Circuit Judge Paul V. Gadola of Flint, whose contempt citations against General Motors strikers were ignored at the Governor's order in 1937, testified with much heat. Whereupon Representative Harold G. Mosier of Ohio, who was defeated by C. I. O. pressure in the recent Democratic primary, addressed the judge: ''Let's get this matter straight. Just to show there was no politics in it, Governor Murphy is a Democrat and you are a Democrat.'' "I am not," cried Judge Gadola. "I am a Republican!

M.'s Finance Chairman Donaldson Brown and General Counsel John Thomas Smith showed the effects of the long weeks of responsibility...
...Governor Murphy's request, 250-lb. Sheriff Wolcott had made no move to enforce Judge Gadola's injunction. After three days a G. M. superintendent went to the judge, got a writ ordering arrest of the sit-downers and of 15 union officials, including Homer Martin, for contempt of court. To Detroit went word that Sheriff Wolcott was preparing to lead an army of Flint policemen, deputies, American Legionaries, sheriffs and General Motors police to serve the writ. Few hours after President Roosevelt sent to Congress his message on judicial reorganization (see p. 16), the supremacy of Executive...
