Franklin Roosevelt was still anxious to save face by keeping the nature of the settlement dark, and avoiding a roll call. Neither was possible that afternoon when the issue was settled on the floor of the Senate. Senator Logan who had sponsored the defeated bill was allowed to move to recommit it. Only 20 last-ditch fighters voted against him. Seventy other Senators jumped into the breach provided for them by John Nance Garner, to settle in an hour a profitless wrangle that had played havoc with public affairs for nearly six months...
...Attorney General Joe Keenan, Undersecretary of the Interior Charles West. It would not be just to say that any of them did not have sorrow in his heart, but all had politics, biggest politics.

The Bank revalued its gold stocks up by $299,400,000. U. S. tourists were able to get three centimes less for every dollar they exchanged...
Children suffering from spinal meningitis occasionally develop a temperature of 111º F. But not even children, whose normal temperatures are higher than temperatures of normal adults, can live very long with 111º F. fever, or even with 109.8° F. To save the life of a heat victim quick measures are essential. Dan Long got them-ice packs to remove the body heat which his deranged system could not radiate; oxygen for his thickened blood; cold salty water to replace the sweat he had lost. In a few hours record-breaking Dan Long's temperature read...
