Jackson as a special consultant in the Department...

Steel historically signed a labor contract with C. I. O. As President Roosevelt was being elected for a second term and preparing to unlimber his Supreme Court reorganization plan, an equally vivid exposition of Our Constitution and the Court was appropriately made available. Both pamphlets were issues of Building America, "a photographic magazine of modern problems," pioneer publication in a trend toward placing the fresh stuff of life...

Ambassador to Turkey before the War, a post-War job as the Nation's foreign correspondent, a term as director of the Provincetown Theatre, Director Alsberg started his big job by picking State directors throughout the U.
