SCOUTS: Brady vice Hoover

• Share

Married to a synonym for industriousness, Mrs. Herbert Clark Hoover is herself industrious. She spends herself on the Girl Scouts of America, whose national vice president she is. Until April, when she resigned the office, she was also chairman of the Girl Scout board of directors. Miss Sara Louise Arnold, the national Girl Scout president, had been ill and Mrs. Hoover, upon whom President Arnold's work devolved, felt that the chairmanship of the directorate was one job too many.

Last week the Girl Scouts' directors elected a new chairman to succeed Mrs. Hoover. They elected the lady who for eight years had been national Girl Scout treasurer, Mrs. Genevieve Garvan Brady.

Mrs. Brady's husband is Nicholas Frederic Brady, famed Manhattan financier. Subscribers to Heflinism, persons who mortally hate and fear the Roman Pope, recalled with alarm that the Bradys are

Roman Catholics, that the husband of the new chairman of the board of directors of the Girl Scouts of America, was last fortnight invested by Pius XI with the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Gregory the Great (TIME, June 25).
