As additional balm, Mr. Peek had the satisfaction of seeing three codes (retail food, wholesale food, food manufacturers) that had been transferred from AAA to NRA approved within 48 hr. and sent to the President without the stringent Tugwell amendments: 1) for government control, 2) for complete...
...above Group VI have been eligible for the positions, it was found possible to place only one hundred and thirty-eight of the two hundred and eighty-five that applied.
