"Gives 'Em Hell"

At Denver last week convened the International Association of Lions' Clubs. No. 1 speaker: Mrs. Mabel Elizabeth Walker Willebrandt, onetime (1921-29) U. S. Assistant Attorney-General. Said she:

"I know President Hoover. His methods are unspectacular; his purposes are inflexible. As a result he is misunderstood. During the last winter the Senate has taken the applause and the President has had the boos. The mud slingers, sarcasm manufacturers and editorial croakers have had an inning. But the President has not permitted himself to be deflected. . . .

"He can't perform. He's too busy. He avoids a fight as long as possible. But when it becomes the only alternative, he gives 'em hell . . ."
