JOYING REST FROM CAPI- TAL ACTIVITIES By HERBERT PLUMMER (hy Asnocinred Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.— Word drifts up from Texas that Vice President Garner is ‘‘bass- catching and sunshine-basking” down home, far from the storm and strife of the capital. Indications are that his ease will be interrupted only once within the next few months. “Pa” Ferguson, former governor of Texas and husband of the present one, on his recent trip to Washing- ton, intimated that “Cactus Jack” ‘will mount the stump some time in the near future and say some- thing to help the cause of repeal of the eighteenth amendment along down in the Lone Star state. However, that’s “Pa” Fer- guson’s view. The vice president hasn’t said yet whether he will or not. Garner has given the impression since March 4 that, after all, the detachment from governmental af- fairs that is necessarily the lot of the vice president, is not so irk- some to him. One rather imagines he is en- joying it. ; Seems To Like It Much was said and everybody speculated as to how the ruddy- faced, energetic Texan would re- act to the vice presidency. About everyone agreed that he would find it difficult to settle down in his new job after the exceedingly, active life he had led in the house, especially during the last two years when he was speaker. But it wasn’t long before it was noticed that the vice president was absent from the senate cham- ber and his office on afternoons. Usually those afternoons when the Washington baseball team was playing on home grounds. And perhaps if you were around the ball park on one of those afternoors you would see the vice- with the medal- of rice of thé ” side, roll into the reserved enclosure k of the clab house on time for ¢ game.

By ‘ways to roam on @ pleasant after- noon. His physical presence at senate sessions all the time is not neces- sary. As a matter of fact, no vice president has ever attempted to be religious in his attendance. For one thing, he can do nothing but sit and listen. he speaks is when he rules on some point of parliamentary procedure. " So usually the vice president designates some senator to occupy the president’s chair when he gets tired. Sometimes as many as half a dozen senators will preside during one afternoon. If the necessity for his presence in the chamber arises, he is al- ‘ways available. Even if Garner were in his box at a ball game, he could be reached and be at the capitol within 15 minutes.
