...Favor of F. D. R. in general are: 1) Factory Labor (78.7%), Farm Labor (77.6%), "Other Labor" (75.4%) who like him on every point; 2) the Unemployed (69.8%) who dislike only his re-organization bill; 3) Farmers (61.1%) who like everything except his reorganization bill and his methods; 4) Housekeepers (63.7%) who like his nine popular points; 5) White Collar Workers (59.4%) and Proprietors (56.2%) who like seven...
...returned lanky, professorial Prime Minister Eamon de Valera and his government to power for five more years. At last reports "Dev's" Fianna Fail party had captured 70 of the 138 seats, the Fine Gael party of his oldtime opponent, former President William T.

By day's end they had found one, which was quickly ratified by the four big organizations-American Jewish Congress, American Jewish Committee, Jewish Labor Committee and B'nai B'rith. They agreed to form a joint council to co-ordinate the protection of Jews' civil and political rights, to drop the referendum plan. The new council, whose majority decisions will be binding on all four groups, represents the biggest step...

The Prime Minister's brave proposals come to nothing, but by the time his cabinet, his constituents, a fierce young female Marxist (Ardis Gains), and his family have indicated their more or less reluctant disapproval, audiences have been treated to a symposium so full of sparkling, perfectionist common sense that they may well forget that they have seen nothing closer to physical action than a young agitator's feeble threat to break...
