The other day some of the elite of Washington society were engaged in controversy over Mrs. Robert, when Senator Reynolds of North Carolina, about to lead a 20-year-old bride to the altar, threw in his two cents worth. He opined that he did not approve of Mrs. Robert. The Senator was able to express only about two sentences of disap- proval when he was interrupted by Mrs. A. Mitchell Palmer, lovely widow of Woodrow Wilson’s Attor- ney General. “Senator,” snapped Mrs. Palmer, “didn’t you accept an invitation to a cocktail party which Evie Robert gave day before yesterday?" “Oh yes, it seems like I did drop in there the other day,” recalled the Senator. “But I just wanted to town for a week and wasn’t expected back?” pursued Mrs. Palmer. “No! Is that so? You know it's right hard for me to keep track of Chip.” And then Senator Reynolds added brightly, “But I only dropped in at that cocktail party !or a m}n- ute.” 5 our freezing of Japanese funds, and in case we get even tougher with Japan, contrasts vividly with the State Department appeasement pol- icy toward Japanese spies in the in New York, including a Japanese foreign language officer who was a representative of the Japanese gov- ernment. Hoover had the goods on him cold. But though it never leak- ed out, the State Department would not even permit to arrest the Jap- anese. He was told to go back home. Shortly before this, Hoover's G- Men also arrested a full fledged of- ficer in the Japanese Navy, Lieut. Commander Itaru Tatibana, for bribing a U. S. Navy man to sell him naval secrets. Tatibana’s room was full of what he thought was import- ant naval information at the time of his arrest—thought it was out of date and phoney. The Japanese Lieutenant Commander was held on $50,000 bail until the State Depart- ment intervened and forced the Jus- tice Department to send him back to Tokyo. Having these spies in cus- tody now would have come in handy for putting pressure on the Japanese to release the 100 Americans. (Copyright, 1941, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
