...Senate: ¶ After killing an anti-Sit-Down rider proposed by South Carolina's Byrnes (see p. 18), passed the Guffey-Vinson coal control bill; sent it to the House, which passed it last month, for action on minor amendments.

Litvinoff "Papa"'; Lenin, after trying various signatures such as "Meyer" and "Petroff," became the "Old Man."

His letters show that he was not an opportunist but a confessed "necessitarian."
