Johnson's Office for
"PersOnal" Talk
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Clarence Darrow and Hugh S.
johnson, who only two days ago
we're hurting bitter words at
each other, may meet for a
personal visit, but arrangements
today were described as up in
the air"
Darrow said he did not have
any definite plans as the result
OF informal exchanges between
his Office and Johnson's. and he
was pretty sure he could not
go to N. r. A. today.
At Johnson's Office it was ex-
planned the N. r. A. head had
accepted a suggestion from Dar-
row headquarters that the vet
eran Review Board head come
over to visit him, but johnson
conditioned this on Darrow's be-
ing alone and making the visit
a personal one"

CRIME RECORD LONG.

crime law program advanced by Attor-
ney General Cummings and paid high
| tribute to the impressive record" in
law enforcement, especially with re-
gard to kidnapings, of the Division OF
Investigation.
THE gravity Of the crime problem, :"
he said, land recent successes Of the
Federal Government in dealing with 1T
have caused a considerable opinion in
favor of enlargements in Federal
criminal jurisdiction"
While this view has been "effec-
lively DEVELOPED" he pointed out, by
the Copeland Crime Committee, ne
| called attention to an admonition by
Representative summers, chairman OF
the House Judiciary Committee,
against launching the Federal Gov
ernment upon vast bureaucratic un-
dertaking which might result in weak
ening the crime repressive influence
| of the States"
He supported Summers attitude,
holding the major responsibility for
| stamping out crime must rest with the
| States and cities. The citizens must
not sit back and wait for the Federal
Government to protect them, he en-
| phasized.
Indorses New Laws.
Moley indorsed legislation, much of
which already has been enacted, to
strengthen the kidnapping and extor-
ton laws. to transport stolen prop
| erty across State lines, to flee across
State lines to evade prosecution or
testimony, to outlaw racketeering, to
prevent gangsters from obtaining ma
| chine guns and similar weapons, to
burglariZe national banks, to assault
to kill a Federal officer. to participate
in prison riot and certain other bills
to tighten prosecution of criminals.
In urging enlargement of the field
forces of the division of investigation
| Moley recounted the achievements of
the division in 26 kidnapping cases,
since enactment of the Federal kid
naping law. In "a of these cases,
he said, prosecutions have resulted,
with an acquittal registered only in
the Touhy Hamm case. He said IS
defendants are awaiting trial and SIS
convictions have been obtained.
while the record of the Federal
Government in this field,'' he stated,
lis wholly commendable, the public
should not expect miracles to be ac-
complished by Federal authority. An
occasional setback must be expected
and should not be viewed as failure
of the Federal Government to per-
form its proper functions with ade-
quate efficiency.
"The high ratio of results evidenced
by these figures have done much to
restore the prestige of Federal justice
after the miserable failures registered
BY the prohibition division during the
past Is years. 1t would be folly. how
ever, to expect to secure comparable
successes with the proposed crime
bills unless immediate provision is
made for substantial increases In the
numerical strength OF the division of
investigation" .--...-----

Retail Trades to Stand.

He repeated again that retail trades
which sell goods instead Of service
will continue as they are, and OBJ
served that those codes had caused
little or no trouble and complaint.
johnson declined to say just how
the simplifed procedure on service
trades would be operated pending the
Presidents acceptance Of the pro-
posed policy, but it definitely will take
off N. r. A. the job of trying to en-
force price provisions and similar ar
rangements in C areas where large
groups do not want to comply.
In the midst Of all the controversy
over the Darrow report the admins
traitor took one step further yesterday
in the shakedown of his own organiZa-
ton by requesting his advisory boards
for industry, labor and consumer
TO create an executive committee OF
three apiece, which, under the name
of advisory council, will pass on all
codes and administrative orders and
try to reach an agreement between the
conflicting interests.
Ends Compliance Board.
At the same time he abolished the
Compliance Board and gave its eagle
snatching" duties to the compliance
director.
johnson asked that the advisory
council of nine be prepared to sit con-
stantly without rotation of member
ship for at least six-month periods
The council will have 10 days to act
on any code. If it has nothing to
report at the end of that time, john

Talks With Lindsay.

Discussions have been held by the
President with Sir Ronald Lindsay
concerning Great Britain's INSTALL
ment, but there was no confirmation
of reports that a compromise settle
ment had been agreed upon. In some
quarters it was said, however, there
was a possibility the British Ambassa-
dor had contributed data and views on
which the President might base some
paragraphs in his message.
Dispatches from London indicating
British officials had under considera-
ton a new plan for settlement of the
debts question dovetailed with reports
In official quarters here.
More than two weeks aoo it was said
in authoritative quarters that "antici-

BY the Associated Press.

Under vigorous pressure from coded
industries for continuance of their
agreements, Hugh S. johnson has
come to the conclusion that no codes
can be abandoned outright by N. r. A.
despite the grief some have caused
the administration.
He has laid before President Roose-
welt, he said, a plan for "rationaliza-
tion' of the service trade codes
hotels, restaurants, beauty parlors,
barber shops, dry cleaners, etc, which
sell service but not goods-and he still
hopes to cut down the great number
of miscellaneous code groups by merg-
ing all small industrial codes into the

PRESIDENT RUSHES
MESSAGE ON DEBT.
will Outline Intentions for
Negotiations in the
Future.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt today rushed
preparation of war debts message to
Congress, outlinin- his intentions for
future negotiations with European
debtors
In authoritative quarters it was reit-
Grated that cancellation is definitely
out of the Presidents mind, and this
will be conveyed to Congress.
Hint of some out-of-the-o ordinary
move was in the air. The State De-
partment was disclosed to have
omitted the customary dispatch OF its
formal reminders" always handed to
the debtor Il tions 80 days before in
stallments are due. 80
On June IS thirteen European ma
tions have inStallments of SITS, 100000
falling due. The please remit" notes
already are eight days overdue. No
formal explanation was given for the
delay at the State Department.
No Fixed Formula Seen.
As he worked the Chief Executive
was represented as still insisting upon
dealing individually with the debtors.
it was declared that no fixed formula
for a general Scale-down Of the debts
was in prospect.
To all appearances, MIR. Roosevelt is
standing steadfaSt for Sizable pay
ments. Foreign ENJOYS already have
been told that defaulting nations now
headed by France, will be barred from
any financial transactions with the
United States under the terms of the
johnson act.
In his message Mr.. Roosevelt prob
ably will outline the rule for treat
ment of those nations which make
token payments.
Signs have been lacking that the
President intends to ask any legis-
letive action towarf the debts.
Undersecretary of State Phillips,
who is handling the war debts nego-
tiations for the department, conferred
with the President yesterday>on for
eign affairs, including the debts ques-
ton. The White House made no off,
clal announcement, but it was under

JOHNSON SEEKS
SETTLEMENT OF
STEEL DISPUTE
Hopes to Avert Strike and
Leave Roosevelt Free
on Other Matters.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Gen-
eral Hugh S. Johnson today re-
doubled his efforts to solve the
threatened steel strike in order to
leave President Roosevelt free to
concentrate on problems of con-
gressional adjournment.
Other recovery officials were
working to settle the Pacific coast
longShoremen's strike.
Heartened by his success in
arbitrating the textile labor flare
up, General Johnson was striking
for an equally quick compromise
of the stubborn steel demands.
Chances of success, however, were
not so good.
Leaders of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers union returned today to
press their demands for full recog-
milton by the steel companies. Ex-
ecutives of the Iron and Steel in
Stltute were reported summoned
for separate conferences.
Both Sides Adamant
In previous serious labor diff
cultles, notably the automobile
and railroad disagreements. it was
necessary to call upon the efforts
OF the President to reach solutions.
This time Mr.. johnson was making
special efforts to keep from add
ing this burden to Mr.. RooseveIt's
already heavy duties coincident
with the early adjournment of
congress.
however, the unions, making their
third great effort to unionize the
steel industry, are standing firm in
their demands. MANAGEMENT. tra-
dltlonally opposed to union labor.
was equally firm.
Fears were expressed that failure
to arbitrate the differences would
result in as bitter and bloody a,
conflict as the two previous un-
successful attempts to organize the
industry in 1892 and 1919.
General Tieup Feared
A general steel strike would tie up
many key industries and seriously
threaten the administration's recov-
cry program.
Union leaders said that refusal of
their demands would mean bloody
warfare" They said the steel COM
panies already were augmenting
their forces of private guards and
laying in supplies of tear gas and
other weapons.
The Iron and Steel institute,
however, maintained that the threat
of trouble was greatly overestimated.
1t maintained that union claims of
ability to call out 100000 workers
were grossly overestimated and
that there was little union senti-
ment among workers.
