While the charges which Dr. Wirt has levelled against the Brain Trust seem at first sight to be an effective bid for publicity, it is becoming apparent that beneath the external hullabaloo there is at least some basis for such an indictment. Felix Frankfurter's "hot dogs," the youthful element which he has introduced into the Roosevelt circle, have been using the word "revolution" with careless abandon. Mr. Richberg in several of his speeches has said we are in the midst of one. People acquainted with debonair Rexford Tugwell, knee deep in ideas for economic planning...
Just why there should be so much hullabaloo about resignations from the National Committee is hard to see unless it represents the beginning of a real era of virtue in American politics in which people in office shall be completely dissociated from party politics. It is hard to believe that an administration which has given so many public offices to party workers and political chieftains, in disregard of the principle of merit which for many years has been the hope of the better Government forces in America, has any such idealistic purpose in view.

Lincoln, Henry Ford's sole representation at the Show, featured better ventilation on its line of V-12's. Franklin, only air-cooled make in the U.

...knew it! One just can't evade it. We mean all of the hullabaloo that has been raised during the past year or so.

There Ought to be a Law against such things, you may feel, but William Seagle thinks that there ought to be a law against useless laws, and he tells you why in his new book (Macaulay, $1.25), a compilation...
Disclaiming any inconsistency, Major Namm & friends stoutly retorted that the Drug Code was out & out price-fixing, that theirs was no more than a limitation of loss. But when the N. R. D. G. A. suddenly realized that the manufacturers under cover of the retailers' hullabaloo were quietly passing codes containing similar restrictions against selling below cost, it was highly indignant. Last week it announced that representatives would henceforth attend all hearings on manufacturers' codes to see that nothing was put over on the retailer...
