}i-Portison Luncheon Fetes Senators Wives
Protocol Discarded
AS Guests Draw
Numbers for Seats
By SeIwo Roosevelt

While Senator's and Congress
men we're working long hours
in an effort to adjourn by
August /, some Of their wives
got together yesterday-all sing
ing the same refrain. Z Never
See My Husband Anymore!"
The occasion for this BIZ
partisan sad lament was q
luncheon given by Mrs. Frank
Barrett, wife of the Senator
from wyoming in honor Of two
new Senate wives, Mrs. Sam
Reynolds. wife of the Senator
from Nebraska. and Mrs. E. D.
Crippa. wife of the other Sena-
tor from Wyoming.
Held in the Gold Room OF the
Woodner, the luncheon was
attended by some so ladies and
heading the list were Mrs. Rich
ard Nixon and Mrs. John Foster
Dulles.
It was a pleasant. informal
affair, which is the way the
hostess wanted it. She did not
want a formal receiving line so
she had the guests and honorees
mingling from the beginning of
the luncheon.
And instead of seating accord
ing to protocol, the guests drew
numbers which indicated where
they were to sit. This produced
all sorts of interesting arrange
ments, as two of the most beau
tiful Senate wives, Mrs. Joseph
Mccarthy and Mrs. John Ken
nedy found themselves seated
next to each other.
Head Table
There was a head table. how
ever, which included Mrs. Nixon,
Mrs. Dulles. Mrs. Crippa. Mrs.
Reynolds. Mrs. Styles Bridges,
wife of the president pro tenn Of
the Senate and Mrs Charles
Halleck, wife of the Majority
Floor leader of the House of
Representatives.
Naturally, when q group OF
women get together. one Of their
favorite topics is their children.
Mrs. Reynolds was very excited
because for the first time in seven
years she had all three OF ner
daughters visiting her at the
same time. And Mrs. William
Purtell, wife Of the Senator from
Connecticut, brought her daugh-
ter-in-law, Mrs. William Pur-
tell, jr., who is stopping in Wash
ington for q few days en- route
from South Carolina to West
Hartford, Conn.
Mrs. Price Daniel, pretty young
wife of the Senator from Texas.
arrived little breathless after
leaving her 13-year-old at home
as baby sitter for her other
three children.
Mrs. CLINTON ANDERSON, VIE OI
the Senator from New Mexico,
was very anxious to get back
home. MY children are already
there and we have a campaign
ahead of us!" she said.
Kennedys to Leave
Mrs. Kennedy said that she
and the Senator planned to
leave for Massachusetts, as soon
as Congress adjourns-but they
still do not know where they will
live next winter when they re-
turn to Washington.
The hostess. looking very
pretty in a black dress and deep
blue hat which matched the
color of her eyes, told a very
amusing story about her grand

KaInnholz Approval
As NLRB Counsel
Uncertain in Senate
By she Assoeiossd Prsss


An air OF uncertainty sur
rounds President Eisenhower's
nomination Of Theophil c.
Kammholz. Chicago attorney,
TO the post Of general counsel
Of the National Labor Relations
Board.
Some Senate sources, declin-
Ing to be quoted by name, said
today Mr.. Kammholz may not
be confirmed at all-either dur
ing the present Senate session
or next year, when the Demo-
Gratis are due to take control Of
Senate committees.
The position Is a key one in
administering the Taft Hartley
labor law because the NLRB
general counsel has exclusive
power-without consulting the
NLRB itself-to decide whether
to prosecute unfair labor prac-
tice charges against q union or
employer.
No Objections Yet.
So far no official objections
have been reported filed against
Mr.. Kammholz, whose nomina-
ton formally went to the Sem
ate when 1t convened in special
session November 8. The four
year term Of the present Dem
ocratic-appointed general coun-
sci. George j. Bott, expires in
four weeks.
But AFL and CIo officials
have said privately that, while
they consider Mr.. Kammholz able
and fair, they are not keen to
have him In the job because his
law clients have been mostly on
the management side. And Dem
ocratic Senators have indicated
they would want lengthy hear
ings on the appointment.
Home Senators Ignored.
The Senate informants inter-
viewed today. both Democratic
and Republican, said the picture
is further complicated because:
/. The White House notified
neither Senators Douglas, Demo-
crat, OF Illinois nor Dirksen, Re-
publican, of Illinois OF the ap-
pointment before sending 1t to
the Senate. Failure to officially
inform home State Senators in
such cases is considered a seri-
GUS breach Of legislative-execu-
tive etiquette. and Senator Doug
las is q member of the Senate
Labor Committee which must act
on the nomination.
2. Two days before Congress
adjourned last August 20, Sher-
man Adams, the Presidents as
sistant, telephone Senator H.
Alexander Smith, Republican, of
New Jersey, Labor Committee
chairman, asking him to call his
committee together that day to
receive and pass on the Kamm-
holz nomination.
The adjournment rush was in
full swing. Senator Smith con-
ferred briefly with senior COM
mittee Democrats and found
them in agreement with him
that there was virtually no
chance to get the committee to
consider a nomination for such
o controversial post in the brief
time remaining. Senator Smith
so told Mr.. Adams and the nomi-
nation was not made then.
8. Mr.. Kammholz is reported
reluctant to quit his law prac-
tice in Chicago for a recess ap-
pointment next month because
Of the possibility that the Senate
may never confirm him.
4. Some Government officials
seriously question whether the
general counsel's duties can leg
ally be performed by any one but
the general counsel himself.

"Team work is promoting safety
in East Cleveland" declares
Chairman Kregenow, "and with
the cooperation of every motorist,
every pedestrian, East Cleveland's
excellent record can be made even
better.
"The time to make your car
winter-safe is before the accident"
states Chief of Police H. S. Weaver
as he reminds all drivers that
President Eisenhower has declared
December 15th-next Wednesday,
as Safe Driving Day. Lets be
ready and make SD Day a death
less, accident free day and then
try to continue it.
On the 1853 SD Day, Decem-
Der 18th, East Cleveland had two
reported traffic accidents. That is
about our average, comparing the
1853 figures when the five winter
months, November through March
reported 424 accidents compared
to $50 up to December of this year.
Pedestrians, too, come in for
warning from Chief Weaver.
Don't jaywalk. Be careful to cross
at and within the regular cross
walk. Even with the green" keep
an eye on motorists making left
turns"

team coach, Ray Vimborg dis
cussed his team.
Cleveland Browns quarterback,
Otto Graham surprised the boys
when he told them they had better
get used to going to school for the
rest of their lives. He explained
that the Browns have to study and
take tests regularly. He pointed
out, that every boy should do his
own work. In the question-answer
period the boys asked Graham
everything from how he gives
signals to how much he makes as
a player. Otto gave out auto
graphs as the boys lined up at the
close of the party.

An Ideal Gift
For That Boy

Are you just puzzled as to just
what to give your son this Christ
mas, or the son of your neighbor,
your nephew or grandson. How
about a YMCA membership? It's
a gift that will last the whole year
through.
Or, if the boy is already a
YMCA member, how about a check
to cover one of the special events,
such as the ten days at Center5
vile Mills Camp, that spring va
cation trip to Washington, the
summer vacation day trips, or for
a really big gift, the Western trip,
which is being offered sometime
in July.
Investment in Christian citizen
ship always bring big dividends.

retary, or Jim North, physical

the foot of this stairway for riders
transferring to Southbound buses
at this point.
Over in the vast spaces Of the
terminal site, itself, everywhere
workers are rushing their jobs.
Completed is the overhead walk
leading from Euclid ave., to the

replaced with a similar escalator.
Atop the stairways are glass en-
closed entrances to the open plat

Rapid trains, custom made to spe-
cial CTS requirements, are so con-
structed as to enable passengers
to step right into them from the
platform level.
All rapid cars are reversible.
They can back inbound to their
respective track through an auto
matte switch just west of the sta
tion. The two million dollar signal
system, operated from the tower
on the easterly end of the plat
