...Harold Ware to allow him to give up his AAA job. For a while Weyl went to the Middle West as an organizer for the Communist United Farmers League, then turned principally to writing and speechmaking.

And the succession has an added importance in Guatemalan eyes these days because, despite official denials, rumors keep cropping up that President Arbenz is in poor health and may soon have to retire or take a leave of absence...
