...admit-in fact I protest-the "rumpled pants"! I've seen him nearly every day for the past three weeks . . . and not once with "rumpled pants." However, I am told he might have had "rumpled pants" one day, for during a downpour he took off his topcoat to put it around a young woman who had none. Perhaps that was the day.

...this plan is put into effect, it will nullify the protection of the "carry" legislation. The ships would be transferred to a country completely under U. S. domination, and utterly unable to defend them in war zones, while the vessels would still be owned by U. S. corporations. Change of registry would be not only a capitulation to war profiteers, but an unneutral act with grave possibilities of U.S. involvement...
