Around
The
Capital
BY JOHN SNURE. JR..

"A pavement-parading panhan-
der accosted Norman Thomas,
administrative assistant secre-
tary to the Undersecretary of
the Treasury, with the custom.
0ry demand for a dime.
Silver jingled in Thomas
pocket and he drew forth the
coin. Believing that he had
other tokens of finance, he pre-
sented the mendicant with the
entire handful of change. The
panhandler moved on.
Soon thereafter Thomas
started to take a cab for his
home, but suddenly realized he
was without funds.
He started the mile trek
homeward on foot.
In front of the Mayflower
Hotel a second beggar stopped
him and asked for a handout.
Sorry" said Thomas, I'm
walking four miles home just
because I gave all my change to
q man in need"
Brother" returned the bum,
If that is the kind of man you
are and you are walking be-
cause you gave all your dough
to a hobo, I'll help you out"
So saying he pulled forth
from his pocket a handful of
silver and told Norman to take
what he needed.

FORD Il IKE
PEACE WITH
NRA SOON

DETROIT, Sept. 4 eI.N.S).-W.
j. Cameron, the voice Of the
Ford Motor Company" was back
in Dearborn today, giving rise to
the new reports that Henry Ford
would have to settle the conflict
between his vast industrial en-
pire and the NRA.
Cameron, official spokesman Of
the Ford company. returned late
yesterday from Montreal. In COM
mon with Henry Ford himself, his
son and business partner, Edsel,
and other Ford executives, Cam
eron has been absent "on vaca.
ton" since Ford's attitude toward
NRA became a matter Of national
Importance.
Ford has so far failed to affiX
his signature to the automobile
code drawn up by the National
Automobile Chamber of Com.
merce, and signed by the Presi.
dent. Tomorrow is the dealline
for signing the code. 1t is gen.
orally believed here and in Dear.
born that Ford will not sign the
code under present circumstances,
because he objects to the N. A.
C. C. as the enforcing body.
If he signs he will have to open
his books to the N. A. c. c., which
is dominated by his competitors.
He is the only large manufacturer
not a member of the motor trade
association.
International News Service re.
vealed exclusively that Ford has
desired for some time to submit
a sparate code, calling for a wage
increase and a profit-sharing plan
for his employees. But Gen. Hugh
S. Johnson, administrator of the
NRA, has stated he will not per-
NIT Ford to have a private code.
Ford remained at his lodge in
the exclusive Huron Mountain
Club on the shore of Lake Su.

ADDED LEISURE
NOT To SPOIL
WORKERS

Working men who derive addi'
tional hours Of leisure from the
operation of NRA codes will moi
be at loss as to how to spenc
them, in the opinion Of Edward
F.. McGrady, Assistant Secretary
Of Labor, who has for many years
been active in the labor movement
and knows the psychology Of the
workman thoroughly.
In the first place, McGrady
points out. good many Of these
men have never really had any
leisure except when they are out
of work. Commenting on this as
pect Of the situation, he said:
"In some industries, such long
hours have been the rule that
the emplOye has hardly had any
time to spend with his family
at all.
"He would go home from work
to sleep, and return in the morn
ing, with hardly q break in the
routine. Working 10 or IL hours
a day affords no opportunities
for leisure, and the men whose
time has been cut to 40 or 48
hours q week will welcome the
chance to spend little time
with their families.
"They are not going 20 waste
their time. The more ambitious
among them will use their spare
hours to obtain an education.
The older men will have a long
awaited opportunity to take
outings with their families, to
enjoy a little recreation, to fish
or work in their gardens.
"When the normal working
day was IA hours, and it was
finally cut down, some Of the
best people were greatly worried
lest the workmen employ their
free time badly. Well, they
didn't employ their time badly"
The aim of reduced hours, of
course, is to make more jobs. In
many instances wages are also
being increased, and increased
purchasing power, plus greater
leisure, is counted upon by the
NRA to create a greater demand
for goods and services,
More Touring Expected
Motoring has become the typi-
cal American diversion today, and
with added leisure time it is ex-
pected that many more family
outings and pleasure jaunts will
be the rule.
The Federal Government ap-
parently is counting on that very
thing, for the National Park Ser
vice has just prepared a unique
map of the United States show
ing the national parks and monu-
ments, the State parks, forest res
ervations and other spots Of
scenic interest.
It was made for the very pur-
pose of meeting the requirements
of men who, permitted more
leisure under the New Deal"
would like to make weekend mo-
tor trips or longer journeys.
