Woman Who Saued Girls Life

The little girl, Dorothy Barry,

She was first treated at Garfield

FORD ASKS DEALERS
TO BACK PRESIDENT
Motor Magnate Says Each Must
Do Utmost to Speed
Recovery.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, December 8.-In his first
public utterance since the Fall of 1882,
when he spoke in behalf Of former
President Herbert Hoover, Henry Ford
yesterday asked Ford Motor Co. dealers
"to pitch in and do all the business we
can to help the President pull the coun-
try out of the hole"
II think 1894 will be very good year
for everybody that works." Mr.. Ford
said In a brief address over an inter-
national telephone hook-up from his
Dearborn offices. THAT is one thing
the depression has taught us; the only
thing that can pull this country
through is work. There is plenty of
work to do. We have all got to pitch
id and do all the business we can to
help the President pull the country out
of the hole"
These words, coming from the out
standing non-signatory to the N. r. A.
automotive code, the man who last
Summer told newspaper men that II
have nothing to say about the N. r. A.
or anything else" were studied with
interest.
Those who heard Mr.. Ford's talk yes
terday recalled that N. r. A. Admin
istrator Hugh S. johnson said at At
lanta, Ca, several weeks ago that he
was satisfied the Ford Co. was living up
to the requirements Of the code.
Ford Co. officials have asserted that
the concern Is complying with the au-
tomotive code up to the point Of ac-
tuaIly signing the agreement and that
the company would have to 'live down
to the code, not up to IT."

matters, the N. r. A.. instead of agree
ing to appoint labor members to au-
thorities administering codes, was at
work on plan for creation of gov
ernmental boards, including labor and
consumer representatives to observe III
dustrial operation.
1t was definitely understood that the
organized labor demand for a place
with industrialists on the committees
which actually govern coded industries
has been turned down. The most Wig
orous pressure from business convinced
officials that to grant 1t would wreck
the present relationship built up in
N R. A. Industrialists who made the
representations to Gen. johnson came
away satisfied.
This led to the new formula, still in
an indefinite stage by which labor,
clamoring for partnership with busi-
ness under the industrial law, would be
granted a front seat among reviewing
strategic position to object to actions
deemed inimical to the workers in
terests.
Addition of consumer representa-
tive, this plans authors say, would
bring up customer participation to the
same privileged status as labor, and
lessen the objection Of industrialists,
who oppose labor organization, to the
commanding position which would be
given the worker side.
Labor Chiefs Yet to Be Heard.
Labor chiefs have yet to be heard
from on the new plan, but they have
been preserving the most complete
silence since 1t was broached to them
and the rundown Of their first pro-
posal was made While not indicating
consent, the silence has been interpreted
by Observers as q friendly one!
As tentatively outlined, each major
industry and each group of minor ones
would have one of these governmental
boards attached to it In an observing
capacity. though without the veto pow
er conferred on the Federal members
of the code authorities.
While giving labor the chance to op-
pose proposed policies, or suggest new
ones, it would not place upon them re-
sDonsibility for agreeing with the acts
c. the controlling industrial units.

Hot Potato Dropped.
That idea of making Democratic wom-

dropped before it got started.

Radio Show on Repeal.
The State Department made radio
show out Of prohibition repeal.
It would not give out the repeal proc
lamation before it was signed, because
that would be undiplomatic But Under
secretary Phillips went before micro
phone and read 1t to the country. After
ward he signed it, and then only was it
released to newspapers for publication.
The incident was not an intentional
affront to newspapers, but just another
red tape error.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Treasury May Propose
Small Reduction in
Tax Rates.
BY PAUL MALLON.

TINE current excitement about the
Il House subcommittee tax plan Is
unnecessary.
i That plan represents only the
views of two or three members
of the House who made study of the
problem.
The Treasury Department had moth
ing to do with the report. It Is the au-
thority which will make the official rec
concentrations on taxes. Its recon-
mendations will be substantially more
moderate.
The subcommittee plan succeeded in
getting front page publicity, which was
one of its primary objects. 1t will
serve the good purpose Of arousing d.
cussion about t.; loopholes.
4 SEEK to Plug Leaks.
The men who are performing the
real task of writing new tax law at
the Treasury are not concerned with
further revenues. Indeed, they may
recommend a small reduction in the
nuisance taxes.
Their primary purpose now Is to plug
the loopholes through which the rich
have been wriggling out of their just
taxes. They do not intend to blackjack
every honest man in this country who
happens to have a dollar.
