THINGS ARE GOING TO BE
DIFFERENT

In the world of political hay these
conventions are generally of small
moment. County committeeman and
women meet to elect delegates to the
national conventions and electors for
the general election ballot. Most
years it is dull, cut and dried af-
fair with the inner circles of the par
ties flinging their weight around,
humping into some dissident groups
from within, but in the final analysis,
creating little of sensational news.
But in 1852 AID. (not to be con-

BUTTON, BUTTON

To the ordinary citizen a button
is something you use pins in place of,
but during a political campaign, but
tons take on controversial signifi-
cane.
Campaign buttons were all over
the place. There were 81 Like Ike"
buttons, Kefauver, Kerr and Harri-
man buttons and Taft buttons.
Characteristic of the patriotic fervor
of the times, all were in red, white
and blue and about one inch in di-
ameter. They were of little moment
because they all looked the same.
The button of the day was the one
worn by the Taft supporters, which
were 3 u inches in diameter. They
were of flaming orange with
large blue ''Taft" outlined in white.
The Taft supporters also had pins in
silver color with the letters in lower
case. Donkeys and elephants bedeck-
ed the respective delegates.
All who registered at their party's
registration desk received name
plates. The Democratic name plate
pictured the donkey, the Republican
was plain, but Republicans had white
ribbons with the word delegate"
printed in large blue letters on their
delegates =. the better to talk with !

Hell ps Consumers
Former Congresswonnon Continues Her
Battle to Give Consumers Even Break
By Isobelle Shelton

A former Congresswoman,
who during her House service
was known as a strong cham
pion of the consumer, is carry
ing on the consumers battle in
a little publicized operation
here in Washington.
She is Mrs. Chase Going
Woodhouse, who represented
Connecticut's Second District in
the 18th and 81st Congresses.
During both terms she served
on the Banking and Currency
Committee. where she was one
of the leading advocates of price
control legislation.
For the past year and a half
she has been a special assistant
to the Director of Price Stabili-
zation, with the particular re-
sponsibility of dealing with
price questions from the con-
sumer's viewpoint.
Her small force of three Cher
self. an assistant, and a secre-
tary) is responsible for keeping
q sharp eye on the vast price
stabilization operation. with a
view to speaking up on behalf of
the consumer any time they
think his interests require it.
They also have the job of inter-
preting the price program to
citizens. particularly consumer
groups.
Actually, Mrs. Woodhouse and
her staff don't do the speaking
up for the consumer. This is
done by the Consumer Advisory
Committee, composed Of one
representative each from 26
large organizations - women'S
clubs, church and labor organ
izations, the American Legion
and Veterans of Foreign Wars
and their auxiliaries, the
Y. w. c. A., National Congress
Of Parents and Teachers, and
similar groups.
Members of the group, serve
voluntarily-and without pay
and meet only once a month.
Several Of them do not live in
Washington. Obviously they
don't have the time or olhpor-

where Mrs. Woodhouse and her
staff come in. They are in day.
to-day touch with the situation,
and able to give the advisory
committee members a quick fill
in on what has happened since
their last meeting.
Borgoin Steaks
The committees recommen-
dations are advisory only. but
they frequently have been fol-
lowed. The group is responsible,
for instance, for requiring a
butcher to show the grade of the
beef cuts he displays as well as
the selling price. Thus, if a

ing for $1.10 a pound in ore
store and $l.40 a pound in an
other, she can determine if-aS
is probably the case-the bar
gain" steak actually is one Of
inferior quality.
Another measure, which the
committee has recommended
very strongly, calls for the i'm
position of dollars and cents
ceiling prices, such as existed
under OPA. The committee be-
lieves that the present system,
which permits retail stores to
make a certain markup over
the price they must pay the
wholesaler, means little to the
average purchaser, who has no
way of knowing how much the
price Of an item may have risen.
OPS officials ordered the dol
lars and cents ceilings into
effect temporarily in three COM
munities-Fresno. Calf; Fargo,
N. OAK, and Jacksonville, Fla.
These are to serve as pilot
projects" If OPS is satisfied
with the results, they may apply
the ceilings nationally.
Another project-which the
OPS consumers committee has
recommended-is the setting

Entertaining at 1900 Penn
sylvania avenue has undergone
little changes through the years
compared to the alterations in
the building and the increased
numbers of guests at each func-
tions. But today the number
received at a State reception
will be near the 1000 mark
whereas at the turn of the
century TOO or 500 would have
been a very large assemblage.
The White House as it is
today is amply large and sub
Stantial to accommodate 1000
people with comfort for the
guests. Not that the size of
the rooms has been enlarged
but the rooms on the ground
floor. which at one time was
known as the basement, can
be utilized at least for cloak
rooms.
When President Theodore
Roosevelt built the Office to the
West and the East wing en-
trance to match, there were
many who spoke disparagingly
of the cellar entrance. But
this made an excellent place to
check wraps which even then
was very badly needed, and
gave more space on the first
floor.
Entertainment Voried
There has been variety in the
entertaining in the Presidents
House as it was known during
many administrations. Some Of
those who lived there made use
of the South lawn for garden
parties at this season of the
year. There will be only one
large out of doors party this
month, that for the hospitalized
veterans which is an annual
event on the White House sche-
dule. For many years each
State dinner was followed by
a musicale and Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt and Mrs. Taft were
hoStesSeS at afternoon teas with
music. Always the artists were
the outstanding singers and
instrumentaliStS of that day.
These continued through the
Hoover administration.
Invitations for the current
series of State receptions are of
the less formal kind. It is not
more than a S by 4 inch card
whereas the card for the formal
evening receptions is much
larger. This less formal invita-
ton has at the top the Presi-
dents seal in gold surrounded
by 40 minute gold stars. They
are engraved in the accepted
formal script 1.-The President
and Mrs. Truman at home on
Monday afternoon May IL, 1852
at five o'clock" taking tomor-
rows invitation as an example.
IncfoSed in the envelope
which bears "The White House"
in gold block type at the upper
left-hand corner is a card of
admission engraved over an
etching of the White House.
This card bears the name of the
guest and is marked mot

envelope is a larger printed card
