...President's Secretary of Commerce announced that U. S. national income might reach 70 billions this year, that he meant everything he said at Des Moines (TIME, March 6), that "Johnny Hanes and I have a substantial meeting of minds."

Last week Tom Mooney walked out of jail, and it seemed that Felix Frankfurter would step as easily into the Supreme Court. Felix Frankfurter had become so relatively inoffensive that last September the arch-conservative legal profession, Gallup-polled, gave him five times as many votes for the Court as any other candidate. As a Senate subcommittee got busy to consider whether Felix Frankfurter should be called Associate Justice, busy Professor Frankfurter declined an invitation to appear in person, deputized his friend Dean Acheson to represent...
