Last week came evidence to prove that Tom Heflin's infinite persistence merited not sympathy but admiration. A quick question from the Birmingham News & Age Herald's Russell Kent caught Attorney-General Homer Stille Cummings off guard, forced him to admit that Mr. Heflin had been doing some kind of nebulous work for the Department of Justice since July 1936. Salary: $6,000 a year. The New York Sim's Phelps Adams dug deeper, learned just how much old Tom had to suffer in his supplication for jobs: after six months on the payroll...

Under Senator Hitchcock the World-Herald became an influential organ of liberal Democracy, with William Jennings Bryan its editor...
...brought the second in, even the very nicest of them are apt to pose the purely philosophical question, "Are we doing right by our boys to let them go on losing like this? Shouldn't something be done about it?" And then the man behind the Herald Tribune says, "Do you suppose they're getting a really sound grounding in fundamentals?" After this the third one over in the window rouses himself violently from his lethargy by drawing on his almost dead cigar and states, "It's not so much the fundamentals, but the don't seem to be getting...
