Besides Jimmy Byrnes, Alva Adams-and Jack Garner-the man responsible for aligning votes to beat Leader Barkley and the Administration in this first big Senate showdown of the year, was Pat Harrison. The result showed how much wiser Franklin Roosevelt might have been had he let that shrewd old reliable from Mississippi win the Majority Leadership after Joe Robinson died, instead of intervening for "Dear Alben." Leader Barkley, however, was up against not only Garner, Adams, Byrnes, Harrison & Co., he was also up against a Trend. Of 35 Senators elected or re-elected last November, 21 voted for Economy...
Within two days, four Cabinet ministers went into the countryside to remind Britons, and, by implication, the dictator nations, that the British Empire was still tough. "The British Empire is so strong that it could not be defeated. Let those ponder who say we have grown weary with age and feeble in power. So they thought in 1914.

They were doing in their own way what psychiatrists do in psychoanalysis. Sometimes they happily babbled babytalk. Sometimes they wrote infantile verse. But most of the time they painted surrealist child-paintings...
Employe Judson. To the few independent managers who can subsist on the crumbs that Columbia and NBC let fall, the wholesale chains are objects of mingled horror and envy. Columbia's president draws his share of that feeling. But Judson loses no sleep over what his less successful rivals think of him. Looking like a Daily Worker caricature of a capitalist, he sits behind an enormous French walnut desk in Manhattan's Steinway Building, continuously smoking big Havana cigars. Says he: "Managers are employes of artists. An artist is perfectly free to hire any manager he wants...
