...York's much-needed 47 electoral votes for the New Deal. Democrats hastily analyzed their list of other possibilities. They could hardly spare Postmaster General Farley from his management of the Presidential campaign, though he craves the position of Governor. Tammany also dislikes 44-year-old Robert Houghwout Jackson, now an Assistant Attorney General whom New Dealers regard with fond eyes for his work as assistant general counsel of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (TIME, March 4, 1935 et seq.). More likely possibilities, if Governor Lehman refuses to accede to a frantic '"draft" movement which developed...
Jackson. To take Mr. Wideman's place, Attorney General Cummings snaffled one of the brightest of the New Deal's young lawyers from the Treasury Department: Robert Houghwout Jackson, the Bureau of Internal Revenue's Assistant General Counsel.

Up bobbed Counsel Hogan to cry "Irrelevant!" His objection was sustained. Again Counsel Jackson devoted an elaborate series of questions to showing that in the crisis of 1933 Mr. Mellon...
Smalltowner. For Robert Houghwout Jackson, 43, the Mellon hearings meant a maiden appearance in the national spotlight. He appeared to dislike it. Only last year his boyhood friend, Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, plucked him from a prosperous but relatively obscure private & corporation practice in small Jamestown, N. Y. to be general counsel of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Shy, husky, genial, he likes to dance, ride over his farm near Jamestown, boat on Lake Chautauqua. To newshawks he protests: "I've never done anything. I'm just a country lawyer." But after two weeks of curt, pointed...
