By the Associated Press.

With the assertion that now
It's time for us to do some purg-
ing" Senator Smith, Democrat,
of South Carolina sought speak
ing time in the Senate today to
wave anew the banner of an in
dependent Southern Democratic
party.
The South Carolinian, dean of the
Senate by virtue of his IS years of
service, told reporter he believes
the South is ripe" for the forma-
ton of a new political party of its
own--a threat voiced earlier in the
week by Senator Bailey, Democrat,
of North Carolina
The South is sick and tired of
being kicked around in the Demo-
cratic party" Senator Smith said
IT believe Senator Bailey has hit the
nail on the head when he says we

party and hold the balance of power

Senator Smith, one of several

lieved 1t was time some changes
were made in the controlling fac
ton OF the Democratic party.

Senator Smith declared.
II the South Carolinian sue
ceeds in bringing his views before
the Senate, he may touch off an
other round of rough-an tumble
debate such as that of Tuesday
when Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia demanded that Senator
Guffey, Democrat, of Pennsylvania
retract his charge that Southern
Democrats had joined with Repub-
llcans in an attempt to keep serv-
icemen from voting in the 1914
presidential election by killing the
administrs tion's war ballot bill.
Guffey's Charge Stands.
Senator Guffey has offered his
resignation as chairman of the
Democratic Senatorial Campaign
Committee-a move that Senator
Byrd demanded-but has not pub
licly withdrawn his charges that
the Southerners joined in an "un-
holy alliance" with the Republic
ans to push through the Senate
substitute measure by which the
States would be called on to IA
cilitate voting by uniformed per-
sonnel.
Senator Guffey's resignation, first
offered about two months ago, but
later tentatively withdrawn, is ex-
pected to be acted on next week.

The testimony OF Mr.. Armstrong
and Mr.. Wood was marked by sew

against the present form of govern

Harry S. Wender, president of the

tention the District now has ',the

by Samuel Levine, chairman of its
District affairs committee, indorsed
the McCarran bill "as part OF

When Mr.. Levine said the Guild
believes the McCarran bill is prefer
able to any proposal which would
set up charter commission to deal
with the problem sometime in the
future, Senator McCarran inter-
rupted to say he wanted to make
1t clear that he does not believe any
form of government should be
forced on the people of the District

Col. E. w. Startling of the White

that. But there are a great many
whose names she does not know

They are the ones, for instance.

and bring them to her in the box

such generosity on the part of these
friendly strangers is IL bottles of
popular soft drink. The number

nix. He thought for minute she
was In the soft drink business as a
sideline.
Miss Mannix recalls a number of
interesting persons and experiences
she has met over her Is years in the
Capitols box office.
In the light of today's teeming ac-
tlvlty and the swirl of billions of
dollars over Washington, recurring
memory is that of the bank-closing
days of 1888.
Miss Mannix is still surprised
that in its stunned stage Wash
lngton seemed to find the movies
a perfect escape. Long lines of
people formed in front of the
theater all that inaugural week,
unsure where their next money
might be coming from, but sure
of how they wanted to spend what
they had. It was cold and rain
ing, but the line never seemed to
diminish. And, funny thing, Miss
Mannix says today, as the money
was taken in at the box office, it
was sent directly backstage to pay
off members of the stage show.
$25 or so at time. The headliners
of the week, Amos and Andy, were
paid that way along with the 9TH
ers.
Handling 1t all the time as
cashier, Miss Mannix is money con-
scious when she thinks back over
her experiences of those Is years.
Another money incident she likes
to remember involves a foreign
diplomat who brought a party to
the theater one night. He handed
Evening star., 1943-09-06

her three bills for the tickets.
The top and bottom bills were
obviously just off the plates and
were "ones," SO the diplomat and
Miss Mannix assumed the middle
one was also. 1t was fifty" how
ever, so as soon as she could Miss
Mannix went searching through the
loge to find the man. She did,
returned the bill, received his thanks
and the explanation that his sec
retary had got the money for him
and that he had not counted it.
The following holiday, the diplo-
mat sent Miss Mannix a hand
carved box containing foreign
fruits and sweets. She still uses
the box, which is a nice ornament
as well as pleasant mementos
\ X X X
Miss Mannix has other ways than
friendships and years to measure
the length of her service at the
Capitol. In her own mind, the
longest measurement is that re-
1ected in the fact that she has
Counted IL managers coming and
going in her time there. That is
a lot of managers, but there have
been none except Gene Ford now
for several years, a comforting kind
of stability after all those kaleido-
scopic changes.
Miss Mannix's other memories
of her Is years are as varied as
they are many. Among them,
pleasantly or amusingly, are:
The woman 81 years old who used
to insist she was Shirley Temples
only real rival
The Sunday noon concerts which
used to pack the theater.
An oil cloth valentine from Au-
thor Archie Rice who tossed it to
her in the box office as he passed
one day.
But most Of all, she says, she
treasures the impression she has
gained of humanity in general and
of her associates at the Capitol,
