FORD IS REPORTED
SUPPORTING N. R. A.
Believes Absolutely in Ideal
Behind Movement, He
Says at Detroit.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, January 1.-THE New
York Times, in dispatch from Detroit
today, said Henry Ford expressed COM
plete belief in the ideal behind the
N. r. A.
The dispatch recounted an interview
obtained by Harold N Denny of the
Times staff in one of the Offices of the
Ford engineering laboratories. and the
motor car manufacturer was quoted as
saying Of the N. r. A:
There is no possible way for them
to do any HARM" and later-"The N. r.
A. is being improved. We believe abso-
lutely in what it is trying to do. There
we're possibilities of harm at the begin
ming, but somebody with good sense
seems 10 have stepped in"
Fundamentals Not Asked"
Further on, he was quoted:
so, up to the present time we have
believed absolutely in the ideal behind
the N. r. A. But the N. r. A. hasn't
tackled the fundamentals yet, there's
been too much selfishness in the sup
port of it. Some interests thought they
could use the N. r. A. to start a new
trade trust and run out the inde-
pendents
We'll, it didn't work. But N. r. A.
didn't stop them-the independents did
You can't squash people out. nde-
pendence is part Of every American. And
1t has not been responsible for any of
our ins-our loss of independence is
what causes trouble.
But If these supporters of the N. r.
A keep on trying to crush competition
they'll get left. Competition furnishes
the incentive for people to rise, for
genius to come up
Retain Money System"
Ford said the new era will not be in
the hands of the people who try to
do things in the same old way" and
he denounced what he called the con-
centrat1on OF attention on money by
the N. R. A. supporters.
They are trying to hang on to the
money system" he was quoted. They
are trying to rebuild things in the same
old circle. And it can't be done. We
have got to break out OF that circle II
we're going to get anywhere"
Departure of the United States from
the gold standard doesn't interest me.
That's just part of the superstition of
money. People accept gold because it
looks good to them
There is some terrible fallacy in the
price system" he said, something hu-
manly wrong. The N. R. A. is tied up
with the price system and so is begin
ming at the wrong end of the problem"
We have never seen any overproduc-
ton of anything" the manufacturer was
further quoted There is no over
production of wheat when men are
hungry in the streets. Our breakdown
is in our system Of distribution"

What's What
Behind News
in Capital
Co-ops Taking Cream
OF Profits of
Milk Trade
BY PAUL MALLON.

"HIS new milk policy has a clever
hidden curve In 1t, aimed at
certain farm cooperative outfits.
i The Wallace-Tugwen crowd
has been going through the
books of some Of these associations and
discovered a lot of lost cream.
One such coop in the East has &C
cumulated surplus of 100000. Imagine
q farmer cooperative association ac-
cumulating that much profit in these
times, with the farmer complaining
about low prices and the consumer
bowling about the high cost to him.
Another coop in the MidWeSt
cached q creamy s150,000 in sur
pluses 1t decided to 90 into the
cheese business and built q
factory.
That may seem to be good place
to put such money, but the new dealers
are trying to figure out whether 1t is
a proper function for a coop to try
to run cheese factory. They suspect
the best place to have put the money
right now IS in the farmers pocket.
Considerable farm purchasing power
could be created If these surpluses
were distributed. or at least If the
co-ops were stopped from piling up
more.

|SKYSCRAPER FIGHT
| CL|MAXED BY SUIT
$10,000,000 Action Against
Rockefeller in New Note
in Titanic Conflict.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January ia 10
million-dollar suit aimed at John d.
Rockefeller. jr., and associates, Is the
latest evidence of the titanic struggle
to I'LL vast empty spaces in the cloud
capped towers Of Manhattan.
The legal action re-emphasizes the
troubles which-since the advent of the
business slump-have beset the men
who etched their pinnacles of steel and
stone against the New York sky.
The suit-one of the strangest that
ever issued from the real estate marts--
Is brought by August Heckscher. 85-
year-old multi-millionaire and philan-
thropist. He has been called one Of
the largest-if not actually the largest
individual holders of real estate in
New York.
Unfairness Is Charged.
Unfair competition is the burden of
his complaint. He charges in papers
filed yesterday that Rockefeller Center,
gigantic amusement and business CEN
ter built on Fifth avenue in the f1fties,
has been Turing or coercing tenants
away from his skyscrapers in the Grand
Central zone to the newer skyscrapers
Of Rockefeller Center.
Specifically, he says Rockefeller
agents induced tenants to ignore their
present leases and move to Rockefeller
Center, either by payment of money or
by assuming the leases and later offer
ing the acquired spaces at rentals lower
than those the owner had established.
He also charges Rockefeller associates
are compelling businesses in which
they have interests to vacate leases and
move to Rockefeller Center Finally,
he says, small shops, because Of de-
population Of buildings in which they
have been located, have been forced to
follow the lead Of other tenants and
move.
Boom Caught Builders.
The mushroom growth of the sky
scraper-a form Of building which has
its critics as well as its advocates among
architects. planners and other experts
was in full swing when the turn of the
business cycle sent the real estate mar
ket tobogganing.
Thousands of Offices began to empty
under the impact of the crash. Mat
tiers were complicated as new, bigger
and taller buildings, started or pro-
jected toward the end of the boom.
reached completion. The completion
OF the big brother of them all-the En-
pire State Building. of which Alfred E.
Smith is head-threw more skyscraper
space on an already glutted market.
Center Intensified Fight.
Then along came Rockefeller Center,
with a whole group of skyscrapers and
shorter buildings. The struggle to rent
space tended TO intensity.
Observers are divided as to the fu-
ture OF the skyscraper idea in America.
Some have contended that it has about
reached its peak development, and that
the trend will be toward shorter, diff
ferent buildings distributed over larger
areas. Others, like Smith, foresee more
skyscrapers, if not actually loftier ones.

Their hopes of obtaining funds
to carry on an extensive PWA

ference with Secretary of Interior

moved swiftly today to have leg
islation enacted that will permit

They will go to the Capitol for
a conference with Senator Will

Senate District Committee, and
Representative Mary T. Norton.

Committee.
To Fit Present Needs
The commissioners will seek to
amend the Capper-Cramton act.
passed several years ago, to fit
their present needs.
The act advanced 16 million
dollars to the District from the
Federal Treasury for acquisition
of park property. The money
was to be paid back at the rate
of $1,000,000 yearly.
1t has been found that of this
sum only $500, 900 has been used,
leaving a balance of more than
IL millions, still available to the
District for property buying.
$5,OOO,OOO Loan, Hope
It is hoped that this sum can
be diverted to the District for use
on the PWA program. Should this
be possible, it would then be pos
Sible for the Public Works Admin.
iStration to add 30 per cent, or
about $5,000,OOO, which would
make total of about 10 millions.
The Commissioners are seeking
to raise 20 millions for the pro
gram, but indicated that it is pos.
sible it could be carried out with
the smaller sum.
