This campaign of intimidation ran for only a few days before Arizona's Stewart Udall, Democratic leader of the swing group, told Zagri off. "You've got a nerve to go calling my state and telling people I'm voting wrong," he snapped. Zagri brazened it out: ''I'm going to get you in line."

The Fed now buys short-term Treasury bills only. The Fed believes that if it bought bonds now, without wartime controls on spending, it would pump new money into the economy, thus nullifying its attempts to control the boom by tightening credit...
