Garner, Leader Of Peace Bloc,
CrystaIized Anti-War Sentiment
Throus hout the United States

Washington. D c. - Vice President
John Nance Garner more than any other
man changed the American attitude to-
ward the European war.
When MIR. Garner returned TO Wash
ington for the special session OF Congress
on September q. there was a sort Of
fatalistic feeling that somehow or an
other the United States, sooner or later
would get into war.
Travellers returning from Europe were
quoted in Eastern newspapers as report
ing that the most frequent question
asked Of Americans in England and
France was How soon will the United
States Join us?"
Garner never issues statements TO the
press. therefore his part in creating the
new psychology may not be fully known
to the country. Bat more than forty sena-
tors visited the Vice President on the
first day he was in Washington.
Here is what he said TO them:
THE United States is not going into
this war. The people are determined
that we shall not get into il. We in cleo
tive office have got to quit saying that
we hope this country can stay out. We
have got TO start saying We are going
TO stay OUT"
He expressed that same feeling at the
White House later in the day when Dem
ocrauc and Republican leaders met with
President Roosevelt. He expressed it
again and again as Senators and Repre-
sentatives called on him later And in a
few days the Garner sentiment was be-
ing echoed throughout Washington and
ii spread TO the country
Garner voted for war in 1917. He be-
lieved there was no way to stay out and
he still believes there was no way TO stay
out. He INSISTED that his only son 90 to
war then.

Marquis James. Pulitzer prize winning
author. in his new book. Mr.. Garner of
Texas" tells how it happened:
His son. Tully had gone to the fathers
office a few days after the war resolu-
ton passed in 1917
Son." said Mr.. Garner. how do you
feel about going TO WARP"
IL aim to go. Dad" said the boy.
I'm glad to hear it-for you've got to
go. couldn't have cast that vote TO send
other fathers boys to war if | hadn't
known l was sending my own And Just
one more thing: your mother and will
want to hear from you every time you
get chance to write. but promise you'll
never ask me a favor. ! might be in
position to get it, and l'don't want to be
exposed tortemptation."
No member Of Congress got better
understanding Of war than Garner. Not
only was he a member o. thu Ways and
Means Committee active in the framing
Of laws for the four Liberty Loans ag
gregating Sl80O0,000.000 and the S4.500.
| 100000 Victory Loan and the emergency
tax bills. but he was also President Will
sons liaison man between the White
House and the House OF Represen tatives.
Twice a week he went to the White
| House for long private conferences with
President Wilson. The President sent
! him to confer with the British. French
and Belgium missions which came to the
| United States to discuss methods of Wag-
ing the war. Garner had for many years
been member OF the Foreign Affairs
Committee of the House OF Representa-
tives and a student Of foreign relations
In the writing of the new neutrality
law it was he who insisted on every
safeguard To prevent involvement of the
United States in war.

| Eileen knew did have coming out parties. Her only debut was suc- cession of casual gatherings which she happened to be included in at the Stork Club.
 In fact, because she was young and sparkling and invited to join so many of these tireesomes and foursomes, she became known lo- cally as The Stork Club Deb. Five evenings out of six you would find her sitting on a cozy side seat in Sherman Billingsley's rose and onyx hot spot on East 53rd Street, with either Russell Burke, Eddy Sfeedy, Don (Herndon) Robin- son or anyone of a dozen other cafe society boys.
 A GLAMOR BOY
 IN HER LIFE
 But she wasn't seen with George Lowther 3d, the glamor boy of the crowd, until about six months ago, because his beat was Mon Paris. Both enjoyed certain favors for their patronage. He got $25 a week l uiii iLS AhCuLo dt MOil EhIlS. HI 1ooo, she won movie screen contest at the Stork Club and a trip to Hol- lywood. but her father wouldn't let her go. according to the club. However, they still let her dine and sup at Mir. Billingsley's and her pretty young face still con- tinued to smile back at you from photographs taken at the bar or on the dance floor.
 Like Brenda Frazier, she was photogenic. and therefore an asset to any night club. Instead of all evenings pleasure setting Eileen and Lowther bac!. $i0 or $l5, they got 1t for nothing.
 She and George only happened to meet by accident at a cocktail party. Because he was assistant press agent for Mon Paris. a rival of the Stork Club, he seldom got out for dinner. He was also custom. CTS man for this other boite. It was his job to bring the people In as well as publicize them.
 According to his friends, George Lowther 3d was equipped for a more intellectual life. Tall and handsome. with curly brown hair and big brown eyes. he graduated from Yale in '3i and was about to go in business when he happened to drop into night club one eve- ming. A photographer took his pic- ture. It appeared in the papers next day under the caption Glamor Boy of Society. The title made an im- precision. He changed careers. After that he became known as a young mar. .about-towr.
 Although he is supposed to help his father in the insurance busi- ness. his work is chiefly in night clubs. Last summer he handled the publicity and brought in cus- toners at the Merry Col Round. adjoining the Atlantic Beach Club at Long Beach. It was here that he and Eileen began to be seen so frequently in one another's company. Her strapless, sandy-pink and white satin striped bathing suit and his gay South Sea Island loin cloth, singled the pair out on the beach.
 Mrs. Herrick objected. Eileen was

quieter confines of the hospital, Ei- leen may reason the problem out for herself.
 The Judge said he would be free to do what she wanted to when she leaves the hospital. Her parents say that they have withdrawn all ob- jections to her marrying Lowther,
 Lowther insists that he can take care of Eileen without any helr from her father.
 We have already picked out g two-room apartment he said. "Ei- leen won't have to work"
 Eileen really loves George" the night club people will tell you. Why she could have married half Q dozen wealthy boys, but she picked George instead"
 And George says: I'm over my deb-hunting days. Eileen may be only 20, but she has a mature mind. There's no question about 1t being love as far as I'm concern ed. We both like the same things night clubs for instance"
 All guessing aside, what are the chances for happiness in a night club romance? Ill spite of the crepe- hangers, not all of them go on the rocks. Tomorrow I will tell you of several that have ended very happily.

 Called "Contribution"
 The 10 per cent is not listed off, cially as a pay cut but is considered as contribution" from the city employees. Those on the city pay- rolls signed waivers agreeing to do- nate that part of their salary, and the contributions have been listed in the budget as @ resource.
 Sentiment at the teachers meet ing was strongly against continu- ance of the 10 per cent deduction The association adopted the resolu- ton after a report from a special committee which had appeared bee fore the Board of Finance Wednes- day to urge return of the cut. Treatment Called "Unfair" Teachers at the meeting declared that 1t was unfair to ask them and other city employees to continue re- ceiving reduced pay, especially wher1 the tax rate can be reduced ever with restoration of the pay cut. The suggestion of Commissioner Johr H. Goss that they continue to take the cut as a matter of good sports. manship" was emphatically re. jected.
 It was pointed out that in the past eight years city employees have con. tributed total of 92 per cent of c years earnings. Other speaker. cite the fact that the finance board agreed that there could be two. mill reduction in the present 35-mil tax rate even If salaries are brought back to normal.
 Adopt Resolution The teachers adopted the follow. ing resolution:
 In view of the report of the emergency committee given to- day. and in view of the report of the Board of Finance appear ing in today's newspapers. we go on record that we will not voluntarily contribute any part of our legitimate salary sched. ule In gifts or otherwise to the city after January l, 1940.
