ABSTRACT: Talk story about attending two meetings of local lady politicians. First went to the Women's National Republican Club to attend a Joint Meeting of the School of Politics and the 1956 Election Campaign Committee, with a sandwich lunch, and later in the afternoon, the Spring Workshop of the Democratic Women's Workshop, with a sandwich supper, at the George Washington Hotel. Sen. Goldwater of Arizona, was scheduled to speak at the first of these affairs but he couldn't come; his administrative assistant, a Mr. Farrington spoke. Mrs. Edward Ewem Anderson, pres. of the club, read a letter from Pres. Eisenhower. At the Democratic affair, a film entitled "You Can Win Elections" was shown; the star of it was Melvyn Douglas. After a sandwich supper, there was a skit called "What Kind of Deal is This?", written by Mrs. David Lilienthal & acted by the Workshop Players. The skit was to be followed by a panel discussion on such topics as discrimination, the farm problem, and the present sorry state of affairs in Washington. Writer left before it took place.
