NEW YORK. Oct. 19.-Herbert
Hoover kept an audience laughing
for 7 minutes last night by tell
ing them why he couldn't get in
the headlines.
In a short and witty talk. the
former President called a roll Of
current events.
He and Gen. George c. Marshall
were at a New York Board of
Trade dinner to receive gold
plaques for distinguished con-
tributions to the American way"
Mr.. Hoover started off by saying
he had searched for a topic that
would make Page 1.-The real
test of whether he had justified
the award.
Mr.. Hoover-who has been on
Page l quite a lot recently as head
of the commission to reorganize
the executive branch of the Gov
ernment-then said it ought to
shock the world if he said some
thing about balancing the budget.
But this hasn't clicked in the
headlines for the last Is years"
said the former President, long
known for his serious manner.
Then he said he could give a
financial lecture on why foreign
loans never would be repaid.
