PLAIN TALK IS GIVEN INDUSTRY
 AT BIC SESSION
President Tells Gathering
 of NRA Code Author ities What to Do
REDUCTION OF WORK HOURS IS ADVOCATED
Protection for Small Busi- ness Cove rnment
 Takes Firm Stand

WASHINGTON, March ,. Roosevelt today presented to assembled NRA code authorities a summons for further reduction in work ing hours as means to spread employment.
 "I give to industry this challenge-it is the immed- fate task of industry to re- employ more people at pur- chasing wages and do it now.
 ''Only thus can we continue recovery and restore the bal ance we seek. It is worth while keeping to the front of our heads the thought that people whose incomes are less than S2,000 yearly buy more than twO-thirds of all goods sold in this country. It is og ical that if the total amount that goes in wages to this group is steadily in- creased, then merchants, em- IplOyers and investors will in the long run get more income from the increased volume of sales"
 Nations Choice
 The President said a year ago today the nation was suffering and shrinking under economic pres sures so intolerable that a col- lapse was at hand but we ar rived at day to make our choice. We have made that choice. The American people have responded to the call for action with eager enlistment in the struggle against the ruthless self-seeking reckless greed and economic anarchy.
 We undertook by lawful consti- tutional processes to reorganize the disintegrating system of production and exchange. The purpose of this reorganization is not only to. bring back prosperity but something far deeper-the reorganization must be permanent for all the rest of our lives in that never again will we permit social conditions, which were permitted in vast sections of our

ELLENSBURG, Wash, March 5 - The Democratic State Central Committee called for the heads of five prominent officials at meet ing held here. E

Rugge, head of the Northern State ospital at Sedro Woolley.

Sunny Haly" Cro,os Dark to
 Americans; Dollars Sun Sets

ROME, March 5A.EEsalfs4iyy- Many dollar dependent Americans have desert- cd sunny Italy and gone back to the United States in search of a cheerier economic climate.
 Before the dollar drop in April, 1883, American residents and tour ists were able to convert their cur rency at the rate of about 1850 lire for each dollar. Thereafter American money kept slithering until those depending on incomes from the United States estimated their exchange losses at 40 per cent.
 No Lining To Money Cloud
 A hoped for readjustment of the lire to the dollars level failed to transpire. Those who held on to villas, apartments or hotel suites in the expectation that the dollar would crawl back to reason able" ratio with the lire, saw President Roosevelt's recent stabi- lization merely preserve the status quo of their exchange losses.
 Even a talked of lateral cut in Italian wages and prices has failed to materialize for the comfort of Americans.
 Visible effects of the prolonged exchange difficulty abound. In Florence-baromet city of the influx and exodus of English and American visitors-the American colony has decreased by half since last April
 Dozens of American automobiles are available at absurdly low prices in Rome's big garages. They have been forfeited by American visitors who found that dollars would not buy enough highly-taxed Italian gasoline or pay enough on the sizable circulation taxes, to make motoring a pleasure.
 Apartments of the more palatial type in sections favored by English and Americans have been gather ing dust since a precipitous search started last spring for less costly abodes.
 Hotel and restaurant managers complain of the depreciated dollar as bitterly as the perennial Ameri- can seeker for a kindly existence among the natives" on a green back pittance. One tea room pro- prietor who specialized in Ameri- can trade, recently grew weary of waiting for the usual winter flock of tourists, ran partition through his establishment and offered a half of it for rent.
