President Expected to Rush
His Whole Program of
National Recovery.
REPORTED DISPUTES
AWAIT HIS RETURN
Johnson Categorically Denies
There Has Been Break-Ques-

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt will be rsst1y
soon to unfold his plan for reorgani-
cation of the National Recovery Ad-
ministration along with plans to speed
up his entire recovery program.
This will be the first thing to which
the President turns his attention when
he returns late today from Carroll
ton, Ill, where he journeyed to attend
the funeral of Speaker Rainey.
No conferences have been arranged
for later today or tonight, but he
will start on a series of them tomor-
row.
Evidence Of Split.
Before he left Washington, he had
strong evidences of conflict among
his associates upon whom he has
been depending to work out the plans
in question. Therefore, he hopes to
reconcile the various differences exist
ing before leaving here Saturday to
set up temporary Summer White
House at his home on the Hudson,
where he probably will announce his
future plans.
Meanwhile the Associated Press re-
ported that administration officials
concerned with N. r. A. reorganiza-
ton admitted there is difference of
opinion over Transforming the emer-
gency recovery machine into a more
permanent outfit, but said published
reports of a split between Hugh s.
Johnson on one hand, and Donald
Richberg and Secretary Perkins on
the other were exaggerated. They
predicted an early settlement Of diff
ferences but refused to be quoted.
The crux of the dispute, it is
Claimed, lies in whether a board shall
rule ~ R. A., with the administrator
as subordinate, or whether the admin
istrator shall have real control, with
the board having advisory power only.
Richberg and Perkins Reticent.
Since Mr. Richberg and Miss Per-
kins have not been as talkative re-
garding their plans as has Gen.
johnson, nothing definitely is known
about them. The impression, though,
is that what they have in mind for
the future of the NJ r. A would
severely clip the wings of Gen. John
son. There are many In official

Roosevelt is finally won over to the
complete program of this group, Gen.
Johnson would necessarily sooner or
later disappear from the recovery pic
ture of the Roosevelt administration.
President Roosevelt has been con-
sistent in his policy of retaining mem
bers of his administration who have
been under fire or subject to any great
amount of criticism. Hence it is not
believed that Gen. johnson will leave
the N. r. A. in the immediate future.
President Roosevelt would see to this.
Richberg, director of the National
Emergency Council, which discussed
the reorganization with President
Roosevelt Tuesday before the latter
left for the Rainey funeral, expressed
confidence to an Associated Press re-
porter today the discussions would
proceed to a point of definite action,
but how rapid I don't know"
