OPEN BREACH WITH
TRADE BODY LOOMS

WASHINGTON, July II. (UP)
A feud between the NRA and the
Federal Trade commission, which
has been under cover for months,
is expected to break into the open
soon and profoundly affect the fu-
ture of the recovery administra-
ton.
The NRA has been bitter ever
since the trade commission sent
to the senate a report criticizing
the steel code on the grounds that
it created a price-fxing monopoly
and oppressed small units of the
industry.
NRA now has asked the trade
commission to rule on two of it's
principal problems:

The department of agriculture
sorrowfully trotted out is vocabu-

HUGH JOHNSON
READY TO QUIT
AS NRA CHIEF
Has Recommended Roose.
welt Name Non-Partisan
Group as Successor
NRA TRADE GROUP
FEUD SOON TO BREAK

WASHINGTON, July II. (UP)
General Hugh S. Johnson is ready
to step down from his turbulent
throne as boss of the MIA and
has recommended to President
Roosevelt that the vast recovery
unit be ruled by non-partisan
commission, he said last night.
Refreshed after a weeks rest
in New York, the ruddy-faced, re-
tired army officer lowered his eye
glasses to the tip of his nose and
chatted amicably with newspaper
correspondents as he outlined his
hopes for the future of the MIA
He explained he was anxious
to get away" but in the next
breath emphasized he would stay
on the job as long as "the presl-
dent thinks he needs me-"
Don't any of you birds get
the idea that I'm getting out-or
anything like that" he cautioned.
As though this were not suffi-
Gent warning to the press, john
son denied vigorously a newspa-
per story that he was preparing
to turn over control of the MIA
to a group of five of his subordi-
mates.
"That's the bunk" he said.
Leaning back in comfortable
chair in his air-cooled office, john
son explained he had prepared
definite recommendations on the
future administration of NRA and
had submitted them to President
Roosevelt before he departed on
his ocean cruise.
81 told the president that this
is not a one-man job anv more,
he said. 81 recommended a non
partisan board or commission to
provide more balance as the NRA
passes into the field of admins
tration.'
Would Johnson serve on the
commission?
"Not if l can avoid it, but that's
up to the president" he said.
Any commission or board Gre
ated under the new plan, Johnson
emphasized, will maintain its veto
power over industry as long as
the NRA exists. There will be no
reorganization, he added, that
does not retain that principle.
Johnson is hopeful that the
new administrative set-up, if ap-
proved by the president, can be
put into effect within go days.
