...stubborn Republican who was resisting President Roosevelt's effort to turn him out of office was revealed last week in squat, bearded Federal Trade Commissioner William E. Humphrey. Appointed as a stand-patter by President Coolidge in 1925, Commissioner Humphrey was reappointed by President Hoover in 1931. President Roosevelt wrote him two months ago that his resignation would be acceptable in the make-over of the Government for the New Deal. Commissioner Humphrey replied that he had no idea of getting out, that no criticism had ever been made of his work, that the President had no right...
...critic of NRA happens to be blind Republican Senator Thomas David Schall of Minnesota. A mass of political contradictions, Mr. Schall once voted for Democrat Champ Clark for Speaker in the House, yet he almost wept on Pennsylvania's William Scott Vare when the Senate booted out that squat Republican, Now hardly a day passes without a barrage of dead cats for General Johnson from the Schall office on Capitol Hill.

Twenty years she has squatted there; eyes accustomed to the landscape are beginning...
...legal bumps in a plan to merge their Far Eastern properties into a single jointly-owned subsidiary. Although in volume Europe is the best U. S. oil customer, rivalry in the East is much more intense, always more colorful. As everyone knows, one-half the world's people squat on that portion of the globe that lies between Karachi and Harbin. And all oilmen know that one more gallon of kerosene each year for each & every Hindu, Siamese, Chinese and Japanese would lift sales to figures fantastic. Thus there is always desultory scrimmaging between the big oil companies...
