...Ford was balking at the NRA code for his industry. President Roosevelt asked Recovery Administrator Johnson why. General Johnson could have replied that Mr. Ford paid better wages (50? an hour) than his competitors under the code (43?) but that he strenuously objected to its collective bargaining clause which might unionize his factories and to its provision permitting the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce (of which Ford is not a member) to pry into his books, unearth trade secrets. Whether he signed or not Mr. Ford was subject to the Code's provisions, could be fined...
...issue thus drawn between President Roosevelt and Mr. Ford seemed to involve much more than just the automobile industry's code. It was the first clean-cut major encounter between the new "robust collectivism" and a prime exponent of the old "rugged individualism." Mr. Ford had supported President Hoover in the campaign. His defiance of the NRA would strike at the heart of the President's recovery program. General Johnson was deeply troubled. He did not want to risk a court fight against the Ford millions.

...criminal lawyers bitterly oppose any legal reforms which might reduce their clients' chances to keep out of prison. Few of these criminal lawyers belong to bar associations.

To oilmen most important of all was the P. C. C. Its 15 members would settle the key question of price-fixing. Checking off the appointees last week, oilmen soon saw that at least two-thirds of the P. C. C. frankly...
...When the gangster shoots a schoolboy whom he finds skulking in his bedroom, the schoolboys form a secret society for revenge. Here Director DeMille, more up to date in method than in ideology, stole a few ideas from Nerofilm's M. Whistling bars from "Yankee Doodle" as a code signal, the members of the secret society creep up on Garrett, gag and bind him with adhesive tape while he is having his shoes shined. A high-school girl (Judith Allen) entertains his bodyguard while the boys take Garrett to a deserted factory, try him in a kangaroo court, exact...
