Reporting on a family weekend at Hyde Park, Columnist Eleanor Roosevelt last week wrote in My Day: "After lunch yesterday my brother [Gracie Hall Roosevelt] wanted to go over to look at a barn which the President is interested in changing into a house. As usual, the President thinks it can be done far more economically than the rest of us do. I was glad to have my brother bear me out, but our combined arguments had no effect on the President, who said cheerfully: 'Well, we will wait and see,' with the calm conviction that he could...
From the books of communist units and affiliates, and from two Party almoners (including Earl Browder's suave, little-known brother William), the committee adduced that $10,164,730.91 passed through 43 Party organization accounts between 1935 and mid-1939. Brother William as treasurer of the New York State Party took in $1,302,177.13, disbursed $1,296,997.80 in 1937-38.

Although the British censor passed several conflicting reports on this affair (see p. 25), a later "official report" set the gossip straight. A German squadron had indeed started over Chatham. Home fighters had indeed gone up. But so prompt were they, so excited their brother gunners below, that when they returned (after scaring off the German eagles) their own guns powed them. One British pilot crashed dead...

Ordained together, they had promised some day to teach in the same college. For twelve years, while Father Louis taught in Kansas City, Father Francis taught in Denver. Transferred at last, he found his brother with bags packed, on his way to Denver...
