| Description | World War II cartoon shows Uncle Sam as an air raid warden sounding the "all-clear" signal as a relieved group of congressional leaders: Senate Minority Leader Wallace H. White, Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn, House Minority Leader Joseph Martin, and Senate Majority Leader Alben Barkley emerge from an air raid shelter. In the background can be seen a huge explosion labeled "1944 Elections." Actually, the 1944 elections were a relatively tame affair leaving the makeup of the Congress much the same as before. |
