F A woman is nominated for Presi- dent on the Democratic ticket| about 30 Summers hence, she probably will be Edna Mae Nance, pretty red-headed cousin of Vice | President John Nance Garner. | The young lady from Texas is su- | pervisor of the stenographic pool of the Agricultural Adjustment Adminis- tration in the daytime. She sttends law school in the eve- nings and will be gracuated next June ‘und?rsunds German from National University. In her spare time Miss Nance is| learning to speak Russian, studying uncer Father John T. Dorosh, an assistant in the Slavic Division of the | Library of Congress. ! A Democrat by birth and convic- | tion. she is spending hours these days at the headquarters of the Young Democrats of the District, assisting | young New Dealers in the coming| campaign. She is a member of the | organization both in Washington and in Texas. Plays a Little Golf. Besides these activities, Miss Nance manages to get in a little golf and does her own cooking in the apart-| ment she shares with another girl. | Miss Nance is one of those astound- | ing members of the younger genera-| tion who makes one wonder uneasily what one does with the 16 hours a day one is not working. When interviewed | today at the Young Democrats’ head- | quarters in the Colorado Building, she | appeared cool and unruffled, charming with her auburn hair, fair skin and hazel eyes. The Nance family lives in McAllen, | Tex., & town of more than 50 per cent Mexican population, seven miles from the Mexican border. It is not far from Uvalde, the Vice President’s home. | Mother Runs Citrus Farm. | Fdna Mae's mother runs a citrus “'THE WHITECAP" {above] in all white, brown or gray suede. A-S'-BECK farm and her Iather, John W. Nance, a first cousin of Garner's, is a promi- nent attorney in the Lone Star State. “There aren't any boys in our family,” Miss Nance said, “but father and I hope to form the firm of Nance & Nance anyway, after I have been admitted to the Texas bar.” A graduate of the University of Missouri, where she took pre-legal work and majored in romance lan- guage. Miss Nance already speaks | and reads French and Spanish and “fairly well.” She is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, and of Kappa Beta Phi, honorary legal sorority. She has been working and reading law in Washington two years and will return to Texas next Summer, pre- | pared to assist her father with his practice. Occasionally Hoesick. Although Miss Nance likes living in the Nation’s Capital, enjoys seeing the Vice President and Mrs. Garner. and keeps herself fairly busy, she admits 1f you have ever stopped at the Hotel Piccadilly, or intend to on your next trip, write for a free copy of ‘1,001 Faocts about New York!"

The city is the terminal of the inter- national bridge, the Mexican town on the other side of the Rio Grande be- ing Rey Nosa. “We cross the border for bull fights or cock fights when we get bored with the movies,” Miss Nance says. In McAllen Mexicans stroll about the streets, playing guitars and accordions on Summer evenings. The Nances live on the edge of town. Mrs. Nance's grapefruit ranch being on a part of their land. They keep horses and Edna Mae has been riding trails along the Rio Grande Valley since childhood. “Would you like to go into politics?” Miss Nance was asked. Wants to be Judge. “I believe it would be interesting,” she replied, “but at the moment I aspire to being a Juvenile court judge some day, that being a profession in which women members of the bar are welcomed. The closest I've gotten to the courts so far was being a court reporter in the county circuit courts at home for a time.” Although Miss Nance almost ended her active life and promising career when she overturned in a canoe on the Potomac River last Summer, and was dragged from the water un- conscious, the Nance-Garner-Texas tradition doubtless will bring her to the achievement of any ambition she elects. But if the Nation is to have a woman chief executive and com- mander in chief of its armed forces eventually, as is frequently predicted these days, by all means let that woman be as tireless as Miss Nance. NICE UNDER FIRE FOR APPOINTMENT Somerset Party Leader Raps Nam- ing Mrs. Phoebus to Cen- sor'’s Job. By the Assoctated Press. CRISFIELD, Md., June 19.—State's Attorney S. Kirk Maddrix, Somerset County Young Republican leader, said the appointment of Mrs. Harry T. Phoebus to & State job “just about breaks the camel's back” of county Republicanism. Mrs. Phoebus, wife of Harry T. Phoebus, Republican Senator from Somerset, was named by Gov. Harry W. Nice to fill a vacancy on the State Board of Motion Picture Censors. ‘The post pays $2,400 yearly.

Nice was forgetting loymy and rewarding en- mity. “Senator Phoebul was against Gov. Nice before the primary elections, and for months after the Governor was elected he was the Governor's most bitter critic.” He charged that: “First, Mrs, Phoebus did not need the job; second, Senator Phoebus has not been loyal to the administration; third, there are so many deserving Republicans * * * needing jobs * * ¢ that to pass them by is anything but showing appreciation for the service they rendered; fourth, another fam- ily affair.” “Can such appointments as this,” his statement concluded, “lead to any road but that of pmy dissension?” 'LYNCHBURG IS LASHED WITH CYCLONIC WINDS Gale Accompanying Thunder- storm Brings Heavy Damage to Power Lines and Parks. By the Assoctated Press. LYNCHBURG, Va., June 19.—A severe thunderstorm used its most effective weapon — cyclonic winds, lightning, driving rain and hail—to give Lynchburg one of its worst beat- ings in many years late yesterday. Inestimable damage was done to parks, where valuable trees were up- rooted; thousands of dollars of de- struction was brought to communica- tion and power lines, and police worked overtime to keep pedestrians off live wires wrenched from poles by falling debris. The storm converted day into night for a short while. During its height at 4:30 p.m. visikility was not as good as it is at dusk. Lights were turned on in buildings, on the streets and automobiles crept over wind and rain lashed streets with headlights ablaze. Temperature Records.
