...notice in TIME. Dec. 16, that Hoover is asking for appropriations for another commission. This "beaver man,'' as you called him last year, is undoubtedly starting things moving.

Likewise abuse was heaped upon the President's appointment of Richard Joseph Hopkins as a U. S. Judge in Kansas, charged with accepting speaking fees from...
