...page, $5,000,000,000 1938 Tax Bill, Mr. Garner glanced down at Committee Chairman Pat Harrison, whacked his gavel on the desk, grunted: "Without objection, amendments agreed to. . . ." Five hours after the bill came up for debate Mr. Garner turned the chair over to Indiana's Minton, with a cheery comment: "We've passed 224 pages in 20 minutes-not bad." Two days later the bill that Congressional tax experts have been working on since last autumn catapulted through the Senate without a record vote...
...form of charges that a good part of the pressure against the bill had been generated by a high-powered lobby financed by Publisher Frank Gannett. Convening his Lobby Investigation Committee for the first time since he succeeded Hugo Black as its chairman, Indiana's Sherman Minton quickly produced a Dr. Edward A. Rumely who as secretary of something called the National Committee to Uphold Constitutional Government admitted that he had spent $50,000 and sent out 800,000 letters to defeat Reorganization, in which Publisher Gannett sees a threat to Democracy.

...buffet was piled $1,800 worth of cake, pastry and hors d'oeuvres, including the Washington Monument in sugar and a reproduction of Mt. Vernon. On another were the makings of 10,000 cocktails.

Two things Boss McNutt expects his lieutenants, Governor M. Clifford Townsend and Senator Sherman Minton, to have well in hand when he arrives are: 1) the boom for Paul V. McNutt for President of the U. S. in 1940, and 2) the defeat of Senator Frederick Van Nuys for party nominee at the-State convention in June...
...resignation of Son Tom Taggart Jr. as national committeeman, elected as his successor Indianapolis Lawyer Frank McHale, deep-voiced, burly onetime University of Michigan footballer, original McNutt-for-President man. Also proceeding on schedule was the campaign against Senator Van Nuys, long on the outs with the McNutt-Townsend-Minton "two percent club," the machine organization to which State employes kick back that share of their salary. Having forfeited the last hope of Administration support by fighting the President's court plan, honest Senator Van Nuys last week seemed doomed. He had not even begun his campaign...
