...Matthews Church, the man most mentioned last week as Pierce Butler's successor could jingle all his wealth in his jeans at any time. Frank Murphy, once Mayor of Detroit, High Commissioner to the Philippines, now Attorney General of the U. S., was freely nominated by the Palace Janizariat to Butler's seat before the black drapes were placed there...

By letting the Saturday Evening Post serialize 100,000 of his 190,000 words, Raymond Moley did not make things any better with his outraged successors in the Janizariat. They belittle it as the garrulous grousing of a "shellshocked veteran," note the overtones of its author's bruised ego. But they do not question its essential facts. In the Moley gallery...
