McCarthy's Charge
Against Miss Kenyon
One of the Funniest
ee
DE PARK, Friday—Sen Joseph R. McCarthy, in choosing
the name of Miss Dorothy Kenyon for his first “revelation”
ie
me very i informed——fors of course, in making such accusations"
ate Departiient, seems te
he would not, f feel sure, allow himself to be partisan.
Miss Kenyon has long been well
known io many women, nol_only
fi New York City but also in
other paris of the U.S. As Well
as in other countries. She has be-
louged to innumerable organiza.
tlons; and even if she did _jgin
some that turned out to be so-
called subversive “ones, ~ every
woman Who knows her would be
sure that Miss Kenyon's inten.
tors” were good.” _
“~The only” possible criticism of
Dorothy Kenyon [ can think of
would be that she hoped at times
to accomplish more good things
than L believe can be achicved all
at one stroke. But to Imply that
she is a Communist, or t
Way Subversive, is éne of the tun
nlést Things ever _spggesied, Any
woman who has served with Miss
Kenyon in any organization, or
tatked with her at any time, will
dismiss this accusation with a
smile. If all of the honorable Sen-
ators “subversives” are as sub-
versive as Miss Kenyon, I think
the State Department is entirely
safe and the nation will continuc
on an even keel
HE March winds yesterday
blew cold and raw, hut when
the sun came out and the sky
cleared, you forgot that three
minutes earlier a snow squall was
sweeping across the field and
making you ceiver’ H had a
chance wa w the dogs.
Se Teas found time to go
thru piles of manuscrip!s, maga-
—.
n any
zines and pamphiets which had
accumulated beside my desk ever
since last summer.
Severai friends came in to tea,
ene of them somewhat Jate after
spending an hour and a half ex-
tricating his car from the mud
in the woods. That is also a sign
that March is really here, with
the mud instead of the snow and
ice forming the real barrier to
motoring over certain roads. In
any case, I have no desire these
days to motor, I want to use my
own legs and fee] the companion-
ship of my two litlle dogs, then
come back wilh foy to the open
flve and a book,
Tl * Lt
I HAVE. an advance copy of a
fascinating volume at the mo,
ment; but it is hard to finish ones’
reading, for the days are neve
jong enough up here. There is ae
much to do and so little tire,
even tho I remind myself of the
dictum my mother-in-law always
used with my children. If they
tried to say that they were late,
or had not accemplished some
thing because there was “no time,”
she would alwnys answer: “My
dears, my Aunt Laura always said
to us: ‘You had al! the time there
was.” Alf the time there was is
never quite enough for me. I
would Jike a few hours added t
both the day and the .night—a
little more time to work, and a
little more time 10 sleep. That
wguldsuds me very well,
