WASHINGTON, W—Trying to
find some Republican in Washing
ton? Well, if he isn’t in his usual
haunts, you might try a remodeled
150-year-old brick building across
the street from the old House of
fice building.
Here, opening this week, is
located an organization new to the
Washington scene — the Capitol
Hill Club. Who belongs to it?
Rep. Japnes C. Auchincloss of New
Jersey, the club’s first president,
gives these qualifications for
membership:
“You must be a gentleman or
a lady, you must be a Republi
can, and you’ve got to have 50
bucks.”
The Rev. Dr. Albert P. Shirkey
of the Mt. Vernon Place Meth
odist Church termed the club “a
sin, a shame and blight on the
country.”
“If ever I have been disheart
ened,” he said in a sermon, “it
was when I learned that within
a stone’s throw of the capital,
there is going to be opened up,
by the new leaders of govern
ment, a liquoF lounge where they
may go for cocktails and then
into separate rooms for confer
ences . . .
“To have the leadership of this
country work out their plans in
a liquor lounge is going to be
a terrible thing for the country.”
Auchoncloss and some friends
thought up the Capitol Hill Club
several years ago—soon after the
Republicans lost their fifth
straight presidential election.
They thought there ought to be
a place for party stalwarts to
nurse their wounds and rally
their spirits for the 1952 cam
paign.
A series of difficulties—finding
a suitable headquarters was the
principal one — delayed matters
until there was no longer a need
for a Republican wailing wall.
One of the club’s first functions,
in fact, will be an open house
for Washington visitors—Repub
lican ones — during next week’s
inauguration festivities.
More than 400 persons, includ
ing some of the biggest names in
the party, already are members
of the Capitol Hill Club.
Their three - story club house
offers them, among other things,
three sedately decorated dining
rooms, a lounge and a small for
men-only bar. For women, there
is a small special dining room.
Bells summon members of Con
gress to the nearby capitol when
there is a quorum call or other
business requiring their presence.
All this cost some $150,000, and
the end is not yet. Warmed by
their election victory, the Repub
licans are talking of an adjacent
seven-story building, to cost more
than a million dollars, which
would house their national com
mittee and affiliated bodies.
Initiation fee for the Capitol
Hill Club is $25. Dues are $25 a
year if you live hereabouts, $50
a year for non-residents. You can
buy a life membership for $1,000.
Who decides whether you meet
the qualifications for joining? An
admissions committee headed by
Rep. £. W. (Runt) Bishop of Il
linois, a one-time tailor who has
been a coal miner and a baseball
player, Bishop is not likely to
demand that applicants be listed
in the social register,1 but they’d
better be able to prove they’re
Republicans.
