JOHNSON BEATS
 CRITICS TO GUN
 FIRST SESSION
MIRA Administrator Sud- denly Announces New
 l2-Point Program
REGULAR FIELD DAYS
 FOR COMPLAINTS OPEN
Code Revision Covering Many Issues Proposed
 If Justifiable


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. = Gen. Hugh s. Johnson beat NRA's as sembled critics to the gun by sud- denly unfolding a twelve-point pro- gram for revising existing codes, before the hundreds invited to make complaint could voice a single criticism
 NRA'S Administrator announced a wide code revision will be ef- fected if possible by a Presidential mandate embracing individual in- dustries.
 Gen. Johnson told the gathering of those called into a conference to register complaints at his field day for. criticism that there would be allowed notifications only if justification is shown in public hearings on code revision.
 Bigger Blue Eagle
 The -NFsA AdministrS tor further said that this probable change in code revision will be followed by a bigger Blue Eagle compliance cam paign to make the emblem in- dispensible to all businesses.
 We are going on as we began. These meetings are the first move in an attempt to close up the ranks for a new forward movement by MIRA so that no chance or cir ciunstance may stop it. said Gen. Johnson. The Administrator said that perhaps MIRA has fallen short in some respects but he is con- fident that the industrial program will march on.
 Twelve Corrections
 Administrator Johnson said he has already gathered data which would probably make twelve cor rections necessary for a more uni form and equitable rule of price stabilization, and prevention of cut-throat competition, a more eff fective rule to prevent sales below cost of production, unifority of wages and hours in industries which are competitive, uniform classification of areas for wage diff ferentials, providing further in crease in hourly wages, protection against monopoly, improved meth ods to secure compliance in code administration without racketeering, elimination of inconsistent and con- listing provisions in codes and an adequate labor and consumer rep resentation in an advisory capacity on code authorities, also wider use within the scope of groups for set ting of labor disputes.

ADMINISTRATION POLICIES GREAT AID ID ALASKA
Appropriations for Terri tory Total Nearly $6,-
 100000 for This Year


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-(Spec- ial Correspondence)-As the first year of the New Deal draws near its close the occasion is appropriate for summing up the effects of it's extension to Alaska.
 It is not pretended here that one who has been absent from the Territory nearly a year, as the present writer has been, can speak with the authority which continu- ous residence gives, but on the other hand, the Washington ob- server has access to facts and fig ures and implications of future trends denied those far from the seat of the national capital. And, as was aptly remarked recently, Washington has again become the national capital for the first time since the end of the World War.
 Administration Active
 The sevelt Administration seeks not only to bring an end to the business depression but to cure causes of depression by widespread changes in the body social. To date the first part of that pro- gram has been chiefly felt in AL aska. That the social aspects of the policy will be directed north ward in time is inevitable. Even now the blue eagle is lowering for a landing, to bring for the indus tries of the Territory better op- portunity for permanent well-being and to give workers the same bene- fits. Similarly, other agencies cal- culated to alter the manner of liv- ing under which America as a na- tion has failed to find an even economic level will not be denied entarnce to the Territory. It is the estimate of the writer, how ever, that the need for these agencies being markedly less in Alaska in it's status of compara- lively new country from the view points of American settlement and economic development, they will make their influence felt there in nowhere the same degree as the hard-presed industrial and agrarian sections of continental United States. It would seem, then, that their penetration into Alaska will come much more slowly and for that reason adjustment will be, in many cases, made much easier.
 Along the economic front a diff ferent story can be told An offen- sive by the Administration forces for recovery was made without delay. The figures tell the story. Nearly $50 is being expended for each resident of Alaska-children and adults-under allocations from the Roosevelt emergency adminis- trations. This, of course, does not take into account the regular ap- propriations from the Federal Gov ernment.

 Final administration of the code, originally set for March l, Eliel said, would be put over until such time as the employers and work CTS have had full opportunity to be heard.
 Meanwhile President Roosevelt approved the master fisheries code in Washington, but wages and hours remain to be fixed by the various regional codes.

MORE ACTION TODAY

Today the Senate rejected im- mediate cash payment of the sol- diers bonus which would cost s2.- 400, 100000, after adding more than $50,0O0,000 for veterans to the in- dependent offices appropriations bill.
 This brought the total in the bill to more than s1O0000O00 beyond Administration desires by adopting an amendment restoring to the rolls 29,000 veterans whose disa- bility is presumed to be of ser vice origin but who were taken off the rolls year ago by the Economy law.

WILL TRY To
CURB STRIKES
Continued On Page g.

WASHINGTON, July 49, W.R-
A concerted effort to stem the ris-
ing tide of industrial warfare was
expected following a weekend con-
ference of the national labor rela-
tions board with regional labor
boards here tomorrow to coordi-
nate arbitration efforts.
Indications were that despite
growing seriousness of the situa-
tions on the Pacific coast and at
Minneapolis the local mediation
groups would continue peace ef-
forts without intervention by the
national body.
However steps to strengthen the
national labor relations set-up
were thought certain in view of the
constant spread of disorder. Grow
ing violence in the San Francisco
region was viewed here with ap-
prehension as organization of a
general strike proceeded.
A regional labor board is active
in trying to prevent new strike
of Minneapolis truck drivers. IL
has been given full powers to act
by the national board.
