Treading in such hallowed footsteps came the Democrats last week. Most frequent caller was Chicago's Mayor Edward J. Kelly, smirking in gentle good will, nodding approval .as his gorilla-shaped bodyguards tipped photographers off-balance as fast as they could get set for a picture.

Walker, oldtime White House adviser, white-haired Leo Crowley, FDIC Chairman who became chairman of Standard Gas & Electric (and is the New Dealers' 1942 hopeful for the Wisconsin Governorship); Jersey City's high-collared Mayor Frank Hague; and a long procession...

Month ago, an epidemic of sword swallowing started through the instinctively Republican ranks of businessmen. A frequent remark, especially in suburban and junior-executive circles: "I hate Roosevelt's guts, but I'll vote for him sooner than for Taft or Dewey."

And President Roosevelt, by his aggressive rearmament policy, had begun to deflect the U. S. businessman's hatred of the New Deal toward Berlin.
