tician for the League for the Larger
Life, have led to the resignation Of the
56-year-0ld nudist believer, It developed
today.
While making known that DR.. Caporn
was no longer afflliated with the league,
Guy H. Gerald, chairman Of a COM
mittee appointed to investigate reports
Of nude sun bathing, said today no
formal letter Of resignation had been
turned in by her. She left the Chesa-
peake Bay camp of the organization
abruptly Saturday, shortly after the
arrival from Washington Of the camp
director. Milton Trenham.
1t was Mr.. Trenhams first visit to
the camp since publication last Monday
of an interview with DR.. Caporn In
which she indorsed nudism and pre-
dicted it was destined to sweep America
just as 1t has taken hold in certain
parts Of Europe.
The story created q round Of protest
among league members, resulting in the
calling Of q special meeting Of the board
Friday night, attended by Mr.. Tren-
ham, Mr.. Gerald and other members
A special committee was named at this
session to decide what steps should be
taken to correct the impression created
that the league favored nudism.

which is an organization dedicated II
healthful living practiced nudism ir
any manner, shape or form was made

counsel of the recovery administration,
had Lamont recalled for questioning
on the production and price control
feature Of the steel code.
Where in the code or otherwise" I"
asked Rchberg, "is there protection for
the consumer against possible oppressive
use of the powers here proposed for
your board of directors"
Lamont, after first saying he would
like time to answer, finally replied it
was the intention of the industry to
have each firm carry on its business
as in the past, making its own prices
just as 1t has been, with no attempt
to set up common management"
Richberg, however, pressed further
to establish whether under the codes
terms the directors of the Steel Insti-
tute would themselves issue price sched-
ules for steel products If they decided
that lists submitted by individual firms
were not fair.
Findings Merely Advisory"
Lamont said 1t was the understand
ing that the price findings of the in
stitute would be merely advisory. How
ever, he said he would answer more
fully after exploring the implications"
of the provision.
Have you considered" asked Rich
berg, "the desirability Of having pub
lie or consumer representation on that
board?"
mo" replied. Lamont. 'it didn't
seem to us to be necessary. The steel
industry does not sell directly to the
public"
Richberg also inquired whether the
codes prohibition Of new steel plant
construction might not discriminate
against some by preventing replace
ment Of obsolete equipment. He asked
whether there was any great decrease
of efficiency at this time.
II think. there's a pretty fair Level
of efficiency" replied Lamont. "The
plants have been In operation many
years. They have all lived, the small
with the large. In time they all arrive
at about the same level Of efficiency
He said he doubted also that ma
terially lower costs were possible
through replacing old equipment. -

tirement from the ring Is obligatory.
The whole conference appears to have
been on a similar unelevating plan.
Wish They Had Stayed Home.
Most OF the returning delegates and
near delegates confess privately that
they wish they had remained In WASH
ington.
That makes it unanimous.
Some near insiders hape the idea
that the State Department is not big
enough to hold both Moley and Hull
hereafter. Those pho should kno1O
the Presidents mind do not agree.
They phisper that Mr. Roosevelt did
not erpect the tUo to iDork together.
Hull is an internationalist;; Moley
nationalist. What Mr.. Roosevelt
,Canted from them is a balance be-
tUeen these t,DO rie1Cs, and not per-
sonal harmony.

May Send Group to Moscow.
Mr. Roosevelt has recently turned his
mind to that topic Prof. Moley Is
handling it for him. Moley also will
handle the ticklish war debt question
later.
The question Of personnel for such a
mission was up before Mr.. Roosevelt
left last Friday. Several men were con-
suited. An announcement may be made
shortly.
You can drop Senator Couzens OF
your list of possible Treasury Secre-
tarieS.
Those close to him say he ,oill re-
siSt the temptation il it is offered.
He ,could like to get into the Treas

Reuenue Bureau He has been try
ing to do it from the outside for
years. He Uould retire happy II he
could make the big tello,us pay more
However, it would mean abandonment
of his Republican afiiliations. That IS
too high price to pay, considering the

rather that they live differently and on
O lower standard.
TEN cannot be based on q capitalize
ton of these lower living costs. A way
must be found Of gradually raising the
living standards Of the colored laborers
and increased wages that will not un-
fairly compete with the wages Of the
white laborers is essential to achieving
this end"
Turning to child labor, Miss Perkins
said that probable oversight" had
left wide loophole in the clause for
evasion Of the purpose Of keeping
juveniles out of mills
"As 1t Is written, 1t provides that no
member Of the code shall knowingly
employ any person in the industry
under Is years." she said.
Says Word Bars Enforcement.
TT has been the experience Of all
the enforcement of child labor laws
that the word knowingly makes 1t al
most impossible to enforce any child
labor law.
1T has been necessary, therefore, to
change the laws to read that no child
under the prescribed age shall be per-
mitted or suffered to work in the place
Of employment Of the employers This
places the responsibility directly on the
management and there can be
no quibbling about whether 1t was
done knowingly or not"
Referring to the provision In the code
against one concern obtaining business
secrets OF another without the latter's
consent. she said that "a similar pro-
vision against labor espionage Is per-
haps as important"
IF It is necessary to include in the
code a prohibition against business spy
ing, it is no less necessary that a similar
prohibition shall be written into the
code against labor spying" she said.
Sources Of Major Complaint.
Espionage, overspreading the long
day, and seven-day week. and irregu-
larity OF hours and Of employment are
the sources Of the major complaints
that have come to me regarding work
ing conditions IN the iron and steel
| industry These are the unfair
practices that working people are con-
cerned with and the labor provisions OF
a code Of fair competition should assure
them that both the management OF the
industry and the Government, are in
tent upon eliminating these sources OF
complaint, so far as is possible.
"Only when they are thus assured
can we hope for a wholehearted CO.
operation OF labor with management
and the Government in working to build
new prosperity for the industry on
permanent basis OF friendly relations

The London newspapers treated him
as fifth-rate actor In the international
drama. They gave all the limelight to
Moley. In addition Moley appears to
have sent q wireless message to the
American embassy at London which
was subject to misinterpretations.
Some interpreted the message as sug-
gesting that the embassy keep an eye
on the American delegates.
There Was also the inner trouble
about Moley's proposed currency
agreement Hull declined to sign it
until he heard from Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t is 1oell he did. Mr.. Roosevelt
sided lUith Hull.
These things led to mutual embar-
easements which all parties now agree
are just as well forgotten.
Actually they were not much more
important than other squabbles back

The hottest one was between EX-Gov.
Cox and Senator Couzens. 1t seems
