n. R. A. IS ADVISED
| T0L|FT NEWS GAG
Publisher Tells New Board
Public Should Know
Its Actions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Return, in part at least, to the gold
fish bowl" transparency of early Blue
Eagle days has been recommended to
N. r. AS governors after six secretive
weeks of board control.
The advice came from S. Emory
Thomason, Chicago publisher, who was
brought to Washington as a special
adviser on public relations and was
asked how the board could create a
contact with the Nations press bene-
fetal to N. r. A.
Thomason studied the situation
which had changed N. r. A. from
what Chairman Clay Williams termed
the "ballyhoo" era to "work-a-day'
standing of almost complete silence
He talked with officials and discussed
with newsmen the difficulties of learn
ing what went on behind the daily
closed-door meetings Of a seven-mar
board whose activities are vitality i'm.
portant to all coded business and the
consuming public.
News Is Scarce.
He found N. r. A. lacked a public
relations director and that even its
press section had been without an ex-
ecutive head for months. He learned
that at least two of the board members
fatty refused to talk to the press and
that in six weeks Williams had held
just one press conference, in contrast
with Hugh S. Johnson's frequent as
semblies.
A formal report by Thomason was
understood to have reminded the
board members they were directing
public business, not a private cor
poration. 1t was reported to say
that public relations would be i'm
proved if business and the public
through the press, were kept informed
on what the board and N r. A. were
doing
Thomason was believed to have urgec
naming public relations director
who would attend board meetings
and be authorized to keep the press
informed on matters Of interest tt
industry. labor and consumers. HI
further was understood to have rec.
commended that an order gagginl
N. r. A. officials be withdrawn.
Violation Seen Increasing.
Meanwhile a report indicating in.
creasing code violation from coast
to coast and mo real improvement
in business over a year ago" wa.
made by the American Federation
Of Labor following a survey JUS
completed
The survey consisted of report
from ii organizations in % States
Forty-three found increasing or wide
spread violation of codes in thei
areas. Only seven reported violation
on the wane. Several said the Blu
Eagle no longer drew the respect O
buyers in their districts.
In summarizing the reports, tn
federation attributed the increase il
violations to:
81. The fact that the code author
tiles, themselves, are not in favor o
the codes and hence do not bother t,
see them enforced.
"2. The employees, particularly II
unorganized plants, are afraid of los
fractions of the codes.
"3. The failure Of the administra
ton, itself, to command the respec
of business, i.e., restoring the Blu
Eagle to companies who have violates
the codes, without prosecuting tn
cases"
THE drought, increasing unemploy
ment and lack of cooperation on th'
part of business with the Nationa
Recovery Administration" also wer'
said to be items of real importance
in existing conditions.

PROTEST IS FILED.
Diamond Believed Ready to
Ask Recount-Charges
Ballots Missing.
BY JACK ALLEN.

Montgomery County election Of
ficials today were considering a for
NAL protest made by County Commis-
sioner John B. Diamond against the
vote recorded in the Jamestown dis
trict during Tuesdays general elec-
ton. Diamond asserted in his COM
plant to the board that Is ballots
were issued by one set of officials in
that district which cannot be ac-
counted for in the tally sheets re-
turned to the Board of Election Su-
perviSors.
Diamond, president of the present
board, and Democratic candidate for
reelection, lost to Charles e. King,
Fusion candidate, in the second dis
trict commissioner race by margin
officially announced at SO votes, and
his defeat, coupled with that of
Raleigh S. Chinn and Miss Lavinia
Engle, gives the Fusion party the
controlling vote on the Board of
County Commissioners and will place
the new political faction in control OF
the county government after jan
uary 7.
Diamonds protest was based on the
returns made by officials in charge of
the Darnestown polling place which
handles the vote of people whose
names are listed on the books from
A. to J.
King Has Majority.
Kings majority In that section was
IS votes and even though Diamonds
protest carries and it should be de-
cided that the vote of the entire Sec
tion be thrown out, it would appear
that King would still carry the county
by a majority of 4 votes.
It was felt by many that Diamond
might petition the Circuit Court fol
recount of the entire vote cast ir
the county in the second district com.
missioner's race If his protest is up
! held by the election board, and the
Darnestown returns are thrown out
Diamond said he had not reached any
decision regarding such a test, but
declared he had 80 days in which te
| take such action.
The protest was lodged with the
election board late yesterday. Dia-
mond said in his letter he understood
that when the ballots from the
Darnestown sixth election district
| were returned to the Board of Elec.
tion Supervisors several were unac-
counted for, to wit: Fifteen.
Il further understand that there
were IS ballots more or less giver
out to voters than the tally sheei
indicated.
Il therefore hereby register protest
and respectfully request that the elec.
tion officials of the Darnestown sixth
election district be summoned before
your honorable board to show cause
