Bald, bashful, nervous Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau had mapped his campaign like a general getting ready for a spring offensive. He had stored up quantities of materiel for verbal war.

O'Mahoney roared that Congress was being "smeared" as a "conglomeration of grab-seeking individuals.'' Shouted Byrd: "I have never smeared the members of Congress. . . .

His sickness may have been partly political, for he threatened to resign. Behind his threat was seen a warning that he would like the non existent post of Minister of Production, a powerful combination...
