...keener interest to Washington was a one-man social performance put on between the Roosevelts' parties by Captain Anthony Eden of England. Continuing his "looking and learning" visit to the U. S. (TIME, Dec. 19), he went to Washington as an ordinary member of Parliament, but popular excitement could not have been greater had he still been Foreign Secretary. The press mobbed him at Union Station. Women workers at the State Department and White House left their desks and cubbyholes to gather in adulating clusters around...
...Roosevelt), later on the Tariff Commission and as Internal Revenue Commissioner. From 1921 until after the election of Franklin Roosevelt in 1932 he was a workaday Washington lawyer.

Instead, he announced that in the week ended December 10, WPA's total of dependents fell 45,514 to 3,139,045, having declined for five successive weeks from a peak...
Undoubtedly the worst feature of the present infirmary, however, is the startling fact that it does not contain observation wards. If no private rooms are available, students with undiagnosed ailments are put into a ward until their illness is diagnosed, and thus it is possible, though there are no traceable cases to date, to contract a complicating disease while trying to cure the original illness. On some occasions it is conceivable that a variety of contagious diseases might be found in one "observation" ward. On the basis of these and other facts, it seems that stillman needs such a thorough...
