...James H. R. ("Jimmy") Cromwell, rich Doris Duke's husband, arrived in company with Governor Marriner S. Eccles of the Federal Reserve to show the President a movie on economics embodying a theory of Mr. Cromwell's to which Mr. Eccles takes strong exception. Lameduck Congressman John J. McGrath of California; Deputy Administrator Aubrey Williams of WPA, who had just put his foot in his mouth again (see p. 14); Dr. Will Alexander, the Farm Security Administrator-these were Presidential callers from afar, before Ambassador Hugh Wilson arrived from Berlin...
...After a brief talk with Secretary of State Hull in Manhattan, Mr. Wilson passed through Washington, where it was announced by the State Department that he would stay in the U. S. a while to "advise" the Department on Central European doings. To join their conversations at Warm Springs, President Roosevelt summoned William ("Bill") Phillips, his Ambassador to the other Jew-purging dictatorship, Italy, who returned to the U. S. early last month on leave...
...After two long huddles with Mr. Roosevelt, with a sleep between at the home of the President's crippled neighbor, Will Moore of New York, the two diplomats headed back for Washington.

...should be more likely this time, thanks mainly to a reduced and more experienced chorus. The sopranos do remarkably well with their high B's, and the chorus as a whole lacks that unwieldiness which nearly brought disaster last year. On the debit side thus far must be listed Mr. Burgin's violin solo in the "Benedictus" and the performance of the women soloists. Miss Vreeland, the soprano, has the unfortunate habit of stealing upon notes, while the contralto, Miss Kaskas is too sugary. It is to be hoped that at the actual concerts these flaws will disappear...
