DARROW CODE
REPORT GETS
NRA SLAP
Johnson, Richberg Excoriate
'"Prejudice," "SiIIiness" Of
Attack on Recovery
BY EDWARD o. MAYL
international News Service

President Roosevelt was faced
today with demands for scrapping
his pet recovery program. or OF
discarding the National Recovery
Review Board, set up by him to
protect the interests of the little
fellow"
Recommendation for the aboli-
ton of the NRA and the substitu-
ton of Socialism was made by
Clarence Darrow, chairman OF
the board, while the scrapping OF
the board was demanded by Hugh
s johnson, administrator Of the
Presidents National Industrial
recovery act.
Faced With Choice
Mr., Darrow, with william o.
THOMPSON, his old law partner
after three months investigation,
found the NRA fosters monopoly
and declared America is faced with
the choice between monopoly
sustained by government, which
is clearly the trend Of the NRA;
and q planned economy. which
demands socialized oWnerShip ard
Stbntro1." .-.,
The entire board found:
"A return to the antitrust
laws for the purpose of re.
storing competition we believe
to be one Of the greatest needs
Of the time"
General johnson asked the dis
solution of. the board as:
'Tt is of no service to any
body-it is a political sounding
board. In view Of its fixed
preiudices and partisanship and
It's unfair methods Of taking
and reporting on testimony. the
conclusion is inescapable that
the board is not proceeding in
good faith to fulfill its public
obligations.
=, INCAPABLE. HE SAYS
"Its continuance as an agency
of government would enable 1t
to promote private purposes at
the public expense, and in my
Judgment would impair serious
" the usefulness of the NRA.
The board is clearly incapable
of supplying fair and cOnstruc-
tive critics, and. therefore I
recommend it be abolished
forthwith"
Action of the Darrow report in
holding that there is no trend TO-
ward monopoly in the cleaning
and dyeing industry was regarded
with amazement by NRA officials
today.

in which the. Darrow board Of re-

Darrow Report
On Cleaners
Puzzles

Just WHO is prejudiced-the
Darrow board of review, or the
officials Of the NRA?
That was the question cur
rent in washington today, as
the long awaited and contro-
versial report and an answer
from General Hugh S. Johnson
were discussed on every hand.
Charges and counter charges
flew thick and fast. Opponents
of the NRA were cheered with
the scathing denunciation OF
the Blue Eagle by the veteran
lawyer and his board.
Administration leaders who
favor the NRA raised the hue
and cry of Communism.
Both sides were frankly puz-
Zled by one thing, the attitude
taken by the Darrow board on
the cleaners and dyers code, ad-
mittedly one of the hardest nuts
to crack.
This was the only service COD
which the Darrow board held to
be nonmonopolistic, while NRA
officials pointed to the rae
keteering and cut-throat tactics
which have marked this husi'
ness.
The Darrow board attacked
the NRA as expecting violators
of the law to sit in judgment
upon themselves and to con-
demn themselves.
This was answered by the
NRA with the counter thrust
that the board has deliberately
encouraged the presentation of
incompetent, misleading and
onesSided testimony"

RENEWING MIND
ENDS POVERTY.
LECTURER SAYS
Christian Science Leader
Speaks at CadIe
Tabernacle

A lecture on Christian Science
vas given at Cadle tabernacle last
night by Frank Bell, c. s. b. New
York, member Of the lectureship
board Of the Mother church, the
First Church Of Christ, Scientist.
Boston, Mass.
The lecture was given under the
auspices of the Second Church Of
Christ, Scientist, indianapolis.
Mr.. Bell, introduced by Mrs. Flora
NJ. Rauh. said. in part.
Christian Science heals poverty
in the same manner that sickness
and sin are healed, though the re-
newing of the mind, as St Paul
puts it. Inspired writer's repeatedly
have asserted that thought adjusted
to the divine nature will bear fruit
after its kind
Jesus gave the unfailing rule for
success when he said, seek We first
the kingdom of God, and His right
eouSness; and all these things shall
be added unto you. This kingdom,
the Master said, is within you, and
at hand; therefore. the individual
Christian has the right to feel that
the essential completeness Of real
ity is present, not absent, and only
needs TO be realized in order to be
enjoyed.
"A divinely intelligent and loving
creator has not made a man TO be
impoverished any more than to be
sick or sinful. Poverty, like disease
and sin, involves a mistaken sense
Of God and His work.
The evil quality Of poverty is not
that it makes men suffer, but that
it misrepresents God. The Chris
tian aim in overcoming poverty, as
in healing sickness and sin, is to
the glory of God Mere getting of
money would not glorify God, but
the demonstration of power over
material things through spiritual
understandings does magnify the
Lord.
The writer of Genesis affirms that
divine spirit has given man domin-
ion over earthly things. Jesus
proved this to be true and said his
followers should do likewise.
"One who for many years had
been distressingly limited in income
or salary found himself trying
vainly to use his early glimpses of
Christian Science to enlarge the
salary by some mysterious process.
Finally he saw that what needed to
be enlarged first was his under
standing of man as Gods image and
likeness. 1t was his narrow, pinched
sense of self that was bringing forth
perience."
