Democrat Whelan is already being mentioned as a candidate to run against New Jersey's popular Republican U.S. Senator, Clifford Case, who comes up for re-election in 1966. Whelan has been realistic enough to win the support of Jersey City's present Democratic boss, John V. Kenny-even to the point of naming Kenny's son-in-law to a $20,000-a-year post as administrator of the city medical center. In a campaign against Case, Whelan's pitch would be his familiarity with the problems of New Jersey's cities. "The ills...
Acting under its broad new confession doctrine (People v. Dorado), the California Supreme Court has voided Martinez's confession on the ground that the police failed to warn him of his rights to silence and to counsel as soon as they had other solid evidence against him-his fingerprints at the scene of the crime. In effect, that reversal also destroyed the case against Aranda-and spurred the court to confront the whole problem of how confessions should be handled in joint trials...
Brainwiping. In 1957 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled by a vote of 5 to 4 that federal juries could be trusted to follow judges' instructions and compartmentalize the evidence against codefendants, because otherwise "the jury system does not make sense." But in that decision (Delli Paoli v. U.S.), the four dissenters argued, in the words of Justice Felix Frankfurter, that whatever is said in joint trials "cannot be wiped from the brains of the jurors." And this year the court seemed to lean toward the Frankfurter attitude as it struck down a similar kind of mental gymnastics...
...Clorox v. Purex. The FTC case arose from P. &G.'s acquisition in 1957 of Clorox Chemical Co., which held 49% of the market for liquid household bleaches. Second-place Purex Corp., which had 16% of the market, had managed by heavy promotion to boost its share in several areas, including the Erie, Pa., market, where it had captured 33%. Clorox, now backed by P. & G.'s marketing know-how and money, did not let the gains go unchallenged. It blanketed the areas with ads, offered $1 ironing-board covers for 50? and cut the price of Clorox...
...Overseas, too, P. & G.'s brand of competition is running into reaction. In Germany, many of its sales methods have been outlawed to protect German firms, its advertising criticized in the press. Rival Colgate, which has adapted to foreign ways, now gets 87% of its profits from abroad v. 17.5% for P. & G. All of this has created a certain air of frustration among P. & G.'s dedicated employees, who believe with P. & G. Chairman (and former Defense Secretary) Neil McElroy that "in a competitive market like ours, you just can't afford to hold anything back...
