IO'Brien Relates
Press AnecdOtes to
Washington Club
BY Gretchen Smith
Women's Club Editor.

The Washington scene as covered
by the press at the turn of the
century, with many amusing COM
ments on members of the fourth
estate Of that period, was presented
in a talk by Robert Lincoln OBrien,
veteran newspaperman and former
member of the Star Staff, at a
meeting of the Washington Club
yesterday.
Mr.. O'Brien served as pinch
hitter" for Representative Frances
p Bolton, Republican, of Ohio
originally scheduled as guest speak
er, who has been detained at her
home in Ohio because of illness.
Mentioning some of the changes
which have developed in the COW
erage of Capital news in the past
40 years, Mr.. O'Brien said that until
the administration of Theodore
Roosevelt, there had never been
presidential press conferences.
The veteran newSpaperman
frankly expressed his opinion that
presidential press conferences
cheaper the Office of the President y
adding, "They began with Theodore
Roosevelt and apparently no Presi-
dent since that time has had the
bravado to abolish them"
Judging from the applause that
greeted this remark, members of
the club were in full accord with
Mr.. OBrien's statement as well as
the comment, "A President OF the
United States should not be stood
up on a soap box and made to an
swer any and all questions. In the
old days, the President was con-
sidered aloof and when occasionally
his opinion was desired, represent
ative member from group OF
journalists would call on the Presi-
dent in behalf of the group.
Applause also followed Mr.
O'Brien's statement, II think Mrs
Truman's abolishing the women's
press conference was also a good
idea"
The Washington Star was the
first paper to have regular White
House correspondent, the speaker
continued.
I'm those days, there were about
10 or u persons covering the city
news for The Star. Now" he add
ed humorously, ut takes about 100
persons to do the work" d.
Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin, the club
president, looking very pretty in an
Alice blue hat with f1attering
plume, introduced the speaker. She
explained how he had accepted the
invitation to speak only yesterday
afternoon following news of Mrs.
Bottoms inability to attend the
meeting.

Race Pictured as
Hope for World
By Ruth Dean

A hope for the future in a new
Indo- o-Western race that would conn
bine the spiritual idealism and IL
Elimination of the East with the
mental alacrity and practical ideal
ism of the West" was expressed last
night by Syed Wahajuddin Ahmad
in talk before the international
relations discussion group of the
American Association of University
Women.
THAT East is East and West is
West is a half-truth," declared ths
speaker, who Is the deputy informa-
tion officer of the Agency General
Of India. Supporting his state
ment, he pointed out how the spread
Of Indian culture has colored the
literature and language of Western
civilization from the ancient Greeks
to the present day.
lndla is an unusual nation in
that it has never been of an ag-
gresSive nature, he continued, at
tributing this to the fact that a ma
ton as representative of so many
| different cultures as India has built
up a cultural sympathy that has
influenced the common outlook to-
ward a greater emphasis on the
spiritual rather than the MATERIAL
istic.
The caste system and the clam
nishness of large families hays
heretofore prevented progress, he
said, but due to modern industrial
civilization and communications
Improvements, both systems ara
breaking down under the influence
OF a new enlightened generation
that promises long awaited reform.
When asked his opinion of the
outcome of the present Hindu
MoSlem strife, Mr.. Ahmad COM
mented that in the light of the past
history of India which reflects a
fusion of Hindu-Islamic culture, the
present unrest indicated the birth
pangs of new nation rather than
the death struggle of an old one.
Commenting on yesterdays news of
Britain sending three cabinet repre-
Sentatlves on proposed conStitu-
ton, he saw no reason" now why
Britain won't withdraw altogether
from India.
Miss Katherine Hall, leader Of ths
evening discussion group. presided
and introduced the speaker and his
charming wife. She was attired in

lust AbOut
Washington
By Hope Ridines Miller

y
Most consistent and systematic
scrapbook and diary keeper in
Washington is Mrs. Arthur Vanden-
berg. Ever since the day she arrived
here, she has written a detailed ac-
count of what she sees, hears and
does; and she has added to that
the press clippings, photographs and
luncheon and dinner menus that are
also souvenirs of her experience as
a Senator's wife. The 18th volume
of her scrapbook- diary was COM
pleted before she took off to Lon
don to join her husband at the
United Nations Conference. Now,
she has another daybook, jammed
to the covers with notes she made,
and press notes she clipped, while in
the British capital.
II I were publisher, I'd track
, down Hazel Vandenberg this min
ute and get her to sign on the
dotted line for Capital story that
only this Indiana-born, Michigan
educated and former Chicago news
paper woman could write. And
here's another hint to some book
publisher-Senator Vandenberg Is
also diarist. The daybook of his
Capital career is sure to find it's way
into print, someday. I wish the
UNO chapters were available now
Around the Attorney Generals
Office, reminders of a recent case
of mistaken identity are leading
to the conviction that too many
changes in personnel can lead to
all sorts of mixups. Specifically,
the case in point compounded
more than slight confusion because
two men under Attorney General
Clark have the same name-Jeter,
One is William E. Jeter, the A. G.'s
chauffeur; the other is newly ap-
pointed antitrust division attorney,
William T. Jeter.
5000, the other day when Mrs.
Grace Stewart, the A. G's secretary.
was leaving her Office, she instructed
her new assistant, Remind Jeter
to meet the Attorney General at the
airport at $3.50 tonight" The new
assistant, who didn't know one Jeter
from another, thumbed through the
personnel file until her eyes fell
on the name of Jeter, the attor-
ney. Then she called the telephone
operator. also a new employe, and
asked her to call that Jeter at his
home. He must meet the Attorney
General at the airport tonight" she
added. Accordingly, the call was put
through and the instruction relayed.
Well, Attorney Jeter, being new
on his job, too, jumped at conclu-
sions. Perhaps, he thought, all new
attorneys were expected to meet the
A. G. at the airport at least once.
He said he would have to miss din
ner; dressed himself in his second
best suit, and drove his car out OF
the garage. BY that time, his family
had decided to accompany him, and
the foursome sped to the airport.
At the appointed hour, Attorney
General Clark and two assistants
arrived, and Attorney Jeter stepped
up smilingly to greet him. The
A. G. took in the situation at once.
He and his assistants crowded into
the Jeter's car. which was a five
passenger job that held seven nicely
that evening, thank you. Since
then, however, all employees con-
cerned have been tacitly informed
that when the A. G. asks to have a !
Jeter meet him, he means his chauf-
feur. No more Jeter's jitters for
v1e A. G.
