a-INPIKNDtNt STAK.NIWS. SUNDAY. JAN. 17. HtO CAPITAL CHATTER Reporter IMs Dues Behind; Kmtnedfa Ruly By ROBERT E.

LEE and BILL BROOM 'WASHINGTON Just a year has passed since Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected to to the National Press Club as an associate member--the classification covering persons who qualify as sources of news. The 5150 initiation fee was waived in the President's 'case but club officers expected that he would produce the $50 a year in dues inquired of all members. They're still waiting for Ike's dues, although he--like other members--has one month of grace before he gets a dunning letter from the dub. Harry S.

Truman and Herbert Hoover, the only linying ex-Presidents, also are members of the club and always come through with their dues, as does Richard M. a club member who -hopes to be the next President. JACK Kennedy, who also hopes to be 1he next chief executive, raised a big 'stir here when he showed up for a press conference to announce his candidacy wearing an entirely different haircut from what the capital had known. The unruly Kennedy hair had been trimmed to a shorter--and presumably more presidential looking length. One day last week the editor of a national barbers' magazine called the senator's office 'to ask the name of the man who had wielded the shears.

It developed that hadn't gone to a specialty tonsorial shop for tjie new hairdo; he simply went to his regular barber at the Senate barbershop Higely, by name. Another Capitol Hill barber, one who works on the House of Representatives side and prefers to remain anonymous, offered this cap- side comment on the opening tof Congress the other day: "Those guys are always the same. The minute they get back to Washington they start talking about when they're going to Barber shop odds are now even money on pre-July 1 adjournment--in time for a breather before the Democratic national convention opening in Los Angeles July 11. IT WON'T show up anywhere in official records, but Senate Republicans in effect have an additional member of their minority group this year. The records continue to read 36 Republicans and 65 Democrats but in I960 there will be two North Dakotans voting regularly with the GOP instead of one.

This is becaus the late Sen. Bill Langer, although nominally a Republican, voted with his party only about a quarter of'the time last year, while his successor, former Gov. Norman Brunsdale, is expected to be a party regular most of the time. OVER'IN the Pentagon, where almost everything is known by initials, there's, a new substitute for the time- honored SNAFU. It's FUBB, which means Fouled Up Beyond Belief.

House members a unhappy about Speaker Sam Rayburn's decision against including a $200,000 swimming pool in their new office group of young congressmen approached the speaker with a plan that wouldn't cost the government any money. They would produce 200 members who would contribute $100 each to the cost of construction. But Rayburn turned them down flat, and some of their brethren are breathing easier. They're relieved that they won't have to make continual explanations to constituents about the pool, which surely would be regarded as a luxury, not a health, item. SOME WELL-heeled Republicans last week announced plans for a $3.5 million national GOP center on Capitol Hill to provid office and club space for the faithful.

Plans call for a Joseph W. Martin Building, named in honor of the Massachusetts congrssman who was twice speaker of the House, a Douglas MacArthur Room, a Robert A. Taf Auditorium and a Herbert Hoover Library. This prompted- a Democrat to comment that it is likely to be the most lopsided building ever constructed. "Nothing but a right wing," he said.

Since its construction in 1956, the national headquar- Published Sunday only at 525 E. Colorado Pasadena, Calif. SUNDAY, JAN. 17, I960 No. 348, New Series, Vol.

California's Congressman Charlie Gubser complains in his news letter that his tiny office is so crowded that his 1 employes have only half the cubic footage of work space that the government requires in the living quarters of a Mexican contract laborer. "It appears that we who write the law which insures proper working conditions for employes have become its worst violators," says Gubser.

He has managed to compress five office' girls, five typewriters, a "nose- powdering corner" for his female staff and the office percolator into a 23xl8-foot room.
