NHlel ol burtdu, The ASSOCldCeu
 Press, Washington.
 Even with the President, Con- gress and the Supreme Court away, old and new aspects of the recovery program are keeping Washington stirring. Here are a few:
 NRA: July and August are criti- cal months. Gen. Johnson, Sem ator Borah and others will be talk ing to "the little fellows" from varying viewpoints, and the returns will be laid before President Roose- welt, for his decision, when he comes home from Hawaii.
 AAA: The whole tendency is to fortify and expand the crop con- trOl experiment. There is no sign of retreat; the main effort now is to ride down the opposition. Un- less the situation changes radical ly. at least another year of the ex- pertinent seems certainly in pros pect.
 PWA: Officials are convinced too many projects are being unduly delayed. Greater speed will be in sisted on during the summer, cul- minating in big push, coincident with the normal seasonal business upturn this fall
 STOCK MARKET CONTROL: The personnel of the new control commission is so preponderantly liberal in it's views that Washing ton expects some real regulation of Wall Street. It is agreed the Presi- dent has chosen commission with teeth.
