...President has many times announced a slight turn to the right (breathing spell, etc.), has always turned again to the left. Now, say the Washington wiseacres, he means really to do a right turn-proves it daily with deeds instead of words. Their evidence: Constantly Mr. Roosevelt appeases the Democratic conservatives, consistently he calls to heel the business-baiting Janizariat. To keep party harmony, he plans no reform legislation at Session III of the 76th Congress, will actively support none.

Said Philip Henry Kerr (pronounced Carr), Marquess of Lothian, British Ambassador to the United States, to Archibald MacLeish, Librarian of Congress...
Since that time Dr. Carroll has used the drug with remarkable success on four other staphylococcic patients, including a baby. "No toxic symptoms or signs ascribable to this drug were seen," reported Dr. Carroll, "except for a slight nausea." About the future of the drug, which is not yet on the market, he hazarded no comment. Last week sulfamethylthiazol was tried on two Staphylococcus victims in a Midwest hospital, and on one in Manhattan, with hopeful results. But still restrained is the cautious enthusiasm of physicians, who cannot commit themselves on the drug until it has been tried on many...
