Ford attorneys have maintained
tho jury must consider that when
the Tribune called Ford an an

The court ruled Ford a subject
Of fair comment because OF his
position as head OF the Ford Motor
company. In which capacity his at
tltude toward those Of his men

subject Of great public Interest.
He said the editorial complained
