...quietly did Colonel Donovan take over these duties last week that even his mail could not find him. Wayne Coy, one of Franklin Roosevelt's special assistants with "a passion for anonymity"-and at present, as executive secretary of OEM, the President's No. 1 trouble shooter-gave up a suite of offices in the State Department Building so that Wild Bill Donovan could move in. Then a mail carrier turned up at the entrance desk with a registered letter for Colonel Donovan. "Donovan?" said the watchman. "I don't know of any Donovan." The letter went...
Hired Man. Claude Wickard was growing beyond his own soil. Wickard began working in extension projects, traveling the State, talking to farmers. In Indiana, farm politics and State politics are often the same thing. In 1932 Wickard became Democratic precinct captain. A slim, dark young fellow, Wayne Coy, then publisher of the Delphi Citizen (now rapidly becoming President Roosevelt's No. 1 trouble-shooter), got Wickard's friends to persuade him to run for the State Senate.

Volunteer groups all over the U.S. - especially women's clubs and American Legion posts - have long been active...
...prominence of Coy and Smith underscores the fact that there is no longer such a thing as a little cohesive group of New Dealers who can be called Braintrusters, or the 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. Corcoran, Cohen-are separately employed to the point of scatteration...
