...more rational than the one it ribs, and any amount more entertaining-a world in which children are hideously overeducated and essentially very sinister; lawyers (notably Cruikshank-like John Carradine) are crooks who will not only not stop at murder but prefer to begin with it; gangsters (William Bendix et al.) hold stockholders' meetings as punctiliously as any other big businessmen; the high priest of the mysteries exhumed by Sigmund Freud is a wild-eyed goon (Jerry Colonna) who can't stop slapping his own face.

...long as the N.A.M. and its approximate 12,500 businessmen withheld its support of the charter, its effectiveness was hobbled. But Johnston, Murray et al. have a sound reason for hoping that N.A.M., at least, will soon stop sulking and join them. It is the same reason that induced them to put their heads together. Unless business and labor resolve their quarrels, they are keenly aware that the Federal Government might step in with controls which would strait-jacket both...
