Henry Blair called on the Secretary November 6. He was en route to Washington, his place of business, from his home in Manchester, N. H., whither he had gone, good citizen that he is, to help elect a governor and other state officials.
Six Eighty-niners, Bartlett, Blakely, Flagg, Frost, Noyes, and Wellman, joined members of contemporary classes for their annual after-the-game dinner at the Boston City Club, October 27.
An error in the November issue of the MAGAZINE must be corrected. It was stated that Warden was in Washington for ten days in September, attending the annual meeting of the American Association of State Highway Officials, of which he is president. A recent letter from Warden tells us (1) that he is to preside at the annual meeting of the Association, to be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, beginning November 12, and (2) that he was in Washington in late October and early November, attending a meeting of the Transport Committee of the United States Chamber of Commerce, of which he is a director. He did not tell us why he was in the Capitol in September, but we know that he goes to Washington frequently both for matters connected with his business and with various civic interests to which he gives generously of his time. Incidentally, his youngest daughter is in school in Washington.
The decision of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia that the Railroad Retirement Act was unconstitutional, handed down by Chief Justice Wheat, October 24, has received such wide editorial comment in the press, throughout the Country, that it seems unnecessary to add to it here. Furthermore the Secretary does not feel qualified to discuss such a technical and controversial subject.
Secretary, 87 Milk St., Boston
