Negotiations broke off. Thurman Arnold had the criminal case reopened before a grand jury in Judge Thomas W. Slick...
...Ford Motor Co., Universal Credit Corp. and twelve more executives. Maximum penalty for conviction on the indictments of violating the Sherman Act is $5,000 or a year in jail, or both.
