Mr. Neville proceeded to resign from NRA because he felt "entirely out of sympathy with the manner in which NRA's program is being conducted in agricultural states. . . . The price of agricultural products, including livestock, in Nebraska today is less than was the case when the program went into effect...
...tails. His practice of having all Aldermanic meetings opened with prayer earned him the nickname "Holy Joe." As Acting Mayor, he announced before a patronage conference with Tammany Leader John Francis Curry: "I am an organization Democrat, always have been, always will be."

Dunning, became Candidate McKee's campaign manager. Observers believed that the President's hand had been forced after prognathous Mayor O'Brien had made such an unimpressive showing in the primaries which nominated him to succeed himself a week before...
...witnesses in London arose and riddled every possible story the Nazi prosecution could present in Leipzig this week. Dr. Paul Herz, onetime secretary to the Social Democratic Party in the Reichstag, claimed that the incendiaries could not have entered the Reichstag except through a tunnel leading from the official residence of the Reichstag President, Prussia's barrel-chested Premier Hermann Wilhelm Göring. A onetime Police President of Berlin testified that 1,500 arresting warrants were ready for use immediately after the fire. Liberal Editor Georg Bernhard and Social Democrat Chairman Dr. Rudolf Breitscheid agreed that the Nazis...
