While the charges which Dr. Wirt has levelled against the Brain Trust seem at first sight to be an effective bid for publicity, it is becoming apparent that beneath the external hullabaloo there is at least some basis for such an indictment. Felix Frankfurter's "hot dogs," the youthful element which he has introduced into the Roosevelt circle, have been using the word "revolution" with careless abandon. Mr. Richberg in several of his speeches has said we are in the midst of one. People acquainted with debonair Rexford Tugwell, knee deep in ideas for economic planning...

Even if a non-partisan committee afterwards carries on their own investigation actual facts may prove difficult to find...

The doctor is the head of public school system in Gary, Indiana, one of the larger fiefs in the domain of the United States Steel Corporation, named in honor of the late lord of that house. Judge Gary's ghost, outraged at what the Code Age has done to his life work, must be haunting the purlieus of Gary nightly and scaring the good doctor to death...
...Judge's corporation. Time has been hard on these, as on all ideals. First it was the twelve hour day, cast out some time age with the approbation of that noted Red, with the approbation of that noted Red, President Hoover. And now these codes...No wonder Dr. Wirt is seeing ghosts. SCIO
