Like many another smart young man who followed the Communist line, sharp-eyed, sharply dressed Attorney Lee Pressman did very well for a long time. Har-vardman Pressman launched his leftward-turning 'career in Henry Wallace's AAA back in 1933, ended up as chief counsel of the C.I.O. He held the post for twelve years. But though he was a skilled labor lawyer, his fellow-traveling finally became too much for Phil Murray; 2½ years ago Murray tearfully threw...
This week, hauled before the congressional committee, he reluctantly consented to name three men who had been fellow Communists in the '30s-John Abt, Nathan Witt and Charles Kramer, three other former New Deal job holders in Wallace's AAA. This, however, was as far as he wanted to go. He apparently hoped it was far enough to get back to a new law practice among loyal Americans, with an honorable scar to bare to the clients...
Crazy Profusion. Congress cranked out farm bills like sausages. In 1938, with the enactment of the new AAA, parity at last came into full bloom.

...career had followed a somewhat familiar path. Born in South Carolina, educated at Columbia University, Keyserling went to Harvard Law School. From there he entered the murky Washington labyrinth by way of Henry Wallace's AAA. He helped frame the Wagner Act. He worked his way onward & upward through the Housing agencies. He mastered the gobbledygook of economic language and the fast footwork needed for intramural debate. He learned to jump out from behind corners, making Keynesian faces at businessmen. In 1946, with a boost from Harry Truman, he landed on the newly constituted...
...Yanks, and with tomorrow the deadline for getting down to a 25-player roster, Manager Casey Stengel obtained waivers on the Big Cat. Today he picks up a minor league career which ceased over 15 years ago. He will play for Kansas City, the Yanks' American Association (Class AAA) farm club. The Yankees, short of first basemen, have kept him on 24-hour recall...
