The Hoover Week

President Hoover last week was spared the embarrassing necessity of saying yes-or-no to the pardon petition of his one-time Cabinet colleague Albert Bacon Fall, now No. 6991 in the New Mexico State Penitentiary. Bribee Fall's plea for executive clemency got no farther than the Department of Justice where Attorney General Mitchell announced that it was automatically denied because it lacked the approval of Trial Judge William Hitz and Prosecutor Atlee Pomerene.

P:Conference followed White House conference again last week on unemployment. Senator Fess predicted that President Hoover would have a Relief Plan ready before Congress meets in December. Jouett Shouse, official mouthpiece of the Democratic Party, publicly demanded "more positive action and less theoretical investigation."

P: Half way to his Rapidan camp for the weekend, President Hoover ordered his car stopped for a picnic luncheon. Over a seven-rail fence the President helped his guests, then followed in two steps. Sandwiches and drinks were brought from the trunk rack, spread under big Virginia oaks. Motorists paused along the highway, gaped at their President having fun.

P:Last week President Hoover received Egyptian Minister Sesestris Sidarouss Pasha (presenting letters of credence). President Walter F. Dexter of Whittier College, Calif, (to discuss his book President Hoover and American Individualism), President Richard Waldo of Mc-Clure Newspaper Syndicate (to report on business conditions after a 10,000-mi. U. S. trip), Editor John B. Chappie of the Ashland, Wis. Daily Press (to denounce the Brothers La Follette as Communists), General Superintendent Ernst Stoltenhoff of Coblenz, Germany (to say "How do you do, Mr. President?").
