Job Of Being A Senator
Tough, Reynolds Learns
Ovnr ;>r the tribulations of being
t unit'd States senator were de
sr.-ided by Our Bob" Reynold:
tfl , jecent interview with Rtlla
Scnroeder of the Washington
The job wasn’t just what nr
!bought it would be, Bob said.
A senator’s job Is not all it is
pictured, according to Senator Rob
,r, p»;.nolds—"Bob” Reynolds to
:ul/ the slate of North Carolina.
The North Carolinian is Just com*1
■leting his first year as a member!
of the upper house, and he says:
it is all very different from the
ay i pictured it. Now I thought,
letore I came to Washington, that
jeing ^ senator would be grand. I ■
jiw myself sauntering into my cl
,icc about 10 or 11 In the morr.
n£. dropping over to the Capitol it
icon and rlosing my office around
■ .10 or 5.
1 thought my evenings would be j
-ent going to receptions, mee'in* j
diplomats, talking to statesmen—all I
bit sort of thing."
A few weeks in Washington, how- j
i *\fr. taught the new senator that j
I r had to get up at 5 o'clock grab j
| i bite to eat be. at his office by 0 j
| ; hr expected to have a few un
disturbed hours to read his man I
and dictate.
Senator Reynolds claims he h-u
the largest visiting and phoning j
romtituency in the country. He ;
-ill match his daily list of caller-, j
nun and woman to man and wom
en. against those of! even Senator (
Willard Tydings.
He rays: "They come to Washing
ton by truckloads ana they ail w ant |
'o see me. I have anywhere from a
hundred to two hundred visitors «
day. About half of them 1 have to'
-e personally. The worst of the
utter is that, a senator can't be on
lie floor and in the reception room
>t the same time.''
The senator's mail is another j
problem. He made. he says his
; * ampinjn on r peisonal ' Bob-.o
you" baai . As a result:
My secretaries might write a
i '•tier o some man I've been caliuig
'ini and cbH him Ml. Jones. There
voulti go a friend forever. And sup
posing they signed Robert Reynold
to Jim's letter He'd think Bo'
fieynolds was getting high hat."
His problem, Senator • Keynote
is one confronting many c.‘
be men from nearby states—ai
• hough he claims he gets it. in big
jtr doses.
His suggestion foi a remedy i,
tor every senator to have three
S4*r.-onal secretaries to answer tnait.h
greet visitors and watch newspapers
for items regarding the senators!'
constituents.
However, he says: "Understand.h
t like mv yob. But it isn't what 1 ji
thought it would be."

Tar Heel Congress
Members Lay Off
InM’Ninch Dispute
\onc Replies To Bailey’s Refpir
To Avg President ftc.'usp To
Re-appoint Him.
WASHINGTON, June 14—A new
ingle to the fight - of Senator
Jailey of North Carolina against
he r:e-appointment of Frank R.
dcNinch of Charlotte to the Fetl
■ral Power commission developed
esterday when it was revealed that!
lye Tar Heel house members are
mnds-off in the tight.
- On June 6, Senator Bailey w rote
:ach of the 10 members a letter
n which he said:
:'f have written the president
igainst the reappointment of Frank i
dcNinch to the Federal Power j
cmmissirn, I would like for you to
lo the same thing."
Gets No Response
It is a week today since the mem* j
oers all received the notice from1
Senator Bailey, and a canvass ol
he delegation showed that not a
ingle member has taken any ac
ion. Representativ* Robert L
Joughton, dean of the delegation, j
,nd, the recognized leader among j
he house members, said tonight i
No. I have not done anything
ibout it.” Asked if he had replied
o Senator Bailey's letter he said
hat he had not. Other members
aid that they had taken no steps,
,s they did not desire to become
nvolved in the Bailey-McNinch
mbroglio.
'The position of one of the promi
tent members of the delegation
irho has also remained passive was
>utlined to The Observer corres
wndent. Regarded as the position
if the entire delegation his posi
ion is: That a member of the Fed
ral Power commission is named by
he president with “the advice and
onsent” of the senate, that It is
enatorial patronage. or personal
latronage of the president as the
ase may be. and no reason has
een vouchsafed why the house
nembers should become involved.
To Remain Hands-Off
Investigation also revealed that
nless something unforeseen hap
ens that the house members would
emain hands-off, look to their
wn knitting and be content to rec
mmend postmasters in their dls
ricts, and let it go at that. It was
mphasized by one member that he
oped that Senator Bailey would
iot be offended, but that as he
onstrued the letter it was solely
rithin the discretion of the house
lember as to what course he pur
ued.
It is also not definitely known
fhat Senator Reynolds will do. He
>ad not returned from Chapel Hill
anight, where he went to see his
on Mduated from the state uni
ersit^ McNInch’s term expires
une '24. after congress adjourns,
nd it is exprtted that he will be
riven a recess appointment. After
3enator Bailey’s speech in the sen
te today against the confirmation
f Rexford Tugwell for undersec
retary of agriculture, the effect ol
he letter he has written against
IcNinch has caused speculation.
