Does politically-alert TIME feel in its own heart that Publisher Frank Knox is presidentially possible [TIME, Oct. 14]? Its recital of his life's work to date reads like that of any other tycoon of the street who has learned how to make money and employ it wisely. A reader of the Chicago Daily News ever since Candidate Knox took it over, and long before. I have never known it to profess a political creed other than standpat, high-tariffed, hands-off Republicanism, the creed of the American debacle...
AAAdministrator Chester Davis were early callers, "bringing the President up to date on our activities." To bolster their corn-hog vote campaign (see col. 3), they later got a statement out of the President in which he declared AAA was on the books to stav.

Publicity Director Boyd Gurley, one-man brain trust of the Townsend outfit, smoothed things over by declaring that the movement had grown so fast its directors really did not know where they stood. Onetime editor of the Kansas City Post and managing editor of the Indianapolis Times, for which he won the 1929 Pulitzer Prize "for the most disinterested and meritorious public service." Braintruster Gurley writes most of the Townsend Weekly, bats out inspirational speeches...
There is nothing patronizing in Author Brown's account of mid-century interior decorating, when a Turkish Cozy Corner stood in every up-to-date parlor, when piano legs had wide, baby-blue sashes tied to them. Although he occasionally apologizes for the crudities of the day, his book gives the impression that he found the folding bed an impressive contribution to progress, horse cars an entirely satisfactory means of transportation...
