...typewriter, Dr. Shipler called Tsar Will Hays a "window-dresser" and "office boy'' in 1929, later smoked out the fact that on the Hays payroll were two employes of the Federal Council of Churches. In November 1931 The Churchman editorialized as follows: "Will H. Hays, Adolph Zukor, Gabriel Hess, Charles C. Pettijohn and numbers of other individuals and film-producers have been indicted in the Province of Ontario for conspiring to prevent competition in that portion of Canada.

When the Supreme Court chopped off the Blue Eagle's head, the copper industry came to a standstill. Nobody wanted to be the first to slash prices, especially since inventory-taking was less than two months off. Aged Philanthropist Adolph Lewisohn, president of Miami Copper Co., did his best to stave off a price panic fortnight ago by crying stoutly: "I have been associated with the copper industry for more than 50 years and only once prior to the Depression have I seen such a low price as 9?. . . .
