...leading politicians in the little village of Ecorse just outside Detroit are William W. Voisine and WT. Newton Hawkins. William Voisine was President of the Village from 1933 to 1936.

Last month the Supreme Court Justices found the election a draw, ordered the two politicians to decide the issue by lot. Last week they pulled slips out of a hat. Newton Hawkins...

...FTCommissioner Charles H. March was on hand to help. But his place in the sun was definitely overshadowed by Gardner Withrow. With the FTC scheduled to begin its investigation of automobile monopoly five days after the N. A. D. A. convention ended, stocky, heavy-jawed Sponsor Withrow appeared in Detroit to explain it. What he had to say was the most vigorous tongue-lashing the automotive industry has had from a Congressman in many a day. Excerpts...
