|Gorner's Sleep
Interrupted by
lFne Alarm
Yf Vire Dr~s;do,

If Vice President Garner dozed
a little behind his bushy- white
eyebrows as he presided over the
Senate today, there was q reason.
The Vice Presidents sleep, which
he holds In high regard, was in
terrupted last night by great clouds
of smoke, accompanied by four fire
engines. two fire trucks. two bat
talon chiefs and the fire rescue
squad.
Mr.. and Mrs. Garner had retired
to their suite in the Washington
Hotel at 9 pm, as has been their
custom since time immemorial
Shortly after 1890 am, the switch
board operator blinked unbeliey-
ingly as light came ON indicating
a call from the Garner quarters.
Something's on fire up here"
voice cracked angrily.
Bell boys, assistant managers and
room clerks rushed to the seventh
floor to find the Vice President.
clad in blue and white striped pa
pamas, Mrs. Garner and Mr.. and
Mrs. Tully Garner, the couples son
and daughter-in-law, standing out
side their suite.
The Vice President and his wife
were rushed to another room for
the night while firemen, respond
ing to the alarm, piled into the
smoke-filled room. The firemen
discovered that there was more
smoke than fire-caused by a short
circuit In q small air conditioning
unit.
Floyd E. Rush, manager of the
hotel, said the damage was con-
fined to the mechanics Of the cool
ing unit. He declined to quote the
Vice President On any phase Of
the evening.
