Whether the New Deal and its farmer friends would long be satisfied with such roundabout methods remained a prime question. Red-hot for revival of the AAAct, Supreme Court or no Supreme Court, is the New Deal's most potent rural friend, the American Farm Bureau Federation. To its convention in Pasadena last week, Secretary Wallace declared: "Good as [the AAAct] was, we want to see it improved upon. A better program can and will be built...
...only salvation, the 300 delegates thereupon voted to replace Dr. Holt with another lover of unity, Dr. Edgar DeWitt Jones, 60, of Detroit. This affable churchman, who will run the Federal Council for the next two years, is a Disciple of Christ. Born in Texas, he filled pastorates in rural Kentucky, Cleveland and Bloomington, Ill. before going to Detroit's Central Christian Church in 1920.

Stalin, "Louder! Speak...
...North to the Adirondacks, "Land of Frozen Flame." Hit and miss Mr. Carmer picks up local anecdotes, Indian superstitions, regional customs, scenic wonders, as he goes. It is a peculiar system of newsgathering he uses, here depending on what he sees and knows, here taking in the stories of rural raconteurs, rarely bothering with actual substantiation of what he says--now poeticizing the life of degenerate redskins at the Tonawanda Reservation, of two-fisted lumbermen in the northern mountains, of New York State Police; now ridiculing Chautauqua, poking fun at civic spirit in Rochester. He writes vividly, sometimes beautifully, always...
