Troublesome already is General Joaquin Amaro, who made himself unpopular with the Army by putting it to work and now talks like a fascist. Nazi agents, who immigrated as refugees, help to spread his ideas. Though General Amaro's followers are few, his nuisance value is great. Among rumors floating around Mexico last week was one that backers of Cardenas would persuade him to "oppress" General Amaro, thereby driving him to insurrection. If a "state of unrest" exists at election time, the election can be postponed...

Four NLRB regional directors studied the evidence for 60 days, in October severely indicted the Board's administrative methods, policies, machinery, recommended specific changes, many of them aimed at unpopular Secretary Witt.

Consoling him is his strong belief that friends and foes have an ultimate community of interest. If his theory proves correct, future U. S. investors may well thank him for being a pioneer...
Elmer Lincoln Irey, Robert's dad, has been called the No. 1 civil servant of the U. S. Broad-shouldered and blond, he looks and talks like a Missouri-born Sunday-school superintendent-which he is. People who don't like him-he is particularly unpopular with malefactors of wealth -say Elmer has a heart of ice. The simplest way for the Federal Government to catch a crook is to look into his income-tax returns. Elmer Irey has done just that, long and efficiently. The story goes that big gamblers nowadays are careful to station a bookkeeper...
