BIGGEST SHOW

IN WASHINGTON

BY JOAN MARBLE

THE biggest show in Washington, week in and week out, is the Presidential press conference.

It should be. It is the one chance the American people-through the American press and radio-get a chance to ask the boss! "How are things going?"

The President does not have to hold press. conferences. There is nothing in the Constitu- tion that says he must meet reporters and answer thair questions. But ever since the days of Theodore Roosevelt, Chief Executives have sub- mitted themselves to the pointed, blunt question- ing of the press.

And if you were to attend one of these con- ferences, you would actually feel why they are so important-why they have come to be a part of America's democratic system of government, In the consistent drumbeat of questions. "Mister President, Why?.. . Mistor President, did you? . Mister President, will you?

When? Mister President, why?

. How? Who " ... in that verbal tattoo, you would- hear the American people asking the same ques- tions.

THE presidential press conferences are held in the President's cheerful, green-walled oval room, looking out on the rolling buck lawn of the White House.

The reporters gather in the lobby shortly before the hour set-usually about 100 of them. They toss their hats and coats on the huge, round mahogany table in the middle of the room-and they talk together in groups. You
