HOOVER PLAN PRESENTED
FOR TRADE COMMISSION

in Dealing With Associations
Price Activities, His Advice.

Secretary of Commerce Hoover yes
terday advocated reconsideration by
Congress of the powers of the Fed
eral Trade Commission. to give the
commission a more constructive func-
ton in determining the proper scope
Of "open price" associations activi-
ties in the light of the antitrust
laws.
Relation of trade associations and
the anti-trust laws have been dis
cussed at great length in the ad-
ministration. Mr.. Hoover said. BY per-
mitting the commission, subject TO
review by the Attorney General. to
pass on the practices of the associa-
tions as affecting prices. he main
tanned. the uncertainty 80 destruc-
tive of business could be removed.
Attorney General Daugherty ad-
vanced a similar view, declaring that
the associations might submit their
plans of operation to a commission
" ~hich would decide whether the pub
lie interest would be injured by their
plans for collecting and disseminat-
ing trade information.
Both Mr.. Daugherty and Mr.. Hoover
declared they were in complete ac-
cord on the general policy of finding
the legal limits of trade associations
activity without disturbing the rights
Of these bodies. Both said the great
majority of trade associations were
not responsible for price fixing.

That's what they called 1t at the

telling US that we weren't being

reward for services well rendered.
Not q soul had offered me a job.
And, moreover some twenty-five or
thirty persons had refused to give
me one when approached. They had
turned fne down cold, as 1t were.
Three weeks had passed since I
was "demobiIized." and didn't seem
any nearer job than I was on the

ter. For when had been fired from

and say I'm ready to go to work.
But I'd been bitterly disappointed

At first I'd started out bravely
enough. Every morning Grace and
/ would get the Post and the Herald.
and we'd look through the want ad
columns. And I'd clip those that
sounded at all possible and paste
them on q piece of paper. And I'd
start out.
At night I'd come home tired and
disgusted.
After dinner we'd get the Star and
The Times and we'd do some more
clipping. And in the morning I'd
put those clippings with the ones !

I'd sally forth again.

Everything hadn't been peaches

That IL requires a considerable
measure OF daring and confidence
for a literary critic to write a book
or dramatic critic play, is a
matter beyond dispute, yet Mr..
Overton, who, until about a year
ago acted in the first named capa-
city on the staff of the New York
Sun, has done this very thing And
that he has been successful in this
and gives promise of winning a
high place in American letters,
seems forecast.
"world without End" Is a ro-
nance OF color and fragrance in
which modern destinies are swayed
in the long reaching influence Of
the past. To Martin L'Hommedieu.
whose life has been warned into
narrow channels OF Calvinistic re-
preston and gloom through an
early mistake, the exquisite beauty
OF. his daughter. Helen. was a con-
slant irritation. ....
The mistake which marred his
life clouds Helen's also. but her
unbroken spirit wins through TO
the fulfillment OF a fascinating ro-
nance.
The author has adopted a novel
and clever expedient. closely akin
to what Ia technically known as
"the cutback" In the world OF the
cinema, as a means of bridging time
Iapses and rendering detailed de-
scriptions unnecessary. This in IT.
self lends a certain charm to his
narration.
