Washington recently at the

Col. Walter Cox Rathbone,
U. S. A., retired.

There has been no trace of
the little bar since 1884. In
1887 the legislators undertook
to forbid the sale of whisky
in the Capitol through a Sen
ate concurrent resolution.
Apparently the Congressman
were just pretending to be
good, however. They seem to
have worked out code to get
what they wanted. You ask
for a dry sherry" wrote a Cap
itol visitor in 1888, land you
get a gin"
1874 Resolution
Soon the drinking was back
out from undercover. Another
resolution tried to stop it in
1874, but it was defeated. Pres
ident James Polk, a teetotaler,
was deeply troubled by the
drunkenness on the Hill-and
especially Mr.. Webster's part
in it.
Drinking continued, but by
1866 the air was again filled
with oratory for and against
the sale of spirits within the
Capitol. Almost all the Sem
atorS were opposed to drink
lng-Which at that time was
more popular in the House
except Senator McDougall.
Before ending his defamation
in favor of good strong drink
on the wine, women, Whiskey
and war note, he sighed for
the good old days of lunching
in the Senate chamber where
we quietly sat down and drank
our wines at our pleasure.
1t was during this debate
that Republican Senator Dam
lei Clark of New Hampshire
called attention to page-boy

ter immigration law has de-
TERED an outstanding Italian
scientist from coming to the

American authorities to con-
duct the customary six-month

been established that he would
have qualified for entry. 9th

sions of the new immigration

Eisenhower Approves
The new administration is
expected to be favorably dis
posed toward the program.
President Eisenhower already
indicated his feeling in these
words:
Because Of failures IN hui
man relationships, my genera
ton has suffered through two
World Wars. The threat of an
other will not be removed until
the people of the world come
to know each other better,
until they understand each
other better. An exchange

understanding"

per attacked the program be-
cause lit forced Finland to
pay for a lot of useless barges,
snowshoes and trash which
the. United States has sent
abroad"
How 1t Works
What actually happens is
that sale of a surplus truck or
a jeep. which after the last
war would have been stranded
in some remote part of the
world, pays for a students
study abroad. To ship this
surplus property back home or
store it would have been un-
economical. Senator Fulbright
points out that the program is
really being paid for by the 20
foreign countries to which the
United States sent military
supplies in World War II.
In Turkey scholarship funds
have virtually petered out.
Senator Fulbright is trying to
persuade Congress to allocate
special funds to continue the
educational program there.
Some of the larger European
ountri Great Britain,
France and Italy-have enor-
nous surplus war property, so
they have taken the lions
share of educational benefits.

: On Drinking at Capitol

Republicans, some people
think, are being much too part
isan, even downright unfair
about a problem that tradi-
tionally has known no party
an issue that has been above,
at least outside, party lines. BY
the establishment of their con-
troverSial, cocktail-dispensing
Capitol Hill Club. they have
made drinking on the Hill their
own exclusive headache, where
as it used to be everybody's.
Men Of all parties tippled to-
gether In the early 1800s, when
the Capitol was yet young.
They met over a spot of gin
at 6A cents or a pint of porter
at 1917 cents in the long-for-
gotten bar in Room 81 Of the
Capitol subbasement. Page
boys Of the 186Os-appointed
by men from both sides of the
aisle - sometimes reeled and
rambled through Capitol cor
ridors, tight on whisky sold
within the building. In the
1905, congressman recognized
no party labels as they bent ell
bows together at the long bar
IN the House restaurant.
MeDougoII's Four VS.
Though Republicans appear
today to be champions of the
lawmakers right to drink in a
privately owned bar or lounge
on Capitol Hill, it would be
hard to say which party has
been the greater champion of
that right. Few Republicans
have matched the fervor and
sincerity of Democratic Sena-
tor James Alexander McDoug-
all of California. Fighting a
proposed rule to ban the sale
Of spirits in the Capitol in
1866. McDougall ended his ora
tion with: II believe in women,
wine, whisky and war"
Lawmakers drank within the
Capitol from the first day
they entered it, but by 1880
drinking within the building
and nearby saloons was get
ting out of hand. When
Wings Daniel Webster and
Henry Clay ana their elbow
bending colleagues were not
Fl discovered in one of the
Capitol bars, the sergeant at
arms could find them and
enough others to make a
quorum at Hancock's National
Saloon on Pennsylvania ave-
nue..
Of all the bars abounding
at the time, the cozieSt would
seem to have been Room 81
in the Capitol subbasement.

mothers put them here for

nished them. God forbid if we
educate these little boys to be-
come what they ought not to
be-
The resolution passed with
only two nay votes-one, of
course, being the doughty
McDougall's.
Preston's Memories
But drinking still continued
on Capitol Hill. Bars sprung
up again. They are remem-
bered by such Hill veterans as
James D. Uncle Jim" Preston,
former Senate press gallery
superintendent, now a mem-
ber of the secretary of the
Senate's staff. Mr.. Preston not
only remembers the long bar
in the House restaurant,
reaching from where the CASH
ier's counter is today to the
kitchen. He recalls the "hole
in the wall" This is a window
less room off from the crypt,
seen by only a few. Both he
and Capitol Architect David
Lynn believe that this room
was once a bar for a "quick
one" and was the spurious
descendant of Room 81. Today
it is an Office storeroom-dusty
and very, very dry.
The near-century of shadow
boxing with Capitol prohibition
came to an end when Garry
- Nations 6-foot shadow hung
over the Capitol. On March
3, 1903, the Capitol went Of
ficially dry and in a most in
glorious way. Tackled on a bill
ito regulate immigration of
aliens to the United States"
were these words:
mo intoxicating liquors Of
any character shall be sold
within the limits of the Capitol
Building of the United States"
After the 18th amendments
repeal, Congress stood pat by
its 1908 Capitol prohibition
statute, except for the House
rule permitting beer in the
House restaurant. Congress
stands unique among national
laW-making bodies for it's dry
ness. The British Parliament
