The column argues misinterpretation of Senator Barkley’s February 23 1944 revolt speech. It clarifies Barkley did not call Roosevelt dishonest, and explains semantic gaps between speaker intent and listener reception.
A near miss on Constitution Avenue as a truck darted toward the presidential car carrying Truman and Byrnes. Public concern about safety and succession notes follow, with references to Hoover and past presidential auto incidents and the Alexander Hamilton Institute warning on 1946 savings and inflation.
The speech featured two biting passages aimed at the President and Congress. Barkley defended Congress against the accusation that tax law drafting flaws were its fault, while noting FDR’s lack of tax committee experience. The exchange highlighted tension over tax complexity and executive protest.
The piece notes the subnormal old grain reserves and urges caution as experts warn of shortages. President Truman resents congressional riders linked to bills, likening postwar policy battles to FDR era fights. The European famine may spur pest and rodent problems endangering grain supplies. The quip ends with depowered royalty and returning veterans facing housing troubles.
Roanoke Island revival of Paul Green’s Lost Colony returns for 1946 with a new stage over Roanoke Sound. The epic replays the Raleigh colony tale in an expansive amphitheater, using 200 performers and a shifting lighted water set.
A collage of historic quips and satirical lines from public figures and press columns. Jokes about Justices Black and Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt, Justice Holmes, and diplomatic quips reflect a brisk wartime to postwar culture. Broadway and Silhouettes gossip round out the snippets with celebrity sighting notes.
