But not until last week did the press smoke out of its files a two-year-old secret about Elliott Roosevelt's scheme to sell airplanes to Russia. Even then, Chairman Nye, one of the Senate's smartest hands at investigation publicity, loudly deplored the disclosure as "an attempt to smear the President" and as "not designed for any honest and constructive purpose." Nevertheless...
