...latest theory brought forward by Professor Allen is that the sea-serpent mania comes as a direct result of the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Another contributing cause may be the complexly of modern life which demands some from of psychological release from the worries of the N.R.A. Sea-serpents were never seen by the sailors on the clippers which sailed out of Salem in the old days. It takes warm spring weather and a brisk tourist service to develop really good monster crazes...
...Barney Thome Phillips, Chaplain of the Senate, raised his hand and began "Our Father, which art in Heaven. . . ." Piously the 3,500 businessmen mumbled the familiar phrases. The prayer over. General Johnson, who had just concluded a four-day wrestle with the critics of NRA (see p. 15), stepped forward to begin his second wrestling bout, this time with the code authorities.

His desire to expedite matters...

The total cost of his project was $63,000,000 additional - a small sum compared to the cost of the whole recovery program. Shipstead, the Farmer-Laborite, 27 of the 35 Republicans, and 12 other Democrats swung in behind...
