Washington May 10. In Washington over derby weekend the capital was hard to reach Sen Alben Barkley’s office. Flo Bratten flew to Louisville while Mint juleps sold cheap as Willard hotel crowds watched the Run for the Roses. Nixon received a letter from a fan doubting the country’s fitness for war, blamed on nudist magazines. 30,000 patrol kids, led by AAA, marched in the city, causing minor trouble for Rep Leverett Saltonstall as he tried to enter the Senate. Rep Jack Brooks of Texas delivered two minutes twenty seconds in a farm bill debate, while Rep W R Poage also talked peanuts. Rep Clare Hoffman reminded Poage that saying you is a rule violation, prompting a switch to you all.
