NIGHT LIFE WITH SCRUB- WOMEN 1 Courted by Washington Society, | Brannan is a much more familiar figure to the night watchman at| the Agriculture Department. Al- most any evening you can catch the Secretary of Agricuiture sidestep-. ping water pails and scrubwomen | on his way out of the office. As part of this ritual, he stops at a| scale near the entrance, drops \\‘ penny in the slot, and checks on | how much weight he’s gained. Then he drops in a penny for his sec- retary, Miss Louise Nylander. (Brannan's weight ‘1s 195 paunds. Miss Nylander's is confidential.) The Secretary and his wife share | a modest, one-bedroom suite at Washington's fashionable West- chester Apartments. But it took wim a long time to get it. Even though Secretary of Agriculture, he waited like anyone else, and his application w 't acted upon un- til a few weeks after the election— though he had been waiting seven months. Shortly after they moved into the Westchester, Mrs. Brafinan startled the maids in the laundry room by zoing down to wash’the Secretary cf Agriculture’s shirts, This she ! does herself. A maid tidies up the apartment twice a month, but otherwise, the Brannans have no| servant other than the chauffeur supplied by the Government.

Climax of the presentation was| the award of the Bausch and Lomb honorary science award to Clitford Cole. 3 i From Superintendent of Schools Edwin C. Clark, who resigned his firm, while Mrs. Brannan balanc- | ed the budget by teaching smuol’ It was as campaign manager for | Craig, who ran for Congress, that! Brannan got his first taste of poli- tics. In 1935, he was in the Agri-| culture Department. During the| war, he headed the Farm Security Administration in Colorado, Wyo- ming and Montana,” then came to Washington in 1944. This was just before Roosevelt’s campaign for a fourth term, and Brannan was warned he weuld be out of a job after the election. He came any- how—and stayed. ¥ It was Secretary Brannan's poig- | nant memory of the farm poverty that followed World War I which caused ‘him to work out his cur- rent farm program. That program sounds complicated, though actualiy it is reasonably simple arithmetic. Here's how it works: Under the present program, the Government computes how much a farmer should receive for a dozen eggs. But if hens increase produc- | tion and prices sag, the Govern- ment lhen rushes in and buys up | the surplus eggs. This keeps me price of eggs up—which pleases the' but not the housewife— | and leaves the taxpayers with a stockpile of rotten eggs, plus hand-‘ ling and storage costs. Under the Brannan plan, how- position last week came a farewell message to the student body and, faculty. Awards were made to students participating in debate, publications, basketball, tumbjng, Yrifle club, GAA, cheerleaders, music, skiing| and commercial awards.
