JOHNSON BRANDS
DARROW'S REPORT
FALSE MATERIAL
Attorney Resigns as Head
of Board-Third Study
Filed.
BY the Associated Press.

Friction between the N R. A. and
the Darrow Review Board stirred up
more sparks today as Hugh S. john
son accused the board of issuing false
material" and the Darrow group
promptly drafted counter attack.
Meanwhile, his work finished, Dar-
row today resigned as chairman of
the board. He was succeeded by w.
w. Neal, a Marion, N. c., textile
manufacturer, now vice chairman.
The board also submitted its third
report to President Roosevelt today,
the contents of which were not i'm
mediately revealed.
Gen. johnson, in a biting criticism
of the second Darrow report, attached
replies by Donald r. Richberg, N
R. AS general counsel, and u ad-
ministratorS.
The report" johnson said. is
even more inaccurate and inconse-
Quential than the first"
Charles E. Russell, assistant to
Clarence Darrow, told newsmen the
board likely will issue a statement
in reply shortly"
The N. R. A head said certain of
the boards statements were typical
OF "the unfairness, untruth, temper,
spirit, and utter worthleSSness of
these reports; that it had not pro-
duced so much as one little drachm
of evidence that there is any mo-
nopoly or oppression at ALL" and that:
The evidence thus multiplies that
the board is using it's high off1ce-not
to perform its function of showing us
our errors, giving US the truth or in
any way protecting any little fellow
but solely to manufacture false mate
rial for any politician who may be
demagogue enough to use this kind
Of political coin as honest money"
The White House has been made
the sounding board for the hurting of
hot adjectiveS by both sides. Mr.
Roosevelt has said nothing, but merely
has made both reports and counter
reports available for publication.
If johnson replies to the third re-
port, he may have the last word
Russell said the board would carry
out original intentions to close up
shop by July /.
Richberg's reply hit particularly at
statement in the second report that
N. R. A. had accepted some of the
boards early recommendations. Assert
ing the changes had been contemplate
ed long before the report, he declared
this statement demonstrated:
That common delusion of back seat
drivers that safe operation results only
from following their advice"
Richberg criticized the Darrow
criticism of the asbestos. cement.
bedding, lumber, retail and other
codes, and denied that the boot and
shoe code had been secretly changed
without knowledg1 of the industry.
Richberg once more harked back to
supplemental report to the first re-
port, made by William o. Thompson
and Darrow which said that there
existed only choice between socialism
and Government-sustained monopoly
The N. r. A. counsel said:
ITO avoid public misunderstanding
we should explain that the N. r, A
has not accepted the recommendations
of the board in its first report that we
abandon our efforts to make competi-
tion fair, nor the recommendation that
we choose between monopoly sustained
by Government and a planned
economy, which demands socialized
ownership and control

Bang" Is Delayed.
A piece of string was stuck into
the powder, to serve as a fuse. but
it failed to produce the bang" ex-
pected by the youngsters. Then. with
the burned match stick, which was
still hot, Paul scraped the powder
into a little heap and stood back
Again, nothing happened.
From his fathers work bench, Paul
took a can of shellac and poured a
few drops over the powder. AS he
and Joseph stood by to watch the
result. the mixture exploded.
There is nothing in either powder
or shellac to cause an explosion
merely by putting them together" said
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald, who
began an investigation Immediately
after Joseph's death. "Shellac con-
tains alcohol, however. and that is
highly inflammable-much more Sc
than powder, for instance. The proba-
bility is that the heat of the burned
match was sufficient to ignite the al
cohol, which, in turn, caused the
powder to flash up"
Splattered by Blaze.
Joseph, who was bending over the
powder, was splattered by blazing fluid
from the open shellac can. His
brother escaped injury, however.
The Meaghers' housekeeper, Mrs. S
E. Linkins, who was at work in an
other part of the house, ran down into
the cellar and, with heavy blanket
attempted to smother the flames
Meanwhile Paul, who had run up
stairs, returned with a bucket OF
water and threw it over his brother
burning clothing.
Together, Mrs. Linkins and Pau
