...rare because the other conferee was Chief William Herman Moran of the Secret Service who practically never gives interviews. For 54 of his 72 years, Chief Moran had helped guard U. S. Presidents' lives and the nation's securities and currency. Head of the department since 1918, he successfully shouldered the grave responsibility for the safety of Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt. Due to retire at 70, Chief Moran's tenure had twice been prolonged by President Roosevelt's decree. It could be prolonged no further...

To a Wisconsin Progressive, Republicans and Democrats are alike "reactionaries." In 1933 Mr. & Mrs. Frank called on Mr. & Mrs. La Follette, who then lived right across the street. Their courtesy was not returned. Last year at a Lincoln Day Republican rally in Chicago, ambitious President Frank, who has been sporadically mentioned as Presidential timber, made his first big blunder...
