Distracting though it might be, Economy was only a froth on the turbulent riptide of Congressional feeling about the President's Court Plan.

"When inhaled in higher concentrations," he said, "it is a violent irritant of the mucous membranes and reacts chemically with the mucus to form a thick froth which . . . stops the air supply to the lungs almost completely in a minute...
