Savant, satirical essayist, educator and iconoclostic thinker, Miguel de Unamuno's barbed comments on events and foibles of his country earned for him the sobriquet of "the George Bernard Shaw of Spain." Many of his terse shots at the social and political trends of first the monarchy and then the republic which he himself had helped establish, passed immediately into Castillian literature as classical apothegms.

Mr. Roosevelt was said in usually well-informed sources to oppose any immediate effort to amend the constitution on the ground that such a procedure would be slow, cumbersome, and unnecessary.

The White House was said to feel doubtful about the proposal of Senator O'Mahoney a system of federal licences for firms carrying on an interstate business.

Although those who had talked to the President said he was strongly inclined toward this type of legislation, they made it that he was eager to consider any other scheme Congress might advance. Thomas Corcoran, Reconstruction Finance Corporation attorney, who has long stood high in New Deal councils, was expected to play a large part in drafting the proposed law.
