ES ADD TO.
WINCHELL WOE.
Where More Beautiful?
Asks Chavez, Jr.

"And another thing-not only
ere there beautiful women in
the government service-but the
most beautiful of all these beau
tiful women are in the Senate
Office building"
Dennis Chavez, jr., son Of
United States Senator Dennis
Chavez of New Mexico flashed a
dark and Scornful eye at mental
effigy of Walter Winchell-and
softened it again as he waved his
arm toward the girls who preside
over the Senator's files.
THEY'RE LOVELY"
"Where-where will you find
iovelier girls than theSe?"
It was explained that no mere
reporter Of Winchell'S unfortunate
publication on April 6-that there
''are no beautiful women in Gov.
eminent service"-was qualified
to enter the controversy. All he
could do was to agree with the
Senator's son and secretary that
certainly the young ladies seemed
sufficiently pulchritudinouS to re-
flute. with the flick of single eye
lash, the statement that brought
on the Walter Winchell Sweep
stakes in the washington Times.
What does one do to enter
these girls in the sweepstakes"
The reporter sighed. All that
Is necessary is to fill out the en-
try blank, which is printed every
day in The Washington Times,
send it, with a photograph OF the
girl who is entered in the contest
to the Winchell Sweepstakes E0-
itor, at The Times.
THEN WHAT"
Mr.. Chavez wanted to know all
about it.
What happens them"
Well, it is entered under the
department or agency Of the Gov
eminent included in the "break"
down" of the various bureaus-in
this case Senate office Building
clerks-and remains there until
May /. All entries must be in
by midnight, April 80.
Then, on May l, 2 and 3, the
committee Of judges, whose names
will be published in The Wash
ington Times next Monday, will
select the one they consider the
most beautiful in each depart
ment-and she will become Miss
Senate Office-Miss House Office
Miss Treasury, or whatever her
department may be.
AT the Capitol Theater on May
4 and S, the committee will select
the ten girls they consider t h e
most beautiful in the entire de-
partmental array-and this will
be the semifinalS.
A few days later Walter Win
chell will come to Washington and
personally select, on the stage Of
the Capitol Theater, one Of these
ten semifinals winners-and she
will be designated Miss Washing
ton, and will fly to New York as
the guest of Col. Eddie Ricken-
hacker, of Eastern Air Lines,
where for three days and nights
she will be Walter Winchell's per
Sonal guest.
A BIG TIME
She will ride with him in his
famous private police car" chas-
ing crime stories as they happen.
She will dine in the most famous
Of Manhattan restaurants and
night clubS-dance with celebri-
ties who are Winchel's pals
waltz and big apple" to the great
est of American dance bandS-and
be shown the wonders of back
stage Radio City-and the more
serious side of the big town dur
ing the daytime. Then she will
fly back to Washington-again as
Colonel Rickenbackers guest, on
one of the big luxury air liners.
And-f she happens to be Vir-
ginian-she will then be the week
end gueSt-with all the trimmings
of Roland Eaton, of the Cavalier
Hotel, at Virginia Beach. The
Times today received the following
wire from J. L. Lucas, editor Of
Down Country Magazine:
washington Times,
washington, D. c.:

In proving Winchell wrong. We
believe that entrant from Vir-
GINA will win or be among top
flight contestants. To prove
this, and as an incentive for Vir-
ginia girls to save honors for
Old Dominion, Roland Eaton,
manager of Cavalier Hotel, Vir-
ginia Beach. and this publica-
ton offers glorious weekend, all
expenses, entertainment, with
all the trimmings to Virginia
girl who will participate and
help to prove The Times correct,
Winchell wrong, and that the
Old Dominion ranks high when
beauty is in competition.
