agreed that the Agricultural Adjust
ment program has been a complete
failure. The Democrats, with the exeep-
ton of Connally. made no reply to the
verbal barrage.
The Ohio senator said that hog
prices had fallen instead of rising,
that the prices Of farm commodities
not under the AAA had in many cases
risen faster and higher than the So
called basic commodities.
THAT sort of thing is nauseating to
any decent person who wants business
to be dane in a business way" he said,

Senator vandenberg and Senator
McNary could not understand why
S200,0O0O00 were required for cattle
when only s1O0,0O0,000 were asked in
the original bill covering six com
modities.
They suggested that benefits were
to be paid before a processing tax was
levied and that perhaps no processing
tax was intended to be levied on cat
tie. Senator Connally fumed, but
could not answer their queries.

(EVERAL thousand members OF the
- code authorities gathered In Con
: stitution hall, Washington at the cnll
OF the President te revise and
strengthen NRA Industrial agree
ments. The opening session was for
NAL and rather stately, with the mem
bers of the cabinet. other high govern
ment officials and many senators and
congressman present Before this as
sembly came Mr.. Roosevelt to tell not
so much what had been accomplished
in the last twelvemonth as what he
hoped for In the near future. He
warned the industrial leaders that
"the government cannot forever con-
tinue to absorb the whole burden Of
unemployment" He called for great
er protection Of small business, term
ing the code authority "the keeper Of
your small industrial brother"
Briefly summarized, this is what Mr..
Roosevelt proposed:
Wage increases and shortening of
hours to bolster consuming power and
spread employment
Greater adherence by the people to
the Blue Eagle symbol to make all
"play the game"
trust laws to retain competition and
prevent monopoly.
Strict adherence by employers to the
law allowing free choice by employees
of representatives to do their collective
bargaining.
Permanent reorganization of the
economic and social structure along
the lines already started.
General johnson, NRA administra-
tor, wound up the code authority ses-
sions with the blunt announcement
that the Blue Eagle rules were to be
frightened up and the assertion: II
have been too gentle You amt seen
nothing yet" Urging the Industrial
lists to play the game fairly. the gen.
eral uttered three warnings, One was
that under specific orders from the
President the MIRA was recognizing
to enforce the penal sections of the
act; the second, that the country
faces this spring "the worst epidemic
of strikes In our history because Of
Illegal interposition of employers in the
matter of company unions; the third,
that, with the recent Supreme court
decision unfolding the New York state
emergency milk law. the administra-
ton has dropped all hesitation, and is
ready to use the powers of the indus
trial law to the limit If opposition
forces 1t.
To draft his new plan for making
more jobs, Johnson asked the code
authorities of the heavy goods indus
tries and of the consumer groups to
select twelve men each.
President Roosevelt, said the admin
istrator, has approved the plan for put
ting teeth in the MIRA. The President
himself intimated that he would ask
congress to extend the time limit
on the licensing provisions of the
MIRA. The act gives authority to
the President to place any industry
under license and to revoke the license
of any concern in the industry, thereby
compelling It to shut down. This au-
thority to license expires next June
under the terms of the recovery act
which granted 1t for one year only,
whereas the life of the act was limited
to two years.

pistol from a guard, took Sheriff Lii
liam Holley's car from the garage and
drove away with negro murderer.
They took one deputy sheriff and a
garage attendant as hostages but re-
leased them near Peotone, Ill, and
then vanished. 1t was believed Dillin-
ger was hidden somewhere In the
vicinity of Chicago. The law authori-
ties Of the Middle West were all
searching for him, and all officers had
orders to kill him at sight.
Sheriff Holley's ear was found aban-
doned on a street in Chicago.
This escape of the desperate was
one of the boldest performances of his
career, and 1t is amazing to consider
how it could have been successfully
carried out, in view of Dillinger's
record. Perhaps some sympathy is
due the woman sheriff, Mrs. Holley,
who was given that office after the
death of her husband. Terribly de-
pressed by the fiasco, she made the
futile gesture of strapping an auto
matte about her waist and setting out
to find Dilllnger.
Mrs. Holley declared she would not
resign her office. but steps were taken
to force her out by court action. Two
of her deputies were arrested, charged
with aiding and abetting the escape.
The investigations and recrimmina'
tons in Lake county are unfortunate.

LEGISLATION to restore the air
mail to commercial operators will
speedily be started through congress
al the Instance Of the President lie
sent letters to Chairman Mcclellan of
the semitic post office committee, Chair
man Mead OF the house postal com.
mittee and Chairman Black of the
special senate committee investigating
the air mail, IN which he outlined his
plan for new temporary contracts and
the eventual regulation Of air mail
rates and routes by the interstate
commerce committee.
The new policy will be for contracts
to be let for not more than three
years "on full, open and fair competi
tive bidding, with limitation of the
rates of compensation above which no
contract will be awarded"
The legislation carrying the pro-
gram into effect, Senator Mcclellan in
dicated, will fix the limit of compensa-
tion mentioned by the President far
below the prevailing 40 cents per mile.
The figure, the senator said. may be as
low as % cents.
Six months before the three year
contract expires, according to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's suggestion, the ques-
ton of the public convenience and ne
cessity Of the various routes and the
question of maximum rate of pay
would be submitted to the ICC. Under
this plan transportation of the mails by
air would be placed under substantially
the same regulation as that of the
railroads.
