Just before Judge Sykes was introduced, Mr. Hard remarked that having introduced the newer members of the Commis¬ sion, he would now present the older ones, Chairman Sykes and Colonel Brown. Whereupon former Commissioner Judge Robinson stopped the show by remarking in a stage whisper, "I've heard them", and then proceeded to walk out.
Commissioner Thad Brown was described by Hard as "a regular and irregular Ohio Republican, a Theodore Roosevelt 'Bull Mooser' , originally appointed by Herbert Hoover and reappointed to serve on Frank Roosevelt's Democratic Commission."
"Teddy Roosevelt is my political idol", Colonel Brown replied. "He is the only one I ever had and if he were living today, he would still be my idol. "
Paul Spearman, new General Counsel, like Judge Sykes, a native of Mississippi, brought forth the last shaft of the toastmaster who said:
"Two on the Commission are from Mississippi, two are from Texas, and one is from Oklahoma anything west or north¬ west of a line drawn from Oklahoma to Ohio in communications doesn't seem to count in the New Deal."
The only one closely connected with the new regime not called upon to make a speech was Herbert Pettey, Secretary of the Communications Commission. Pettey, whose principal job seems to be dispensing political patronage for Farley, and who was described by one correspondent as a "facile denier", evidently isn't expected to make speeches.
