Head Janizaries. The early Brain Trust - Professors Moley, Tugwell, Warren, Berle, et al. - were economists. Among the Janizaries named above, not one is an economist. They are executives (Hopkins, Ickes), high-grade political go-betweens (Keenan, Niles, Son James) and smart lawyers (Jackson, Corcoran & Cohen). Among the President's original close advisers last winter were left only two economists, Adolf A. Berle Jr. (who resigned last fortnight†) and Leon Henderson, now attached to the Monopoly Investigation, member of the commission whose report last week on consumer incomes (see p. 59) is red-hot campaign ammunition. Only other original...
...financial job of Wall Street- president of the New York Stock Exchange. To the general public, which had heard rumors that the Exchange was considering for its first paid president such assorted personages as North Carolina's onetime Governor O. Max Gardner ex-Brain Truster Raymond Moley, and University of Chicago President Robert Hutchins, this was something of a surprise.

...standing, had set his heart on becoming Under Secretary. "Judge" Moore (whose title was conferred upon him conversationally by his colleagues during the twelve years he served Virginia in the House of Representatives) has been with the State Department only since Cordell Hull picked him to succeed Raymond Moley; but in spite of his 78 years, he has loved his job and been a glutton for work. Senators have been heard to remark that "Judge Moore is the only man in the State Department with any guts." Sumner Welles's nomination for Under Secretary might not have been confirmed...
...letter refuting the argument that the Court is overburdened (TIME, March 29)-a point on which the President's warmest supporters heartily wish that he had rejected his Attorney General's advice. Come to flay his old chief's plan, onetime No. 1 Brain Truster Raymond Moley next day cried, "The institutions of democracy grow and strengthen only through their use. Let us make democracy work by working through the instruments of democracy. ... I would rather amend and amend and amend than pack and pack and pack." There were already plenty of people who would rather amend...
