...partisan primaries last month Maurice Sugar, counsel to the United Automobile Workers, and Richard Frankensteen, U. A. W. vice president and hero of the Ford "Battle of the Overpass." both placed among the first nine of the 18 councilmanic candidates named for the run-off election (TIME, Oct. 18). Three other U. A. W. candidates earned places on the councilmanic ballot...
Moreover, every one of C. I. O.'s five councilmanic candidates remained in the running. Maurice Sugar, U. A. W.'s attorney, placed seventh with 88,000. Richard Frankensteen, U. A. W.,'s assistant president and hero of the "Battle of the Overpass" at the Ford plant, was ninth with 83,000. Thirteenth was Tracy Doll, president of U. A.

Most spectacular case before the overworked National Labor Relations Board at the moment is Ford Motor Co., charged with violating Labor's Magna Carta, the Wagner Act. Filed after the "Battle of the Overpass" when Richard Frankensteen and other United Automobile Workers were set upon and beaten up as they attempted to distribute union literature at the gate of Ford's vast River Rouge plant (TIME, June 7). the Labor Board's complaint accuses Henry Ford of virtually every unfair labor practice covered by the law.
