members of the committee.
Mr.. Wender said he would expect
the chairman to keep a record of at
tendance. If pressure of other busi-
ness prevents committee member
from attending, or If he show a lack
of interest, it will be suggested that
he retire.
Opposes Secret Reports"
II intend" Mr.. Wender said at
another point in the interview, ito
make every committee meeting open
to the public and the press. I am q
great believer In q free press. There
should be no secret reports brought
into the federation"
The new president said he believed
advance publicity on reports would
permit the delegates to come pre-
pared for ain intelligent discussion"
1t will give members, he continued,
chance to learn about the subject.
TT is my Intention" he went on,
ito place before our committees Ger
tain problems for consideration.
What action they take Is their bust
ness. If the Federation already has
policy, then it is my job to carry it
out. But am not going to dictate
policies to committees.
II intend to spotlight each COM
mittee I want each chairman to
get proper recognition. He can make
or break the Federation in his field
I should like to fit each person into
a mosaic, with each person having
fewer but definite responsibilities"
Continuing the outline of his
views, Mr.. Wender said that the first
and second vice presidents would
really function" The president,
the two vice presidents and the sec
rotary will form a steering commit

Maintains Fast Pace.
A good many people who have
seen the terrific pace that Mr..
Wender manages to keep have often
wondered how he does 1t.
my secretary IS part Of the an
swer," Mr.. Wender explained.
And the second point seems to be
an ability to Jump from one subject
to another without delay-from the
problems of q law client to those Of
a citizens association in any part Of
the city.
Needless to say, the combination Of
legal work, civic activities and a
District post have left Mr.. Wender
little time for other things. He
hasn't seen q motion picture Aim in
months. He likes to ride horseback
and, in fact, owns horse, but he
hasn't seen the horse in four months,
he said. Interested In sports since
school days, he still enjoys tennis,
swimming and ice skating.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wender are poets Of
q sort, too. When their second
daughter, Miss Elaine Smith Wender,
was born on September 8 their
friends received this announcement:

Our second daughter, now on view.
