TESTIMONY IN

automobile dealers code is uncon-
stitutional.
The plaintiffs case was summed
up with a preliminary statement BY
FL. II. Galbraith and a similar state
ment on behalf OF the government
was made by U. $. Attorney McGre-
gor.
The governments position Is that
the court has no jurisdiction In the
case, alleging that neither Avery
nor O~nderdonk had authority to
file legal action against the Bogus
Motor company. An injunction re-
straining them from filing such ac-
ton would be meaningless, the dis
trict attorney commended. He fur
Their stated that Avery and Onder-
donk arc no longer connected with
NRA enforcement In this section
and that they could not possibly
interfere with operations OF the
a6LLlIlerH CUIlCeIH.
Claim No Jurisdiction
A to District Attorney McGiregor,
the government also commended that
the court had no jurisdiction. al
leging that he had never threatened
to prosecute the Valley company.
After these preliminary state
ments, Bogus was placed on the
stand a. plaintiffs first witness.
His Harlingen leadership does q
Valley business with a volume OF
about 100000 a year, handling
about IFS new and 800 used cars. the
witness told the court.
Questioned by Mr.. Galbraith, the
witness stated that neither he nor
anoyne connected with his concern
signed the retail dealers code,
although he was active in forming
a Valley organization which at
tempted TO live up 10 the codes pro-
visions.
Confusing Information
The only information, which was
confusing, that he received on the
code came from the state advisory
committee and from the National
Automobile Dealers association,
Bogus told the court. Independent
garage owners never we're placed
under any form OF a code, and they
furnished hard competition for the
dealers attempting 70 follow code
regulations. he stated.
He did not break away from the
regulations, Bogus stated. until On
derdonk told him that he had been
ordered not to enforce the fair
practice provisions OF the code. On
derdOnk told him that he had been
told only to enforce the wage and
hours provision Of the code. the
witness stated.
This information was given him,
the dealer stated, after the Valley
group had made numerous un5uc-
ceSSful attempts 10 get full enforce
meng OF the fair practice provisions.
The dealers. Yhen this became
known, decided 70 petition higher
authorities asking that the whole
code be enforced OF that 1t be
dropped. II was stated.
Says Found T~nfraction'
II was then. Bogus stated, that
O%nderdonk approached him indi-
that he hau found an in
fraction OF the wage and hours pro-
vision In the Harlingen concern, al
leging that the firm owed $50 70
two workmen under these regula-
tons. This was finally reduced TO
$3.50 by the agent, the witness
said. but he refused to pay, invit-
ing the NRA agents to file COM
plants against him.
In their efforts TO have him pay
$3.50 and sign a compliance agree
ment, Bogus asserted, the agents
intimated that the judiciary was
stacked" against any NRA viola
tors This was told him b. the
agents III the nature Of "confiden-
tia" information. the automobile
dealer told the court.

knowing 1t was dead he wasn't
2 bit concerned about II and there,
three thousand or more feet away
and still on the Lindbergh estate. he
yanked and ripped the sleeping
garment OF that child off its body.
Though 1t was cold, and raw, he

garment off that child. because he
didn't need the child. as We will

garment.
