...load is getting too heavy. He's trying to run everything. He'll see anybody. Any Senator or governor or anybody else who has his eye on a patronage job of district attorney, or even chicken-feed jobs, can get in to see him and pour his troubles on the President.

Decca is turning out record albums of straight plays with only...
