...done a thousand times before during the National Labor Relations Board hearings on the Ford Motor Co. case in Detroit (TIME, July 26), Louis J. Colombo Sr., the swart, able Ford counsel, shouted one day last week: "I object." Lawyer Colombo objected to the way the Labor Board counsel was riding a Ford foreman who testified that he fired a man, not for union activity as charged, but for "gazing off into space." But Lawyer Colombo's objection was overruled by Trial Examiner John T. Lindsay. Lawyer Colombo started to say: "I am going to object every time . . ." when...
...Exposition offers no French motor cars, but at 15,000 francs or $560 was offered last week the two-cylinder 32 h. p.

In a year of booming automobile sales this reduction by itself might appear small comfort to an old and long stagnant motor-maker. But the true state of Hupp was discernible last week not in its profit & loss account but in the balance sheet and in its big plant off Detroit's East Grand Boulevard. In both of these stagnation lurked no longer...
...aggressive 42-year old Hupp executive named Thomas Bradley. As director of purchases for the company since 1934, bristle-topped, freckled Mr. Bradley had an inside view of the effect of Andrews' cavalier administration. Having been a vice-president and director of the old Paige-Detroit Motor Car Co. and a director of its successor, Graham Paige, he also knew a great deal about the independent automobile business. In the spring of 1936 Bradley took counsel with Hupp's director of sales and chief engineer, drew up an analysis of the company which he put before the directors...
