...Empower U. S. Circuit Courts of Appeal to review NLRB's findings. (NLRB frankly doubts that many judges are competent to scent the innumerable subtleties of Labor warfare, is already worried because the U. S. Supreme Court has in effect given lower courts the power proposed...

The entire review is full of contradictions which are caused, it would seem, by a desire to twist it into such an attack. The "artistry" has been successful, but the "art" has gone "too far for its own good." The "body" of the play is "Too beautiful" but the "book" is poor.
