...veto of the tax-cut bill (TIME, June 23), which House Republicans were determined to override. They got a shock. Democratic Leader Sam Rayburn had done a fast job of rounding up diffident Democrats. He had also corralled two rebel Republicans-Wisconsin's stolid ex-Progressive, Merlin Hull, and Minnesota's sharp-faced Carl Anderson. When the vote was counted, and breathlessly recounted, Hull and Anderson represented the margin of Administration victory. If they had stayed with their party, the Republicans would have squeaked through with the two-thirds vote necessary to override...

Presumably, besides discussing common defense problems, they also made plans for the President's visit to Ottawa-some time in June, the P.M. said later, and "the President plans to bring Mrs. Truman with him, and possibly their daughter Margaret...
...joint across the street from Austin High. When they weren't practicing themselves, they were listening to the big-timers-to King Oliver, the great New Orleans Negro trumpeter, or Beiderbecke and the Wolverines. Other Chicago kids began sitting in with the Austin High gang-one was a Hull House kid named Benny Goodman. When Bix left the Wolverines in Manhattan in 1924, they called for Jimmy, whom Bix once called "the greatest white trumpet man in the world." Later, Jimmy joined Ben Pollack's famed dance band. He and Benny Goodman quit when Pollack bawled them...
