...Arnold's predecessor in charge of trust-busting was Robert Jackson who, last December, ran up against a haymaker from Federal Judge Ferdinand Geiger in Milwaukee. For a year Mr. Jackson's department had been investigating the connection between the Big Three motor-makers (Ford, General Motors, Chrysler) and the Big Four auto-financing companies (General Motors Acceptance Corp., Commercial Credit, Universal Credit Corp.. Commercial Investment Trust). The Assistant Attorney General was trying to get criminal indictments against them for violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. But Judge Geiger discharged the grand jury when he discovered that...
...General Motors Sales Corp., Alfred P. Sloan Jr., William S. Knudsen, and 17 other General Motors and G. M. A. C. executives. Second was against Chrysler Corp., Chrysler Sales Corp., Dodge, De Soto, Plymouth, Commercial Credit Co., and 18 executives, including Walter P. Chrysler. Third was against Edsel Ford, Ford Motor Co., Universal Credit Corp. and twelve more executives. Maximum penalty for conviction on the indictments of violating the Sherman Act is $5,000 or a year in jail, or both. But the case is not likely to go before a jury until October, and Thurman Arnold presumably still believes...
...Ford Motor Co. mails dividend checks to only three stockholders-Henry Ford, his son Edsel and Edsel's wife, Eleanor.

Spanish 4 and 2 are the only courses which can qualify as Spanish literature courses. The former is a general view, corresponding to French 6, and could almost stand being a full course. Professor Ford gives both this and number 2 on the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and Cervantes. The defect of the other Spanish literature courses is that there is too much emphasis on the mechanics of translation. Whittem, and to a lesser degree Rivera, are both at their best on composition and tend to neglect the literary aspect of their material...
...Washington last week, Unemployment Census Director John D. Biggers, whose Libby-Owens-Ford-Glass Co. has contributed to Ohio's relief troubles by discharging 4,000 of its 5,000 Toledo workers, contributed a garish reminder of the size of the relief problem. He released his final figure on the total number of unemployed who registered in last November's census: 7,845,016. This, as he pointed out, is as big as the combined population of Nevada, Wyoming, Delaware, Vermont, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho, New Hampshire, Utah, Montana, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Maine, Oregon...
