...perpetually shifting line-up of the New Deal, one of the least permanent jobs in Washington has been the important legal post of Chief of Counsel for the Bureau of Internal Revenue-whose legal policies toward taxes and taxpayers have lately been increasingly stiffened and dominated by onetime Law Professor Herman Oliphant. Clarence Miles Charest, who held it in 1933, moved out to make room for Elijah Barrett Prettyman who moved out to make room for Robert Houghwout Jackson. When Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau's good friend Bob Jackson was elevated to Assistant Attorney General last winter...

The Exposition's answer: In 1932 the city had passed an order "that there shall be no charge against the Exposition for water"; the Exposition had paid...
...this was raw material for a very pretty business feud, but President Shaughnessy declined to make it into a finished product. He kept his head, kept his own counsel and kept Transamerica on the board through a temporary technicality. By last week this breathing spell had cooled everybody off. The Exchange gracefully came down off its high horse, "requested" the listing; "A. P." as gracefully agreed. President Shaughnessy remained in office and San Francisco's brokers strode down Nob Hill jauntily once more...
