Paradox of Spending Record Marks End of Roosevelt's 1939 Session
The Seventy Sixth Congress closes amid a record wartime peacetime spend of 13.344 billion dollars while Roosevelt faces White House opposition to key aims.

Political shift centers on McNutt rising, Taft entering the race, and ongoing Dies committee activity. This wrap summarizes confrontations, victories, and defeats shaping the 1940 campaign landscape.
