Putting fly in ointment of "McNutt-for -president" boom. Washington, D.C., April 21. If he continues the pace he is setting to date, Rep. Albert J. Engel, Republican of Michigan, appears certain to throw the "monkey wrench" into the gears of the "McNutt-for-President" boom which got underway during the past winter. Rep. Engel is pictured studying plans he dug up for the two palaces, "Summer" and "Regular" which as high commissioner of the Philippines, McNutt wants built as Commissioner's residences in islands. The proposed palaces are to cost $500,000 and $250,000 respectively. Rep. Engel takes great pride in pointing out that plans for the palaces include 18 lavatories and bathrooms with a seating capacity of 43, 4/21/38

This is a very important picture. Washington, D.C., Oct. 27. A photographer was covering the White House yesterday, snapping pictures of important men after they had conferred with President Roosevelt on his way back to the laboratory he happened to notice thse two little girls, Patricia Freeman and Frances Gross, having fun sliding on the new railing that leads up to the executive offices. Anything around the White House thats new, makes news, the editor though so too and also an very important one becuse there are very few other Capitol cities on this troubled globe where it would catch a photorgapher's eye, Imagine Berlin, or Rome. Imagine even Buckingham Palace, imagine the palaces of rulers the world around, and then try to imagine two little girls having fun sliding on a railing. SS Troopers in Berlin, Grenadiers at Buckingham--verboten-you can't do this you know, vigorous shooing away from the Plazzo Venesia in Rome. But here the little girls slide down the railing an it doesn't seem to affect the affairs and progress of government and as long as the little girls can keep on at their fun, our president and our government are safer for us than if all the SS troopers in the world stood by to make it so, 10-27-38
