...Died. Jerome New Frank, 67, agile-minded onetime New Deal brain-truster, general counsel to the Agricultural Adjustment Administration from 1933 to 1935, chairman of the Securities & Exchange Commission from 1939 to 1941, and judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (New York, Connecticut and Vermont) since 1941; of a heart attack; in New Haven...
...ready to prove that the plan was unworkable. The university's ruling Hebdomadal Council met in deepest secrecy and significantly failed to endorse the new scheme.

At 32, Nelson went to President F. D. Roosevelt to persuade him of the need for economic and cultural development of Latin America in order to deter south...
This idea, put forward in the '30s by the New Deal's Brain-Truster David Cushman Coyle, has won support from conservative authorities such as the businessmen's Committee for Economic Development. Recently, Economist Beardsley Ruml, a Fair Dealer, added a new twist. The administrative budget, he argues, is made meaningless by one glaring fault: it overstates the Government's actual operating expenses by including each year an estimated $6 billion worth of items that are actually capital investments of lasting value which should be charged off over a period of years instead of being paid...
