LT. SUMOCO. WBSNESDAYS JT1MF. 29 . GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY: There*11 be no congressional investigation of President Roosevelt*s activities in politics. That was decided today by the Committee of Senators investigating pre-campaign activities. This refers of course to the President*s announced intervention intentions in behalf of New Deal candidate, in the primaries. The Committee considers allthis outside its jurisdiction. Senator Morris Sheppard, Chairman of the Committee, expressed it this way: speech from the President to the country at large is an entirely different situation frop that of Aubrey Williams, Deputy Works Progress Administrator, and does nto come within the jurisdiction of the Committee.” Then he added:- ”The President is entirely within his rights in making a general statement to the country at large.” That speech of Aubrey Williams to the workers alliance, urging them to "Keep your friends in power", is still having repercussions. barton The Republican State Convention of IndianaVtoigaW today. 1/ r^SU T&tf' t**** The keynoter was not. a^ioosier, du * a New Yorker, Representati Bruce Barton.

To that end, Jim Farley will resign as Postmaster General in December. So says the Daily Citizen of Brooklym, M. 1 The story is circumstantial in detail. Some time ago. Judge Landis informed his intimate friends that he was going to stick on as Czar until he had done away with the farm system in organized baseball, the system by which major league clubs own minor league clubs that own miner-minor league clubs, and so on — ad infinitum — like the big fleas that have little i f#as to bite »em. ,,The story continues that Judge Landis will ot resign until December, with Jim Farley stepping in.
