Aaron Sapiro, Jewish lawyer and organizer of farm cooperatives, is suing Henry Ford for $1,000,000 because of certain articles which appeared in the Dearborn Independent (TIME, March 21, 28). But, as the trial entered its fourth week, it seemed as if Mr. Sapiro were defending himself. For five days, he was put through a thoroughgoing grilling on the witness stand by Senator James A.

...possible inroads of the gutter-press upon the circulations of sound newspapers, were relieved last week. The New York Times, lodestar of U.

Taking his share of the capital and "handsome profit" derived by the sale of the Birmingham Age-Herald (TIME, March 21) Frederick I. Thompson, publisher of all the newspapers in Mobile, Ala., last week bought an Evening Times, and thereby became publisher of all the evening newspapers in his state's capital, Montgomery. He merged the Evening Times with his Montgomery Evening Journal. Publisher Thompson's onetime partners in Birmingham, onetime Governor Braxton Bragg Comer and son Donald Comer, were not associated with him in the new purchase, their interest in newspapers having been purely industria-political.
