Republican balance sheet as of April 1 is much less impressive. The party has no leader. The only claimants to the title -Messrs. Hoover, Landon, Borah et al.- are not compelling personalities. G. O. P. had 17,000,000 votes at last count but these were able to elect only five Governors, seven Senators, 89 Congressmen. It has no patronage to speak of. In place of able Mr. Farley it has brash Mr. Hamilton, whose talents, whatever they may be, have not had a chance to develop in the atmosphere of stale controversy which has surrounded him since...

Geiger indignantly dismissed it, after hearing that Robert Jackson was trying to arrange a consent decree on the side (TIME, Nov. 22, et...
Washington has been expecting Mr. Hosford's exit ever since his commission was forced to drop its entire schedule of minima when courts found they had been prepared without requisite public hearings (TIME, Feb. 21, et seq.). However, Franklin Roosevelt last week asked Chairman Hosford to remain on duty until April 30, thus provoked an uproar. Gloating over Mr. Hosford's downfall, the minority group in the commission, which has long opposed him, called him into executive session and asked him to get out of his office at once. He did so. John L. Lewis and Senator Joseph...
