Cen. JOHNSON
BIDS GOODBYE
TO NRA FORCE
Urges Continued Support
to Recovery-Discloses
He Planned to Retire

WASHINGTON Oct. l. - Gen.
Hugh S. johnson said goodbye to
the MIRA employees this afternoon
but urged them, in an emotion
choked voice, to give continued and
loyal support to those who succeed
him and whom he termed his good
friends. He will be on the job for
two weeks yet.
In his address he spoke of criti-
cisms and dead cats aimed at him
and asserted forcefully that the
principles of MIRA are right and
will continue to prevail.
Gen. Johnson disclosed that the
barrage of criticism hurled at him
last May caused him to consider
the plan of reorganization which
would mean the elimination OF
himself as the directing force, and
again on June 26 he mapped the
general reorganization plan and a
specific one on September 8. AL
these, he said, contemplated his re-
tirement.

Direct Issue Boiled Down
Now to For or Against
the New Deal
DEMOCRATS PLAN TO
! RETAIN HOUSE SEATS
r epu b licans Continue to
Blast Away with Var
ious Criticisms

WASHINGTON, Oct. with SO
days to go before the American
electorate writes the answer to the
main issues, the National political
cauldron has boiled down to the
direct "for or against" Franklin
ID. Roosevelt's New Deal.
The question of continuance OF
Roosevelt's reign Is sharply etched
across the nation in the contests
between The Democratic and Old
Guard Republican candidates for
Congress.
Democratic Plans
The Democrats are striving tc
return two-thirds majority in
the House, now that they are as
sured, as the result of the pri-
maries, control of the Senate in
the next Congress.
G. o. p. Criticizes
The Republicans on the other
hand are blasting away with criti-
cisms at the New Deal and tariff
in an effort to secure enough
House seats to block repetition OF
what they contend was log-rolling
of legislation in the last Congress
Lined-up for Race Nh,
With all primaries and conyen-
lions concluded, except in Rhode
Island, candidates for the 430 House
seats and SO Senate seats, as well
as 81 Governorships, are now line
up for the race on November to
the finish at the wire.

Food Profiteering Reported
Despite Increased Estimates !
of Canned Fruit, Vegetables

Consumers should keep the fol-
lowing facts in mind about fruits
and vegetables, Howe says:
/. There are ample quantities OF
fresh fruits and vegetables, so there
is no need to shift to canned va
rieties. Supplies are now coming
from the late" states, practically
untouched by the drought. This
winter supplies will be coming
from the south. Potato supplies are
as large as last year.
2. Some vegetables for canning
are grown in the drought states
but because more acres we're used
for them this year the drought af-
fected them only slightly.
3. Canned vegetable supplies In
1934-35 are expected to be nine
per cent greater than last year
Canned tomatoes will be IA per cent
above the average for the last five
years. Canned sweet corn, greer
peas and snap beans will be just a:
plentiful as last year.
4. Canned fruits as whole
probably viii be two percent great
er in supply than last year. Canned
pineapple and pears promise to b
more plentiful than the five-yeai

Farley and Morgentlau Are
Devoted to Roosevelt but
Act by Different Methods
BY BYRON PRICE
(Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press, Washington

Bed-FelloWs are making strange
politics in the Roosevelt admins
tration.
Consider the remarkable case of
Mr.. James A. Farley, the Post
master General, and Mr.. Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., the Secretary of
the Treasury.
The bond between them is some
thing more than is implied by the
mere fact that both are Cabinet
members. They are spiritual broth
ers in their personal devotion to
Mr.. Roosevelt-Almost their wor-
ship of him. In this they probably
excel all their cabinet colleagues.
Yet the relation of the two to
the present campaign and to poll
tics in the abstract is as different
as anything could be. Each has
gone his way with vengeance
and presumably with Mr.. Roose-
velt's blessing.

HE TOOK 1T LITERALLY

Morgenthau has literal mind
He took what the President said
very much to heart. He went just
as far in one direction as Farley
did in the other.
He not only kept out of the cam
Ipaign himself, but issued set OF
prohibitions to Treasury employees
everywhere, lifting them out Of
politics by the coat collar.
Treasury men were forbidden to
touch political organizations with
2o-foot poles. Almost they were for
hidden even to vote. It is difficult
reading a long list of don'ts. to es-
cape the impression of health Off
