President Hoover had no sooner appointed Frank R. McNinch, onetime mayor of Charlotte, to the reorganized Federal Power Commission as a Democrat,?than Democrats began to protest that Mr. McNinch was no good party man (TIME, Dec. 15). Appointee McNinch in 1928 had proclaimed that Alfred Emanuel Smith "procured his nomination at Houston by stealth and fraud." He had headed the State's Anti-Smith Democratic Committee, raised and spent $30,906 to turn North Carolina Republican. Last week Mr. McNinch was summoned before the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee to explain his politics, his qualifications...
Dunster House is less jingoistic in its offence. The chief objection is that some members of tire house already presuppose that membership there entities them to a superior attitude.

Over Presidential protest the Senate Committee on Agriculture unanimously approved a bill to loan farmers the full $60,000,000 not only for feed and seed but also for food. Nor could President Hoover count on support from Senate Democrats on this issue because their leader, Arkansas Senator Robinson, dropping harmony, loudly announced for the larger...
...Harding, only President of the U. S. to visit Canada while in office, whose reception at Vancouver shortly preceded his death in San Francisco. But Vancouver Kiwanians squirmed with discomfort last week. Other thoughtful citizens deplored. U. S. visitors were in a ferment of indignation. For, despite many a protest, Vancouver's loud evening Sun ("Vancouver's most useful institution") was publishing serially The Strange Death of President Harding by onetime Federal Sleuth Gaston B. Means (TIME, March 31). The U. S. Consul General was besieged with outraged demands for formal action. One Californian wired to Senator Hiram...
