Smart, like other young New Dealers, but a far better politician than most, he had already proved himself useful in securing support for the Works Relief Bill. Last week the President called him to the White House to consult with Speaker Byrns on getting the Security Bill passed. If the Speaker could not lead the House, the President was willing to send a leader from the White House. Thoroughly bucked up, Speaker Byrns shortly spoke up to say that the Security Bill would pass...

They are recent graduates of the college and well acquainted with the problems that beset the average man. Yet what student now would consult his dean if he was dissatisfied with his tutor? Or if he felt a complete change of environment was needed, but, owing to ironclad regulations, could not leave his House? This kind of problem, quite apart from scholastic ones, is ruining the careers of many students...
