Washington, D. c., Nov. 90
Feuds only serve to beget feuds.
This seems to be the moral eyolv-
ing from the so-called ''VictOry
Dinner" of the United Democratic
Women's Clubs held in Baltimore
at Hotel Emerson after election
The fur began to fly at the business
meeting before the dinner when a
strong faction of the Democratic
machine from the Sixth Congress
siOnal District challenged the right
of several delegates to sit as ac-
credited Democrats because they
were strongly suspected of having
gone Republican.
Among those who challenged the
rights of their Democratic sisters
were Mrs. Roger Shaw, Mrs. E. A.
Merritt and Mrs. Genevieve Wells.
Fact is they generated a siZeable
walkOut on the dinner. claiming
that the Democratic women had
nothing to celebrate except the
loss of two seats in the House and
the near-lOss Of baltimore City. Re
suit was that instead of the dinner
seating upwards of 500 it seated
only around 300 odd including the
harmony twins, Mayor Howard W.
Jackson and Governor O'Conor.

SUGAR LOBBY

The sugar interests which have
not been unfriendly to Senator
Tydings in the past are getting a
bit worried over the proposed Sen
ate investigation of Puerto Rico
which would be conducted under
the Senate Insular Affairs Commit
tee. Of which Tydings is Chairman.
Clarence K. Bowie of Baltimore,
representing some of the sugar
people, has been in communication
with Senators regarding the inves-
tigatiOn.
The Puerto Rican problem is a
tough nut to crack. Ordinarily the
crowded population of the Island
exists by selling sugar to the CONT
nCnta, United States and importing
potatoes, Boston Goldfish, wheat
and other staples in return. Now,
however, the submarine menace
and acute shipping problems have
cut Puerto Rican shipping down to
a mere dribble, and crowds riot in
the streets whenever a load Of rice
enters San Juan harbOr.
UnquestiOnably the situation is
one which merits investigation, but
the sugar people are a little leary.
Apparently they feel that the sub
committee to investigate the prob
