Although most U. S. churchmen have long agreed that in decency's name the U. S. cinema should be regulated, some liberals have squirmed because the strict regulation which now exists was devised by Roman Catholics, is now in the Catholic hands of Motion Picture Production Code Administrator Joseph I.

Already enlisted as a GOP speaker, however, was a more famed New Deal martyr, Fred C. Perkins of York, Pa. Because he could not pay workers in his battery plant NRA code wages, the big, hairy-fisted onetime Cornell footballer went to jail for 18 days, was fined $1,500, became the nation's prime symbol of the "little man" oppressed by NRA (TIME, Dec. 17, 1934 et seq.).
