...home team though they are, leave the game after the eighth inning to avoid the crush after the ninth. Last week that kind of discretion may have motivated the resignation of one of Franklin Roosevelt's most faithful and useful sub-Cabinet henchmen: chunky, chipmunk-cheeked Joseph Berry ("Joe") Keenan, 51, who was called from his profitable Cleveland law practice to assist Attorney-General Homer Cummings with criminal prosecutions at the peak of the Kidnap Era (1933) and who stayed on to become chief White House overseer of the Senate, especially in Federal judgeship appointments. Should the New Deal...
Stories that Joe Keenan resigned because Boss Roosevelt would not make him, too, a Federal judge, were false as a gangster's oath. Fact was, Joe Keenan was offered a $12,500 judgeship and he declined it simply because that is not enough on which to send four children through college. Back in private practice, Lawyer Keenan can easily make several times $12,500 a year. His standing with the Janizariat is ace high. Yet because his unswerving efforts in the Supreme Court fight and the Purge were known to be based more on loyalty than conviction, he stands...
Reference was to a sudden caucus of House Democrats early last week, designed to sink differences and combat with united front the lethally effective tactics of Minority Leader Joe Martin in blocking or steering legislation.

Last week's proposed Democratic strategy was equally simple: to arouse Democrats, who have a 92-vote majority...
...Hampshire's Senator Bridges persuaded the Senate Military Affairs Committee to call Ambassador to Germany Hugh R. Wilson. If, as reported, Hugh Wilson does not see Europe as Franklin Roosevelt was shown it by Bill Bullitt & Joe Kennedy, the committee was not so informed. In net effect, Mr. Wilson gravely underlined the Bullitt-Kennedy reports (TIME, Jan. 23). Whereas those gentlemen talked at length, Mr. Wilson talked hardly at all. The situation, he said, was too grave for discussion...
Captain Harvey Ross enters his match a decided favorite. Ross wrestled to a draw against his Navy opponent who in turn pinned Penn's Joe Sataloff. Still Ross is not likely to pin his opponent. "Chief" Boston is another man entering his match heavily favored over his opponent, and he stands a good chance of felling Bob Wolf. Boston's brand of hard, aggressive wrestling has left him undefeated so far this season...
