When Federal Trade Commissioner Lowell Mason spoke before the hardware manufacturers convention in Atlantic City last week, startled hardwaremen wondered if they were hearing aright. He addressed them as "fellow law-violators" and told them they were all probably violating the Supreme Court decision which FTC had won against basing points (TIME, July 19).

Washington newsmen heard that the Department looked to the PIR to set matters aright; that the PIR was nothing but a Soviet tool, and therefore suspect. (The sources of this report had apparently not heard about Teheran.) Secretary Cordell Hull conferred for an hour with British Ambassador Lord Halifax, discussing the Bolivian crisis. Obvious topic would be a possible united front against Argentina...
