...silver Congressman was found on the list. Democrat Joseph Tumulty and the wife of Democrat Jouett Shouse made small headlines as silver owners but neither the onetime secretary to Woodrow Wilson nor the wife of the onetime party manager could be called insiders with the silver bloc. Notable catches were Errett Lobban Cord, member of the Committee for the Nation, owning 1,651,000 oz.; Frank A. Vanderlip Jr., son of another member, owning 300,000 oz.; Amy Collins, treasurer of the Radio League of the Little Flower, mouthpiece for ardent Silverite Father Coughlin, 500,000 oz.; A.

More like a golf cup. than a political post, the House seat of Louisiana's 6th Congressional District was last week put up for competition for the third time in ten months. Mrs. Bolivar E. Kemp, widow of the onetime incumbent, won the first leg in a Democratic primary (tantamount to election) railroaded through by the Huey Long machine (TIME. Dec. 18 et seq.).

Representative Samuel Dickstein, a small, slick Tammany Democrat from Manhattan's Bowery district, got the House of Representatives to adopt (168-to-31) his resolution to create a special committee to investigate everywhere throughout the land "the extent, character and object of Nazi propaganda in the U. S. and the diffusion within the U. S. of subversive propaganda. . . ." Last winter Congressman Dickstein, who chairmans the House Immigration Committee, went through an unofficial dress...
...would be ratified. The Roosevelt prestige and popularity, if nothing else, would put it through. Last week when the roll call was taken only 46 votes, 13 short of the necessary two-thirds majority, were cast for it. Of the 42 votes against it, 22 were cast by Democrats. Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, a stanch Democrat, led the fight against the Administration...
