NEW YORK, September 4-The ad
venture of Peter Christopholis. the or
phan was understood to have come to
an end
Only few weeks ago the future ap-
peared bright and untroubled for the
l4-year-old lad from Father Flanagan's
Orphanage at Omaha. He was offered
what all orphans yearn for most-a
home. with parents, sister and all
the things that go to make lads life
pleasant
Jean Stengs, wealthy Paterson, N. j..
dyer. saw Peters picture in a news
paper and remarked the striking resem-
blance Peter bore to son of the Stengs
who had drowned a year ago. The
thought came to the Paterson man
that perhaps Peter could fill in part
the place of the son who had gone.
Surrounded by Luxury.
A trial adoption" r'"~ arranged.
Peter Christopholis came East from the
Omaha orphanage and was taken into
the Stengs family. There were the
motor cars. the boats. the gay days,
the luxurious surroundings.
Opportunity, seemingly. had knocked
at the door of the orphan boy, just as
is does sometimes in books.
The papers carried pictures of Peter
reveling in his new life. Much fuss was
made over hirn-much more fuss in

|FORD WILL IGNORE
| DEADL|NE ON CODE
Car Maker Gives Every Indi-

By the Associated Press. .,
BIG BAY, Mich. September A.
Whatever may be Henry Ford's plans
for compliance, or noncompliance with
the national automobile code, the motor
magnate apparently is not going to
let them interfere with the vacation
he and his wife are enjoying in their
Huron Mountain retreat, far from a
telephone or telegraph office.
With the deadline for acceptance Of
the code less than "a hours away, there
were no indications that Mr.. Ford
planned an early return to Detroit. In
fact, the best information available was
that he would remain in his l6-room
cabin until Friday or Saturday.
No Action Indicated.
Neither was there any indication that
he was taking steps to compose his
differences with promulgators and ad-
ministrators of the automotlve code ana
the national recovery act.
Those differences pivot about the pro-
visions for collective bargaining with
workers and the right of the board ao-
ministrating the code to inspect the
books of signatory companies. Ford OBJ
jects to letting competitors view the
inside workings of the close corpora
ton which he fathered and dominates
The information that Ford would not
return to Detroit until the last of the
week was in sharp contradiction to cur
rent reports that he was planning a
quick return trip today, either by Spe-
cial train or by plane.
Railroad officials denied that any
special train had been ordered, and
the plane rumor was given little
credence because of the known reluc-
tance of Mr.. Ford to travel by air.
Return to S. Day Seen.
1t was generally accepted that his
plans in connection with the N. r. A
movement called either for compliance
or for a vigorous counter offensive
possibly a return to the famous S5 a
day minimum wage which brought him
worldwide acclaim some years back
The minimum wage has since been re-
duced to 81 for an eight-hour day.
Already he has announced mini
mum wage of so cents an hour, eight
compared that scale with the 35-hour-
week and the 35-cents- -an-hour mini
mum prescribed by the code for the
Detroit area.
He also misunderstanding the day
when Detroit was celebrating re-em-
ployment attributed to the N. R. A
that between 5000 and 1000 former
employees are being called back to his
Detroit plants The present employment
figure in Ford plants was estimated at
42,C00.

WALLACE PLEADS
FOR NEW OUTLOOK
Says Roosevelt Administra-
ton Is Building New So
ciaI Machinery.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HERSHEY, Pa, September 4.-Henry
A. Wallace, United States Secretary Of
Agriculture, yesterday appealed to the
Nation to change from its forefathers'
spirit of rugged individualism" to one
OF genuine concern for your neighbor."
Speaking at the dedication of the
$3,000,0 900 community center of Her
shey, he asserted the new social ma
chinery" being built under President
RooSevelt's economic program demands
the change to broad national outlook.
If we cannot attain this broader
view" he said, "our material wealth
will only intensity the inevitable crash"
I'VE are building a social machinery
in Washington" he continued, "and I
am convinced that social machinery
will fail unless there is going along
with it a definite change in the human
heart.
Federal Action Scored.
"One of the most disturbing things
in Washington today is to see how the
so-called radicals approach things in
mean, brittle manner. Equally disturb
ing has been the cow-like attitude of
those who think they have divine
right to get more than a fair share Of
the national income"
Asserting I'VE at Washington are
going to make mistakes" Secretary
Wallace said the present plan Of the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton is not ideal.
The Agriculture Secretary said "the
shifting of the United States from
debtor to a creditor nation" had been
the principal factor in unsettling the
agriculture and general economic con-
ditions of the country.
Predicts Leisure Era.
Under the new spirit of nationalism.
Secretary Wallace said he hopes to see
the time when I'VE stop sweating our
farm labor, even as We have stopped
sweating our industrial labor" With
the perfection of the new social ma
chinery," he added, will be developed
a general knowledge of the art Of "en-
joying leisure"
The dedication was part Of four-day
celebration of the thirtieth anniversary
of the founding of the town by Milton
S. Hershey.
The Secretary rather thinks" DR..
Clyde L. King will continue as Federal
milk administrator.
"Of course, I don't know how long"
he said.
The Secretary's comment was made
on questions regarding the continuation
of Dr. King in the face of repeated de-
mands by milk producers that the ad-
ministrator resign.

OIL COMMITTEE
O.K'S|CKES STAND
Agree Decision to Try to Con.
troll Production Is
Wise.
BY the Associated Press.


Secretary Ickes' decision to try to
control production of oil before at
tempting to fix prices under the indus
try's code is the wise thing to do"
in the opinion of leaders of the faction
favoring Federal price regulation
Several members of the petroleum
trades Planning and Co-ordinating
Committee. administrative agency with
1ckeS in supervising the $4,000. 900 900
industry in the recovery campaign, ap-
proved his verdict yesterday.
We must make haste a little bit
slowly and not make any mistakes"
several agreed. "and we must wait and
see what the various States do with
respect to the Federal ALLEGATION of
production"
Committee members discounted re-
ports of sharp wrangling in the groups
sessions. and all of them who could be
reached said privately they felt the
whole industry would give fullest sup
port to the administrations program.
Decline Formal Comment.
Because committee members have
agreed that any statement of their
position should be made public through
Secretary Ickes, they declined formal
comment, but one of the most out
spoken advocates of full-price regula-
ton. said:
The Secretarys course was the only
normal and natural thing to do The
first major step is the ALLEGATION and
control OF production. The second nat
ural step will be price regulation if
1t becomes necessary in the opinion
of the administration"
In announcing the code in effect
without any price control, Ickes said
that no door was closed" by his de-
cision. He was expected to talk over
fully with President Roosevelt this
vital point of administration principle
and policy this week.
AS allocated by the administration,
the national oil production daily after
7 am. Friday will be 2,409, 700 barrels.
a decrease of around 35O,OoO barrels
as compared with present output, which
last week averaged about 2,738,000.
Texas Gets Largest Quota.
Texas received the largest single al
lotment, 975.200 barrels under Ickes
order: $4,000 went to Oklahoma, and
100000 to California. Kansas was
allotted 11l,0O0 barrels but because of
a typographical error in copying the
formal order, the State was credited
with 10000.
The production ALLEGATION, was
slightly higher than had been expected
in oil circles, but the increase was at
tributed to the prohibition against
Withdrawals from the storage for the
time being. The code allows. subject to
administrative approval a daily with
draWal from the country's stock as
whole, of 100000 barrels. but this pro-
vision was voided by Ickes' order.
Members of the committee will meet
again Wednesday to continue its study
of price, production, distribution,
marketing and other problems for
recommendations to Ickes.

First, the Ford company does not

can offer code of its own. so long as
tne proposal is in conformity with the

Suppose Henry Ford. therefore navs
tne minimum WageS-he is paying bet
ter than that now - and makes his
hours OF work conform to what is speci-
nea IN the code and he complies in
spirit With the requirements as to hours
ana wages, could he be punished?
Public Would Be Judge.

HARTMAN STAND
W.|DENS n. R. A. RIFT
U. S. Chamber of Commerce
Head SquareIy Opposed to
Labor on Open Shop.
By the Associated Press


A demand from Henry I. Hartman,
president of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, for recognition of
the open shop in industry served
further today to broaden the breach
between labor and capital over the con-
struction to be placed upon the pro-
visions of the national recovery act.
Hartman. a member CT the National
Recovery Administrations Industrial
Advisory Board, which is composed of
nationally-known business men, aligned
himself squarely against the stand taken
by the Labor Advisory Board and the
American Federation of Labcr
In a letter to all members of the
chamber Hartman urged inclusion in
all codes of language similar to that
placed in the automobile industry's
charter asserting an intention to hire,
discharge or advance employees en- a
basis of merit without regard to union
or non-union aftiliation.
Approved by President.
This provision was approved in the
auto code by President Roosevelt over
the protest of the Labor Advisory
Board. SpOkosmen for labor have
stated absolute opposition to its inclu-
sion in ether codes. but at least dozen
industries are known to be prepared to
ask for it.
Hartman said collective bargaining
under any manner chosen by employees
was their right, but that this did not
mean closed shop for employees not
members Ct unions. Any move by the
Labor Advisory Committee to force the
closed shop" upon all industry would
be inconsistent, he said
Such move, he added. would be
contrary to the statement of the ad-
ministrator of industrial recovery, who
has emphatically declared that it is
not function of the Recovery Admin
lstration to favor either unionization
or the real open ship
The recovery act," Hartman wrote,
not only does not attempt to require
employees to exercise a right of collective
bargaining. but it does not specify in
any degree the extent or the basis for
collective bargaining if the right is
used. There is nothing in the
recovery act suggesting that collective
bargaining as already practiced should
be discontinued.
Against Discrimination.
Hartman asserted it was not the
function of the recovery act to enthrone
| any national labor organization or to
dissolve any local organization The
chamber, he added. has always used
the term open shop" as meaning a
policy of employment without discrimi-
| nation against or in favor of men on
account of their membership or non
membership in labor organizations.
Under the law, the chamber head
said, employees may choose whether they
will bargain individually with their
employees whether they will bargain col
lectively through trade unions, or
whether they will bargain collectively
through company unions.
