Presidential candidates, potential declared, with whom Stassen talked included Senators Taft (Ohio), Vandenberg (Mich.) and McNary and Representative Martin of Massachusetts, the house minority leader.
The young Minnesotan was highly optimistic as to Republican prospects in the coming campaign, predicting his party would sweep the middlewest and defeat President Roosevelt there, if the chief executive should be a candidate for a third term.

NEW YORK, April 29. (P) The song has ended but the melody lingers on for the girls who once gladdened the eye in the Ziegfeld Follies, and so they gather a frolic at the starlight roof of (thE Waldorf-Astoria. The girls, in case you didn't know, have a club- the Ziegfeld club- to which girl appeared under the Ziegfeld aegis can belong. At least, nearly every girl. A few have been barred.
The club's theme is "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody," but the blond beauty who used to stroll across the stage of the New Amsterdam theater when that air was played wasn't at the party. Jessie Reed at reports was an unsalaried hostess in a Chicago cafe, living on tips. was in earliest of the Vera Maxwell, was there. She W. K.

But a good many weren't there, because they probably were afraid of being "dated" by contemporaries who might remember aloud they were toasts of Broadway; others because they were far away and broke; and many have died. Aside from having fun the girls sold tickets to raise funds for their less fortunate friends of the great days. Some people in Washington don't like Mr. Dewey's reference to it as "a boom town."

GRAVE PROBLEM TO FOLLOW WAR Reorganized Economic World Must Come, Belgium's For- mer Chiefs Says. WASHINGTON, April 29.
(P)- Paul Van Zeeland, former prime minister of Belgium, told organized American business men tonight that the fate of civilization would depend largely on part this country played in a reorganization of the economic world after the European war ends. Before the American section of the International Chamber of Commerce the Belgian statesman declared that no country could believe itself safe from disorder if disorder spread over the rest of the world. The nations fighting the war will pay a price entitling them to write the peace treaty themselves, he said, but once the peace is made the entire world at will be confronted with grave problems. Van Zeeland mentioned as one possible step after the war the redistribution of this country's huge gold stores through loans. Without referring directly to the fact that of all the gold in the world, he said.

Declaring the world must increase production to repair the war's damage and meet the needs of the masses, the speaker said that freer exchange of goods must be at attained. Applauding Secretary Hull's program of reducing tariffs by rocal trade agreements, Van land said, however, that neither this nor the creation of groups trading freely among their own members would meet the situation fully. War Policy Debated.
