Huey Long is the Senate's No. 1 Colorful Figure. School children of the future will know enough political theory to titter at the Kingfish's comic relief after wading through dreary pages on the National Recovery Act. But for the present, the prospect of a large overproduction of general and special Hueyana brings up graver problems of government control than does a wheat surplus. One wonders who pays for the rain of Huey pamphlets which is meant to soak the rich...
...Socialist, I regret in advance lay readers' probable titter at your implied censure (TIME, April 24) of Socialist Norman Thomas for locking Long Island henpen which supplies eggs for Mrs. Thomas' New York restaurant. I understand Socialist principles to include not only ''equitable distribution of wealth" as you point out, but also equitable distribution of commodities.

Noteworthy are frequent transparency shots which require a previously photographed background to be fitted to the foreground by the use mainly...
...Ominous calm marked the first day's session at the Stadium. Beneath the Republicans' bunting, flags and Washington pictures, the gallery audience was only slightly larger than that which attended the G. 0. P. meeting. National Chairman Raskob, often accused by Republicans of trying to "smear Hoover," got a titter when he said he had looked up "smear" in the dictionary and found it meant "to anoint a dead body with sacred oil before burial." Commander Evangeline Booth of the Salvation Army prayed. Mayor Cermak rumbled a speech of welcome which soon descended to a partisan harangue. Then Senator Barkley...
