In Chicago, Mr. Sabath, who was born in what later became Czechoslovakia, hopefully said: "Whatever power I can wield [as chairman] will be used...
...Cracked down on a Chicago drug chain's advertising. In the first such action since the Wheeler-Lea Act amended the Federal Trade Commission Act last June, FTC announced that upon its recommendation a U. S.
