...Administration leaders found it advisable to accept the opposition amendment reposing ultimate authority for Presidential shifts in a Congressional majority. On this basis the bill seemed sure of passage, and riding back to Washington, tanned and rested after his busy week, Franklin Roosevelt felt reasonably convinced that in his noisiest fight since the plan to enlarge the Supreme Court a year ago, he had won at least a partial victory...
Most extraordinary feature of the battle over Reorganization-next to last year's battle over the plan to enlarge the Supreme Court, noisiest of the Roosevelt Administration-was its timing. When the President launched his Reorganization Plan 15 months ago, it was far more drastic than the bill the Senate voted for last week. Nationwide reaction was total apathy. When the Reorganization Plan emerged on the Senate floor a month ago, instantaneous reaction of Congress and a large section of the U.

...school on the lot. Headliner among them is an itsy-bitchy angel face (Betty Philson) who starts the ball rolling by having her teacher fired.

Last week President Martin found himself in a spot from which he could not leap, much as he would have liked to, without immediate risk of mortal injury-Room No. 408 in Detroit's Hotel Eddystone...
...Music Merchants' Convention has been held every year for 36 years, but last week's, which drew 3,000 delegates to the Hotel New Yorker in Manhattan, was the biggest. It was also the noisiest, for convening were not only retail groups which included the National Association of Music Merchants and the National Retail Musical Instrument Dealers' Association, but also the National Association of Musical Merchandise Wholesalers and a sizable collection of manufacturers, who brought along the biggest agglomeration of musical wares ever assembled. For four days, deals, discussions, and congratulations were drowned by the cacophonous obbligato...
