Hurja Out

Postmaster General & Democratic Chairman James A. Farley has been readying to leave Washington for months, and last week his right-hand man, Democratic Executive Director Emil Hurja, announced that he would soon be leaving, too. Famed as a wizard of political analysis after calling the turn in the 1932 and 1934 election's. Statistician Hurja was outdone by his boss last November when he guessed only 376 electoral votes for Roosevelt, against "General" Farley's bull's-eye 523. But that was no more reason for one to leave than for the other to stay. Their Washington job--to put & keep Franklin Roosevelt in the White House-- was done, and private business was ready to bid high for their talents. Slated to become president of a Manhattan insurance company Emil Hurja should improve his present $10,000-per-year salary by a ratio considerably better than 376-to-523.
