...alarmed view taken last week by most Business spokesmen toward Harry Hopkins as Secretary of Commerce was that, as a chronic social worker and economic planner, he might devise ways-in cahoots with his trust-busting fellow Janizary, Robert Houghwout Jackson, who seems likely to succeed Attorney-General Homer Cummings in January-of fastening new Federal controls upon Business. An entirely different view was expressed by Journalist David Lawrence, one of Business' most alert and alarmable servants. He wrote...
Last week the U. S. got a new No. 1 weatherman-chief of the U. S. Weather Bureau. Appointed to succeed Willis Ray Gregg, who died last September, was Commander Francis Wilton Reichelderfer, U. S. N., an able, earnest meteorologist whose experiences include flying in Navy airplanes, dirigibles and racing balloons, taking part in the search for Amelia Earhart, furnishing weather information (from Lisbon) for the historic transatlantic flight of the NC-4. Quiet, matter-of-fact, Commander Reichelderfer likes dancing, music, an occasional cocktail, spends much time reading up on new developments in weather science...

In upping his friend and doctor last week, Franklin Roosevelt promoted an able, modest eye-ear-nose-&-throat man. Far from loafing...
...Roosevelt's most savage critic, the Chicago Tribune, dominating the New Deal's Chicago machine. Mayor Kelly, despite several visits from stodgy "draft-Kelly" committees, could doubtless be shelved by a nice Federal appointment. So, perhaps, could ambitious Tom Courtney, who might even be set up to succeed Governor Horner. Having him for Mayor of Chicago would be no fun for the New Deal either since he is the personal candidate of Colonel Frank Knox's Daily News. Some surprising deal was seen in the making when Tom Courtney visited Harold Ickes in Washington over the weekend...
