...elder brother of Franklin Roosevelt's former law partner Basil O'Connor, led the House fight which killed the President's Reorganization Bill so enthusiastically that last week his picture adorned the cover of Social Justice. This paper is edited under the guidance of Father Charles Coughlin, whom Mr. O'Connor two years ago was promising to kick publicly from the Capitol to the White House.
