A DRAGON

The local zoos chances Of secu-
ring one Of the famous dragon
lizards" recently brought to New
York, are rapidly diminishing.
DR.. william M. Mann, super
tntendent, said today he has
visited New York and taken a look
at the reptiles, but so far could
not see where the money was COM
ing from to buy one for the Wash
ington ZOO.
These so-called dragons" DR.
Mann says, have nothing to do
with tyranasaurus rex, the pre-
historic monster they so closely
resemble. In fact. to quote the
doctor:
"TyranaSauruS rex died four
million years ago last October
8, and rs far as science knows
has no living descendants. At
least I think it was the Sth.
but it may have been q day or
two sooner"
The creatures are really giant
monitors, smaller specimens Of
which the ZOO already has.
Sighs DR.. Mann:

expedition and get one myself.
But then, again, who is going
to nay for the expeditiOn?"

Senator Davis, it was declared,
brushed past the guard and made
his way to the stage.
Arguing that he was director
general Of the Moose, Senator
Davis refused to bulge from the
stage. A member Of the lodge
made a statement resented by
Davis and during a heated argu'
ment, it is said Senator Davis
called the Allentown man a liar
and other words passed that are
not proper in a drawing room.
Faced. with booS and Kisses the
Senator left the room while a
vote was taken which gave him
80 minutes to speak and he then
returned and spoke for 70 min.

After accusing. the review board
Of not investigating a single
code, of refusing to consider data,
Of suppressing testimony, and be-
ing guilty of false and unSup-
ported statements, General John
son asserted:
"ItS findings and recOmmen-

dominating members announced

munism straight from the book
OF Red Russia, and after that
proposed to batter down the

Il can understand the COM

sault on our whole system in
favor of the semi-barbaric afro

but the betrayal Of q great pub

accomplish q partisan end in
utter disregard Of the present

OVER NRA
: RACES ON ITS
BIRTHDAY
Codes Nearly All In, Johnson
to Devote Its Second Year
to Enforcement
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International Newa SePvlce

International News Service
The MIRA, biggest and most con-
troversial Of all the extraordinary
recovery acts, celebrated its first
birthday today while its friends
and detractors continued unabated
their year-old argument as to it's
merits.
In the IL months that have
passed since President Roosevelt
signed the act on June 16, 1888, a
total Of 463 codes have been drawn
up, affecting between 80 and 95
per cent Of American industry, and
there are still several important
industries uncodified.
Benefits Claimed
For the NRA is claimed these
results:
Cd Industry has been sta
bilized in a period Of great
national stress.
(2) Approximately 100000
workers have been put back to
work as q result of the codes.
60 Factory pay rolls have
been increased billions Of dol
lars annually.
a. Child labor has been
abolished.
MOnopOlies Charged
Against the NRA is charged
this:
Cd It has fostered monopoly
and virtually made dead let
ter of the various antitrust
laws.
(2) It has been cruelty op-
presSive to small business.
(3) Price-fixing has been
permitted to an extent where
the consumer has become the
forgotten man."
"a Lack of enforcement and
"chiselling" have combined to
nullify many Of its supposed
benefits.
The NRA still has another
year to go. The original act
gave it two years. If it is con-
tinued beyond that date Con-
gresS must give it a new lease on
life. The expectation now is
that Congress will continue it.
But it is recognized that this is
contingent upon many things
economic conditions during the
next twelve months. The No.
vember elections, and whether
business itself wishes it to con-
tinue.
Gen. Hugh S. johnson, its dy-
manic director, believes i" it will
continue. He says:
"The good in NRA will sur.
vive. The bad will perish"
johnson May Quit
How long General johnson,
around whose head have swirled
some Of the Severest storms of
the Administration will continue
to direct NRA is a question to
which there is no answer for the
present. He says himself he
doesn't know, and probably he
is right. In reply to questions,
he says:
81 didn't take this job for life.
but I'm going to stick as long
rs I am needed or the President
wants me-"
The impression, however, is gen.
eral in Washington that General
johnson will not be at the helm
Of the NRA many months longer.
He is essentially an organizer, and
the organization work, the spade
work, has been largely accom-
pliShed.
AS General johnson sees it, the
first year has been one Of organ
ization, and trial and error. The
next year is to be one Of consolida-
ton and enforcement.
The drastic licensing provision
Of the NRA, which empowered the
President to license every busi-
ness in the country and forbid it
to do business without such
license, expires as Of today-un-
less President Roosevelt makes
an eleventh hour decision to ex-
tend it by executive order.
