Last week a smart Chicago lawyer filed suit in Federal Court at Corpus Christi against the six trustees of the property on behalf of a group of King heirs. That the suit was filed in Federal court was accepted as evidence of the overpowering local influence of the Klebergs as rulers of the King Ranch. The lawyer is Thomas Hart Fisher, whose father was President Taft's Secretary of the Interior, himself a member of Chicago's eminent firm of Fisher, Boyden, Bell, Boyd & Marshall.

...battle is on. Smart politician that he is, Roosevelt could not keep the inflation issue from coming to the front. Since his inauguration it has hung ominously in the background. The inflationists have never been very quiet, and within recent weeks their meagre squeal has grown into a major howl. But only in the last week have any considerable "sound money" jitters become noticeable. First Barney Baruch, adviser extraordinary to the New Deal, pronounces his opposition, and then comes the electric shock of Professor Sprague's desertion and condemnation of the Administration. Now the Federal Reserve Advisory Council intones...
