YARN OF TIPSY CONGRESSMAN STIRS CAPITAL Two Intoxicated at Hoover Parley, Is Gossip in Washington. By l nilnl Press • WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—A gossipy story has been circulating in 'the capital for some days that two members of congress were intoxicated when they attend the White House conference at which President Hoover discussed a business stabilization program. Since there are no acceptable tests for alcoholism except under conditions to which none of Hoover’s conferees was subjected, it scarcely could be established that any or either of the two gentlemen present was drunk or sober. But memories of the evening persist in Washington. A prominent prohibition member of congress recently was discussing the White House conference. He remarked that one of the gentlemen who is alleged to have imbibed was quite effective in countering certain proposals advance by Hoover in the library that evening. Dry “Almost Convinced’* The prohibition member, in fact, was impressed favorably by the cogency of his colleague’s arguments and, being himself no political friend of Hoover, he joined the argumentative one in some of the protests , directed against the Hoover program. “He was the best argument against prohibition I ever saw or heard,” said the dry in reference to his thirst-quenched colleague. “I was almost convinced.” The question often is asked in Washington why members of congress who vote dry and drink wet are not exposed by the press or by someone. The answer usually is that to allege intoxication might be libelous. Exposure Once Threatened The fate of the country editor who published a story describing the late Theodore Roosevelt as a drinker, still is remembered here. Tile editor suffered considerable | humiliation in the courts. A capital newspaper caused a | flurry of interest three years ago with a bold editorial asserting that ! in the approaching session of con- : gress the paper would endeavor to expose drinking congressmen—or j perhaps merely to expose those who j appeared on the floor of either I house under the influence of liquor. ! No exposures have taken place to j date, although most persons famil- I iar with congress could name two j or three members off hand who ob- j viausly had been drinking. Night sessions of either house are likely to lead to over-indulgence by one or two members.
