WOMAN CENTER OF OKLAHOMA'S POLITICAL ROW 'Mrs. Coi. House’ Defends Governor; Says Her Post Is Sacrifice. The “Most Talked About Woman in Oklahoma” i sthe popular title applied to Mrs. O .O. Hammonts, Confidential Secretary to Governor Henry S. Johnston of Oklahoma and central figure in the present political strife there. What the r 'Mrs. Coloned House” of Oklahoma is thinking about and how she appears la told here." BY BETTY KIRK (Written for the United Press) OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Oct. 28.—T0 Mrs. O. O. Hammonds, private secretary to Governor Henry S. Johnson, her office entails the "greatest- personal sacrifice any woman can make.” Mrs. Hammonds has been called "the Mrs. Colonel House of the Johnston administration” and the “Governor-in-fact” of Oklahoma. She will, it is said, be a central figure in the special session investigation which Oklahoma legislators are attempting to bring against the Governor. Yet Mrs. Hammonds avows that both titles a,re malicious and that she will have no part in the investigation except as she does her duty in serving the Governor. Alert, Fierce Energy The two qualities in the Governor’s secretary which impressed me most were alertness and fierce energy, both of which she possess to an extreme degree. \ She is of medium height and has brown, bobbed hair. Her face is short and her eyes show fatigue. But to see her greeting the politicians, lobbyists and friends of the Governor in quick succession one does not wonder that she tires. Both times that I have interviewed her she has placed me with the sunlight in my eyes and her in a shadow, a maneuver which Dumas has said is “characteristic of women and diplomats.” Loyalty to Governor "My duties as secretary to the Governor have involved the greatest personal sacrifice that any woman can make,” she told me. "Because I have paid my loyalty to Governor Johnston and the State, the corrupt politicians have accused me of every political and moral crime. . "With them it is a matter of vengeance. I have stood between them and the Governor, but only as

money in an attempt to wreck the Governor when his chief crime has been honesty and diligence,” she added. “It is not the legislators who are agitating this thing-Mt, is the men who have attempted to boss the Governor’s office and failed.” To the statement that she is attacked because she is a woman, Mrs. Hammons says, “Pooh-pooh." “A true man respects a true woman anywhere he sees her,” she said. “No, it isn’t because I’m a woman that they malign me. It’s because a group hasn’t been able to corrupt the Governor’s office.”

AMERICAN ACCENT IS HIGH IN BRITISH FAVOR Oxford Drawl Gives Way Rapidly to ‘Veh’ of V . 8. Ru United Press LONDON, Oct. 28.—The American voice is the latest interest in London’s fashionable circles. It has superseded the Oxford drawl and the public school accent which have reigned supreme in polite English society from time immemorial. Starting in a year ago as a fad by an exclusive clique of West End night-club goers, the cult of the

American voice and American pronunciation has spread rapidly. Its growth and popularity have been fostered by the increasing number of American actors and actresses on the English stage, now being received into the most impregnable social fastnesses. “Yes,” in smart circle has become “yen.” Killing Law Is Elastic * Hu Tinned Press SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Oct. 28 Although nobody was in an automobile that rolled down a hill and killed a pedestrian, Michael Torcia, 19, owner of the car, was fined $220 for “reckless driving.”

THUG’S FACE IS LIFTED BUT BAD HABITS STAY Lectures on Good Done Him, But Goes Back to Prison SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28.—Jim Dady came out of prison three months ago, a chastened, wiser, but still very ugly man. “A guy with a mug like mine,” he wailed, “hasn't got a chance to go straight. Nobody will give me a job, just because I was made to look like the popular conception of a criminal.” So Jim had his face remodelled by plastic surgery and lectured

from pulpits and before women’s clubs on this new and successful method of rehabiliating criminals. But the plastic surgeon forgot to remodel Jim’s habits when he fixed his face. Daly is in btd again, facing a sentence of from one to six years. 1,062 Die in Crossing Wreck Ru UUited Press WASHINGTON.
