Hermitage plans and a presidential reform idea
The piece follows a couple considering moving to a rural hermitage near Cedar Rapids with three children, prioritizing isolation and a wood heated home yet avoiding simple outside plumbing. It also reports Hoover proposing a new administrative vice president role to ease presidential burdens, and mentions Meany and Reuther denying domination, plus an escape from Jaeger jail.
