Lola jammed No that is, yes Keynote Dear Alben Barkley settled down for six months in Washington. Well be here until June, he told reporters, but I doubt if there will be much new legislation. There probably will be efforts to amend the Wagner act and the wage-hou- r law. The reciprocal trade treaty program probably will cause the greatest controversy. He told no lie there, and President Roosevelt knew it. Striking fast, before the opposition had a chance to open its mouth, the President keynoted the second session of the seventy-sixt- h congress in a speech which attacked of trade the destructive mine-fiel- d restrictions.

Fast on the heels of President Roosevelts judicial and justice appointments came a bakers dozen of explanations. Among them: Attorney General Frank Murphy was named to the Supreme court (a popular appointment) to get him out of the 1940 presidential picture; Solicitor General Robert H.
