...this point, repeal of the arms embargo, and Senate adoption of the Pittman neutrality bill, seemed imminent certainties. Even the much-ignored and resentful House would probably whip through a bill in a few weeks, the wisemen believed. Congress might well adjourn before Thanksgiving...
...debate that counts, in either house of Congress, comes when a bill is being amended. Then legislators are working spontaneously with their wits and tongues to shape and perfect legislation. Full-dress debate, such as last week's in the Senate, is almost as empty of reality as the cook books and tracts that filibusterers read into the Congressional Record.

This son of a mail-carrier father, who went off to college with a $5 bill in his pocket, who sings There's a Gold Mine in the Sky and Mother Machree on campaign platforms, would have been jobless on Dec. 12, if he had not inherited Senator Logan's seat.

...double bill that harps a little too consistently on its tune of social significance still makes claims to being good entertainment. The combining of "Our Leading Citizen" and "These Glamour Girls" was unfortunate, but both pictures have many points that recommend them. In the main feature, Bob Burns gives a healthy demonstration of tolerance as a philosophy of life. His portrayal is of a homely lawyer who patterns his ideals after those of Lincoln. In fact, a bust of Lincoln reigns over his office desk. None of the acting in the picture is exceptional, and none of the parts...
