...reach the President's nostrils, but now, under the indivisible fellow named Knudsenhillman - capital & labor, $1-a-year and New Deal-the confusion had at least been departmentalized, into Priorities, Purchases, Production. Filed for future reference were $1-a-yearling Ralph Budd (transportation), and three New Dealers, Harriet Elliott (consumers), Chester C. Davis (agriculture), and Leon Henderson (prices).

And a kaleidoscopic flashback on World War 1 backs up Professor Elliott by showing that Harvard Square really is a very disagreeable place compared to a battlefield. Jack Oakie, though, provides some of the best mugging since he annexed a paunch and gave up Joe College roles; and he slips a couple of resounding swats past the censors' guard smack on Grable...
Dick Noone at center teams with Gordio McGrath and Bill Claflin for the second line, and the third line which may see action is composed of George Gebelein and Caleb Loring at two of the posts. Jock Elliott and Dem Lloyd are engaged in a struggle for the other wing. George Dreher and Bill Stedman line up as spare defensemen...
