Editorial jabs and gossip from a White House and Broadway
A fragment from a 1940s style column recounts a White House staffer presenting a Midwest editorial attack to FDR and the president’s quip. It then shifts to society tidbits, a bride’s voyage from London, a fortune teller prophecy, submarine fears, Broadway gossipy notes, and a bit on Kiplinger’s Washington and the Mattson kidnapping case plus film gossip about Road to Morocco and Eddie Davis.

Louise Atwill and the Senator Talk of History
Notes of a New Yorker recount a Washington party ride home with Louise Atwill ex-wife of Gen. MacArtine and a Senator. The exchange questions if she regrets not being a great general’s wife and who makes history like Napolean’s wives. The piece shifts to U S government soil and farm labor notes urging efficient production, soil conservation, and fertilizer use to increase output amid shortages and rationing.
