Almost incredible to these voteless tax payers was the very first amendment made in the bill last week by the House. Offered by Missouri's Cochran, boldly supported by Majority Leader Sam Rayburn, overwhelmingly-and anonymously-voted by all present, the amendment specifically exempted all members and employes of Congress from "be District income...
Even before the dangerous downwind landing, Sarabia's friends had their fingers crossed. His plane, the Q.E.D., had an unlucky history. In 1934 in the Granville Brothers' factory (Springfield, Mass.) it was built for Jacqueline Cochran to fly in a London-Melbourne race. Miss Cochran was forced down at Bucharest.

In Indiana the McNutt machine behind Senator Van Nuys and in Illinois the Horner machine, allied for the emergency with the Chicago juggernaut of Mayor Kelly & Boss Nash behind Representative Scott Lucas, overrode farmer discontent. In Nebraska only Governor Cochran, who publicized his State's economy and low taxes, survived a Republican sweep. In Iowa, Governor Kraschel was pitchforked out by 40,000 votes, mostly corn farmers'. In Kansas, the sentiment of wheat farmers was even more plain. Said Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace: "The outstanding conclusion...
