Roosevelt’s New Face in Public Struggle With Press
In this issue, a shifting Roosevelt pace is outlined as reversals alter his technique with the press. He shows a more guarded, strategic posture, avoiding direct answers while pressing through behind the scenes to steer legislation like TVA and holding company bills. The column also surveys Ickes and Ickes’ finance maneuvers, naval pact debates, and the broad tension between executive aims and Congressional resistance. It notes scrutiny of work relief, party patronage, and fingerprinting of New York City civilians.
