that the NRA has been able to
adjust 43 labor disputes that
arose in connection with the code
without the calling Of q single
strike.
Old and experienced theater
operators DOTTED their chapeaus
and bowed low to the Rosenblatt
administration when last Friday
he was able to invoke the medi-
alton policy contained in the
NRA film code and stop the
threatened strike of picture ma
chine operators in the Chicago
territory. It was a triumph for
the mediation idea.
I trust this interview does not
give the impression that Sol A.
Rosenblatt is the "big bad wolf"
of the industry or the official
big stick waver Of the Govern
ment.
Man Of Reticence
AS a matter of fact, the great
executives of a great industry
have the most profound respect
and admiration for his fairness.
For weeks they sat in with him
on the protracted hearings before
the blanket code was signed. He
listened to Will Hays. czar Of the
organized Hollywood producers.
He listened to Louis B. Mayer. to
Sam GoldWyn. to joseph M.
Schenck, to Col. Edward Schiller,
to Joseph Vogel, to David o. Selz-
nick, to every executive Of i'm
portance in the business Of max
ing and exhibiting motion pic
lures.
They found a man Of infinite
patience, with the most amazing
ability to listen to mountain Of
words and argument and pluck
from the mass the salient facts
and nugget them for the record.
The Rosenblatt memory is ex-
traordinary, his capacity for di-
gesting facts and figures un-
limited.
He is a walking encyclopedia Of
statistics on the movies and the
stage. At a moments notice he
can tell you how many seats are
controlled by the chain theaters,
the exact strength Of the indie
pendent exhibitor forces.

The answers to some Of these
questions will be found in the
figures which will be placed at
the disposal OF Administrator
Rosenblatt. An analysis of this
official data may disclose exactly
why an industry with an invested
capital of over 1000 million dol
lars has only two. companies on

There will be hearings in Hol-

There will be- explanations. There

sion Administrator Rosenblatt to
Administrator Hugh Johnson. It is
due about March / and no gov.

widely 'ead, studied, and perhaps
criticized.
What about moral standards in
production. Does the code juris-
diction take in ethics and morals
in the production of motion pic
lures? asked Mr.. Rosenblatt.
He replied:
"It certainly does. hope to
devise feasible plan whereby
all responsible organizations in
terested in the welfare Of the
motion picture industry will
have a voice and be an advisory
factor in production. That in

FUNDS JUGGLED
UNKNOWN To
BANK HEAD
Detroit Official "Presumes"
Changes Made by His
Vice President
BY International News Service

Millions Of dollars belonging
to depositors of the Union Guar
dian Trust Company, Of Detroit,
were juddgled among outside
banks without his knowledge, Cliff
ford B. Longley, former president,
told the Senate Banking Commit
tee today.
Pressed by Ferdinand Pecora,
committee counsellor, to give q
reason for the numerous shifts Of
class A deposiSt, Longley said he
did not know. He presumed"
however, that Frank j. Maurice,
vice president of the bank, change
the deposits in such a wholesale
manner to prevent any one bank
from obtaining too large a sum.
Among the banks to which the
DDetroit ready money" flew
were:
Guaranty Trust Company, New
York; Chemical Bank and Trust
Company, New York: Bankers
Trust Company, New York; Union
Trust Company, Pittsburgh; Con-
tiental Bank and Trust Company,
Chicago; National City Bank,
Cleveland.
Longley commented:
"This seemed to be a read
iustment of funds that Mr..
Maurice made"
Longley said he did not know
why 400 thousand dollars was
shifted from the regular" to the
"No. 2" account of the bank in
the Continental Commercial Bank
of Chicago on February 20, 1888.
So serious was the financial
situation in Detroit few weeks
before the bank holiday that the
bank withdrew $3,525,069 Of these
outside deposits from February 10

CHARTER
LED To OM'CARL,
|CKES TILT
Housing Corporation Denied
Because of Jurisdiction,
Possibility of Taxation

Comptroller General J. R. Nc
Carl, in making public this after
noon his much discussed commu-
nication to Secretary Of the Inte-
rior Harold L. Ickes, revealed
that one of the principal ques-
tionS at issue in the sudden
squabble over slum clearance
projects was the incorporation
Of q Delaware corporation to
carry on the work.
Under the corporations char
ter, it would be given rights ex-
ceeding those granted it by
statue, and McCarl pointed out
that funds appropriated by the
Federal Government cannot be
used for purposes not covered by
the appropriations.
By Executive Order
It was said at McCarl's office
today that the communication
had been addressed to Ickes in
order that he might adjust the
slum clearance plan so that it
would fit clearly into the Public
Works picture.
McCarl points out that the Ad-
ministrator and Special Board for
Public Works, according to un-
authenticated resolutions fur
nished him, appear to have al
lotted $1,000 to be used as capital
stock Of the Public Works Emerg-
ency Housing Corporation, and
100 million dollars to the corpora
tion, to be used for slum clear
ance and low cost housing con-
struction.
Formation Of the Housing Cor
poration was directed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in an executive
order on November 20, 1888, in
which the powers of the corpora
tion were set forth.
McCarl indicates that the slum
clearance work might have been
performed directly by the Public
Works Administration, without
the intervention Of any special
corporation.
Jurisdiction Question
McCarl also indicates that there
is room for doubt that NRA in
tended the creation Of corpora
tions, but that his office would
not oppose such procedure if there
seemed to be no serious danger
involved.
In this instance, however, he
points out, the incorporation of
a Government agency is under
taken in a jurisdiction subject to
State laws. Also, this might sub
ject the Government agency and
Government property to State
taxation.
The corporate term perpetual"
appears, McCarl says, to conflict
with the provisions of the Re-
covery act.

Rosenblatt who is busy prepar-
ing for his trip to California.
He stops off for a day in New
York to take up the ticket prob
lem with the producers Of Broad
way, then continues West and is
due on the Coast Monday night.
He said:
''YOu will understand that on
some Of the questions you may
ask it may be necessary to with
hold answers until I have COM
pleted my work in Hollywood.
I don't wish to be placed in the
position Of prejuding a case.
ThiS much I can say. My
visit is for the purpose Of OBJ
serving the functiOning of the
motion picture industry with
respect to the maintainance Of
fair trade practices, proper
standards in production and
clean advertising"
This sounds coldly official, and
it Is. What Hollywood does not
know and awaits feveriShly is
what direction this Rosenblatt re-
search will take. For the industry
is aware that the deputy admin
strator is armed with official
facts and figures that furnish the
answers to its most intimate
secrets.

to the Government of restoring
the salaries in full would amount
to approximately $200,000,OO0. He
said:
'I am certain that the Gov
ernment pay cut started reduc-
tiOns in salaries paid by private
industries"
SHOULD POINT WAY
He asserted that the wage earn
ers look with disfavor on having
their wages based on "Such an
uncertain thing as the cost Of
living" What is the cost Of liv-
ing for one person is not for an
other, he added.
E. A. Whitney, president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Train
men and chairman of the railroad
executives association, pointed out
that the Government, being one
of the largest employers of labor,
should point the way to private
industry in the Administrators
efforts to advance salaries.
The purchasing power of all
wage earners has been materially
reduced, he said, and the restora-
ton of the Government pay-cut
would man restoring some of the
lost purchasing power in the
country.
Luther Steward, president of the
National Federation of Federal
Employees, told the committee that
not only have the Federal en-
ployes been subjected to a Is per
cent pay cut but they also have
been forced to take administrative
furloughs which in some inTtances
resulted in total salary reduction
of more than SO per cent.

Johnson Puts Regulation Up to
House Committee; Rayburn
Bill Up at Hearing
By International Nsws Service

Congress and the NRA are not
in sympathy on present efforts
to regulate motor carriers, it was
apparent today as Recovery Ad-
ministrator Hugh S. johnson and
Chairman Rayburn Cd Of Texas
conferred at the opening Of the
hearing by the House Interstate
Commerce Committee.
Joseph B. Eastman, adminiStra-
tor Of Federal transportation, was
not present, although very active
during former hearings on the
subject. Johnson said:
81 told him anything the COM
mittee recommends is o. k
with me-"
Rayburn intimated influence
was being exerted to sidetrack the
hearing on the bill offered by him
and sanctioned by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Held /. C. C. Function
Commissioner McNamy of the
I. C. c., the first witness, said the
commission should fix the rates
for contract carriers as well as for
common carriers.
The Rayburn bill would EN-.
power the I.'C. C. to regulate mo.
tor vehicle carriers in the same
manner it regulated rails and
waterways before passage of the
railroad transportation act.
This act empowers Eastman to
fix schedules for consultations
and elimination of duplicating
lines. The fixing of tariff and
wage schedules still remains with
the I. c. C.

eight years have been seeking Fed.
eral legislation, K. F. Clardy,
chairman of the Michigan com.
mission, representing the National
Association of State Railroad and
Utilities Commissioners, declared
that body was directly behind tho
Rayburn bill.
Although rail carriers have SutL
fered a continuous decline in tom
mage during the past four years.
Clardy observed, the tonnage
transported by motor carriers in
interstate commerce has trebled,
even in the face Of declining COM
merce.
The States have reached the
point in motor vehicle regulation
where they need the supplement-
of Federal action, Clardy said. He
added that the chief objection to
motor transportation is against
service, not against rates.

fer a reduction in the purchasing
power of the existing wage.
Green contended that if the cost
of living in Washington should
rise one-half as much during the
next six months as it has during
the past year, the cost Of living
would be 1855 per cent above what
it was when the reduction was
made.
Green estimated that the cost
