# Analysis of Judge Page **Top Cartoon ("Turn About"):** This satirizes Navy recruitment difficulties and compares American college student protests to European demonstrations. The cartoon shows military officers chasing what appear to be reluctant recruits or students, suggesting the Navy struggles to recruit while students avoid military service through activism. **Bottom Cartoon ("Dark Horses of 1932"):** Profiles Republican Senator Jesse Wax, apparently a political newcomer gaining attention. The domestic scene shows a woman calling out "I don't need any wood chopped—but, can you darn socks?!" — likely mocking his ability to handle practical governing versus theoretical politics, or suggesting unproven political credentials during the Depression era when economic management was critical.
