...before the Senate last week: the House bill to "give $150,000,000 more to the Federal Farm Board, thus tacitly approving its wheat-market operations. Such operations had been approved and called a success by a meeting of farm-organization heads and agricultural legislators before Congress convened. Despite broad objections by Senator Borah, who wants the export debenture form of farm aid, and specific objections by Senators Black and Tydings, who tried to stop the Board's trading in commodity futures and on margin, the bill was rammed through before the holiday adjournment, went to the President...

In accordance with tradition Miss Walker, in a night gown, together with her betrothed, is placed upon a haystack to endure with the audience ten minutes of as vulgar wise-cracking as Boston has ever...

Down the broad stone stairway leading from the Capitol gates into the street the advance-guard of a crowd of 500 Communist demonstrators was rushing pellmell.
