Including both steward dietitians like Mr. Heaman, feeders of groups (undergraduates, the employes of big corporations, etc.), and the traditionalists of the industry, old-line French, German and Alsatian "kitchen men," Association members buy upwards of $500,000,000 worth of food every year. Since Repeal they have handled nearly that much liquor business. Typical was the Roosevelt-Du Pont wedding last July when caterers offered what was, for them, a skimpy repast of hors d'oeuvres, ice cream and cakes, but made up for it with champagne. Even thicker than sample-passers from food companies at the convention...
...Government. With every Republican except Senator Vandenberg, and even such economizers as Senator Glass voting for the bill, the President's veto, already overidden by the House, was rejected 71 to 19, and the bill became law. ¶ Unanimously passed a bill previously approved by the House to repeal Section 213 of the Economy Act of 1933 which aimed to spread work in Depression by requiring that when it became necessary to discharge Federal employes, those who had a husband or wife on the Federal payroll should be the first fired.

In Committee of the Whole, over the protests of women members of both parties, Democrat John J. Cochran of St. Louis succeeded in amending it so as to tighten instead of repeal the antimarriage clause. But final action was taken by the House itself. To the surprise and jubilation of the repeal forces the Cochran amendment was rejected. Straight repeal was voted, 203-to-129, and the bill was sent to the Senate, where its passage was expected. Broad smiles spread...
Crying that this would place unprecedented discretionary power in the hands of bishops, the High Episcopal organ, The Living Church, asked with heavy sarcasm: "Why not repeal the Canon altogether and set up a new one: 'Communicants of this church shall not ordinarily be permitted to have more than one husband or wife at the same time?' " Divorced New York Episcopalians, it soon appeared, would find it hard to remarry even if the amendment were adopted. Grumped their Bishop William T. Manning, vacationing in Mt.
