...Legend (by Elizabeth B. Ginty; produced by Guthrie McClintic in association with Max Gordon), half a clowning comic strip, half a romantic daguerreotype, is based on the life of Jesse James. Playwright Ginty, with some support from history, has made James (Dean Jagger) into a droll sort of Jekyll & Hyde who, when not "riding out," is Thomas Howard of St. Joe, Mo., a sober family man with a mousy wife (Dorothy Gish), and a pillar of the local Baptist church...
...Washington from Hyde Park went President Roosevelt at the beginning of last week. He found Secretary of Commerce Roper, just back from Europe, telling everyone not to have the jitters, but anxious reports were flowing in from U. S. diplomats abroad-Wilbur Carr in Prague, Hugh Wilson in Berlin, Bill Bullitt in Paris, Bill Phillips in Rome, Joe Kennedy in London. After listening to Mr. Kennedy at length on the transatlantic telephone, Secretary of State Hull marched out of his office, across the street to the White House, to give a verbatim account of what Prime Minister Chamberlain had just...
Settling back in his chair at Hyde Park, Franklin Roosevelt, master politician, last week delivered to the press a lecture on political morality. It was "immoral," he said, for some 20,000 Republicans in Idaho to have voted in the Democratic primary to nominate Representative D. Worth Clark over New Dealish Senator James P.

As in Idaho, it would be "immoral" for Republicans...
...talk "Purge," Mr. Roosevelt summoned Democratic National Chairman Jim Farley to Hyde Park-first time they had talked since Mr. Roosevelt's excursion into the primary States and Mr. Farley's trip to make peace in States where primaries were over. For one whole afternoon they rode around the Presidential estate, talking without danger of being overheard. Although Mr. Farley was against the Purge early in the summer and was reported still to view Mr. Roosevelt's recently renewed Purge with alarm, when they came back from the ride it was understood that their differences were reconciled...
...William Green's eyes, the main obstacle to his resuming his position as the topdog of U. S. Labor is the superior favor enjoyed by his enemy with the present President of the U. S. In spite of a long telegram which Mr. Green sent to Hyde Park outlining the A. F. of L.'s objections to the reappointment of Donald Wakefield Smith to the National Labor Relations Board, the President promptly did as he was requested not to do. Mr. Green was able to announce, however, that the President agreed with him in principle that the Wagner...
