Hubert Holloway OF the public rela-
tlons STAN OF the American Automobile
Association, patentees and original own
ers OF the A. A. A. combination of
initials, Is now engaged in diplomatic
negotiations with the agriculture COM
mlttees OF House and Senate. He seeks
to recover the associations exclusive
rights in the famous trio of letters. Al
though the New Deal A. A. A. was

though there's been talk of pitting q
well-known labor leader against McAdoo.

among these Frank chose most Of his
