Sunday night.

Dear Doctor Allen:

Am only now beginning to catch up “a my correspondence
after three whirlwind viske here. I am out at the Capitol on the Sen-
ate side is addition to covering major sports events, whenever they
cums alonge | :

Your letter enabled me to turn in my first story, and
you may have seen it in one of the Missouri Valley papers.

T had an @hjoyable interview with Paul o! Leary, former
K, U. track star. He is in OPA, Another former Kansas man here ip
Jake Engle, on the AP regional desk. Wasn't he one of your stars?

7 What is going to happen in the Big Six in football,
Doctor?

Tuesday, I have an assignment to cover a meeting between
congressmen and war department officials on the proposed service otc s al
teams' Championships. I would be interested in your reactions to this,
or anything else that you see bobbing up in the national picture, I
have always found that your observations are well ahead of others,

Washington has stolen my heart, as it dans of almost
everyone, I suppose. +t ig beautiful, fascinating, swift in devel-
Cpments, and there are so many interesting places to go that I find
it difficult to adeiae on a certain one. But you probably have been
here many times and know the town much better than I do,

It was kind of you to write so promptly, Doctor Allen,

and I am most grateful to you. Your letter was like a tw slap on th

 

back right when I needed it. May I hear from you again soon
