...presidents called Francis Gorman a traitor, and Mr. Hillman scoffed: "Mr. Gorman's attempt is doomed to failure, because he has no organization and no following." Mr. Gorman promptly fired the vice presidents, thereby indicating that he now looks upon himself as the head of an independent union, distinct from both...
...erecting a huge new dining system to satisfy the needs of the law students and all the other graduate students. The chances of an immediate undertaking in this direction are unfortunately remote. Therefore as a temporary expedient, it would seem much more practical to set up, instead of two distinct graduate eating organizations, one large all-inclusive society.

Since the Republicans now have 88 seats in the House, the Democrats 328, par for the election will be 138 Republicans, 278 Democrats in the next House of Representatives...
