ling Products Is closely affiliated with this big Nazi firm, and after Roosevelt imposed a blacklist on Nazi firms in Latin America, Sterling took over the distrihu- ton of German drug products in South America, actually printing the labels in the U. s. A, to look like the German product. It also turned over large ai1iounts of money to the German firm.
 NEW DEALERS TO RESCUE,
 On the other side of the pie ture, Sterling Products not only had Tommy the Cork as its coun. sel, but 1t had Dave Corcorar, brother of the Brain Truster, as vice-president of a Sterling sub- sidiary. And to be absolutely safe, 1t also retained John Cahill, ex-U. s. Attorney of New York and close friend of Corcoron's.
 Cahill was indefatigable at in- dieting Hollywood moguls who were forgetful about their in. come tax. And now he is equally indefatigable in defending Q big corporation from charges of com spring commercially with the NaziS.
 How much Sterling Products
 paid their New Deal attorneys is not known. But whatever 1t
 was, they earned 1t. Tommy the
 Cork came down to the Justice
 Department, badgered Thur.
 man ArnoId's subordinates, brought out the fact that he was
 being considered as the next S0-
 lIcitor General, shined up to his
 old friend Attorney General
 Riddle.
 Tn the past Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold has kicked over the traces like a balky mule whenever anyone ate tempted to interfere with his Gruct busting program. Several times he has threatened to resign, even insisted on indicting Bill Hutch- inson, head of the AFL Carpen. ters' Union, and other labor lead- CTS for violating the sherman Antitrust Act an indictment which got the White House very sore indeed.
 But this time Thurman was more docile. Maybe this was because Tommy the Cory Is a very close friend. Again, Earl l. Me- Clintock, vice president of Ster- ling Products, was Princeton 'l2, and an old friend of Thurman Arr holds Princeton Il.
 Anyway, Tommy got his
 clients off with . fine of $26,-
 900 and . press release which
 sounded like "be a good boy
 now and don't do 1t any Encre."
 NOTE - Homer Cummings was frequently criticized by Tom Cor coran for not being @ crusading New Deal Attorney General. But Cummings, now Washington lawyer, spurned a S1O,0OO retainer from General Aniline, which is controlled by the Nazi I. G. Far benindustrie, and is a partner with Sterling Products in owning the Winthrop Chemical company. also prosecuted by the Justice Depart ment. Cumming told the Nazi- controlled company they had no chance of forming a trust arrange ment to escape wartime seizure by an Alien Property Custodian. CAPITAL CHAFF
 Some of Thurman Arnold's Trust-Busting subordinates will soon hand in their resignations as a result of the new appeasement policy toward the Sherman Anti Trust Act Earl McCllntock executive of Sterling Products, was in the Alien Property Custodian's office during the last war when the U. s. A. seized valuable Ger man chemical patents. After the war, McClintock helped form a company which took over these patents - but went back to close cooperation with Germany {.
