...Corcoran & Ben Cohen are not, as many a columnist has reported, on the way out. Their continued survival simply proves an old Roosevelt axiom: that the President's advisers are specialists, whom he calls on when he has a problem they can deal with. Ben Cohen is the New Deal's legal draftsman, not so busy as he used to be now that the emphasis is off new reforms, but still on call. Tommy Corcoran is the decisive, ruthless doer. Example: he recently arranged the shift of alien control from coddly Fanny Perkins' Labor Department...
...official underling. His responsibilities (for purchasing Army equipment, planning to mobilize the U. S. man-&-money-power for war) outweigh those of most full-fledged Cabinet members. That Assistant Secretary Johnson, despite his sundry deficiencies, had done a standout job, one of his harshest critics (Columnist Hugh Johnson) admitted last week.

...last nine months, sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued Columnist Westbrook Pegler, onetime Guildsman, onetime friend & neighbor of the Guild's first president, Heywood Broun, has pounded away relentlessly at the Guild with charges of Communist domination (TIME, Jan. 22). Six insurgent members of the executive board last spring banded together, issued a pamphlet attacking the Guild's management (on grounds of centralized power and incompetence) in words almost as strong as Pegler's. They went to Memphis last week bent on throwing the rascals...
