...after the President's pronouncement against lawyer-lobbying. Michigan's eloquent Senator Vandenberg flipped out of his desk an antilobbying bill of his own design. The Vandenberg measure would: 1) prohibit National Committeemen of either party from practicing law before Government departments and 2) prevent any Government employe from soliciting funds for his party. The President shrewdly took the Republican bill under his large political wing, suggested that the first prohibition be expanded to include all Government has-beens...
Buick has rounded off its rear end to conform with aerodynamic principles but its design has not been radically altered. ''Knee-action" wheels, automatic choke and power brakes make for 1934 comfort.
