In most companies any man who owned over half a million shares of voting stock could be pointed out as a controlling factor, but not so in General Motors. The company...
Purpose of the Freedom of the Press Committee, so far as was revealed, is to intensify public sentiment in favor of press-freedom. Speakers at the meeting viewed with alarm the fact that the U. S. Supreme Court voted the Minnesota "gag law" unconstitutional by such a small margin as 5 to 4 (TIME, June 8 et ante). But the first specific function of the Committee will be a celebration of that vote, on Oct. 20 at Thomas Jefferson's ''Monticello" near Charlottesville, Va. One room of "Monticello," maintained by the Jefferson Foundation, is to be designated...
