Press Club Men Have

In Quiz Contest
Outseore Women, but
One Soid 'Guimpe' Is
Where Scouts Go

A word battle at the National
Press Club last night ended in vic
tory for the gentlemen of the press
over their feminine colleagues by
15-point margin.
A quiz to end all quizzes," the
contest forced the teams to display
their erudition on such brain twist
ers as the relationship between Col.
Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin
D. Roosevelt, jr., the definition of
a guimpe and the name of a Presi-
dent of the United States who never
kissed his wife goodnight.
Announced by Senator Bridges of
New Hampshire, one of the judges,
the final score was 120 to los.
President James Buchanan never
kissed his wife goodnight" said
Lorenzo Martin, Louisville Times
correspondent. HE didn't have
one"
Guimpe Is Where Scouts Co"
He was ruled correct. but Frank
Waldrop of the Washington Times
Herald, who said a guimpe was
place where Boy Scouts go in the
summer, was downed by the wom-
ems team.
II wore them myself when I was
a little girl" volunteered Mrs. Fran
ces Parkinson Keyes, Washington
author. A guimpe, she explained,
is a little girls garment with long
sleeves and high neck, worn under
a dress to conceal long-sleeved fam
mel underwear"
Mrs. Keyes successfully refuted the
quizzer's answer to the question of
the relationship between the Roose-
velts.
The quizzer thought Col. Roosevelt
and Franklin, jr., are fifth cousins
once removed, but Mrs. Keyes ex-
planned he was reckoning the re-
lationship through Franklin's father
instead of his mother, who is Col.
Roosevelt's first cousin, making
Franklin, jr, first cousin once
removed.

Businessmen
Will Advise
Se|ectees
Will Help Work Out
Financial Problems
For Those Called
BY THOMAS c. HARDMAN.

Representatives of government,
banking and the insurance and
automobile businesses have been
summoned to a special conference
tomorrow to frame a uniform policy
to be followed in advising selectees
on financial problems when they
are called into service.
The session will be held at 4 is
pm. at the National Guard Armory,
Pennsylvania avenue and Sixth
street NV Brig. Gen. Albert L.
Cox, District selective service chief,
will preside.
Among those invited to attend the
meeting are:
H. L Mccoy, director of insurance
for the United States Veterans Bu-
reau.
Spencer Gordon, chairman of the
Registrants' Advisory Board for the
District of Columbia.
Stanley D. Willis, representative
of the District Bankers Association,
who also Is member of the ad-
visory board.
Washington l. Cleveland, head Of
the District division of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association.
George E. Keneipp, head of the
Keystone Automobile Club.
Joseph A. Marr, life underwriters
executive.
A. Burks Summers, vice president,
Washington Association of Auto
Sales Finance Companies.
Queries Received.
The general policy decided on by
the conferees will be distributed to
nearly 100 associate members of the
Advisory Board to insure uniform
advice to selectees throughout the
city regarding financial obliga tions.
Dozens of queries have been re-
ceived in recent weeks at selective
service headquarters from regis
trants who are about to be called
for years military training and are
at a loss as to the manner in which
they are expected to handle periodic
debts such as automobile and insur-
snce payments.
Selective service regulations. pro-
vide generally for these two factors,
but local officials have decided that
a practical elaboration on details
should be worked out to fit general
cases.
In letter sent men invited to the
conference for Gen. Cox. Ensign Ed
ward j. Clarke, selective service
liaison officer, stated:
we request that you come to this
meeting prepared to offer sugges-
tions which you consider will be of
assistance in establishing uniform
procedure throughout the District of
Columbia and enable us to give ad-
vice to these men, which would ap-
ply in the majority of cases"
Court Order Necessary.
Oficials said that number of
selectees had sought advice on how
to meet payments on automobiles
which were purchased prior to the
enactment of the selective service
law. The regulations state that a
selectee's automobile cannot be re-
possessed without court order under
such conditions. Discretion in in
dividual cases is left to the courts.
This provision, however, does not
apply in the cases of purchases
made after enactment of the law,
and this factor is one that has been
brought to the attention of officials
on several occasions.
Provision also is made in the reg
ulations for assisting selectees with
their insurance payment problems
through the Veterans Bureau. AS
sistance calls are received daily from
selectees who are faced with this
payment problem, it was said.
