...will change his title to "chairman." Two members of the Board, besides Mr. Eccles, have been added to it by President Roosevelt: John Jacob Thomas, 66, Nebraska farmer-lawyer and Democratic politician; Menc S. Szymczak (pronounced Sim-chak), 41, who was Comptroller of Chicago under the late Mayor Anton Cermak. If either of them has White House assurances of reappointment, he is keeping the fact strictly to himself...
Codeball-on-the-Green was invented in 1929 by Dr. William Edward Code of Chicago to oblige his friend, the late Anton J.

Nash, and State's Attorney Thomas Courtney, picked Edward Joseph Kelly, chief engineer of Chicago's Sanitary District, to be Mayor. Big, red-haired Irishman Kelly and his political friends did not have an easy time. The Hearst papers strewed their path with thorns, broke the news that Mayor Kelly had to make a tax settlement to the Federal Government of $105,000 because of $450,000 income which...
