Retirement Party Honors
Draper, Is Years on FPC

Commissioner Claude L.
Draper, dean Of the Federal
Power Commission who served
1t rs years. was honored by $50
friends at the Hotel Washing
ton at a retirement party last
night.
The function was highlighted
by a special message from for
mer President Herbert Hoover,
who first appointed him to the
commission in 1880. Mr.. Hoover
declared "the whole American
people should be grateful" TO
Mr.. Draper for protecting the
public interest. The former
Chief Executive declared the
appointment must have been a
good one, because succeeding
Presidents of different political
faiths re-appointed him.
Altogether Mr.. Draper had 81
years Of public service in regu-
latory work. for he was a MEM
Der and chairman of the Wy
oming State Board of Equaliza-
ton and the Wyoming State
Utilities Commission before COM
ing to Washington.
Mrs. Ross Adds Tribute
And last night. Americas first
woman Governor, Mrs. Nellie
Tayloe Ross of Wyoming, former
Director of the Mint, recalled
with pride that she re-appointed
Mr.. Draper to her States Utili-
ties Commission. She said she
would like to think that gave
impetus to his larger public serv-
ice here. She paid tribute to his
fine and faithful public service,
his ability, answering integrity
and courage"
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat
|of Wyoming, said the turnout
showed the love and affection
held for Mr.. Draper. He de-
scribed Mr.. Draper not only as
one OF the founders of the Fed
eral Power Commission but said
jokingly ''he helped lay the foun-
dalton of the Rocky Mountains
themselves" He said Mr.. Draper
takes pride that he was a cow
boy, bookeeper and stenographer.
But the Senator said above all he
