A Dartmouth man has contributed some new material to the "How to Squelch Hotel Clerks' Department," according to Paul Leach's Washington column.

John L. Sullivan '21, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, went up to the desk of one of New York's snootiest hotels with a good friend of his, a lieutenant commander who also happens to be one of the Navy's principal physical directors. He said to the clerk haughtily supervising things there:

"I'm John L. Sullivan. I have been expecting a long distance call."

"So, you are John L. Sullivan," interrupted the . clerk with a reproving stare. "You are sure you are not Gene Tunney."

"No," Sullivan replied quickly, "and just so you won't make that mistake again, I want you to meet Gene Tunney."
