...There have been grumblings by some members of the House committee who knew about it," Muliufi Hanneman, co-chairman of the committee, said yesterday. But, he added that neither he nor other members of the committee knew whether the "rumors" about the maid's salary were true...
Kevin Cash provides a rambling account of Loeb's life, showing him as a Long Island socialite, a 1930s left-winger--he was a co-chairman of the Communist-dominated Committee to Boycott Aggressor Nations--an unsubtle adulterer, and a World War II draft evader.

And she was the forceful co-chairman at the recent Democratic Issues Convention in Louisville. In a recent Redbook survey, 700 Americans were asked to name five women whom they would like to see become that still distant figure: the first woman candidate for President. Jordan, who was named by 44%, led the list...
