Ever since the Purge failed and showed Democratic Senators that it is safe to have minds of their own, a paramount question has been: will non-New Deal Democrats attempt to unhorse Kentucky's plodding, obedient "Dear Alben" Barkley as Majority Leader? To do so would in effect amount to purging the Senate of Roosevelt leadership. Last week, in an otherwise unimportant newspaper spat between Montana's utterly independent Democrat Burton K. Wheeler and New Jersey's obedient Democrat William Smathers, came an answer. Declaring that there would be no attempted Barkley ouster, Mr. Wheeler said...
...gunnery is soundly organized, having within each combat component (of four guns per battery) an effective detection and warning system, based largely on the fact that big planes can nearly always be heard, and in fair weather can be seen, in time to aim the guns. The one large question mark remaining is accuracy, with which the Army was not primarily concerned last week. Pursuit plane defense is not so soundly organized.

...should look hopeless for Captain Green and his men, but it just doesn't. In the first place, there is no question that the Crimson team has pointed for this clash ever since the opening bell on September 9. Their offense has improved steadily from Brown through Cornell and Army, and their defense has fallen down only on the "break" variety of touchdowns...
