some politician feels he has to go on record

with something safe but headline-catching, and the cocktail party has replaced reckless driving in this respect. :

Sen. Morse Takes Turn

SEN. WAYNE MORSE, the professorial Oregon Republican, had his turn last year. Mr. Morse denounced late afternon swigging. Bald he wanted Congress to .set an exampie of “simple living,” or something. Sen. Paul Douglas, the freshman Illinois Democrat, chimed in to say there were so many cocktail parties in this town a man never got a chance to get any work done. 2 , It's true you can have your choice of a halfdozen cocktail parties a day here, but that doesn't prevent you from putting in a day's work if you start early enough. There are two kinds of parties—the small affairs where all kinds of political and diplomatic deals are supposedly pulled, and the big hotel routs where as many as 1000 persons will be invited for a community swig.
