...canny little Speaker Sam Rayburn had done a shrewd job. The bill passed with only face-saving amendments, put in to salve Congressmen frightened by dictatorship-bogies. Rayburn had evaluated the high talk of compromise with absolute accuracy. He knew that the Republicans who talked loudest about unity, about unanimous agreement if concessions were made, were pledged to vote against the bill no matter what its final form...
Ernest ("The Man With the Loudest Voice in the House of Commons") Brown, an uninspired Liberal wheel horse, was made Minister of Health last week, succeeding National Laborite Malcolm Mac-Donald, bespectacled son of the late Prime Minister "Ramsay Mac." This shift was tantamount to congratulating Son Mac-Donald for bettering air-raid shelter conditions, his biggest job as Minister of Health.

Their lineup, reading from left to right: American Student Union, organized in 1935 by Communists, Socialists and maverick liberals, by last week had lost most of its fellow travelers, was left mostly Communist. The remnant's loudest cry: no aid to Britain. Because Eleanor Roosevelt had advocated compulsory youth work camps, delegates last week divorced her (by mutual consent). They also demanded that the U. S. ally itself with China and the Soviet Union, wired President Roosevelt: YOU CAN'T PULL A WILSON...
