...newshawk then asked when the President would return to Washington. March 4, replied Franklin Roosevelt, was the date set, but fresh reports which he had just received from abroad about new threats by the Dictators might bring him home earlier. On that vigilant note he cast off and, before boarding the Houston, went fishing...
Lots of baseball fans, loyal rooters for the home team though they are, leave the game after the eighth inning to avoid the crush after the ninth. Last week that kind of discretion may have motivated the resignation of one of Franklin Roosevelt's most faithful and useful sub-Cabinet henchmen: chunky, chipmunk-cheeked Joseph Berry ("Joe") Keenan, 51, who was called from his profitable Cleveland law practice to assist Attorney-General Homer Cummings with criminal prosecutions at the peak of the Kidnap Era (1933) and who stayed on to become chief White House overseer of the Senate, especially...
...differences and combat with united front the lethally effective tactics of Minority Leader Joe Martin in blocking or steering legislation.

He talks to as many as 100 per day, prefers skilled mechanics and machinists, particularly in the automotive trades. Those who accept his proposition must pay their own way to Manhattan, plus $35 toward third-class fare on a German-American liner. Remainder of the fare (about $110) reportedly is paid by a German industrial cartel (Siemens & Halske; Volkswagen; Augsburg Machine Co.; Bosch; Daimler; Opel&Wanderwerke...
