GEN. JOHNSON
 HITS CRITIC,,,
 RECOVERY ACT
Slaps Ogden L. Mills as 'Mouthpiece of Crew of
 Nations Wreckers'

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Gen. Hugh s. Johnson last night told the country that you couldn't take the code away from one of the ccdified industries with a machine gun or crowbar"
 This was his reply to a new att tack made by NRA's critics, notably Ogden l.. Mills, whom he called the "mouthpiece of the crew of the Nations wreckers."
 Gen. Johnson made his address at meeting of the National Cath ollie Alumni Federation and it was carried over the Columbia network.
 Gen. Johnson said the only ones complaining about the codes were some employers who want to take labor of other men for less than enough to provide them living, and politicians so callous of human rights, and for the sake of their own selfish advantage at the forth coming elections, are willing to de- ceive the public about the greatest social advance of modern times"

 The President suggested no leg islation at this session of Congress is either necessary or advisable. The President indicated what Especial circumstance" would be considered by emphasizing that the factors would. be whether nations are utilizing their resources for re covery purposes. and can make a reasonable payment on debts owed or are spending for unproductive nationalistic purposes. The Amer ican people are in just position to ask that substantial sacrifices be made to meet these debts"

CORDOvA FEELS
 STRIKE EFFECT, DECLARES WADE
Restaurants Ration Butter Eggs and 9th CT
 Staples Exhausted

Meals in Cordova, and presum- ably in other towns in western anc central Alaska, are simple and the food of the plainest, according tc Hugh A. Wade, Deputy NRA Ad- ministrator for Alaska, who fsl turned home yesterday after a sue cessful mediation in the fisher mems strike at Cordova. The whole community was overjopyed at the strike settlement and looks forward to a fine season if the shipping situation is relieved, he said.
 An agreement between the strik- CTS and packers was reached at the last minute last Tuesday while the steamer Cordova was held in port to await the outcome of re-opened conferences following rejection Mon- day by the fishermen of the pack CTS final offer.
 The settlement prevented ser ious situation in Cordova and one that would have crippled all lines of business and activity in the con- munity, causing the loss of hun dreds of thousands of dollars, MT Wade gave much of the credit to the Cordova Chamber of Com merce, particularly James L. Galer and Capt. A. E. Lathrop, whc worked necessarily for a compro- mise even after it seemed hope less.
 People were so concerned over the fishermen's strike they didn't have much time to worry about the transportation situation at the time. However, there is distinct shortage of a number of food con- modities.
 Restaurants, MT. Wade said, are rationing out their limited supply of butter. Eggs are off the mar ket. Fresh meat is difficult to ob- tain. There are no green veget- ables of any kind to be had
 Flour stocks are. being depleted but the Red Cross there has a limited supply of that commodity that can be borrowed as last re- sort.
 Passengers on the Cordova in- formed MT. Wade that flour was practically exhausted in Anchorage Shortages in other lines were re- ported there and elsewhere. There has been no vessel arriving in western ports from Seattle for two weeks and it will be the middle of next week before the North Wind can reach them.

Housing Facilities Lag
 for Workers in Boom

NEWCASTLE, Ind, June 1-Hous- ing facilities here have failed to keep pace with the amount of work to be had, with the result that some 1900 workers must commute from other nearby cities and towns.
 Newcastles boom for most part is caused by the reopening at full time of a branch of one of the country's largest automobile manu- lecturers.
 Similar conditions prevail in Con- nersville, Anderson and Hagers- town, other Indiana industrial cen- ters specializing in a u to m o b il e manufacturing, making of auto motive parts and accessories, cabi- nets for domestic refrigerators and similar equipment.

Markets Nearly Cleaned Out of Fresh Meat-Ex-
 pect None on North Wind

With the exception of the United Food Meat Market and the Sani- tary Meat Market, every shop in city expects to be completely out of fresh meat by this afternoon, and these small supplies are by no means complete. Not only is the meat practically gone, as far as can be determined, none is aboard the North Wind, recently released by the striking 1ongshoremen to bring supplies north.
 The United Food Market is the only shop expecting a consignment of fresh meat. aboard the Prin- cess Norah from the south and also is the only shop with enough meat on hand to last until Mon day or Tuesday, If one confines oneself to beef or pork, as the chicken, lamb and mutton are gone.
 When queried as to the situation. the replies from the various mar kets were:
 Alaska Meat Company, We have nothing but veal and pork and what little there is of that will be sold out by this afternoon The worst of it is, that it looks us thought there is none aboard the North Wind"
 Sanitary Meat Company: we have little of everything but pork and believe we will be able to sup ply our customers with lamb, veal, beef or chicken until tomorrow ev- ening, but it won't hold out any longer than that. It is believed there is no fresh meat on the North Wind, but there will be plenty of ham and bacon
 No Meat, None Coming
 Frye-Bruhn Meat Market: We have no meat, absolutely none and have none coming as far as we knew. We got wire from Seat tie this morning that the company was unable to get any space aboard the North Wind"
 Piggly Wiggly: We are almost completely out of fresh meat, though we possibly have enough veal, chicken and beef to take care of our customers until tomorrow morning, it is pretty low. We haven't any pork As far as we know, there's none on the way north"
 United Food Has Plenty
 United Food Meat Market: we have plenty of meat to last until Monday or Tuesday. Of course, the selection isn't complete, but we have a side of beef, and some pork. The chicken, lamb and mutt ton is all sold out, but we have plenty of every variety of fresh meat coming north on the Princess Norah, so there will be no need for people to do without for a while

TRADE TREND PWARD;CASH
 IS PLENTIFUL

NEW YORK, June 1.--While the business trend continues upward Q tension is spreading in the business world lately says the weekly re- view today issued by Dun -Brad- street, Inc.
 Uneasiness is attributed to the failure of distribution to hold around the high levels reached dur- ing the first quarter and less fa- vorable crop reports and prospects of labor trouble.
 ITO counterbalance these retard- ative influences there is plenty of money awaiting an opportunity for investment as soon as the period of obstructive legislation will have spent it's force" the review says.
