THE CONGRESS: Ax for Chip?

(2 of 2)

While Chip's plane roared on toward Washington, Franklin Roosevelt was holding a press conference. A reporter wanted to know what about those Navy contracts. Mr. Roosevelt said that he had heard of a good deal of smoke and had seen a good deal of smoke, and that if there were any improper fire behind it he hoped that Congress would go right after it. Newsmen took this to mean that the ax was being sharpened up at last for Chip Robert.

New Dealers, who have been gunning for the Boss's Georgia friend for years, figured this time they might have him. Chip Robert is first of all a businessman. If he were given to understand that there will be no more Government contracts until he quits his job on the Committee, he might resign.
