Prestige Low,
Nixon Reports

NEW YORK, Oct. 26 (AP)-
Former Vice President Nixon
arrived today from q Paris bus
mess trip, said he has never
seen American prestige abroad
lower than at present.
There Is q feeling that
President Kennedy Is trying
hard and is sincere" Mr.. Nix
on told an airport news con-
ference. but there is a quail
ity Of uncertainty"
Too many voices are speak
ing out In Washington" he
said, adding that II have never
been abroad when American
prestige was lower than it is
now"
Mr.. Nixon asserted There is
a feeling that no one is in
charge. The attitude is a re-
Election that government by
press release is catching UP with
the administration"
He complained that you
have to read both the afternoon
and the evening papers to
know what is going on"
Mr.. Nixon predicted q q. O.P
victory in 1864 based on what
he termed "a very striking in.
crease in Republican chances
and a sharp decrease in admin
istration popularity in the past
three or four months"
And he advised New Yorl
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller anC
Senator Barry Goldwater o
Arizona to debate the issues /.
they become candidates for the
Republican presidential nomi-
nation. Senator Goldwater had
turned down q Rockefeller bid
for such a debate.
Added to that, Mr.. Nixon
said. the @. o. P. candidate
probably would have to debate
the Democratic candidate,
which he assumed would be
President Kennedy.
II may say that it might be
well for the Republican nomi-
nee to get in some practice, :"
he added.

day, he said, the growth rate Is
80 per cent and the unemploy-

would result in 9 million, or II

Baker Barred as a Founder
Of Capitol Hill Private Club

HOUcII ". NbODDy) Baker
was one Of the founding fathers
OF a discreet little private club
frequented by Senate admins
trative assistants, lobbyists and
their guests on Capitol Hill.
The Quorum Club, Inc, fol
which the former secretary OF
the Senate majority served as
secretary during 1861, its first
year of operations, occupies
three rooms on the second floor
Of the Carroll Arms Hotel at
First and c streets NE.
Thomas F. Heslop of IS z
street NV, until last May the
manager of the Carroll Arms
said formation of the club was
his idea.
"A group of men got together
and formed it in the first part
OF '0l, ne said. They felt they
needed a place to go by them
selves a place to take
guests"
He and Thomas Pickford
president Of the Carroll Arms
were instrumental in organizing
the club, he said, because they
felt 1t would be good for bust
ness at the hotel.
IncorpOratOrs Identified
ncorporators Of the club, ac-
cording to MIR. Heslop, were Mr..
Bakers law partner, Ernest C.
Tucker; Axel W. Oxholm, who
shared law offices with Mr..
Tucker and Mr.. Baker at 1000
P street NV, and Frank
Weiss. whose name has popped
up in connection with two 9TH
er firms with which Mr.. Baker
has been linked.
II asked Mr.. Tucker to in
corporate the club because !
needed q lawyer and he was
handy" Mr.. HeSlop said. I've
never had any dealings with
Mr.. Oxholm and Mr.. Weiss. I
don't even know them"
The club is primarily for use
Of members and their guests at
lunch time, Mr.. Heslop said. It
is open from IL am. to 8 pm.
Monday through Friday.
Drinks sell for 81 apiece and a
$3.50 buffet luncheon is served
When the club was formed, it
was decided to limit member
ship to 100 local residents and
100 non-residents. Those who
wish to join must be sponsored
by a member and approved by
the membership. The initiation
fee is $3.50 and annual dues
are $48.
Few Congressional Members
Mr.. H eslop acknowledged
that many Of the members are
lobbyists although he said a
number Of other businessmen
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-10-27

are also members. Relatively
few members of Congress be-
long.
Among those who do, he
said, are Senator VILLA m S,
Democrat of New Jersey, Rep
resentative Ayres, Republican
OF Ohio, and Senator Church.
Democrat of Idaho.
Mr.. Ayers, one Of the few
members Of the club from the
House side of the Hill, which is
relatively far from the Carroll
Arms, helped Mr.. Heslop to or
ganize the club.
The motto Of the club, he
said, is from Proverbs:
Happy is he who keepeth
the law"
The club, he said, has a
strict. mwritten law a gainst
table hopping. There Is also q
rule, he said, that the sliding
door between the room con-
tanning the bar and another
smaller room may be partially
closed for privacy-but it is
never to be closed entirely.
Two Club Entrances
The clubrooms have two en-
frances. Each of the doors was
originally marked with a large
g" but Mr.. Heslop said some
one made off with the %"
from the door behind the
newsstand.
Members carry special anod-
lied al u minum cards labeled
with four 'fGis."
Mr.. Baker, who resigne d
from his $4,000 Senate post on
October 2 amid questions about
his widespread outside inter-
ests, quit his job as secretary of
the club more than a year ago,
because Of the press of other
duties, Mr.. HeSlop said.

to Mr.. Baker, were Scott l.

Calvin H. Plimpton, Amhurst

THE RED CROSS MUST STAY
THIS ISLAND must never be with

THIS ISLAND must never be without a chapter OF the
American Red Cross. Such a situation would be tragedy, pure
and simple, and would place us among the very few places
on earth where the Red Cross cannot remain because the
people will not support it. That must never be.
ANY DISCUSSION of the Red Cross is difficult, for it
runs the risk of having to tell the world what it so well knows
In every disaster, in every corner OF the world, IN war, IN IN
peace, the first, with the most, and with its extended hand
is the Red Cross. 1t cuts across lines of every description,
asks no questions, ut responds, coming to the rescue.
IN CROIX, many a hurricane has brought the Red Cross
on the run. One OF the worst Of these was 1915, then another
in 1923. Can anyone imagine what the situation would nave
been but for the Red Cross? In each and every one OF these
tragedies, when hurricanes left many homes flat in their wake,
the Red Cross, because of how it works, could come to the
rescue. s
TITS UNFORTUNATE, indeed that things had to reach
the point where loss Of a charter had to be even mentioned
With our awareneSs of the Red Cross and its work, with our
understanding of what is taking place in the world, it is no
less unfortunate that we now have to put on a special drive
to retain our charter. How in the world did such a situation
come about?
BUT ALL Is not lost. We know what is involved, and
what has to be done, and it should be necessary only to re-
mind our people of what has to be done, and there is every
confidence that the response will be nothing less than full
and complete. A committee Of pubhc-spirited, and wenInown
citizens comprises the board, and each and nevery one of
these citizens stands ready and willing to give OF his time,
effort and knowledge to this great cause.
BEFORE month of March is out, our people will
haye9made sure that our charter will remain with US, We
need the Red Cross, and Weare resolved to keep It, es
