...months ago at Tampa, Fla., Federal Judge Alexander Akerman made national news when he removed a handful of feathers from the Blue Eagle's tail by refusing to enjoin a dry cleaner who had violated NRA's minimum price agreement (TIME, Dec. 11).

Y., a Lowell, Mass, restaurateur and a Chelsea, Mass, dry cleaner. For violating wage and working time agreements, they were ordered to surrender their NRA insignia to their local postmasters. Under the President's order, General Johnson was now empowered to jail and fine such offenders, to "prescribe such rules and regulations as he may deem necessary to . . . carry out the purposes and intent . . . of this order." General Johnson's first prescription emphasized that...
