Capitol Hill Club, Membership Limited Exclusively To Bona Eide Republicans, Opens This Week In Washington, D. C.
By ED cREAGH

tOag Well, df he isn't ln nIS usual haunts, you might try a remodeled e150-year-old brick building across the street from the old House of flee building.
 Here, opening this week, is located an organization new to the Washington scene - the Capitol Hill Club. Who belongs to it? Rep. James c. Auchincloss of New Jersey, the clubs first president, gives these qualifications for membership:
 You must be a gentleman or a lady, you must be RepubI can, and you've got to have 50 bucks"
 The Rev. Dr. Albert F. Shirkey of the Mt. Vernon Place Meth odist Church termed the club "a sin, a shame and blight on the country"
 "If ever I have been disheart- ened," he said in a sermon, ''it was when I learned that within stones throw of the capital, there is going to be opened up, by the new leaders of govern ment, liquor lounge where they may go for cocktails and then into separate rooms for confer enceS
 ITO have the leadership of this country work out their plans in a liquor lounge is going to be terrible thing for the country"
 Auchoncloss and some friends thought up the Capitol Hill Club several years ago-soon after the Republicans lost their fifth straight presidential election. They thought there ought to be a place for party stalwarts to nurse their wounds and rally their spirits for the 1852 cam paign.
 A series of misunderstanding a suitable headquarters was the principal one m delayed matters until there was no longer a need for a Republican wailing wall. One of the clubs first functions, in fact, will be an open house for Washington visitors-Repub. ican ones - during next weeks inauguration festivities.
 More than 400 persons, includ- ing some of the biggest names in the party, already are members of the Capitol Hill Club.
 Their three story club house offers them, among other things, three sedately decorated dining rooms, a lounge and a small for mea-orily bar. For. women, there is a small special dining room Bells summon members of Con- gress to the nearby capitol when there is a quorum call or other business requiring their presence.
 All this cost some $150,0OO, and the end is not yet. Warmed by their election victory, the Repub- licans are talking of an adjacent seven-story building, to cost more than a million dollars, which would house their national com mittee and affiliated bodies.
 Initiation fee for the Capitol Hill Club is $25. Dues are $25 a year if you live hereabouts, $50 a year for non-residents. You can buy life membership for $1,000.

Around Town With
The Editor

In the May Il issue of the "Chi-
cago Daily News" whole page is
devoted to the biographies of seven
men and one woman, all of whom
are candidates for the highly priced
position of Superintendent of Educa-
ton of the City of Chicago.
Prominent among the candidates
is Benjamin c. Willis, who was SUI
perintendent of Schools for Wash
ington County from 1910 through
1947, when he was appointed Super
intendent of Education in Yonkers,
New York. In 1850 he was appoint
ed Superintendent of the Buffalo
Schools under six-year contract at
$4,000 a year. But in the Chicago
story, the Buffalo Board of Educa-
ton stated that if they were faced
with a request from Mr.. Willis to
release him from his contract they
might concur-but very reluctantly.
According to an Associated Press
story, dated May 26, Republican Rep

who was arrested sometime ago on a
speeding charge in Washington
County and who later, through Sena-
tor Glenn Beall, claimed immunity
from arrest and return of his COLA
teral, which he got, seems to be
making a real joke out of the courts
of the land
You will remember that after the
publicity regarding his claim of i'm
munity, he rose in the House of Rep
resentatives and asked for and re-
ceived from his fellow members, the
right to waive immunity. He stated
at that time he was coming to Hag-
erstown and stand trial.
Nothing more was heard about it,
however, until the Associated Press
story broke in the daily papers on
Tuesday. In that story he apparently
made a joke of the case, for he is
quoted as saying that he has not de-
cided whether to plead guilty or in
nocent to the speeding charge, but
that his House colleagues have given
him plenty of advise on the subject.
For example, he quipped:
Zone suggested that l plead in
sanity and produce other congress
men as exhibits. But l haven't de-
cided to do it."
