National Whirligig analyzes political winds in Washington
The column notes Gerald L. K. Smith's visit to the capital and his bids to unite Townsendites and share-the-wealth supporters against FDR. It surveys labor tensions, Landon’s expected second-ballot surge, and a propaganda clash between Hopkins and Ickes over WPA and PWA funding, with foreign policy concerns looming.
