SOCIALISM IS SUGGESTED

Washington, May 2l.-R-Presi-
dent Roosevelt will permit the OAR
row board investigating NRA mo-
nopolies to 60 out Of existence upon
completion Of It's present work, ex-
pected In few days.
The report Of the board, excoriating
the NRA and advocating government
ownership and control Of industry.
was made public Sunday night.
The president offered no comment
on the clash between the board,
headed by Clarence barrow, and the
national recovery administration, d.
aected by Hugh 8. johnson.
The Darrow group will conclude its
work very quickly, thus disposing Of
the demand Of JOHNSON for the resig-
nation Of Darrow.
Nye Supports Darrow
Senator Nye Rep., N. d., whose
criticisms led to creation Of the board,
told reporters Monday that q hurried
perusal Of the boards report showed
many Of the codes are working de-
struction for small business and en-
trenching monopoly"

plete study Of the report and Admin
istrator Johnson's reply, but he dc
tated the following statement to
newspapermen:
Lay aside all the superfluous and
one thing stands out prominently;
the findings Of the majority and MI
nority show that many Of the codes
are working destruction for small
business and entrenching monopoly.
Complete digest Of the report and
response has not yet been my privi-
lege, but if the MIRA response as writ
ten by Mr.. Rosenblatt on the moving
picture industry code is q reflection
Of the general response, then that re-
Spouse must be masterpiece Of eva
sion and confusion.
1.-THE thing that bewilders me this
morning IS the absence Of documents
! expected would be released to the
press and public. When the review
board report went to the White House
the president submitted it to NRA
the federal trade commission, and the
justice department for study and re-
port. Why has only the response Of
NRA been given out?"
Nye said he had not been invited
to the White House to discuss the
boards H.dings.
The board, which had been asked
by President Roosevelt to review the
practices Of the national recovery ad-
ministration, stabbed at the heart Of
NRAs principles Of industrial codes
by saying:
"All competition is savage, wolfist1
and relentless and can be nothing
else. One may as well dream Of max
