...months the industry has had a pretty good idea that FCC would tell NBC to get rid of Blue. Plenty of people have tried to buy Blue, such as ex-District of Columbia Commissioner George Edward Allen, and even more have been said to have tried, such as Tommy Corcoran; but with all radio in flux, all such attempts have come to nothing. Radiomen guessed the likeliest turn at Blue would be no sale to outside interests, but independent status for the network as a separate corporation, with its stock going to R.C.A.'s present shareholders...
...Janizariat. To tackle the great problem of his first term, Depression, the President had a powerful braintrust: Raymond Moley, Donald Richberg, General Hugh S. Johnson, George Peek, Rexford Tugwell-all now off the scene. The so-called Second New Deal-Robert Jackson, Harold Ickes, Leon Henderson, William Douglas.

John Steuart Curry, Thomas Benton, John Sloan, Reginald Marsh, Alexander Brook and many another headliner of U. S. art last week exhibited canvases in the biennial show of Washington's Corcoran Gallery-for the biggest cash prizes ($5,000 worth) any U. S. artist can hope to win.

Berle and The Cork enthusiastically dislike each other; Hopkins has "stabbed" Corcoran so often that the Janizariat often wonders if there is a fresh spot left for the knife. What they all now think of Associate Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy could...
...leaked out from Washington last week in little whiffs of rumor, in planted "true stories" circulated by each interested faction. The whole truth would have to wait for historians. In general outline, the plan appeared to be like this: On or about April 1 the President is to appoint Corcoran as Assistant Secretary of the Navy in charge of air. Perhaps sooner, Robert Lovett* will be made Assistant Secretary of War in charge of air. Robert Lovett, 45, a World War I Navy ace, publicly an unknown, is an able, coolheaded New York investment banker (a partner in Brown Brothers...
