Submitted to an Interview and Posed for Picture He Talked About Banks But Was Silent on
 High Salaries

New York, Oct 20.-(UP)- Upon arrival on the Berengaria J. F. Morgan to-day shattered a jour. nalistic legend when he submitted to an interview and told news papermen he thought banks should obey the laws if they could find out what the laws meant.
 Asked whether he thought secur. ity affiliates should be divorced from big banks, MT Morgan said:
 "I think 1t is the business of the banks to obey the law but don't know yet what that means. When l went away three months ago l said then that didn't know what the new laws meant and we should first find out and then do what we are supposed to do."
 DO you believe the banking law will have to be rewritten?"
 "If 1t makes banking impossible, then it's hardly worth while is it."
 He was asked if he had heard that the government was seeking information from leading business regarding their annual income. Ht appeared surprised. v "Weli, I'll not discuss that" ht said. T, don't know anything about. it." &tE
 A photographer wormed his way in.
 "our city editors go home al night and dream about something and we have to go out and do It." he pleaded. =,
 "Is that all a city editor has to do 2" Morgan countered.
 "You know Mir Morgan, back in 1929, when jobs were plentiful, If the boss got tough we could walk out and get another job. Times are very hard now. ...."
 Morgan posed and cracked an- other precedent.
 Morgan was abroad three months grouse shooting.

 There were indications to-day that, while Hitler had no definite plans, he did not favor on indefin- ite continuance of the practice of interning political opponents in concentration camps. It was believ-a ed possible there would be a grad

Word that the United States was on the verge of negotiations lock- ing to recognition of the Soviets spread rapidly through Moscow, particularly through the American colony, which was vitally con- cerned.
 The exact status of the negotia- tions was not officially announced. however.
 Reports of a rapproachment be- tween the two natoins, looking to resumption of normal trade rela- tionships. which would be impos- sible without diplomatic represen- tation on both sides, have been widespread since the election of President Roosevelt.
 The effect of Russia's import trade, and the potentialities of es- tablishing a large market in the Soviet for American goods-parti- cularly in heavy machinery, ag- ricultural tools, electrical tools, electrical supplies, and some raw materials--is regarded as one of the larger considerations influ- encing recognition.

INDUSTRY CONTROL
AIMS EXPLAINED
Miss Perkins Says Bill Would
Coordinate Production
and Purchasing Power.
4y the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press.
As described by Secretary Frances
Perkins, the huge public works ks-industrial
regulation bill laid before Congress by
President Roosevelt is designed to bring
purchasing power into step with our
mass production"
This would be accomplished, on one
side, by putting money into the hands
of the unemployed through the $780,
100000 construction program, and, on
the other, by regulating industry so that
stabilized production would be kept
In tune with the movement upward from
the depression.
The Secretary pointed out that the
first weekly pay rolls paid to workers
out of jobs meant at least pair Of
shoes and three shirts sold and that
industry should Immediately feel the
effects.
Would Name Administrator.
As for industry itself, the new volun-
tary cooperative agreements which
would be permitted under the bill
would work somewhat along this line
An administrator would be appointed
by President Roosevelt with almost un-
limited powers t. supervise the agree
ments among the various trades and
industries designed to regulate working
hours, fix a minimum wage and stabilize
production.
The trade association. composed Of
members of the industry-coal, for in
stance-would draw up code of fair
competition" fixing the amount of coal
to be mined and sold and the minimum
price for which it would be sold. If ap
proved by the administrator, the agree
ment would be legal, with the antitrust
laws relaxed. However, the admins
traitor would first have to satisfy himself
that 1t imposed no inequitable restric-
tons on membership, and that the code
would not promote monopoly or dis
criminate against the small producer.
The agreement would provide for COL
lective bargaining by employees, protect
the right of worker seeking employ
ment to join or refrain from joining
labor organization and an agreement
by employers to comply with regulations
prescribed by the President or admin
istrator to govern minimum pay, hours
Of work and working conditions.
Can Eliminate Sweat Shop"
This power is sufficient, Secretary
Perkins said. to eliminate the sweat
shop" and prevent "cut-throat compe-
tition by the fly-by-night producer"
If the industry failed to agree on
code, the administrator, after hearings,
would be authorized to enforce a code
prescribed by him, and If necessary re-
quire all coal operators to obtain
license to operate
The administrator could demand all
information necessary from the COM
ponents of the industry and cancel any
code at any time he saw fit, after hear
ings.
Violation of the code agreed upon
would be punishable by $500 fine for
each offense. Should licensing be re-
sorted to. operation in interstate COM
merce without license would subject
the offender to $500 fine or six
months imprisonment, or both.
