Cabinet resignations loom in Washington the first of three
The Washington Merry-Go-Round reports a series of resignations starting with Commerce Secretary Dan Roper who will retire in late January after six years in the post. His successor likely is Harry Hopkins, with Audrey Williams as a probable third. Williams pulses between defense planning and youth administration as he guides a busy Washington delegation. Roper nears 71, weighing law practice or business offers as he steps out. He remains on cordial terms with two New Deal allies who sit on opposite sides of the political fence.
