Last fortnight Assistant Attorney General Jackson, one of the nation's ablest trial lawyers, went to Pittsburgh and did his persuasive best to make Judge Gibson change his mind. He denied that the charges of 1912 and 1937 were identical. In 1912, he declared, the Government had only sought to restrain Aluminum Co. from, certain monopolistic practices; now it was trying to dissolve the company. Since 1912 the company had expanded and extended its control of the market, establishing Aluminum Ltd. of Canada "to prevent competition from abroad." The consent decree of 1912 was still in effect, returned Alcoa...
...Judge Gibson retired to his chambers to ponder these perplexities. Last week he emerged to announce that his mind was unchanged, to strengthen his restraining order by issuing a temporary injunction. Final hearing on a permanent injunction would be held later. Thoroughly vexed at this stubborn obstacle in their path, Government attorneys pondered whether to make one more attempt to win Judge Gibson over; to try to get the Manhattan Court to enjoin him; or to appeal the case to a higher Federal Court...
...made himself nationally famous by his lectures on Wagner, is still active with a children's music hour on the radio. Arthur Guiterman, whose verses in oldtime Life and elsewhere were for a generation as much of a U.

Behind the Headlines (RKO). Reporters who had to compete with Newsflash Broadcaster Eddy Haines (Lee Tracy) agreed that if they threw him out of the window he would scoop them by broadcasting the news all the way to the ground. Mary Bradley (Diana Gibson), the Star's sobsister, had been engaged to him until he sent her to pick out a ring while he beat her to the story of a round-the-world flight. In her opinion he was such an "utter cockroach" that she hired thugs to bar him from a dance hall fire, news of which...
...automobiles to rehearse a holdup, Behind the Headlines is an unusually exciting program melodrama. To Lee Tracy addicts it marks one more, perhaps a permanent "comeback" of their favorite, who is now alleged to have forsworn the haywire ways which brought him into disrepute with Hollywood producers. Diana Gibson looks like an outdoor version of Marion Nixon and acts with a promising swing. Best shots: Tracy defeating his hecklers by getting into the burning dance hall through the skylight; the Potter gang capturing the gold shipment by overcoming the staff of the armored car with gas released from an attacking...
