utilization of the pre ent productive capacity of indu tries, by avoiding undue r striction of production ( except a may be temporarily

and relieving unemployment, by improving ·tan lard · of labor, and 

by otherwise rehabilitating indu try. 

(b) Said Industry normally employs not more than 50 000 employees; and i · not cla ified by me as a major inclu try. 

( c) The Code a approYed complie. in all respect with the pertinent proYisions of aid Title of aid .... ct, including ,vithout limitation Sub ection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and
