would be to provide respectable
living for men and women who

a revised food and drugs bill, sup

The new bill limits the extreme

sets up a committee on health and
a committee on food to share the
power to regulate the food and
drugs trade which in the first
draft was left entirely in the sec

The new draft also modifies the

n. {. DIRECTOR
OF RECOVERY
TO Be CHOSEN
Raleigh Wondering Wheth-
err Politician or Executive
Will Be Named
BY J. c. BASKERVILLE
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, Jan. 5.-Within the
next few days, certainly within a
week, President Roosevelt is ex-
pected to appoint some North
Carolinian as director of recovery
in North Carolina. at a salary of
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year, It
was learned from official sources
here today. Members of the State
recovery board have already re-
ceived letter from the President
that this board would be abolished
and that in it's place director Of
recovery would be appointed and
an advisory board, the members
of this board to be selected large
Iy from the personnel of the State
ard District recovery boards which
it will supercede.
1t will be the duty of this direc-
tor of recovery to enforce the va
rious NRA codes in the state, see
that they are being observed, hear
complaints and if necessary,
"crack down" on the violators. In
other words, the State director of
recovery will be a "little General
Johnson" with powers in the state
similar to the powers exercised
over the nation as a whole 5y
NRA Administrator Johnson. This
director will hold almost dictato-
rial powers within the state as far
as the enforcement of the MIA
codes are concerned. 1t is believed
that in many ways he will become
the most powerful federal appoln71
tee in the state. 1t is also agreed
that the job will be a very diff
cult and unpopular one and not
likely to better the political am
billions of whoever holds it.
This fact is naturally raising
the question of who will be APP
pointed to ia politician or some
one who has not been active Ill
politics but who is recognized as
having unusual executive ability
frmness, fairness and the grit
and capacity to hew to the line,
regardless of political consldera-
lions or of whose toes he may
tread on in enforcing the MA
codes. 1t is believed here that
President Roosevelt will seek this
latter type.
1t is currently reported here
that this post has already been
tentatively offered to Z. Leroy
Shipping Of Greensboro, former
campaign manager Tor oenator 81
w. Bailey. candidate for national
committeeman from this state and
