Behind the Scenes in Congress and Leadership Shifts
Washington coverage notes Pat Morrison of Mississippi and John J. O Connor of New York challenged for majority leadership in the Senate and House. Both aligned with anti Roosevelt forces, gaining support as leaders of a new bloc opposing the New Deal and Roosevelt’s choices.
