Abbott, Maurice James McCarthy, Annie Riley Hale, Robert Pierce Shuler, Justus S. Wardell, William Gibbs McAdoo.

...first time, conversed animatedly for two hours. Much of their talk concerned the Democratic Convention scene, which they both witnessed, in which William Gibbs McAdoo swung the California and Texas delegations from Garner to Roosevelt. Reported the New York Times: ''Some of those present said that, despite their traditional political differences, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Longworth found themselves in complete harmony in their views of Mr. McAdoo. . . .

Last June the Body & Soul Clinic, declaring that it had thus far treated more than 400,000 ailing New Yorkers, held a tenth anniversary celebration in Town Hall. Greetings were received from friends and directors, including Father-in-law McAdoo, Lawyers Samuel Untermyer and George Gordon Battle, Episcopal Church Historian E. Clowes Chorley, Editor Guy Emery Shipler of The Churchman. Former patients appeared to tell of their cures, which each called "a modern miracle." The Town Hall meeting was startled when Lawyer Dudley Field Malone arose and shouted that Bishop Manning was "plotting" to remove the Body & Soul Clinic from...
