been active in the league
since 1919, has been its
treasurer the past two years,
and that her conservative
principles, unbiased atti-

tiles, friendly approach and
sense of humor qualify her
to ably fill the position"
Mrs. Sweeney's aims are
listed as: ITO make the
dream of our new clubhouse
come true, to extend mem
berShip, to increase member,
ship participation and to
work for a Republican Con-
gresS."
The statement, which was
mailed to all league members,
was signed by Mrs. E. B.
Berry, chairman of the nomi-
mating mittee, Mrs.
Henry Taft Snowdon and
Mrs. Fisher.

"Mccarthyites" support one
Of the candidates. Still an
other bears on one candi-
dates alleged support by
the social" elements in the
party, as opposed to the
bedrock political element.
Mrs. Hatch is the wife Of
a physician, with whom she
shares the hobby Of raising
boxer and Weimaraner dogs,
in a big old house on Jeffer-
son place. Before her mar
riage in the 1930s, and for
several years thereafter she
pursued a busy career as a
light opera and sometimes
grand opera singer. The
Hatches have, no children.
Mrs. Hatch supported Sem
ator Taft for the presidency
in 1852, but her supporters
point out that her record
proves her loyal support for
Mr.. Eisenhower since his
nomination. They also say
some original "Ikers" now
support her.
Mrs. Sweeney is the wife
OF a lawyer who specializes
in international aviation law.
Mr.. Sweeney was general
counsel to the General Serv-
ices Administration until a
year ago. The Sweeneys came
to Washington from their
home town of Rock Island,
Ill, in 1898. She has been
active in church and civic
work.
They live in a big house on
Nebraska avenue, with their
five children. The house

which the Sweeneys have
often turned over to Republic
can groups and which Friends
School Summer Day Camp
has used for all its classes
for several years.
Mrs. Sweeney's friends ex-
plain that she has held only
one Office in the District
League because in 1850, at
the request Of the National
Federation Of Republican
Women (parent body Of the
league), she and nine other
women banded together to
form the Rock Greek Repub-
lican Club in nearby Mary
land, an area then without
a G. o. P. women's group.

intervening years, they main

The District League Of Re-
publican Women Is heading
into an election fight which
has overtones OF the sizzling
battle which rent the organi-
cation two years ago.
To date, the present con-
test Is a pale copy Of that
earlier battle. in which the
air was filed with charges Of
"illegality," packed meet
ings," "Old Guard VS.. Mod
ern Republicans" and al
legged dictation by the State
Central Committee.
Only in private telephone
conversations are such things
being said this time.
Election May 4
This years controversy
was kicked of early this
month. at a general member
ship meeting to nominate
candidates to run the league
for the next two years. The
election is May 4.
Immediately after the
nominating committees list
of candidates for % posts
had been presented at the
meeting. one member Of the
committee, Mrs. Clarence
Fisher, took to the floor to
propose another candidate for
president, Mrs. Edward c.
Sweeney currently treasurer
of the group
The committee had nomi-
mated Mrs. Paul H. Hatch
(this years first vice presi-
dent), for president.
Although nominating COM
mittee sessions are supposed
to be secret, it soon became
widely known in the club that
the seven-memher group had
split 4-3 in selecting Mrs.
Hatch, with the other three
votes going to Mrs. Sweeney.
Hatch supporters maintain
Mrs. Fishers nomination Of
the candidate the committee
had rejected was highly inn
proper" although they con-
cede it was technically legal.
Everything's Polite
Compared to the strongly
worded charges that were
flung around two years ago,
everything is very polite this
time - on the surface, at
least.
Each side says, for the
record, that the others can
didate is "a fine woman,
too"
A statement issued Thurs
day on behalf of Mrs. Swee-
ney, by the minority three
some on the nominating
committee, is the essence Of
miIdness and sweet reason
ableness. There is not a word
of criticism of Mrs. Hatch.
In fact, her name is not
mentioned. Even the praise
for Mrs. Sweeney is couched
in gentle language.
Her election is urged on
the ground that she comes
from q long line of active
