...which he has edited & published for 30 years. It has never come close to monopolizing his interests. Long a power in Virginia politics, he is credited with electing his friend Harry Byrd to the governorship. He has been president of American Newspaper Publishers Association and member of its NRA code committee, president of Community Chests & Councils, Inc., rector of University of Virginia's Board of Visitors. An active churchman, a fluent and witty public speaker, a leader in every benevolent project, he has been voted Richmond's most useful citizen...

The reason given was a '"technicality": the clause in every other copy of the Oil Code which made a violation of a State production quota a violation of the Code-the clause on which the whole case hinged - was found to be missing from the original text signed by the President. New oil legislation will probably be presented to the next Congress...
