By the Associated Press.
National Recovery Administration of
ficials moved today to speed disposition
of several major codes, including three
taken over from the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, and hope was
expressed they would be ready to trans
nit to the President by Monday.
Codes covering food manufacturers,
wholesalers and retailers, which have
been at the farm offices for the last
two months, we're gone over yesterday
by N. r. A. officials.
The graphic arts code, covering an
extended field of printing and publish
ing. was in for final conferences, and
so was the pact of the newspaper pub
fishers.
On one important code. however.
stalemate developed yesterday.
Long conferences between employees
and labor spokesmen for the construc-
tion industry were suspended without
agreement and with the prospect that
Hugh S. johnson would have to step
in and push through compromise.
Labor leaders pronounced the revised
draft put before them by N. r. A. OF
ficials worse than the original sub.
mitted by the industry.
Seven more codes were signed by
President oosevelt-furniture manu-
featuring, auto storage and parking.
pyrothechnic (firecracker) manufac.
turing, excelsior products. asphalt and
mastic tile manufacturing. papermak-
ing-machine builders and machined
waste manufacturing.
Surrender Eagles
The disciplinary arm of the N. r. A.
also functioned, ordering eight small
establishments scattered from Massa-
chusetts to Texas to surrender biue
eagles for alleged violations.
johnson, back from New York, went
Immediately to the White House for
conference with Will Hays and other
motion picture personages who pro-
tested against some Of the supervision
of their affairs imposed by the Govern
ment. Indications were they would
not win their demands.
Accompanying johnson was Deputy
Administrator Sol A. RoSenblatt, who
drew up the film code. With Hays
were George Schaefer, vice president
of Paramount Pictures Corporation,
and ]. Robert Rubin, vice president OF
Metro-G -Goldwyn-Mayer.
The Hays organization opposes that
part of the executive order which re-
served to the administration the power
of veto on actions Of the film code au.
thority and to the President the power
to replace members Of the code
authority.
Strict Film Code.
Their contention is that the reserva-
tions deprived the industry of the self
government under the code which they
had expected and tended to take all
power from the code authority. The
producers have indicated they believed
the motion picture industry did not
deserve to be singled out Tor frmer
supervision than other industries under
N. r. A,
After the conference Hays and his
committee declined to comment on
what was said, but johnson said the
discussion centered about that sectlon
of the executive order.
johnson indicated that there was
little chance for an immediate modin-
cation of the executive order.
