However, committee offic- | ials, checking their books, were | forced to call up the Secretary of Labor and inform her that she had paid only $25 for 1939, and owed them $75 on last year's dinner. Furthermore, they told Miss Per- kins, as politely as they could, she | could not attend this year unless the $75 were forthcoming. | So the Secretary of Labor sent her | check for $50. This, added to the $25 sent earlier in the day, made $75. But again the Democratic Nation- al Committee had to call Miss Per- kins back and inform her that while the dinner bill for 1939 was now paid in full, she still had to pay $25 in order to secure her place for 1940. Miss Perkins protested a bit at this, but finally sent round her third chedk, this time for an additional $25. Up until recently, Miss Perkins had not paid the $75 balance still due the committee for 1940, and of- ficials are wondering whether Miss Perkins will be on deck again for the dinner next month. NOTE: Miss Perkins contributed £300 to the Roosevelt campaign fund during the recent election, explain- ing that she woull give more later. But she never did.

In his farewell speech to depart- ment emplovees when he retired to NOTE: New York Demecrats are predicting that Farley will seek the | governorship in 1942. He is Chair- man of the State Democratic Com- mittee, LONGEST SPEECH Tom Dewey got a thrill and a chuckle from his luncheon at the | Capitol with Floor Leader Joe Mar- tin and other House Republicans. The thrill was an invitation to be the principal speaker at the GOP Lincoln Day dinner, which the am- bitious District Attorney accepted with alacrity. The chuckle was evoked by a story about the “longest political speech on record” which gangling, curly- haired Representative John M. Rob- ion of Kentucky, a member of the Lincoln Day Committee, said he made when he first ran for Congress in 1918. One hot July night during the campaign Robsion addressed a big ~rowd in a county courthouse and was amazed by the enthusiastic re- ption. Cheers rent the air with ery sentence and there was a vociferous “more, more” when he tried to conclude after an hour. Spurred by the applause, the young candidate continued hjs har- angue, but after three hours had to quit from sheer exhaustion. The crowd nearly tore the courthouse down when he descended, limp and perspiring, from the platform. As he was leaving with the local sheriff, Robsion boasted: “These people sure were enthusiastic to- night. It looks like this county is in the bag.” * private business, the formzr Post- master General said he had two re- | quests to make. “Buy Coca-Cola and go to see the New York Yankees play when they're in Washington,” Jim urged with a grin. “I'l need your support if I'm to make good from now on.” “Don't set too much store by the way them fellers carried on, Jack,” confided the sheriff. “Nobody there (hic) was sober but you.” LORD LOTHIAN'S DEATH ‘There is much disappointment and | | dollar credits from his American business.

David Lloyd George, whom Loth- ian once served as secretary, once expressed the view that Washington | usually killed its British Ambassa- dors. And although Lloyd George did not then know that his secretary |was to hold this post, his words probably explain, in part, the sudden | death of Lord Lothian, “The men we send to Washing- ed Press, “are accustomed to our British climate and they have gear- ed their lives to its tempo. Then they reach America, and your drive, | drive is frightfuly stimulating. They start rushing around, going places and trying to do too much. They do not realize they are overdraw- ing on their resources, and they either die or break down.” The doctors of Washington have an additional explanation for the passing of Lord Lothian, which is all the more tragic because they believe his death could have been prevented. NO DOCTOR PRESENT Lothian died of uremic infection, a condition that comes only after failure of the kidneys to function properly, which failure normally prevails for weeks or months before uremia sets in. In other words, a patient knows that he is ailing long before the ail- ment becomes fatal. And the med- ment can be checked by regulation of the diet and other living habits. A patient might live indefinitely, and pursue a fairly normal course, under such treatment. But Lothian, firm in his religious beliefs, (he was a Christian Scien- tist), sought no such treatment, and even when he became seriously ill, four days before his death, gave explicit instructions not to call a doctor. ‘Therefore, no doctor attended him The basehall season is months sorrow in Washington over the death | off; and Jim; according to last re-, of Lord Lothian.
