Mr.. Hannegan's Office at the Demo-
cratic National Committee headquarters
in the Mayfiower Hotel is a comfortable
room with philodendron and other
greenery on the tables and window sills.
There is picture of Mrs. Hannegan on
the desk and four other family pictures
in the room. On table are inscribed
pictures from the late President Roose-
velt ("For Bob Hannegan with the warm
regards of his friend") and from Presi-
dent Truman
Mr.. Hannegan doesn't drink or smoke.
But he does eat candy. The lower right
hand drawer of his desk is we'll stocked,
Having the Postmaster General double
in brass as the chairman of the partv
In power is conventional procedure.
Bob Hannegan's friends say you will
see two things:
On the political side, thorough
organization of the party and a drive
to get Democrats to the polls in the
1946 off elections so the party's
experience of 1912 won't be repeated.
On the Post Office side, an insistence
that the people who buy the stamps are
the real bosses.

WAC May Carry Over as Peacetime Unit

Though still known as WACS, they are
just as much part of the Army as men.
What women soldiers find most per-
sons don't realize is that the Women's
Army Corps is only the organization
that enlists, trains and equips them, and
gives them their first classification and
assignments.
When the woman soldier is assigned
to the Air Forces, for instance, she ex-
changes the WAC insignia for the Air
Force wings. When she goes to the
Signal Corps, she wears the crossed
semaphores.
Various researchers have delved, into
the problem of finding out what the
average WAC is like. The Quarter
master Corps comes through with Ger
tain measurements obtained in the
prosaic course of trying to supply uni
forms that fit.
On the basis of this study, the typical
WAC is feet 4, weighs 128 pounds and
wears size 9l2 hose. That not all WACS
fall into this category, however, was
indicated by an action taken last Au-
gust by Gen. John T. Lewis, then COM
mander of the military district of
Washington.
Citing WAC gains in weight up to 20
pounds in comparatively short period,
Gen. Lewis ordered Is minutes a day
exercise for all personnel. WACS in
Washington with poundage troubles
were invited to eat at an Overweight
table" where q sharp eve was kept on
calorie intake
In preparation for demobilization the
United States Armed Forces Institute
not long ago added courses in home
making Maj. Geraldine May, WAC staff
director for the Air Transport Com
mand who has flown 1865 900 miles visit
ing WAC outposts, said that half the

and the then Senator Bennett c. Clark
chose him for the post. There was a
storm of criticism, and one st. Louis
paper devoted about eight columns on
the first page of its editorial section to
an attack on Mr.. Hannegan. Further,
1t saw to it that copy of the paper
reached each Senator who would have
to vote on Mr.. Hannegan's nomination.
In all the attacks on Mr.. Hannegan,
his critics did not find anything to
assail in his professional career as a
lawyer.
He Got the Job
Mr.. Hannegan had a law practice
which brought him in several times
what the collectors job paid. And there
were no contractors doing business with
the city among his clients. He didn't
want the job of collector-until the op-
position developed. Then it meant vim
dication.
The Treasury, as has been said, inves-
tigated. When the investigation was
completed, Secretary Morgenthau told
Mr.. Hannegan it had been 'the most
thorough investigation in the history
of our department, and the whole in
vestigation is a distinct credit to you
and your family" The upshot was Mr..
Hannegan's confirmation.
1t was not until then that Mr. Hanne-
gan made a statement. He said his
services as collector would be an answer
to his critics. They were. When he was
nominated to be commissioner of in
ternal revenue in October, 1943, those
who had attacked him before raised no
objections.
To equip himself better for the job
of collector in ST. Louis, Mr.. Hannegan
went back to law school and studied
tax law. After he took over the job the
Office treated taxpayers as stockholders
in the Government rather than as people
paying fines. If the Office wanted to
question Mr.. Jones about his tax return
1t didn't send mimeographed notice
peremptorily directing him to come in,
or else" The taxpayer received a polite
letter addressing him as Dear Mr..
Jones'"
Evening star., 1945-05-13

When Guy T. Helvering resigned as
internal revenue commissioner Morgen-
thau chose Mr. Hannegan to succeed
him on the basis of the Hannegan record
In st. Louis. Bob Hannegan didn't want
that office either, but he told his family
to look on it as though he were Joining
the Army and he came on alone to
Washington. His criticism of the Office
was that it was suffering from hardening
OF the arteries, and he applied the same
methods he had used successfully in St.
Louis. Those methods included working
nights, Saturday afternoons and Sum
days.
High Light of Career
Mr.. Hannegan became chairman of the
Democratic National Committee January
~, 1914. His career since then is we'll
known, high lighted by the national
convention at which Senator Truman
was nominated for the vice presidency,
and by the election last November.
On the personal side, Bob Hannegan
was born Al years ago. His father was
John P. Hannegan, now deceased, a
police captain. Young Hannegan studied
law at st. Louis University, a Jesuit
institution. Six feet inch tall, he was
an outstanding athlete, and even after
he started practicing law he helped
coach the football team and was head
coach of the swimming team.
He married Miss Irma Protzman.
daughter of North st. Louis banker.
with whom he had gone to high school.
MIR. Hannegan's friends describe her
Observation-Disclosures without overstate-
ment-as lovely and gracious person.
The Hannegans have four children,
Patricia. IA: Robert, jr, II; William, 10,
and Sally. s. When Sally made her first
communion week ago yesterday, Mr.
Hannegan went to st. Louis for the
occasion.
Family in St. Louis
Because of reluctance to interrupt or
change the children's schooling, Mrs.
Hannegan and the four children have
remained in st. Louis and Mr.. Hanne-
gan has made only desultory search
for house In Washington. Now he's
definitely acquiring q house so the FAM
lily can move here.

woman soldiers at one foreign station
she visited are taking courses in nutri-
ton, house planning, home decoration,
child psychology and related subjects.
To date IA WACS have received the
Purple Heart, and have won the
Legion of Merit, 35 the Bronze Star,
the Soldiers Medal for personal
heroism and 1 the posthumous award
of the Air Medal. Col Hobby has
received the. Army's third highest deco
ration, the Distinguished Service Medal,
for her part in directing the corps.
AS their third anniversary approaches
and with a permanent peacetime Or
ganization viewed as a strong possi-
bility-WACS can reflect that they've
outlived early criticism and helped the
Nation move closer to victory.
In taking mems places, they have
asked no special favors. Even to their
khaki uniforms, which one member Of
Congress described explosively as "irk-
some, bulky and colorless," they've been
largely resigned. Until victory is won,
they explain, glamour can wait.

services. But the die-hards didn't like
1t here, and said so.
The soldiers in skirts composed the
pioneer womens military group set up
in this war, and thus had to bear a
heavier burden of criticism than did
other women's military groups author
ICED later.
Shortly before President Roosevelt
signed the bill in July, 1943, abolishing
the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps and
admitting its members to the Army
itself, criticism had reached a crescendo.
In sharp statement, Secretary of
War Stimson denounced as absolutely
and completely false" a newspaper
columnists report rejecting on WAAC
morals.
From other sources came similar de-
nunciations of whispering campaigns
and jokes directed against the women
who had joined up at Army pay-and
at the urgent appeal of the Government
to replace men in on-combatant
duties.

duties, Capt. Louise Anderson, Denver,
Colo. one of the five, said later:
I'VE worked like dogs Is hours a day
during the conference, but it was all
worth it when President Roosevelt in
vited us to dinner.
'It wasn't at all like a girl would
dream about having dinner with the
President. He was so informal and
made every one feel right at home"
All But Actual Combat
Other WACS served in less glamorous
jobs. Some were cooks, bakers, stenog-
raphers, chauffeurs, truck drivers.
cryptographic technicians Others were
telephone operators, mail clerks. radio
operators, craftsmen and medical tech
nicians. The Army has found, Incl
dentally. that WACS are as adept as
men-and sometimes more so-in 23e
different military occupations.
Today WACS are engaged in virtually
every military job except combat. Some
are even assigned, for headquarters
work, to combat forces overseas

victory in Europe, the corps is understood
to have no plans to expand beyond its
present level. Supporting this view was
the action last month abolishing 800
separate WAC recruiting Offices all over
the country, effective May l, and trans
ferring their activity to regular Army
recruiting stations in so of the Nations
largest cities. Assigned to these stations
will be at least one WAC officer and two
enlisted women.
The matter-of fact acceptance Of the
lady soldiers today is in sharp contrast
to the startled reception with which the
original WAACS were greeted when they
first emerged into the military picture
three years ago.
Many persons shook their heads and
said in effect, Whats the world coming
to?" Critics felt it somehow wasn't
fitting and proper for women to be in
military uniform. Russia, England,
China, Germany and other warning
nations had found uniformed women
filled an important role in the armed

generally as the Northern Liberty Mar
ket, It's correct name. was Northern
Market" Boss" Shepherd, who raised
Washington out of the mud and made q
respectable city of it, had force of
workmen one September evening IN 1872
tear down this market and the buildings
attached to it. Those who owned stalls
at the time did not like this idea of
losing their property and livelihood in
this way and put in a claim against the
District for $592,215 damages, and after
many years of litigation were awarded
$780, ,76608.
Market House Riot
One of the chief historic events of this
neighborhood is known as the Northern
Liberty Market House riot. 1t occurred
on June l, 1857, during the city election
held that date, and was brought about by
the American party-or what was COM
monty known as the Know Nothing
party-unduly and Illegally obstructing
and interfering with the election of the
polling place at the south side of Mount
Vernon Square between Seventh and
Eighth streets. For this unlawful pur-
pose gang of rowdies called Plug
Uglies" was induced to come over from
Baltimore for the purpose of intimidat-
ing voters of this city. In Washington
their number was greatly increased by
members of the rougher element, then,
as now, always looking for scrap.
They came, they saw and they were
defeated. One hundred and ten Marines
put them to flight after killing six per-
sons and wounding 81, although the
Bad Men of Baltimore" had fortified
themselves with a brass cannon which
they brought from the Anacostia engine
house and placed under the market
house shed at the corner of Seventh and
K streets, together with firearms, shille-
t.
offensive and defensive. After the Ma
rines got through with them, those who
were able left town, wiser than when
they came here
In that part of Washington, on Massa-
chusetts avenue between Fourth and
Fifth streets, was the marble works of
the Flannery brothers. Lott and Martin,
and where Lott, no doubt, carved the
statue of Lincoln now in front of the
Courthouse.
Early Residents
Nearby also resided George Parker and
the parents of Edwin B. Hay, Dennis
Toomey, a bookbinder, and James
Lackey, who, when he adopted the stage
as profession, assumed the name
Wilton Lackaye." Also on Massachu-
setts avenue resided the family of Sam
uel c. Dawson, their neighbor being Will
liam Drane, much respected police
man, known as the children's friend :;
Mrs. Hurdle, and John Hibbs, father of
the late well-known banker and broker,
William B. Hibbs.
When the Lawrence Barrett Dramatic
Club was founded March Is, 1884, the
same Wilton Lackaye became member.
Talbot o. Pulizzi, one of its first
members, says that the club was the
outgrowth of the efforts of number of
ladies and gentlemen who met in the
fall of 1880 for the study of the legiti-
mate drama.

While all this was going on. WAACS
