This article presents information about U.S. politics. It scarcely matters whether the U.S. President used the term "munitions lobby" in a discussion with a group of U.S. Senators. Even high school freshmen know the lobby exists. One of its most patriotic branches is the aircraft-missiles industry. Of course, patriotism is not enough. They want money too, and lots of it. Before he was flown to Texas for a period of enforced rest, Governor Earl Long of Louisiana offered the state legislature a terse description of his qualifications to hold office. That has the ring of truth learned in battle. Long has been declared temporarily deranged, and certain of his other public statements tend to support the diagnosis.
