Ford Seen Willing
To Compromise
International News Service

International News Service
Official word reached the NRA
today from the Department of
Commerce representative at De-
troit, A. j. Darnaud. that Henry
Ford is willing to sign the NRA
automobile code provided he is
exempted from showing his books.
It was accepted as offering
possible compromise between the
automobile magnate and Hugh S.
Johnson, recovery head.
Exemption Recommended
Barnaud followed his report
with recommendation that Ford
be granted this exemption in view
Of his undoubted willingness to
comply with the spirit of the pro-
gram.
Enough has been vouchsafed
from authentic sources as to
Ford's alternative plan to indi-
cate that his intentions are good,
officials said, though indi-
vidualistic.
General Johnson declined to
make any comment on the Sltua-
ton in the meanwhile, adopting
Ford's own attitude.
Deadline Tuesday
Friends of Ford pointed to the
possibilities in his plan if he
should be compelled to follow it
through. 1t would set wage
pace at Detroit that would keep
other companies sweating, and if
attempts were organized at boy
colt over the country, Ford, in his
own campaign, could draw COM
parsons that would be impressive.
Ford has until September 5 to
make some definite move. His
offer today is the first, and it is
conceded here that should this
apparent gesture Of peace meet
no response, his position in the
fight to follow would be
strengthened.

KELLEY WOMAN
TAKES STAND
ON TUESDAY
Defense Claims 1t Can Blast
'Love Flowers Charge Pro-
duced by the Prosecution
BY ERNESTINE BALL

SAN JOSE, Cal. Sept. 2 Il.
N.SO.-"The martyr complex is
sticking out all over David Lam
son now that the prosecution
has rested its case, and David
faces long weekend before he
. must come to court on Tuesday
to defend himself against the
charge that he murdered his
wife, Allene, in their Stanford
University campus home"
Thus spoke one of his college
associates who talked to Lamson
as he came out of the courtroom
yesterday, smiling and confident
of acquittal. But back Of that
smile, the martyr complex, accord
ing to this campus acquaintance.
A STRANGE MAN
"As I spoke to him a jailer
took Dave by the arm and told
him they would have to shove
along into Jail. Dave has shut
out of his own mind the fact
that the law found sufficient
reason to hold him for trial for
wife murder.
He resents the fact that he,
David LamsOn, is in constant
custody"
If David Lamson is innocent,
small wonder that he broods. But
some of his own friends wish
that he would brood over the fact
that his lovely young wife was
found dead in a bathtub, her
head crushed, her life blood
staining the water. He feels,
according to them, that he is a
martyr to indignity, a martyr to
the American law that allows
spectators in the courtroom.
A MURDER MYSTERY
"The one important thing in
this trial is to find out who
murdered Allene LamSOn."
So says Mrs. Carol Greene
Wilson, editor of the Stanford
Illustrated Monthly, one of the
publications of the Stanford
Press of which David Lamson
was an executive. Allene Lamson
had once been an assistant editor
Of the publication.
"Wait until we have our day
In court"
That is the comment of DR..
Edwin o. Heinrich, Berkeley
criminologist, who has worked
out the accident theory for the
defense and is prepared to show
either in courtroom, or in the
tiny bathroom of the Lamson
home on the Stanford campus,
how Allene hit her head on a
washbasin.
Letters Destroyed
On Tuesday when the trial is
resumed Sara Kelley, the "other
woman" in the case, will be called
by the defense. 1t was reliably
learned that Sara Kelley will not
produce thoae nice, friendly let
ters that she said she had from
Allene Lamson.
Mrs. Kelley arrived in San
Jose yesterday waiting to be
called as a witness for the de-
fense. She said that she had
1orn up the letter, or letters, and
added she always destroys letters.
Mrs. Kelley will be followed on
the stand by a Miss Carol Ray,
who will testify that she shared
Mrs. Kelley's apartment in Sac
ramento, during the time that
David Lamson made frequent
visits to Sacramento. Miss Ray
is expected to wipe out the pic
ture of all the implications by
prosecution witnesses of their
impressions of David Lamson and
Sara Kelley.

NRA STAFF PAY.
CUT;NEW JOBS
At AN END
Economy Pressure Renewed
As Many Changes Loom;
Code Work Nears Finish

A job moratorium is in effect
today at the NRA, the latest as.
pect of drastic economy program
that has finally hit the organiza.
ton.
For the present, at least, it is
intended not to hire any more
help there. 1t is hardly expected,
however, that this ambition will
long be attained.
Economies Ordered
Moreover, Brig. Gen. Hugh S.
johnson has warned the NRA ex.
ecutiVeS, in line with a prior sug-
gestion by Postmaster General
James A. Farley, not to use tele,
grams or long-distance telephone
calls unless the public interest
would suffer otherwise. Even the
air mails are to be eschewed un-
less actual economy is promoted
by their use.
Further, although not much
has been said about it, there have
been S n arp salary reductions
throughout the organization. This
has been styled a "readjustment"
of salaries, but it has not been
on the basis of a general percent
age cut, or indeed on any basis
capable of ready definition, it Is
said. There is feeling in the
NRA that the salary cuts were
made rather by the hit or miss
method.
The Gates Resignation
The row precipitated by the res
lgnation of Dudley Gates is still
being minimized by NRA officials
generally, but it is clear enough
that there are certain NRA ex-
ecutiveS who are quite out of SYM
pathy with the labor program
initiated under the act.
John Hancok, who was loaned
by Lehman Brothers to the NRA
and who terminates his service
there today, is understood to have
shared the views of Gates to some
extent.
Every effort will be made. un.
doubtedly to avoid a break on
the labor-capital issue, and indi.
cations are that that will be posi-.
BILE.
Changes Are Near
However, the passing of the
code deadline and the an.
nounced policy of General John.
son to cut down his organization
as rapidly as conditions permit
were expected to bring changes
in the fairly near future.
officials closely in touch with
NRA work are confident that
there will be continuous modifica.
tion and rewriting Of codes, and
that, as result, it will not be pos.
Sible to reduce the staff as dras'
tically as General johnson origi.
nally planned.
However, as soon as the code
hearings are out of the way. the
deputy administrators and their
assistants, large array in them.
selves, will be out of jobs so far
as the NRA is concerned.
Hints of Promise
The Blue Eagle division has also
practically completed its task and
the Presidents unemployment
agreement policy board probably
will not be needed much linger.
On the other hand. the public re-
lations and legal divisions, though
they may perhaps be reduced, will
undoubtedly remain active as long
as NRA endures.
Oter units that probably will
bulk larger in the future than at
present are the research and plan.
ming organization, headed by DR..
Alex Sachs, and the consumers
organization. The control divi-
sion and code analysis division
seems set for a fairly long period.

Planned Distribution

Speaking of the present economic rev. olution in this country, if so peaceful process deserves that term, Haywood Broun says: ''At the very least, America has been nicked with the consciousness that salva- ton lies in planned production. We are beginning to face the fact that Tabor saving devices must be exactly that, and not mediums with which to increase the number of the unemployed"
 Quite so. But that is only half the battle. There is not much consciousness of the other half - the quest for salvation also in planned distribution. The two naturally hang together. And an effort is really being made at present to correct the evils of faulty distribution of goods by raising wages and enabling people to buy more. But we still stand at the production end of the line and figure things out from that view point.
 Maybe after little we shall take up position at the other end figuring out more definitely what things people need, and other things they would use if they could have them, and then grow and manufae- ture things definitely for the known de- mand. There is an important difference here. Production in the past has been one sided. We produced simply to sell; and when we produced too much, we put on extra sales pressure to force goods onto con. sumers, for cash or credit. regardless of con- sequences. Producers profits were the on- ly consideration.
 When we put the consumer first, produe- ing to satisfy markers instead of forcing them, cheapening the costs of distribution and thereby lowering prices and enlarging the markets, we may keep the system going more easily and continuously. With such measured and unforeed flow of goods from farm or factory to consumers, at smaller unit profit, producers themselves should get along better than they have in the past with their alternate feasts and famines.

RACOON PROTECTION

Connecticut, long committed to
 (New Haven Journal Courier)
 protection of fish and birds, has led the way, we learn, in protection of raccoons. Hunters of these nocturnal wanderers long agitated for similar aid from the State Fish and Game commission. Under Commissioner Arthur Clark's lead- ership an ingenious plan has been evolved during the past winter. State parks are game sanctuaries. 'Coons will be liberated therein to breed naturally and stock hunting grounds by expected overflow. Bi- ology students will know that such overflow should be prolific.
 But the coon hunters commit tee, including Leon F. Whitney, well-known local geneticist. is not content with mere multiplication. They plan to improve quality as well as quantity. Laymen must accept the dictum that the darker the coon the greater his value. State game farm seed stock will be bred for blachness. When the state pets have become totally dark, oAly such will be liberated. This project will not only "'pro- duce much more beautiful ani- mals." but will also ''raise the value of wild raccoons considerably" De- tails of beauty and value may be obtained from Mir whitney or his fellow enthusiests. Those who ap- preciate the practice of nurturing wild life that 1t may provide more sport in the killing may be expect- ed to understand ali subtIeties of shading. all clements of pursuit and conquest. Those who do not may at least appreciate the fact that Connecticut has again taken the lead in . state project.

Prohibition. believes that if the ban is lifted on the importation of foreign whisksys a considerable portion of our own bonded stock may be spread over the next few years during which it is expected consumption will be high and supplies low. There are a number of countries awaiting just some such action. A person would be of two minds in case like this. We sort of want to see the native distilleries get as much bus iness as possible. but they can't be ex- peeted to beat nature by hurrying up the four-years aging process. If necessary. though, we'd let down the bars and allow various liquor producing nations to ship in certain amounts under the prevailing duties. taxes, etc. Certainly if we are limited to the supplies now on hand in bonded ware houses there won't be as much revenue ac- eruing to Uncle Sam as has been anticipated.

Business Idealism

One of the eountry's leading merchants, speaking to fellow merchants of the new era in American business. refers to its aim as commercial socialism," What he really means apparently. is social or social-mind- cd commerce. But whatever anyone wants to call it. he isn't afraid of the prospect he faces 'The old order of things. the laissez -faire attitude, is over." he says. "and we might as well adjust ourselves to it whether we like it or not. If you don't believe in it. l say, believe in it anyway You'll have to view it in this spirit-were going to have good busness
 ''I think we're on the threshold of one of the greatest movements any nation ever undertook. Some day we'll wonder that we were such beasts as to keep looking out of the corner of our eye to see how we could get the best of the other fellow" The underlying idea here seems to be that business should follow the Golden Rule. It is not new idea. but seldo mhas busi- ness man avowed it frankly. To-day one finds increasingly an attitude which might be expressed like this: Tt may be doubt full whether we can do business by the Golden Rule; but it's still more doubtful whether we can keep on doing business without it.

IDLE FISH
(New York Herald. .Tribune)


 It is tantaiizing news for anglers that the State Conservation De- partment has in the hatcherics some 200. .o0 1000 fish only too well conserved. Fish management Is a science, but in this case 1t is c iit- tie out of fix. Drought has played the mischief witht he plans of the fish, providing experts. At the opening of the season they held off from releasing the whole supply because of 0 reduced demand from private clubs whose funds were de. pleted. Now many of the streams have gone so low that planting in them Is too late for this season. Meanwhile the fish are "cating their heads off" in the hatcheries, to the embarrassment of the state exchequer and the deprivation Of sport.
 The answer to this problem of overproduction, the first of its kind in New York, seems to be the dis tribution of the fish in the best waters available, in spite of the long drought, whether or not tho environment is exactly suited to this or that species. That is the sensible idea of the Conservation Department. There Is a persistent notion that trout are for streams and not for lakes, but 1t Is probably a mistaken one. Maine lakes. for example, furnish excellent trout fishing. The coddling of millions of game fish that ought to be play ing the game will never suit an angler and conservationist so well cersed in the pleasures of rod and reel as Commissioner Lithgow Os- borne.
