al Topics Interpreted

Unless all signs fail there is going
to be a determined stand by many of
the country's business interests for a
limitation on the provisions of the
national industrial recovery act
when that question comes up for con-
gressional action next January or
February. An undercurrent of infor-
nation, to the. effect that a move
ment to that end is under way, has
begun to seep into Washington in 81
growing volume. It indicates that we
will hear much about MIRA during the
coming campaigns. Indeed, some OBJ
servers are convinced that President
Roosevelt already is attempting to
get the administrations side of the
story to the country by sending Gen.
Johnson, recovery administrator, out
for tour of speechmaking to sell the
blue eagle to the country. ,-~.r.a~
The President, it will be remember
ed, already has declared that MIRA
must be made permanent part of
our economic structure. I have found
few persons who disagree with that.
There is difference of views, how
ever, and it is emphatic, as to the ex-
tent to which MIRA should go in man
aging the country's business on per-
manent basis. It is upon that question
therefore that the battle apparently
will be waged. a..s@: - ze.5rs..
From what can pick up around
here, it is certain that considerable
portion of the business interests is de-
sirous of limitation on the recovery
act provisions so that they will apply
really just to establishment Of maxi
mum hours of labor and minimum
wages, and to abolition of the sweat
shop and elimination of child labor.
They are determined in their OPPOSE
tion to retention in the recovery act
of provisions that give power to fix
prices, to control production and to
grants Of authority that bring private
business books into the limelight
whenever shopping government agents
want to dig into private affairs Of
individuals or corporations. Frankly,
/ think that feature has done more 20
discredit MIRA than any other phase
of the law under which it operates.
On the other hand, only the meanest
and cheapest of individuals can oppose
any move that is designed to provide
better working conditions and hours

is that few Of them have had practi-
cal experience. They have taught,
they have not operated businesses,
and theory is one thing and actual ex-
perience another. If they had had
their way, the country would have
embarked upon the giddiest expert
ments. imaginable, and confusion
would have reigned supreme.
They are getting their way. You
hear much less Of them than you used
to-only Professor Tugwell, hand
soonest and smartest of the lot, is
still good for headline notices. It was
rumored that one of the Brain-trust-
ers was going to be made head of the
vastly important new Securities Com
mission--but when the appointment
was made it went to a hard-headed
business man who has spent most Of
his life in brokerage and knows the
game, not from textbooks, but from
actual play in it. e @.s~ z.nm &~s-;..
Still another sign of the admins
tration's shift to the right is the pro-
posed new set-up for NRA. General
johnson has been the whole show. so
far, and his methods and speeches are
examples Of extreme @first phase"
methods Of getting things done by
threats ad appeals to mass-emotio-
alism. Now the chances are that the
NRA will be administered in the fu-
ture by board made up of number
Of men Of Judicial temperament and
ecoomic backgroud," as the U. s.
News puts it. There will be more ex-
perience in the administration of the
bureau-and considerably less theory.
The effect Of this change will not
be felt to any great extent for few
months summer is upon US, and it is
always the quiet time of year in both
busiess and government. But when
fall rolls round there is hope that the
relationship between government and
business is going to look very diff
ferent from that of last fall.

of labor for those who live by tn
syuaat of thar hrou

of labor for those who live by the
sweat of their brow.
While obviously none can foretell
the result of this issue as such an
early date, the opinions that I gather
among observers here make me believe
that there is quite a popular appeal
in the argument which is being ad-
vanced for revision of the recovery act
and limitation of MIRA control. Folks
generally will 60 along with PROPOSE
tions that work for betterment, but
which do not at the same time in
elude invasion of what they believe to
be their personal rights. The admin
istration contends, however, that ex-
tension of the recovery act powers
or at least, retention of the powers
now existant in NRA-are not an in
vasion of personal rights beyond the
necessity for creating greater human
happiness. But the hard-headed bus
mess man, great or small, is going to
be hard to convince, it seems to me,
that government control to the extent
Of fixing his prices and doing some
of the other things now permitted is
not an undue messing with his per-
sonal affairs.
The lessons of the four-year de-
preston have been so severe chat
there is little evidence Of important
opposition to curtailment of hours of
labor. Likewise, sound business lead
ers cannot justify opposition to min
imum wages nor can they find a safe
ground upon which to propose use Of
child labor or operation under sweat
shop conditions. Politically, therefore,
labor will be interested only in those
four items; the women vote of the
country will be interested only in the
accomplishment of those ends, and
business interests worthwhile will not
object. 2 81. +. .,s.---

He has said as much. He wants to get
back into private business. Mr.. Roose-

possible that he will remain on the
job. He is responsible for the general

theories embodied in the various

Roosevelt's Chief Policy Adviser
Scores "Dodo Economists"
Who Attack N. R. A.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October e.-Donald r.
Richberg, said today that if the Gov
ernment yielded to destructive politi-
cal clamorS" for immediate balancing
Of the budget, the country would
plunge into national disaster"
Declaring New Deal expenditures
and measures have saved the Ma
ton from revolution" President
Roosevelt's chief policy adviser also
struck at "dodo-economistS" for at
tacks on N. r. A.
In a speech prepared for delivery
before the Rotary Club, he discussed
campaign issues. He set boost in
employment as goal of N. r. A.
and gave new assurance to business
that no hasty, blanket changes are
planned in that recovery unit.
The budget should be balanced at
the earliest possible moment" Rich
berg said, but sweeping demands"
for drastic slashing of expenditures
and Immediate balancing, in the face
of relief needs, "are the product either
Of gross ignorance or the greatest
form Of political demagoguism."
Relief Drop Forecast.
Thanks to the constructive meas
ures which have helped to revive pri-
vate business" he said, the burden
of Federal relief this Winter, despite
an unprecedented load of drought re-
lief, should be far less than last
Winter.
But who is the man who dares to
stand before the American people and
to declare that We should not have
saved millions of people from desti-
tuition, suffering and actual starvation
last Winter, and that in the face OF
this demand for help we should have
cut expenses and balanced the budget?
Communists cannot produce a
revolution in this country, but a blind,
reacticnary, inhumane Government
could breed a revolt in 80 days by
adopting such a program"
Claims Dollar Sound.
Touching on monetary policy. he
said the Roosevelt dollar by all tests
OF stable purchasing power should be
regarded as exceptionally sound"
He said the administration is "dedi-
Gated heart and soul to the preserva-
ton OF our ancient political liberties
and to the maintenance of a political
economic system of competitive indi-
vidualism, civilized by social CEN
science"
AS for his own critics, Richberg as
serted it made him "writhe to see
myself cartooned carrying a red flag
and to see myself described as a So
cialist when 1 have a consistent rec
ord of having all my life bitterly op-
posed the theories and programs of
State Socialism"
Touches on Price Control.

cast, devoted particular attention to
price and production control phases
Of N r. A. codes.

FLYER IDENTIFIES
HAUPTMANN VOICE
Lindbergh Says Prisoner
Called Dr.. Condor to Scene
of Ransom Deal.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, October s.-Bruno

plies of hey, doctor" to questions
of District Attorney Samuel J. Foley
brought about Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh's Identification of the prison
er'S voice as that of the man to whom
DR.. John F. Condor paid the $4,000
Lindbergh ransom.
Foley disclosed today that the iden-
tification of the voice, announced last
night in Trenton, N. j., by Col. H
Norman Schwarzkopf, head of the
New Jersey State Police, was made
when Col. Lindbergh, disguised in car
and spectacles, viewed Hauptmann
from a line of officials in the district
attorneys Office a week after the Ger
man carpenters arrest.
"I had Hauptmann walk up and
down and I spoke to him at varying
distances so that he would have tc

structed him to say Hey, doctor.
German Accent Used.
As Foley retold the incident, he
said doctor" with a German accent.
II am still of the opinion that
Hauptmann did not know the colonel
was there" Foley said
The Bronx prosecutor declined to
disclose what Col Lindbergh told him
after the identification.
Foley indicated efforts were made
to reproduce as nearly as possible in
the Office the conditions under which
Col. Lindbergh first heard the voice
outside st. Raymonds Cemetery, the
Bronx the night of April 2, 1882,
Immediately prior to the payment OF
the ransom money.
Col. Lindbergh, he said. listened to
the repetition of the words at dis
tances varying from to 40 feet and
in this way was able to note all the
modulations of the suspects voice

The night the ransom was paid DR..
Condor and Col Lindbergh, directed
by series of notes, drove alone to a

Bow Before UItimatum of
ICkeS for Completion
of Plan in 1886.

Bowing before the ultimatum of
Secretary of Interior Ickes that the
District sewage disposal plant must
be completed in double-quick time, the
Commissioners will sign the new con-
tract for the $8OOO,O0O project, call
ing for a finished structure by July l,

trict Building.
Final decision had not been reached
up to noon, but Engineer Commissioner
Dan /. Sultan said it would be possible
to complete construction by that date.
if everything moves smoothly and ac-
cording to schedule On the basis Of
this statement, it was expected the
other members of the board would
agree to placing their signatures on
the contract. after which the Public
Works Administration is to place to
the credit of the District some or all
of the $4,000 900 sum.
District officials made clear today,
as did the Commissioners in their
letter to Secretary Ickes on October l.,
they believed the plant could be built
in less than half the time originally
scheduled by the three consulting en-
gineers employed to draft the plans,
unless some unexpected difficulty
arises.
Aware Of Exigencies.
District officials are aware OF the
possibility Of a number of exigencies
arising, some in the classification of
"acts Of God" or even acts of man
beyond the control of the District gov
ernment.
For instance, they fear that possibly
some of the bids for sections of the
work may be found unsatisfactory,
necessitating call for new bids, such
as has happened in numerous cases
in contracts for school buildings.
Again, there is the fear of other exigen-
cies, such as labor troubles, or delay
in the delivery here of essential ma
chinery or materials, which might
cause delay in construction progress
However, indications are that the
new contract drafted by P. w. A..
