Abed last week were not only Franklin D. Roosevelt (see p. 15), but Salvation Army General Evangeline Booth, after a brief collapse from the heat; Democratic National Committee Boss Ed Flynn, with bronchitis, after measles; ex-New Jersey Governor Harold G. Hoffman, following a hernia operation. Ill again of dysentery was Kermit Roosevelt in London, where failing health forced him to resign his commission as major in the British Army...
...House cared enough about the bill to show up last week for a vote to override the President's veto. Of the 280, 153 wanted to override, 127 said nay. The motion failed for lack of the required two-thirds. Representative Francis Walter, Democrat, of Easton, Pa.

Directors, all bona fide Democrats: Educator Alan Valentine, president of the University of Rochester; redheaded John Hanes, ex-Under Secretary of the Treasury in the New Deal; Lewis Douglas, ex-New Deal Director of the Budget.

S. voters could not identify liberalism, they could spot a liberal without trouble. Liberal, in the sense that he is an ex-New Republican, is Columnist Walter Lippmann. Liberal also is Historian Charles Beard. While Liberal Lippmann plumped for repeal of the arms embargo, hammered at the Communist-Fascist threat to democracy, Liberal Beard wanted the embargo kept, lashed out at "giddy minds and foreign quarrels" like an outraged professor lecturing unruly...
