HEAD
MAKES REPLY
To MAGAZINE

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Edward A.
Hayes. national commander of the
American legion. replied last night
to charges by DR.. Henry GODDARD
Leach in the Forum magazine that
the legion has plundered the fed
eral treasury.
Hayes said in a nation-wid ad-
dress that Leach spoke either in
"abysmal ignorance or with an in
tention to deceive" The legion.
he said, never has sought COM
pensation for anything but SER
vice disabilities.
The legion chief avoided direct
reference TO Leach who challen-
ged him in a previous broadcast
TO answer a set of questions about
legion activities, but the questions
themselves were answered directly.
Dr.. Leach asserted that the leg
ion maintained lobby that in
timidated and cajoled senator's and
congressman with promises OF
votes"
He asked if it we're true that a
war insurance act introduced IN
congress by Newton D. Baker,
former secretary. was intended TO
thwart legion demands. He asked
Hayes whether he believed $50 a
month to be ample compensation
for war widows.
"Figuratively," Hayes answered,
you spit in the faces of the com
pensated war veterans and insult
63 senators and 3l0 members OF
the house of representatives.
THE legion never has Spon-
sored legislation for pensions for
living war veterans.
Most of the so-called genuine
war widows are the recipients OF
war insurance policies providing
$3.50 a month" Hayes said. He
said he thought that. plus $50
pension was not all that might be
desired but added he had heard
few complaints.

INVESTIGATION
Of CODES To
Be THOROU Gil

WASHINGTON, Oct. S. up
Price and production controls of
codes, cause of much Of NRA COM
plications and difficulties, are to be
investigated. industry by industry,
by the new recovery board.
DeSirability OF gradually work
ing out these problems according
to individual industry needs rather
than by sweeping changes in gen.
eral policy was emphasized yester-
day by Donald Richberg, coordina-
tor of new deal" agencies, speak
ing before the Press club.
The NIRB, continuing its study
of the basic questions involved in
the code structure it took over ear
" this week. indicated conferences
with division administrators would
begin soon 10 get at specific trou-
bleS of almost 700 industrial groups
Richberg expressed the necessity,
in some instances, of preventing
destructive price-cutting and put
ting some controls on production.
He said businessmen "are coming
to realize that they had better
come nearer TO the sound competi-
tive system on which they were
WORKING
He pointed out that NRA, through
public supervision, can make "ai
authoritative distinction between
combinations to protect fair com.
petition and combinations to elim-
mate competition -
Richberg said the N1RB will de-
velop administrative policies. seek
ing presidential approval for more
important ones. and put them into
effect. Only where policies Of NRA
involve other government agencies
will Richberg's coordinating COM
mittee step in. he said.
The greatest danger to NRA and
its program, Richberg thinks, lies
with :intolerant partisans' among
business men ana labor leaders.

BARGAIN TARIFF
BILL HELD UP
BY {. D. P.
by WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON
BY International News Service

by INTERNATIONAL news service
Charging that President Roose.
velt's reciprocal tariff bill places
scores of American industries at
the mercy of the Administration,
the Republican opposition today
redoubled its Senate drive to force
publication of a secret commercial
treaty with Colombia.
It's publication, the Republicans
charged, would reveal how the Az.
ministration plans to slash tariff
duties in order to increase Amer
ica's foreign trade in some COM
modities, while running the domeS-
tic market for other home prod
ucts.
State Department Willing
The State Department has
agreed to make it public "if the
government of Colombia consents.
Senator Hatfield (R0 OF West
Virginia, who introduced a resolu'
tion calling for publication OF its
contents, declared knowledge OF
the treaty would defeat the re-
eiprocal bill.
Runors have persisted in the
Capitol that the treaty calls Tor
a SO per cent slash in the Amer
ican tariffs on petroleum, gasoline
and cattle hides. These products
constituted the bulk OF Colon
bian exports to the United states
in the last decade.
Simple concessions to COLOMBIA
would not, concern the Republican
opposition so deeply. were it not
for 20 favored nations" treaties
imposing on the United States
the obligation to grant each OF
the 20 nations the same conces'
sions given Colombia or any other
country.
Much for Little
The Republicans charged the
Colombian treaty would result IN
a slash of American tariff duties
to the world in return for some
slight concessions from Colombia.
They pointed out that in 1880, an
average year, Colombia imported
only $27 7,536,000 in American goods
while exporting $88,460,000 of its
own products to the United
States.
In that year.. Colombian exports
to the United States included
419,714,000 pounds of coffee, val
