...himself into the Statesman of the Democratic Party and gone voter-wooing (see p. 7). The Vice President was puttering around his home in Texas, fishing for bass, gar and cats in the Nueces River. Congress had been gone three weeks. Most of the Cabinet were scattering for vacation.* Except for the Secretaries of State and the Navy, the only top functionaries of the U. S. Government left in hot Washington last week were the Spenders & Lenders...
...second issue was significant. Whereas the courts have ruled that the President may fire such purely executive functionaries as postmasters in midterm, but may not, except for specific offenses, discharge quasi-judicial, quasi-legislative officers (I. C. C., F. T. C.) who have been appointed for fixed periods. Dr. Morgan was first to raise the question of White House control over the appointed officers of such corporations as TVA.

Nowadays no employer with a grain of sense would tire his men for joining a union.

Of the two most famed rivals, Helen Jacobs, out of recent competition because of an injured shoulder, was not even seeded...
...grossed well over a million dollars in the past three years, took up riding-in-the-park as a pastime, the colored upper crust of Detroit. Chicago and Cleveland followed suit, bought expensive saddle horses. Last week Joe Louis persuaded his wealthy friends to ship their horses to Detroit. Except for the fact that there were only six events and 16 horses (two of them Bing Crosby and McDonald's Choice, belonging to Sponsor Louis), the Utica Riding Club Horse Show was not far different from the flashy horse shows it tried to ape.
