...experience calculated to turn even Conrad's seamen green around the gills. A hurricane begins when wind velocity reaches 75 miles an hour. On the second day the Archimedes, its rudder gone, is broadside in a 200-mile blow and the barometer has dropped out of sight. Hatch covers are sucked off like corks out of a bottle.

Each was voted down by a close margin, the first by three votes and the second...

Hatch urged the Christgau ouster as another argument for an amendment to the Lend-Spend Bill (see p. 11) to bar WPA personnel from "interfering with an election or affecting the results thereof...
