were coupled with the Presidents sud-
den decision to return to Washington
instead of going directly to Hyde Park,

he left Washington, that business con-
ditions presented q very heartening

of one of his busiest days In Wash

are being drafted. They probably will
be presented to Mr.. Roosevelt soon

Codes to Be Regrouped.
REORGANIZATION of N. r. A. will in
volve regrouping of about TOO codes
and supplements which now cover
about 95 per cent Of the Nations in
dustrial workers. It Is generally be-
lieved that all codes will be brought
into % groupings under II divisions.
The divisions would be placed under
the five sectors" each in charge OF
an assistant administrator.
As outlined in the tentative chart,
Hugh s. johnson would continue as
recovery administrator probably until

its practicability and provide the basis
for recommendations for permanent
legislation.

return to private business as soon as
he could be spared. The President has
