...Chairman Madden's first big press conference after the Supreme Court's favorable decision on the Wagner Act heard exactly alike. The New York Herald Tribune recorded his statement: "This means the solution of industrial peace. It will not be necessary henceforth to have strikes to establish the right of labor unions to recognition for collective bargaining." New York Times: "This [decision] means industrial peace." New York News: "This Supreme Court decision means industrial peace for America...
...salesman, Terry Keith (Johnny Downs). Obstacles to their coalition and therefore to Tweep's and Dinwiddy's are: 1) efforts of Store Manager Truelove Spencer (Grady Sutton) to annex the girl himself; 2) Miss Tweep's cynical attitude toward astrology; 3) Dinwiddy's inability to establish his identity when arrested, drunk, for breaking up the sporting goods department with a shotgun.

Another personal idiosyncrasy: he hates suspenders, ridicules staffmen who wear them, calls them "sissy." Accustomed to bossing his own business, he champions local causes; alienated the advertising of a Nashville store by exposing its sale...
