...blast at the proposed Newsprint Code which, they insisted, "is a monopoly, make no mistake about it"; shot at the Post Office Department for its contention that newspapers are largely responsible for the heavy deficit on second-class mail; proposed coinage of a 3?-piece to make it simpler to sell 3? newspapers; re-elected Howard Davis, plump business manager of the New York Herald Tribune, as president; went home...
...Central Committee has fulfilled its purpose well in securing a cross section of students for the Houses. Now that the lop-sided condition of 1932-33 has been virtually cleared up, the present procedure of the Central Committee is proving complicated and expensive; the time has come for a simpler and less fastidious system.

Your cousin from out West would call it "pretty raw," but it really is just a fine, clean portrayal of young passion, more freely translated than usual...
Cattlemen had asked Congress to appropriate $200,000,000 to subsidize beef raisers and dairymen who agreed to curtail production. This made Speaker Rainey snort: "It might prove more effective and far simpler than appropriating these sums for the Government to take over the packing industry and operate it by the Government's paying fixed prices ... if the packers continue to exercise their monopolistic powers to drive down prices. . . . They are interfering with the entire program and stand in open defiance of the entire recovery...
