Around Capitol Square
With Lynn Nishet

GRIDIRON - At a meeting of
the State Press Photographers AS
sociation here the past weekend it
WAS tentatively decided to revive
the spring gridiron party. The sew
eral events staged before the war
time suspension were highly sue
ccsstul from every viewpoint and
the fellows would like to have some
more. The state affairs were pat
termed after the Washington press
cridiron events. which have long
been regarded rs high spots in the
national capitals politico-social
life. Satire is the keynote of the
entertainment skits and top rank
ing officials present are permitted
to speak off the rccord-about the
only chance q president has TO talk
i'll public without being quoted in
the newspapers. The whole bust
ness is IN tentative stage. but capt.
tol square is encouraging revival of
the party. State officials like TO
hear their associates and Collca-
CUES lampoCnCd. even if the price
is being ridiculcd the selves.
