Our first real "date," however,

six months ago, or so.
My step-father. Marino Bello,

he contrived a threesome con-

He and Hal were old friends, by
the way.

of the red-letter days in my life

a man who would make a won

And that feeling of apprecia-

permitted Bias Hernandez to take
the town without firing a shot
and are now pursuing the rebels,
who number 100 men and who
are headed for Havana, 400 miles

Surrender Rejected
Bias Hernandez, army head

cial police force to restore order
and end strikes in the region of
Ciego De Avila, in Camaguey

But the rebel leader has many

adoption of a new constitution.

Officials declined to reveal the

it was positively asserted that
further investigation of the

The proposed merger Of the
United States Savings Bank into
the Hamilton system was the
means of disclosing the cleverly
concealed shortage, it was said.
and they were only disclosed when
it was found that many proofs
of claims which should have been
sent to depositors of the bank
before the merger was consum-
mated had not been received.
Unmailed proofs of claims were
continuing to turn up today, it
was reported, and the amount OF
the shortage may be increased to
a much larger sum.

A blunt warning, based
upon a scientific, economic
analysis, that the entire NRA
program will be defeated if a
policy of price fixing is
adopted was prepared today
for Hugh S. Johnson, admins
traitor, by experts Of the re-
search and planning division.
The aggressive attitude of the
economists who were brought into
the NRA movement to survey its
progress and analyze future trends
promised to bring the entire price,
fixing issue to a climax within the
next 10 days.
Retail Code in Issue
With price-fixing permitted
under the oil code, but not yet
fully exercised. and, with price
maintenance also provided in both
the lumber and coal codes, the
issue was raised with increasing
force in the present negotiations
for a retail sales code.
Although johnson has consist
emily declared he opposed general
price-fixing, If it can be avoided,
he has approved the inclusion of
provisions prohibiting sales below
cost or fair market value.
Under the proposed retail code,
which has divided retailers, econ
omistS and the NRA staff, it is
proposed to prohibit sales Of goods
at less than wholesale cost plus
10 per cent. Some exceptions are
provided.
Danger Seen in Plan
The Research and Planning
Division, which was designed to
give johnson the benefit of ex-
perts in the economic field. de-
clares in it's report that price,
fixing may destroy those who
propose it as we'll as the NRA.
The report holds:
The chief volume of business
in the country is done in the
retail field, where prosperity be-
gins and ends.
Reduced Sales Seen
If prices are fixed. or if code
provisions permit the frequent
upward fixing of prices while not
permitting downward adjustments
to meet diminution of purchas-
ing power, only decrease of sales
volume or indefinite initiation can
result, because:
First, if prices are fixed and
purchasing power lags, there
Is no way for the merchant to
save himself, since he would
have to continue to hold sur
plus stocks;
Second, in such a case, the
Government could resort to
progressive currency initiation,
which would have the effect of
temporarily raising purchasing
power but would cause a con-
tinued increase in prices.
In either case, the economists
hold, there is danger that pur-
chasing power will lag. This, in
turn, would create more unem-
ployment at a time when the
NRA is seeking to put millions
back to work and increasing their
purchasing power.

to criticize.
Appointed to the task after charges
of professionalism had been printed by

tee, in its formal report to Dr. Nicholas

investigation had revealed no evidence
Of favoritism toward athletes nor of
recruiting and subsidiZing.
AS matter of fact. the investigating
body recommended that greater facili-
ties for athletic participation be pro-
vided.
I'VE find that the facilities at Co.
lumbia for games, play and outdoor
sports are meager," the report said
THE facilities for healthful outdoor
exercise are not only insufficient for
the entire university body, but are in
adequate for the undergraduate body
of 1900 students in Columbia College"
The committee recommended more
practice fields, new gymnasium, de-
velopment of junior varsity and 150-
pound foot ball teams, appointment of
coaches by the trustees and handling
of athletic funds by the university
treasurer and the cutting down of
schedules and training hours to the
minimum required for safe play.
