 Wallace's one ambition is to help small business. He believes that this is where a great portion of the promised 60,OOO,000 jobs are coming from after the war and in the job of Secretary of Commerce he has some ideas that he thinks would spur small business and produce jobs
 But sitting at FDR's right hand in the White House is Harry Hop kins, bosom pal of Jesse Jones. And every time the President gets tender -hearted about offering Wal lace something important, Harry jogs his elbow.
