author and retiring member Of
the NRA Advisory Board, said
today.
At the same time. Henry I.

SWope said:
"There is nothing in my pro-

self-discipIine without govern

the organization of labor paraI-
lei with the organization Of

Hartman said:
Three months ago the NRA
was 100 per cent acceptable to
business interests throughout
the United States. Two months
ago it dropped to 80, and now
it Is down to about so per
cent.
"RADICALLY WRONG"
There is something radically
wrong there. The business and
industrial interests of the ma
ton are more than anxious to
cooperate. They are willing to
accept codes, but feel they
should have some measure of
self-gOvernment within their
own establishments.
I'VE are proposing to Presi-

Two years ago Maryland inaugurated
a policy of staging basket ball games
and boxing meets the same night, one
