MILLS FLAYED
BY JOHNSON
NRA Chief Launches Bitter At
tack On Former Secretary Of
Treasury.
BY LYLE A. BROOKOVER
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 1. U.H -
The Darrow NRA review board
functioned as usual today although
it was to have died at midnight
last night.
President Roosevelt had an
nounced the board would go out of
existence May 81, but if the board
was abolished, the members and
staff have not been notified.
The board appeared oblivious al
report by Hugh S. Johnson, NRA
administrator. Johnson, speaking
before the National Catholic Alum
nj federation, called the report "the
most audacious perversions of the
truth ever presented to the Ameri-
can people"
Far from depressing the little
fellow" said johnson, "our records
show that NRA has not only halt
ed this tendency in its track but
has squarely reversed it.
I'm the first 48 hours after the
Darrow report we received 1000 lit
tie fellow letters of violent protest
against the report.
Just think OF 1.-THE greatest
forward social movement of our
! day and age is to be sabotaged to
advance the selfish political inter-
est of a handful of demagogues If
these are strong words, the occasion
warrants them"
Scores RECOMMENDATION
'"The other day at White Plains,
N. Y, Ogden Mills accused the adj
ministration of attempting to regi-
ment American industry. I don't
know where that word 'regimenta-
ton came from; only know that
there is no code under NRA that
was not proposed by the industry
it governs. Those industries may
be attempting to regiment them
selves, but the government has not
asked any such thing of them.
But the irony-the impertinence
the impudence of Ogden Mills in
criticizing them for it, passeth un-
derstanding.
"He was the mouthpiece Of a
crew that didn't reorganize or re-
construct or regiment American in
dustry-all they id to it was ruin
it. They deserve credit for the su-
preme accomplishment. No such
wreckage was ever accomplished
since Rome leveled the walls of
Carthage and strewed the wreck
with salt.
But Ogden Mills school of
thought prophesied that grass would
grow in the street if Roosevelt were
elected. Did you ever hear them ad-
vocate anything that did not slant
toward the aggrandizement of the
strong and the suppression of the
weak? You never did and you
never will"

Gonzales, 26, Is showing much
improvement in recovering from
wounds inflicted during a fight
which took place in front of the
New China cafe here at 7:30 o'clock

his condition was considered SER
ious as he was suffering from a
bad scalp cut, conclusion of the
brain and possible skull fracture.
According to the police report
Gonzales was struck over the head
with either an automobile crank
or a wrench by another Mexican
who had jumped from passing
car to commit the assault. Later
Osvaldo and Gregorio Valenzuela
with Ramon Ramirez were arrested
by police and charged with sus-
picion of assault. This morning
Osvaldo is said to have told police
that he alone was responsible for
the affair and the other two were
released from custody.
The quarrel and assault are said
to have had their origin in jeal-
ousy over a Mexican woman. The
latter, when questioned by police,
is said to have attempted to shield
the arrested men by saying that
Gonzales was not struck on the
head but had fallen through a
plate glass window at the cafe.
Other witnesses, however, gave a
different story of the affair say
ing that Gonzales had been hit
