...House seats are up, and from all indications it looks as though the G. O. P.'s present little herd would be just about doubled. This would represent a respectable comeback for a party which has taken three successive and terrible beatings at the polls since 1932. And last week the man whose job it was to change this strong possibility into a reality was quietly attending to his job in Washington...
Throughout the country, elections of local union officers were being completed. Though re-elected without opposition at the union's faction-torn convention last August, President Martin is by no means an unchallenged leader. The current local elections have little to do with local issues; they have become a judgment of the Martin administration. In each local auto workers were usually confronted with two slates: Progressive and Unity. (Both factions accuse each other of being false to their names.) The Progressives are led by Martin and his hand-picked assistant president, Richard Frankensteen. The Unity group is a combination...

...Cargill claims to regard a future contract as a contract to be fulfilled to the letter-which means actual delivery of grain. Most brokers regard a future merely as a hedging or speculative mechanism. Nor is this the only seed of contention between Cargill and the Board of Trade. Though Cargill has been in business since 1865 and has branches from Seattle to Albany, not until 1935 did it pry its way to membership in the Chicago Board of Trade Clearing House. The Board of Trade long kept Cargill out because it was a corporation instead of the more clublike...
