Custodian of $25 Billion Going Broke As Requests Pour in for Free Samples
By ELISE MORRO WASHINGTON, Sept. 24—The
cial troubles that we have Georgia Neese Clark, the
Ww saddest tale of finanever heard comes from Mrs. gregarious, energetic lady
Treasurer of the United States. With something like 25 billion dollars in her custody, Mrs. Clark, personally, is rapidly going broke. Mrs. Clark succeeded the late W. A. Julian not long ago as

Ever since she got the job, these have been asking her for
Somehow, it has never occurred
to these friends to send In another : dollar for the autographed bill. And ¥ since she can't filch the money from the Treasury, despite her advantageous position, Mrs. Clark has to pay
the souvenir dollars herself. It's
getting awrully expensive, she says.
Mrs. Clark's boss, Harry Tru-
man, goes in for this rather extrava-

measure against inflation, Mr.

spent. He can afford it a little better than Mrs, Clark, however, since he is somewhat better paid. Further financial note: The bell boys in all the best Washington hotels are relieved that the international monetary conference 1s ‘over. They complained bitterly that the world financial geniuses who flooded money talks, in which astronomical sums of money were discussed in a dozen different lan- , were the most miserly tippers in history. “They were even stingier than the Daughters of the American Revolution,” one bell captain exclaimed. That's all we have to say about international finance except to report that Drucie Snyder, daughter of our Becretary of the Treasury, says Sir Stafford Cripps is ticklish, The definitive Washington wedding of the season comes off next Thursday when Frank Rediker, a very well-known capital “extra man,” and Princess Tawhida Halim, divorced wife of an Egyptian prince, will be married at the Princess’ suite in the Mayflower Hotel. It will be definitive because the courtship was conducted almost exclusively in the cocktail lounge of the Mayflower, a perfumed, gilded Httle slum

‘Snake Pit' Table
For more than a year, the Princess and her finance have lunched at the same table in the Lounge, barring only Bundays, when the Lounge, is closed, or periods of brief absence from the city. The table, because of some earlier habitues, bears the unfortunate stigma of being known as “The Shake Pit,” but love always seems to manage. to find a way. They would arrive dally around 1 o'clock; drink a few gin mixtures before lunch, and eat and talk until 3:30 or 4 o'clock, when it was time to think about dressing for ‘vocktail and dinner time, The
