WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt will take up Henry
Ford's failure to come in under tho
NRA at conference tonight at the
White House with General Hugh S.
Johnson, recovery administrator, it
was learned today.
What steps, if any, the admins
tration was contemplating, the
White House would not say.
In his first meeting with Johnson
in several weeks. the President was
scheduled to have placed before
him complete details of the situa-
ton which has developed by fall
ure of the automobile manufacturer
to accept the code for the automo-
tive industry.
Some have urged General john
son to make an example of Ford
and snap NRA's teeth on this prom
inent industrial figure who has
chosen to go it alone. The automo-
bile code is in effect and Ford has
not signed; therefore, under the law,
the President could draw up code
and impose it on Ford.
But sensing the danger of STIR
ring up sympathy for manufac-
turer whose high wages and short
hours have been a trademark in
industry for twenty years, admin
istration opinion here appears set
against any strong-arm action
which might be construed as perse-
cution in behalf of a technicality.
AS the situation stood today,
Johnson was resting on his state
ment that the next move was up to
Ford and that the government
would do nothing unless Ford vio-
lated provisions of the code.

nothing of Charley DAILY. Tex
Buckler'S fame is known from
his home State to the most re-
mote Army outpost in far away
Alaska, what with his ability to
run, punt, pass and put up a
crack defensive game.
Texas Jacks uncanny ability
to pass from a dead run adds
materially to Army's backfield
prowess. When he sets sail his
opponents do not know whether
to come up fast to stop a quick
line play or to remain back in
their defensive positions to
guard against a pass. A Sec
ond's hesitation in such a de-
fensive manoeuver has cost
many of Army'S opponents
dearly this year.
To match against such an
Army sensation, Rip Miller is
not entirely without an ace
when one takes into considera-
ton the likes of Buzz Borries,
who, while not so spectacular
a player as Buckler, is more
than an average rival.
Borries' forte is side-stepping
his way through an opposing
rushline and his ability to catch
forward passes adds to his
teams attack. If Buzz can free
himself just once Of the Army
