...amusing to us Democrats. I can't for the life of me understand how the election of a Republican Congressman in a State which up until six months ago was run by Republicans is a plebiscite on the New Deal. Maybe the GOP's don't know that the area in question represents less than 1% of the area and population of the U.S. They also forget to mention that the people in Rhode Island have never tried to make a living by growing cotton and then selling it for 6¢ per Ib.

...infantile paralysis year. Health officials take special interest in the North Carolina outbreak because there, a statistically useful number of children have been vaccinated against the disease. Manhattan's Dr. Maurice Brodie has sent 600 doses of Park-Brodie vaccine (TIME. Nov. 26 et ante) to the infected area. Of these doses, 400 were concentrated in Greensboro, N. C. (pop.: 53,569). The U. S. Public Health Service, which has sponsored Park-Brodie vaccine, knows of no vaccinated child who has developed infantile paralysis...
