LUMBER INDUSTRY
DROPS SPR|CEF
AS FUTILE POLICY
Suspension of Provision in
Code by Order of N. R. A.
Is First.
BY THEODORE C. WALLEN.

The first basic industry to admit
failure of its own price fixing expert
ment under the New Deal was named
last night in an N. r. A. order sus-
pending minimum prices in the lum-
Der code. In the face Of wholesale
violations, 1t was oficially announced
that schedule of more than 1.ooo,-
900 prices was unenforceable.
The National Industrial Recovery
Board in q sweeping order cancelled all
the minimum price provisions in the
lumber code. However, production
control, which was regarded as an
indirect method Of sustaining prices,
was left In the code and the board
called attention to the fact that the
protection control clause remain "in
full force and effect"
For the present the protection con-
troll provisions are not considered q
thoroughly effective means of holding
up prices because of the existence Of
a large suprlus Of lumber which has
piled up during the last year in
spite of the progressive restriction
of production.
The inclusion of price fixing in the
lumber code was. the result in the
first instance of an overwhelming de-
mand for it from the industry with
the avowed view to protecting natural
resources and protecting the industry
from self-destruction from abnormally
low prices.
The original code increased lumber
prices about As per cent. Later, as
consumption failed to keep pace with
production, prices were brought down
on an average of about IS per cent.
The high cost of lumber, even after
these reductions. has been considered

MISS PERKINS HIT
AT PENSION PLAN
Apparently Shuns Townsend
Age Benefit by Asking States
to Take Lead.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An apparent rap at the Townsend
old-age pension plan was delivered by
Secretary of Labor Perkins yesterday
during an appeal for States to enact
unemployment insurance. legislation
and pension laws for the aged this
Winter.
The Secretary did not directly men,
ton the Townsend proposal, which
calls for pension of 5000 a month
to all over so, but there seemed no
doubt that she had the plan in mind.
Actual study of these visionary and
fantastic schemes at once discloses
their complete impracticability," Miss
Perkins said.
The sincere friends of old people
should at this time direct all their
energies to strengthening and improv-
ing old-age pension laws"
Pleading for support of State legis-
lation for unemployment insurance
and old-age pensions at the coming
sessions Of the State Legislature, she
said:
There should be no hesitancy on
the part Of the States now. Federal
legislation along these lines will, in
accordance with the requirements of
our Constitution, allow the States the
fullest measure of freedom to meet
their problems as they think best"

to Permit Release of About
$500 to Veterans.
DATES CERTIFICATES
BACK TO END OF WAR
Proposal Would Close Accounts
and Terminate Interest Which
Otherwise Runs to 1945.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A new soldiers bonus proposal,
which would result in the payment Of
sl,200. .000, 900 in cash to veterans,
took a high place last night on the
the administration.
Informed sources, who declined to
be quoted by name, said the scheme
had been given careful study by off,
cials familiar with the troublesome
issue. The plans initiators contend
it would settle the question and save
the Treasury billion dollars besides.
The proposition calls for the certifi-
Gates TO be paid in 1885 and the law
would be amended so they would date
from Armistice day, 1918, instead of
1925, as at present. The certificates,
under existing legislation, would ma
ture in 1945, but the bonus group
wants immediate payment.
17-Year Maturity.
On this basis the certificates would
be paid on a maturity of II years, in
stead Of 20, as proposed in the Patman
bill.
Advocates of the plan argue that If
the date of the certificates were moved
back veterans would receive all but
three years Of interest on the certifi.
Gates If they were paid in 1885.
One Of those who is supporting the
proposal outlined the situation thus:
The average certificate is around
81 900. About 80 per cent Of the vet
alraaIxy hot LArro,-nI
cent Of the total value. Under our
proposition. veteran who had bor-
rowed $500 on a $1,000 certificate
would receive about $500 cash.
1T is roughly figured that this
would cost about $1,000, ,000, 900 and
would save the Government s1,0oo,-
000. 900"
Figuresson the actual COST however,
are being compiled by the Veterans
Bureau at the request of certain con-
servative administration followers on
Capitol Hill. who say that some sort
Of bonus legislation Is certain to pass
the new Congress.
The proposal already has been dis
cussed in general terms with Repre-
sentative Patman, Democrat, of Texas,
author Of the bonus bill calling for
full payment of the certificates
amounting to $4,000, ,000, ,000-next
year.
Patman has said that the time to
discuss compromises is in the event
Of a presidential veto.
Thus far, the administration has
frowned on such measures as the
Patman bill. However, the report has
been widely circulated that the Presi-
dent would not oppose a bill to pay
needy veterans.

No end of minor complications have
arisen over the Norris lame-duck
amendment.
Members-elect to the Seventy
fourth Congress convening January 3
are finding out what they are.
The 110 retiring House members and
13 Senators and those reelected have
found that they are going to lose two
months of salary. They also find they
have no rooms into which to move be-
fore Congress meets. The retiring law
makers have the right to keep them
until then.
Virtually all complain that the date
of the session is too near the New
Year holiday. It has forced the Re
publicans and Democrats TO hold their
organization caucuses the day after
New Year.
The Seventy-fourth Congress is the
first to organize under the lame-duck
amendment. Before the amendment

adopted. the new Congress did not
