PRESIDENT T0 BE PRESS CLUB GUEST - Membership Card Will be Pre- sented at 25th Anniver- sary Party. President Roosevelt has accented the nvitation of the National Press Club to attend its twenty-fifth birthday party ! on the night of March 29. | With the usual qualifications—*if the exigencies of the public business per-| mit"—the President told the newspaper | men that he would be glad to join in the festivities. Years ago, when he was an Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Roosevelt was a frequenter of the old | Press Club. Since becoming President | of the United States he has made ap- | plication for _membership—and _his | membership card will be presented to him at the birth night party, March 29, by Raymond P. Brandt, president of | the club. | On March 29 the Press Club cele- brates the twenty-fiith anniversary of | the adoption of its constitution. To! commemorate that event, a mammoth birthday party will be staged in the €lub auditorium—for members only. | Despite the unusual pressure of public business, because of the acute financial condition of the country, it is believed | tuat President Roosevelt will find it p le co 't away from the White | ouse long enough to help celebrate the Press Club's birthday party. | To Join Press Club. | One of Mr. Roosevelt's first acts upon entering the White House was to apply for’ membership in the National Press Club. His application will be con- | sidered in the regular way by the Board ' of Governors. When, on March 29, he 45 made a full-fledged member, he joins the ranks of his predecessors. All the Presidents of the United States, since the Press Club was born, have been members of the newspaper men’s club. Mr. Roosevelt will be the sixth President 1o hold a card Soon after the organization of the elub. in 1908, President Taft—"who used to be a newspaper man himself"— | Joined the club as a non-active membe: President Wilson, who had been a writer as well as a college president, also became a member of the club on the mon-active list. President Harding. as the publisher ©f a newspaper, was a member of the aticnal Press Club long before he went to the White House. | President Coolidge was an assaciate fmember. After he left the White House | and moved to Northampton he was transferred to the non-resident list. | nly a few days before his death he | nt in his check for the 1933 dues. President Hoover was an associate : nember of the club. Pstmaster General Farley followed | $he footsteps of his chief and immedi- | mtely made applicason for associate | membership in the National Press Club. | It is expected that other members of | the cabinet will also ask for member- | Bhip, since the associate membership fncludes those whose daily work bring them in close contact with the press. Cards To Be Presented. | Membership cards will be presented | o all of Mr. Roosevelt's official family | who have their applications in on time, and to Col. Louis Howe, head of the White House secretariat, who has also | applied for membership. A veteran | newspaper man, Mr. Howe will come in under the non-active “Steve” Earlysand Marvin McIntyre, | the two other White House secretaries, have been members of the Naticnal | Press Club for the past 20 years. Plans for honoring the White House gecretariat — newspaper men all — are being conducted in secret. They are to be the recipients of some sort of reccgni- ticn from their fellow members, but just what this is no one knows, nor will know until the night of March 29, when the National Press Club celebrates its pirth anniversary. 5 = NEWS REPORTER TELLS | OF BEATING OF PRISONER Westifies in Case of Robber Suspect Who Died After Ques- ‘ tioning. B the Associated Press, MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 11.—Testi- | mony that he had seen police beating & prisoner was given yesterday by a newspaper man appearing before a spe- cial grand jury that: investigated the death of a robber suspect who died Monday a few hours after being ques- tioned by detectives. Kenneth Moffett, police reporter of the Memphis Evening Appeal, whose ' gestimony Attorney General W. T.| McLain permitted his paper to publish, also revealed the existence of a “secret” passageway from the cells of the city iml to the room where Lloyd Lowe, the uspect, was questioned. The existence of the passageway was tonfirmed by a former police commis- sioner who served on the grand jury. .. “T also was asked for the other third degree evidence,” Moffett said in his story. "I mentioned the fact that two or three days before Lowe was taken from the station there were two | gubber hoses lying on the window sill | of the questioning room and that they disappeared since he was taken to the hospital.” | Moffett also said that, in addition | &0 the beating of a Negro prisoner which he witnessed, he once saw a| safe robber carried from the gyestion- | ing room. “I could plainly see the bruises on his head,” he said.
