Federal Reorganization Bill
Franco keeps winning battles against the Loyalists. The Senate looks ready to approve the Federal Reorganization bill, but then Father Coughlin publicly criticizes Roosevelt's ideas. After his speech, the government gets swamped with telegrams from angry people. Before his execution, Everett Jones shares the story of his life. The show also looks back at a peace effort that came close to working before the first war started. Now, people are trying to make peace happen again in a similar way.
