...would-be Speakers were potential candidates for this No. 2 House job, and in addition several others. The Southern Democrats, being perpetually in office, possess by seniority most of the best committee posts: Buchanan of Texas heads Appropriations; Steagall of Alabama, Banking & Currency; Rayburn of Texas, Interstate & Foreign Commerce; Vinson of Georgia, Naval Affairs; McSwain of South Carolina, Military Affairs; Mansfield of Texas. Rivers & Harbors; Rankin of Mississippi, Veterans; Bankhead of Alabama, Rules.

It was: "Be on your watch. The Swedes are a jealous nation and do not like to see foreign sportsmen triumph. Maribel Vinson [champion U. S. woman figure-skater from 1928 to 1934] was unfairly marked down by the judges, for a Swedish competitor to get a better placing." Actually, as Idrottsbladet scathingly pointed out, international judges rated sleek-legged Miss Vinson fifth for the world championship largely because she skidded and fell. They...
...stopping when the picture ends with her release from jail, at 42. The man she loves, John Shadwell (John Boles) marries someone else, under the mistaken impression that Vergie has jilted him. Vergie gives birth to an illegitimate daughter named Joan. John and his rancid wife Laura (Helen Vinson) adopt Joan.
