The Washington times., 1938-04-16
Federal Workers
Enthusiastic Over
WinChell Contest
Judges To Be Named
For Sweepstakes
Next Week

You should hear the enthusiasm
In the voices of the Government
lads and lassies who are calling
the Walter Winchell Sweepstakes
editor to find out about placing
their entries in the Washington
Times department-wide reply to
the famous columnist's dig at Fed
eral pulchritude!
And already the art centers Of
the Capital are excited about prov.
ing beyond all shadow Of doubt
that the Government working
women are possessed of as much
beauty as can be found in sunny
Rio or Buenos Aires, gay Paris
or seductive Vienna-in fact, as
much as in any capital in the
world!
MIXED JURY LIKELY
Yesterday the sculptresses at
Corcoran Art School declared that
women alone could properly judge
women's beauty. Today Wolcott
Waggaman, famous Washington
architect and painter, says the
men are the only capable judges!
So the Times, wishing to see all
viewpoints properly represented,
will announce early next week the
fury which will pick the Miss
Washington of the Winchell
Sweepstakes-and that jury will
probably contain both men and
women.
Think of the treat that awaits
the girl judged to be the most
beautiful of all Government work
ers! She will spend three exciting
days and nights as Walter Win
chell's personal guest.
FEASTS AND SHOWS
She will dine at the swankiest
and most exclusive night clubs
she will attend a Broadway stage
production with WincheD as her
escort. She will see all the city's
gayest spots-spots that Winchell
himself has helped make interna-
tionally famous.
Celebrities to right Of her
celebrities to left of her-and with
Walter at her side-celebrities
crowding round to meet and con-
graduate the only girl ever to
make Walter apologize!
Here's how it will be done:
NO LIMIT TO ENTRIES
First, each department, as out
lined in the breakdown which you
will find in another column, will
select as many girls as it wishes
and enter them in the Sweep
stakes. They will have until mid
night of April 80 to make their
selections and entries.
Then the judges will pick, from
the girls entered, the one they
believe best represents sheer, per
feet beauty. That girl will then
be designated by the name Of
her department - Miss Adjutant
General-MisS Forest Service
Miss Food and Drug Admlnlstra'
tion-and so on.
SEMIFINALS NEXT
Then all these girls will be
brought together-probabl on two
separate nights-if the entries
from the various departments con.
tinue to come in as fast as the
phone calls indicate-and the jury
of judges will select from these,
the ten most beautiful girls of the
whole sweepstakes. This will be
the semifinals.
And then what?
Walter Winchell himself will
come to Washington a few days
after the semifinalS have selected
the ten most beautiful Govern
ment girls, and personally select
the one who will accompany him
to New York for three whole days
and nights of entertainment.
HIS OWN CHAPERON
He will be host-escort-and
chAperon! Walter insists that he
is over 81 and that no chaperon
Is needed!
Are the Government workers
anxious to make him eat his words
Of scorn for Washington beauties!
Watch the Times every day for
news of the SweepstakeS-and
read his column every day in the
Washington Herald.
