.1,b0,0OO new Jobs
LIKELY WITH CODE
Figures for Blanket Action
Believed Conservative by
StatiStician.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 15-Adoption OF
blanket code for minimum hours of
labor in industry, as proposed by Ad-
ministrator Hugh S. johnson under the
national recovery act, would swell the
American labor market by nearly 1,750,-
900 new jobs, the National Industrial
Conference Board estimated today.
BaSing its findings on May employ
ment indexes, the board estimated that
10000 more workers would be required
In manufacturing with a 35-hour week
and another 100000 in the non-manu-
featuring fields of mining, trade and
utilities under 40-hour week.
These figures are "conservatively es-
timated," said DR.. Roland P. Falkner,
chief statistician. pointing out that
maintenance of the employment trend
through June would add about 10 per
cent to May averages.
In his glass-inclosed cubicle, Dr.
Falkner made few preliminary waves
with black briar pipe, turned his back
on the window through which waited
the roar Of Park avenue traffic, and ex-
planned the situation.
Foresees 13 Per Cent Gain.
If such general code is adopted, u
ne said, "and industry maintained at
relative speed, employment would be
increased about 13 per cent over pres
ent levels to a point about 10 per cent
Of the 1929 level.
our figure for average weekly work
Ing hours in manufacturing show an
average increase of about 2 hours q
week from the February average of
35.4 hours.
Throughout the entire depression.
manufacturing and mining have been
more responsive in the matter of hours
to business conditions than have util-
tiles and trade. The hours of non
manufacturing industry, particularly in
the wholesale and retail trade, are ira
ditionally longer.
/. There is not much flux in the trades
which constitute about three-fourths OF
the non-manufacturing group, with
utilities and mining about equally divid
ed in the remaining one-fourth.
$50 If there has been a revival OF
business activity in May and June as
there was in April, it would tend to
boost the average hours in manufactur-
ing and mining. but not so much in
utilities and trade.
Cites April Average.
"By reason of the probable increase
in hours, then, I think the estimated
number of new jobs for manufacture
ing-720, ,000-is conservative. BY the
same token, it Is more nearly exact fol
the non-manufacturing group"
The April weekly hour averages ir
the wholesale trade appeared to be
about 46 as against an average Of A
hours week in the retail trade and
about AZ in utilities.
The difference between a uniform 40
hour week and the present weekly
averages, multiplied by the number Of
workers engaged in the non-manufac-
turing fields, gave the estimated num-
ber of new jobs available.
Similarly, the difference between the
present speculative index Of about 38-4C
for manufacturing industries and the
uniform 35-hnur week, multiplied by
the workers engaged in manufacturing
gave jobs available in that field.

Atlantic Planes
Reported Flying
Into Good Weather
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 15.-Wiley Post,
bound around the world for second
time. was racing across the Atlantic
tonight with two Lithuanian flyers who
hoped off at dawn for their native
land without governmental sanction.
Post, confident of shatte-ing the
world record of days Is hours
and 81 minutes, which he and Harold
Gatty set two Summers ago, left Floyd
Bennett Field in his purple and white
monoplane, Winnie Mae OF Oklahoma,
at 4:10 am, Eastern standard time.
A plane believed to be that of the
stocky Oklahoma City aviator was re-
ported at Ito pm. heading out over
the Atlantic from Torbay, Newfound-
land. He is due in Berlin, his first
scheduled stop, between am. and
noon tomorrow
The Lithuanians. Stephen Darius and
Stanley Girenas Of Chicago, made
surprise start in their orange and black
monoplane at 5:24 am, an hour and
IA minutes after Post had taken off.
Crowd of 1000 Gree:s Post.
The two World War veterans began
their projected 4,900-nile flight with
out passports and without permission
to fly over or to land in any country
along their course. At AS pm. a ship
thought to be theirs passed over Claren-
vile, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.
Post, who arrived at the field about
midnight, was greeted by Il crowd of
a thousand or more. Wearing new
gray suit, he curled up on a cot for
last-minute nap.
Meanwhile attendants filled the Win
ME Macs gas tanks to their capacity
of $50 gallons. Then the young pilot
arose, said good-by to his wife, Mrs.
Mae Post, and climbed into the plane.
I'll be back as soon as possible he
shouted to the crowd. In moment the
ship sped down the 4,100-foot runway
and was in the air.
Close behind was second plane,
bearing Mrs. Post, to wave a sky fare
well to her husband. The two craft
travelled together for 35 miles, Post
waved once more and the Winnie Mae
disappeared in the gray mist.
Robot Will Do Work.
The aviator, who will try for a world
solo record as well as attempting to
better his own time, will be aided by a
robot pilot, designed to keep the plane
on its course and maintain its altitude
and lateral stability.
I'm going to let the robot do all The
work. Post said before the take-off.

ASKS CITY MANAGER
Roosevelt Told Move to Alter
Organic Act Will Bring
Franchise Demand.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

A recommendation to Congress by
President Roosevelt for an amendmen,
Of the organic act of the District OF
Columbia to provide for a city manage,
would be the signal for drive to per-
NIT the people here to elect head Of
the District government.
The President has told several callers
that he has under consideration pro-
posing a change in the form Of District
government, providing for single exec
utive head instead Of the present Com
mission Of three.
The demand for a measure Of local
self-goyernment in the National Capital
has grown appreciably in recent years
The opening up Of the organic act fol
amendment in Congress will be fol-
lowed, it is predicted, by a demand by
many of the residents for the fran
chise. The President has been SO in
formed.
President Roosevelt has not indi-
Gated that he would approve such a
plan. Indeed, 1t has Deen generally
supposed that If he proposes the sub
stitution of a city manager Tor tne
commission form of government, it Will
be with the proviso that the single
executive head be appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Senate
That is the manner in which the pres
ent commissioners Of the District are
appointed.
King Opposes Changes.
Furthermore, Senator King OF Utan
chairman of the District Commlttee o.
the Upper House, yesterday turned
thumbs down on the proposal that tne
people here should be allowed to eiec'
the head of the municipal government
Any legislation to amend the orgahlt
act of the District would nave 10 s'
through his committee.
In some quarters it has been sug'
pested that under the broad powers
given the President to reorganlze tnt
Government under the economy act, ne
might go ahead and reorganize tne
District government as he sees Mt, ap'
pointing a city manager II ne desires
But Frederic A. Delano, an uncle Of
the President and chairman of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, who has been proponen,
of the city manager plan for the Capt.
tai City, is of the opinion that nothing
could be done along that line except
through a new act of Congress.
There is nothing in the present law
however, to prevent the Presidents
having an understanding with The new
Commissioners he appoints that they
are to give way as soon as he can &c,
a change in the law.

failed to date to appoint the successors

BY BRUCE CATION

A TIMELY and impaSSi0ned little
4 n book is "Coumter-At.ack." by
Willard Z. Tydings. U. S. senator
from Maryland.
In this book. the senator makes
an energetic plea for international
action TO destroy the obstacles
which prevent full economic recov-
cry.
He sees these obstacles as four
in number: Tariff and other trade
restrictions. deprecated currencies.
war debts and ornaments. Until
the nations Of the world have re-
moved or modified these four stun
bling blocks. he says. the depres-
sion can not end.
The senator INDUCES in some
plain talk on all of them. He de-
nounces tariff barriers with fine
scorn. asserting that complete stag
nation of international trade can
be the only result of the current
attempt on the part of each nation
to buy nothing abroad that it can
possibly produce at home.
He presents. also. a Logical argu-
ment for extensive revision of the
war debts. declaring that IL simple
self-interest America must relax its
traditional stand for the full pay
ment
Unfortunately, he somewhat spoils
the effect OF his arguments by
phrasing his whole book in mill

fight against the depreSsi on as a
vast military operation. and in con-
sequence. he makes it a tribe harder
