...callers that Cordell Hull was his choice for White House succession-repeatedly the callers have let this information leak (TIME, Dec. 18, et seq.). And each leak has given three groups of U. S. politicos a sharp case of the cramps: 1) militant New Dealers who are out of step with the President's new appeasement program, and who consider Mr. Hull a single-track fuddy-duddy; 2) those Democrats pledged irrevocably to the candidacy of John Nance Garner; 3) Republican wiseacres who think Mr. Hull would be hard to beat, and who would much prefer a split Democratic...
