BARROW REPORT CALLSFOR
SUBSTITUTION OF SOCIALISM
FOR NRA; STARTS BIG ROW
Johnson in Turn Urges
Abolition of the OAR
row Board
BY H. o. THOMPSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 81. (UP)
Clarence barrow, grey old master
of the defense told the American
people today that their only hope
was substitution of Socialism for
the NRA.
And as so often in the past,
the blunt, bitter words Of the
fighting counsel set controversy
stofming across the country. OAR
rows latest and probably his last
effort for principles he holds dear
seemed destined to become his
most famous.
"The hope of the American
people," he said in the report Of
his National Recovery Review
board on the NRA, "lies in the
planned use of Americas re-
sources following socialization."
Recovery Administrator Hugh
S. Johnson led the attack with a
Philippe charging:
"a more superficial, intemper-
ate and inaccurate document than
the report, l have never seen.'
Johnson called for abolition of
the barrow board. barrow wants
the NRA abolished, and the fed
eral trade commission substituted
in its place.
The part the report would play
in congressional debate and the
fall elections was uncertain. But
one thing appeared inevitable
that the NRA was in for such a
discussion and denomination as
governmental agencies have sell
dom had.
at was noted that of specific
complaints made by the barrow
board concerning the several
codes studied the NRA has al
ready acted in number of in
stances to remove the grounds of
criticism.
First newspaper editorial criti-
cism was siding with Johnson in
his claim that the barrow board
had failed in it's objective which
was the protection of the small
business man against advantages
Of large firms created by the re-
covery act.
Joining the broadside against
barrow, with as fiery criticism as
the 77-year-old attorney has
evoked since the day of his los
ing battle against William Jen-
nings Bryan in the Tennessee
evolution trial, were Donald Rich
berg, once Darrow's colleague
and other officers of the NRA.
barrow today was in his old
role again, the familiar mantle
of counsel for the defense, his
defense of the small business
man was an indictment of the
MIRA.
The count he brought against
the NRA was that:
Big business dominates the
NRA, allowing the growth of
monopoly and choking of small
businesses.
Each of the NRA codes studied
suffers due to poo radministra-
ton.
The NRA Expresses consumers
through sanction of higher prices.
barrow was winding up his
WASHINGTON affairs today. He
little impressed by the
newest sensation he had created.

Of the men to 60 to work with the

Hickerson, accompanied by George
Altman and James j. Beatty, visited
the White House before Mr.. Howe
reached the executive offices. After
waiting for some time, they managed

and were told to see Gen. Frank T.
Hines, veterans administrator.
They left for the Veterans Admin
istration building to seek the inter-
view, and announced meanwhile that
they plan to remain until Sunday
at all costs.
After a conference of more than an
hour with Gen. Hines and A. D.
Hitler, his administrative assistant,
the committee left without permis-
sion to remain at Fort Hunt after
today. The committee, however, said
they were still hopeful of obtaining
more time and Gen. Hines gave them
second appointment after lunch.
The Civilian Conservation Corps
unit, previously housed at Fort Hunt,
is expected to move back into camp
tomorrow unless the Government
grants the ex-service men more time
to finish their convention. During
the stay OF the veterans the c. G.. G.
company has been temporarily quar-
tered at Fort Humphreys.
The experience complained of today
by the leaders is similar to that of a
year ago, when the Government
waived age limits and invited the
veterans into the C. C. G.. Almost
1 1.500 men left the ranks of the bonus
marchers then, and it is expected
more than half Of the present bonus
army will follow their example.

told them the bonus bill probably
will pass the Senate If it can be taken
out of committee. Arens cautioned
them to continue to carry on their
demonstration in an orderly manner.
