...Edward R. Stettinius Jr.-also chairman of U. S. Steel. Serving with him were no Laborites, no Little Businessmen, no Janizaries. Instead, there were such Big Businessmen as A. T. & T.'s Walter Gifford, General Motors' John Lee Pratt, Sears, Roebuck's General Robert E. Wood, Manhattan Banker John Milton Hancock. Here, to the shaken Janizariat, was sinister evidence that Franklin Roosevelt, in advance of war, had turned elsewhere for counsel. When Louis Johnson announced that Mr. Stettinius as chairman of W.

...Bullet Has Went." The poetical effusions of the late John V. A. Weaver, husband of Actress Peggy Wood, are first-class examples of lowbrowed magazine verse. As such they have the large yet limited historical interest of having been almost entirely written in the no-browed vernacular that H. L. Mencken, dean of U. S. critical horse-doctors, has long plugged as the right speech of real Americans...
