Reveals Threats on Life

The strain of the long campaign
showed plainly on the International
Unknown author He admitted he
was nervous, tired and anxious to
get the election over"
This campaign" he remarked at
one point, has shortened my life.
I'm sure of It."
He said he had received written
threats that had forced him into Sc
clusion. The interviewer was given
his address only on promise of Sc
crecy. At the quiet, well-appointed
residence where he lived it was first
denied through a chained door that
he was present.
Once inside, Mr.. Sinclair led the
way to a long living room. He looked
as tired as he said he was with his
slight frame huddled If his seat, but
his tongue was as sharp as ever.
Motion picture executives have
been among Sinclair's most out
spoken opponents, so he was asked
first about threats to move the in
dustry to Florida in event of his
election.
Bunk" He Declares
That's the biggest piece of bunk
in this entire election he said con-
temptuouSly. They couldn't move
out if they wanted. 1t would cost
them too much. Their investment
here is too great"

ability as a politician:
I'm not a good politician. After

SURVEY SHOWS
MONOPOLY
THREAT
Drastic Shake-up Likely to
Follow DarroW Report;
Criticism Growing
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
international News Service

The Blue Eagle of the NRA is
preparing to loosen its grip on
the little fellow.
Almost a years experimenting
with the numerous codes has con-
vinced some of the best minds in
the NRA that while they work
satisfactorily with the larger in
dustries, they do not with the
smaller industries, and further.
more they cannot be enforced.
The first retreat probably will
be in the so-called service codes
cleaning and dyeing, hotel and
restaurant, barber shops and
beauty parlors. There have been
more violations in these codes
than in any others.
Changes Forecast
Two reports have contributed
to the belief that the NRA is to
undergo fairly drastic reorganiza-
ton during the next six months.
One is the Clarence Darrow
report, now before President
Roosevelt. While its contents
have not been revealed officially,
it is known that the grizzled old
defender of the underdog had
plenty to say about what the
NRA has done to the little fellow
in business.
The report charges, in effect,
that the NRA has fostered
monopoly and enabled the big
fellow to drive the little fellow
to the wall. A majority of the
board agreed with Mr.. Darrow.
Another report from the Con-
sumers Advisory Board empha-
sized the impossibility of the
board protecting consumers in
terests in some 400 codes. This
report indicated the boards de-
termination to concentrate on
approximately 100 of the major
codes and let the rest slide.
Shake-Up Looms
consequently, G41c CApcCLdCAOl1
is that within the next six
certainly before the fall
elections, the NRA is going to be
shaken up and shaken down.
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, the
Recovery Administrator, is not
convinced yet that the time for
drastic revision has arrived. He
would like to see a little more
experimentation.
But not a few of his aides
consider that the time has come
to retreat from some of the more
controversial aspects of the NRA.
And these controversial features
almost entirely concern the little
fellow.

CODE REWSONS TO AID nITTLE FELLOWS"
Senate Soon
To Act On
D. E. Bill

Although no definite announce
ment has come from Senate
leaders, it was generally believed
today that the District supply bill
for 1885, reported by the Senate
Appropriations Committee yester-
day, will receive Senate considera-
ton early next week.
Carrying a total of over $751;
100000 as reported by the COM
mittee, the bill provides more than
$4,000,000 in increases over the
amount approved by the House.
Another Increase Likely
It is expected that another
$3.50, 900 will be added by the Sen
ate to provide for the construc-
ton of a grade-crosSing viaduct
at Michigan Avenue. This will be
offered as a committee amend
ment when the bill is considered
on the floor.
Since it is virtually conceded
that the Senate will make only
slight, if any reductions, in the
amounts proposed by the commit
tee, a battle is expected when the
bill gets into conference between
the House and Senate.
Lump Sum Fight Seen
The anticipated House-Senate
conference struggle is expected to
center on the Federal lump sum
and the item for schools, since
two of the largest increases made
by the Senate committee were in
these two.
An increase of $1.700,000 also
was made in the emergency relief
item, but supplemental estimate
this was received
recently from the Bureau of the
Budget, so the House probably will
accept this without opposition.

CONSIDER THREE MOVES
"Any lawyer knows that the
suppression of evidence is a sure
sign that it is damaging to the
one who SuppreSSeS it,"
While hoping that Mr.. Roose-
velt will voluntarily bring the re-
port before the public, and make
it's suggested corrective changes
in the NRA, the Senators were
considering one of these three
moves:
l. A resolution requesting the
President to send the report to
the Senate;
2. A Senate delegation to ask
the President, personally, to
make the report public;
8. A resolution asking Sen
ate investigation of the NRA:
The Senators received word
that Mr.. Darrow'S report found
eight codes operating to the dis
advantage of small business and
recommended the removal of at
least one code authority for mall
feaSance.
Senator Nye said:
when we heard that Mr..
DarrOw and a majority of the
board were ,&oout to point out
in plain terms how the NRA
had hurt small business and
how the NRA must be changed
if this evil were to be cor
rected, we believed the Presi-
dent would welcome the boards
report"
Senator Nye warned the NRA
will fade out of the picture" un-
less it is reorganized to better pro.

see good in it's regulation of maxi
mum hours of work, minimum
wages, and abolition of child labor,
and unfair trade practices, and

those Of different individuals.
And this is not confined to

Unthinking Action
The white race has been, she
confessed, slow in realizing the
danger of neglecting the education
of a vast group in its midst. She
said:
"The great menace today to
democracy is unthinking action.
Our only hope is giving all the
people the education needed to
understand what is happening
in their own country"
Tonight at 8:15 a public meet
ing will be held at the Arm

will be delivered by DR.. Harold

DR.. Ambrose Caliver, director of
the conference, will preside.

Educational Life

Harder times are ahead of the
American people unless they
realize the Importance of giving
the younger generation the educa-
ton and training to understand
the problems of the nation and
what their government is trying
to do for them, Mrs. Roosevelt to-
day declared at the opening ses-
sion of the national conference
on negro education meeting at
the Department of Commerce.
Earnestly the First Lady stressed
the Importance of working to-
gether, race, creed and color for
gotten, toward this common goal.
Raps Intolerance
She said:
1--WE must wipe out intol-
erance and the belief that any
one group can go forward
alone. We go ahead together
or we go down together"
Great applause greeted her
statement that every child, white
or colored, should have the best
education he could assimilate.
This does not mean, however,
she warned, that all should be
educated alike.

Telegraph and Cable Corpora
ton.
Mr.. Behn opposed enactment
at this time of the Rayburn bill
creating a Federal communica,
tions commission.
White Asks Change
He was preceded on the stand
by R. B. White. president Of
the Western Union Telegraph
Company, who said his company
can adjust its practices with the
requirements of the Rayburn pro-
posal but said the suggested com.
mission should have sole juris.
diction over the communications
companies.
Mr.. Behn testified:
1--WE believed in consolidation
as by far the most constructive
solution of the problem five
years ago when the Postal Com
pany was on a profitable basis.
We believed in it during the
depth of the depression and we
still believe in it now that busl-
ness Is showing improvement"
No consolidation of any kind,
however, would be accepted by
the I. T. T. and T. or by Postal
which involved the discharge Of

Abuses Seen Unchecked
Enumerating his reasons why
the proposed bill falls short Of
Constructive solution
of the communications problem.
Mr.. Behn asserted:
"First, it fails to provide for
consolidation of competing tele-
graph services;
Second, it fails equally to
correct the abuses to which
competition in this business
has led; and,
Third, it actually proposes
to imp Ie restrictions on the
cOmpe.,itiO of the company
having the smaller network
which could be advantageous
only to the stronger telegraph
company in impairing for its
own benefit the competition
