Prohibition lobby vies for power on Capitol Hill
Washington reports a renewed Dry campaign led by the Women’s Christian Temperance Union and allied groups. They target soldiers near military reservations with limits on alcohol sales and push local option laws. Postmaster General Walker expands foreign propaganda controls, seizing 15 tons of material and lining up lists of Nazi, Fascist, and Japanese sympathizers for warrants. Sen. Vandenberg showcases oratory as he jokes about strong arguments, while farm relief debates consume Roosevelt’s attention and Rep. Halleck shifts toward Wendell Willkie on lend-lease. Minnesota’s Harold Stassen sees little support from Dewey allies for his presidential bid.
