...Washington with one more high-powered lobbyist. For the rest, that success looked singularly hollow: the important House Rules Committee was in such a mess that the New Deal gave up hope of organizing it before Congress met this week. Illinois' old Representative Adolph Joachim Sabath to whom chairmanship of the committee was scheduled to pass, by seniority, because of recalcitrant Mr. O'Connor's defeat, faced an unhappy situation. Of three New Deal members of the committee, two went down to defeat like Mr. O'Connor, leaving Mr. Sabath alone. But five anti-New Deal...

He spent $10,000 on a "Hostess Shop," hired younger salespeople, revised the bookkeeping...
...battle over the city manager form of government strikes a progressive note in the scale of local politics, the like of which has seldom been heard since the day of Lincoln Steffens and the muckrakers. On Friday the petition of the Plan E Committee, which under the chairmanship of Dean Landis has obtained over 11,000 signatures, was blocked by the Council on trivial technical ground. Mr. McNamara, president of the body, declared that Cambridge "was not going to be turned into a laboratory of guinea pigs for a lot of theorists" and sat down on his political haunches. Even...
