President Roosevelt disclosed he authorized buying Argentine canned corned beef for the Navy, a plan that sparked protests in Congress over reliance on foreign meat. The Dies committee hearings revealed an alleged anti Jewish campaign involving a high Army officer, prompting alarm among officials and public figures about wartime politics and civil rights. The piece also notes shifts in 1940 election planning and personnel resignations at Commerce and related offices.
