Gates. editor of the Communist

Gates told the court:
I'VE advocated winning q ma

doing that.
And the only way force and

Judge Withdraws Question.
Judge Harold r. Medina COM

The witness asked. 1.-THE catch In
what, sir?"
The judge replied: "As to how
you figured that out. Do you say
you would wait until they did use
the force and violence first before
you would try to overcome it?"
Harry Sacher of defense coun-

The Communist editor testified
that there were 10000 to $4,000

He denied the Communists ever

would aim to restrict "monopo-

The witness said such q coali-

"a united front Of the working

were convinced Of the necessity to
prevent war and fascism."

Evening star., 1949-08-21

On a recent typical day she
arose at 7 am, had breakfast
and a conference simultaneously
with a subordinate, then went
to work on correspondence. At
1890 she appeared on a radio
program and by 11:3O was back
in her office writing a speech.
Lunch consisted mainly of con-
versation with a visiting State
Federation president. The after
noon was devoted to writing and
signing letters and an interview
with reporter. At $50 she
caught a train to keep a lecture
engagement in Maryland.
Mrs. Buck seems to thrive
on this man-killing routine.
She frankly enjoys speech-
making, can't understand
why others don't.
On one of her trips, a male
fellow-traveler asked her whether
she was a school teacher. When
she said she wasn't, he wanted to
know what line she was in.
WELL" she said, after a mo-
ment's thought, Il guess you
could call me an executive" 1t
was the first time the idea had
occurred to her, and she was
greatly pleased by it.

wifely privileges as cooking,
which she hates. But she does
miss her comfortable Richmond,
Va, home and her family. which
includes two married daughters,
a son in college and three grand
children. Her husband is in charge
of teacher training in Virginia.
One of her principal off-duty
relaxations is yachting on the
family's 40-foot, two-masted
schooner. She's usually first mate
but can handle any job on the
boat. Once she helped hold
the helm all through the
night in a 7O-mile-an-hOur
wind, still glOws with excite
ment when she tells about it.
But her heart right now is in
her club work. Although she ad-
mits that the clubs deserve some
of the digs given by humorists,
she thinks that the absurdities
are merely growing pains. Also,
she points out, men are some
times a little silly, too.

LADY WITH A CLUB
Continued from page eight

For example, she had an inter-
view with a certain u. Senator
some years ago. She wanted to
discuss a bill in which the Fedora
ton was interested. For some
reason he was in a bad mood.
you women!" he finally ex-
ploded. "Why don't you stick to
your knitting and keep out of
politics?"
Today, the Senator probably
would be glad to eat his words.
For Mrs. Buck and the Fedora
ton are in politics to stay.
Not 4 Chance
l HE fight on behalf of the Mar
shall Plan was only one dem
onstration of the ladies' potential
strength. Another, perhaps even
more interesting demonstration
took place during Names l948
primary and general election.
Early in the year Mrs. Mar
garet Chase Smith. a staunch
clubwoman, announced her can
didacy for the Republican nomi-
nation for US. Senator. Political
wiseacres laughed. She didn't
even have an outside chance,
they said.
When Mrs. Buck heard of
Mrs. Smiths candidacy, she be-
came intensely interested. OF
course. the Federation by
laws prohibit it's endorsing
any candidate for political
office. That, however, did not
prevent Mrs. Bucks writing to
all Names women's clubs point
ing out that an election was TAX
ing place, that such and such
candidates were running and that
voting is not only a privilege
but also a duty.
Congxessmen Listen Now
Mrs. SMITH was nominated by
a large plurality and elected by a
humping majority.
No one at the Federation
claimed any of the credit. But
Mrs. Bucks telephone rings a
good deal more frequently since
then. Many of the callers are
Congressman who have just re-
ceived letters from Mrs. Buck
supporting or opposing one bill
or another. Time was when the
answers received, if any. were
form letters. Now the Congress-
men want to assure her personally
that they will give careful con-
sideration to what she has to say.
They'd better. too. The End

WEDDINGS ON THE RECORD

EVANSTON, III. R)-Art Foy figures wedding pictures are ok. as far as they go, but they don't go far enough. So he has gone into the business of recording the words and music of the rites on a tape recorder. He calls them "por- traits in sound". Sometimes, of course, there are difficulties.
 "Once," he says, "I had the mikes in place, the music started and the bride came down the aisle. It was a perfect ceremony until a barking dog intrrupted the soloist. Then an airplane buzzed the church and a fire siren drowned out the couple in the midst of their vows"

story when he first made his claims was deepened by his con- viction on Texas oil fraud charges in 1925. He served five years of 14-year term in Leavenworth pen itentiary, was paroled in 1880, and in l940 was granted a full pardon by President Roosevelt
 One of his last attempts to gain recognition was embodied in let ter to the American Geographical Society in 1886, seeking full and impartial investigation" of his story of discovery.
 Congress retired Peary as an admiral on the strength of his ex- pedition but clause designating him as a discoverer of the Pole was deleted from the bill before it passed.
 Admiral peary's widow, Mrs. Josephine D. Peary, discounted Father Hubbard's reason for say ing Dr. Cook might have discov- cred the Pole, rather than her husband.
 Tn the Arctic, terrain is always changing" said Mrs. Peary, who has been far north herself. "The country never looks the same from year to year"
 Mrs. Peary said results of her husbands 1909 trip were "as thor oughly investigated at the time as they could be-" She added that she thought the Peary-Cook contro- versy subsided long ago.
 Peary died in 1920 and Dr. Cook died in 1940.

Cook May Have Reached Pole
 Ahead Of Peary

MONTICELLO, III. (P) - The Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, s. J., the Glacier Priest" says the late Or. Frederick A. Cook may have reached the pole after all.
 Father Hubbard told a lecture audience here that more than 300 trips made over the pole in the last year or so by the U. s. air force bear out pr. Cooks descrip- ton of the Polar area.
 In. fact, Father Hubbard said that what the airmen have seen is closer to Cooks description than it is to that furnished by Adm. Robert E. Peary, generally credit ed with being the first to reach the Pole.
 Regarding the Peary-Cook con- troversy, Father Hubbard declar- ed, "the important thing to re- member is that anyone who ac- cepted the challenge of the Arctic is worthy of the greatest consid- eration-whethe he reached the Pole or not"
 Cook made his trip in April 1908, and Peary in April, 1909. Most almanacs and encyclopedias credit Peary with being the first to reach the top of the world. But this, Father Hubbard said, is mainly because they get their in- formation from the National Geo. graphic Society, sponsor of the Peary expedition.
 The priest, whose most recent assignment was with the 10th Air Rescue Squadron in Alaska, said Peary's description of the area around the North Pole was that it was smooth" and that the last several hundred miles were "eaSy going"
 In contrast, he continued, Cook said the region was broken up in pressure ridges, ice blocks and open water with rough terrain over which it is hard going"
 Air force observations coincide with Cooks description, Father Hubbard stated.
 Dr. Cook died Aug. 5. l940, at the age of 77, still seeking recog- hilton of his claim to discovery of the pole. The discredit cast on his
