NRA WILL DROP
SMALL FIRM
CODERULE
General Johnson Will Answer
DarroW Report When 1t Is
Released Next Week
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Soon to celebrate it's first birth
day, the NRA has reached a sig
nificant turning point in its his
tory.
The idea that all business, large
and small, could be regimented
under codes has now been defi-
nitely abandoned. Henceforth it
is big business, not little business,
that is to get the major attention
of NRA's dynamic administrator,
Gen. Hugh S. johnson.
Scores of codes affecting small
businesses are to be literally
junked. General Johnson said:
"We're not going to fool with
them any longer. They can
sign the Presidents reemplOy-
ment agreement"
Waste of Time
johnson said a recent survey
of his intricate organization dis
closed that IS per cent of NRA
time, personnel and money was
being employed to take care of
about Is per cent of the recov-
cry program-that is, small busi-
nesses, complaints, etc. AS an
economist, he considered that
wasteful inefficiency.
The revamping of the NRA pro-
gram along the lines of freeing the
little fellow" from it's onerous
restrictions will, it is estimated,
greatly diminish the criticism of
the NRA as a whole.
The cleaners and dyers' code
was cited as a conspicuous ex-
ample of the kind of codes that
are to be abandoned under the
new set-up.
With characteristic language,
Johnson said this code was
"lousy" and could not be en-
forced.
The DarrOw Report
1t is perhaps significant that
Johnson's admission that the NRA
is unenforcable against small
business came almost simultane-
ously with the submission of the
Clarence Darrow report, which
severely criticises the monopolistic
tendencies of the NRA and it's
effect upon the little fellow"

EX-PRES|DENT
IN HIDING NEAR
PHILADELPHIA
Murder-Bound Quartet Now
in New York; 2 Mutilated,
2 InCurabIy Sick

NEW YORK, May IL. G.NS).
A fantastic story of how four
Cuban students. two of them dy-
ing, Of an incurable disease, and
the others horribly mutilated,
were seeking Gerardo Machado in
New York for the purpose of
numbering him came to light to-
day as police sought the arrest
of one of the former Cuban Presi-
dents principal aides, General
Alberto Herrera.
The two students, who are dy-
ing, according to the story heard
in metropolitan Cuban circles, ar
rived here last Tuesday on a Ward
Line steamship and were joined
by two others who had been mu-
tilated in torture cells by the Por-
ristas, Cuban strong-arm police
under Machado. and who came
here by train from Jacksonville.
Fla. The four are said to have
been chosen by lot to kill Mach
ado and possibly Herrera.
MachadO Aware of Plot
Both Machado and Herrera dis
appeared several weeks ago fol-
lowing the issuance of a warrant
for Machado's arrest on charges
of responsibility for Cuban mass
murders. A similar warrant was
issued late yesterday for Herrera.
CubanS in New York told police
and federal officers today that
Machado was aware of the pres
ence in this country Of the MUIR
der-bent students and was plan
ming to flee to the Dominican re-
publican in order to escape them.
The Dominican republic has been
friendly to the former Cuban ex-
ecutive in the past.
Hiding in Pennsylvania
Machado, it is said, fled to
Camden, N. j., Immediately after
the warrant for his arrest was is
sued, but when his presence be-
came known there, he established
temporary residence in a Phila-
delphia hotel. From there he is
said to have gone to the former
country home of Pennsylvania
politician, where he is believed to
be still in hiding.
Herrera's whereabouts are COM
pletely unknown.
Machado'S associates here in
sist he will return to New York
and surrender as soon as the Gu
ban government sends its actual
eXtradition charges.

D. c. ATTORNEY
INDICTED |

Raymond S. Norris, former spe-
cial assistant Attorney General,
and now a practicing lawyer here,
vehemently denied today that he
is guilty of charges made in an in
dictment returned by a New York
Federal grand jury yesterday.
Mr.. Norris, who lives in the $500
block Meadow Lane, Chevy Chase.
Md, said he was at loss to un-
derstand how the jury returned
it's indictment of charges that he
conspired to defraud the United
States of it's right to an impair
TALLY conducted Postoffice Depart
ment.
Indicted with Mr.. Norris was
Solomon C. Sugarman, disbarred
New York attorney. The grand
jury's investigation grew out of a
mail fraud case in which Sugar
man and others we're involved in a
scheme for disposing of silk hos
iery.

GUN BILL DUE
FORHEAR|NG

In the face of charges that an
"insidious lobby" is fighting the
Justice Departments gun regis
tration bill, the House Ways and
Means Committee today was
called into session early next
week to take action on the meas
ure.
Although Attorney General
Cummings has appeared for the
measure behind closed doors, the
committee thus far has taken no
steps to bring it before Congress.
Chairman Doughton CD of
North Carolina disclosed he had
sent the measure back to the
Justice Department fer an ex-
animation of complaints made
against it. He said:
"There is a great deal Of
opposition to the measure.
Complaints have been made it
would take away personal lib
erty and prevent a man from
having a gun in his own home
for defense. The most out
spoken opponent has been the
adjutant general of Maryland"
Representative Woodruff CD
Of Michigan, member of the COM
mittee, and the first sponsor of
an anti-racketeering bill in Con-
gress five years ago, declared a
strong lobby is opposing the
measure. He said:
"It is an insidious lobby. 1
believe, that is working quietly
in the districts of members"

BY JOSEPH HARRINGTON

NEW YORK, May 12.-On April
% Magistrate O'Dwyer poked an
inquisitive hand into the mystery
of how it happened that all tailors
brought before him for violating
NRA code prices possessed one
Identical characteristic: T h e y
were all men or women who had
declined to pay dues to the Brook
lyn Tailors' and Cleaners Associa-
ton.
This was two weeks before The
New York Journal exposed the
background of the tailors' prose-
cution, but Magistrate O'Dwyer,
fore-armed with a knowledge of
labor organizers tactics, smelled
a rat.
He looked down at the cluster
of 10 frightened tailors before
the bench in Flatbush court. Then
he looked at Harry N. Greenberg,
lordly, staggering scourge of NRA
Violators in Brooklyn.
Secretary of Group
Mr.. Greenberg is secretary of
this selfsame association to which
the 10 scared men and women
wouldn't pay. Claiming authority
from the Code Authority itself, he
has for months been acting as
the prosecutor of tailors in Brook
lyn.
Two of the many summoned by
him had failed to appear. Said
Magistrate O'Dwyer:
I won't give you warrants
for them. Why should 1 give
you my judicial arm to go out
and do with as you pleaSe-pa-
