JOHNSON FLAYS
NRA SHIPPERS
ON HILL

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 U.N.S0.
Warning that "a distinct move
ment" to repeal the National In
dustrial Recovery Act is afoot in
Congress today lay before the
Nation, coupled with the predic-
ton from Brig. Gen. Hugh S.
johnson, National Recovery Ad-
ministrator, that success of such
a move might be one Of the
greatest political mistakes"
Addressing the National Retail
Dry Goods Association at its an
nual dinner, Johnson assailed
those who would scuttle the
whole recovery program" denied
that the NRA is fostering the
interests of monopolies at the
expense of small business, as
serted the country is on the road
to recovery, and outlined the in
tention Of recovery chiefs to
move for wage increases and re-
duction of hours of work through
out American industry. He said:
"A storm is brewing-a
typical attempt to whip up
opposition where it may count
amongst the greatest numbers.
/ refer to the claim that NRA
OppresSes the little fellow and
promotes monopoly.
CHALLENGES NRA FOES
eff NRA OppreSseS anybody,
it does not do so by mOnOpO-
listic tendency. 1t may do so
for another reason. 1t OppreSSeS
people who are not willing to
accord decent wages and proper
human labor and I am willing
to take any man to the hust-
ings on that statement, in
Guiding these professional
dialecticianS whose chief activ-
ity is criticism of the recovery
program"
Although he did not mention
them by name, Johnson replied
to the attack made in the Sen
ate Thursday by Senators Borah,
of Idaho, and Nye, of North
Dakota, who charged that NRA
codes were bankrupting small
concerns and creating the great
est monopolistic system in history.
johnson told of "those who
were invited to sit in" with the
Recovery Administration but re-
fused "preferring to sit on the
Sidelines and conjure up evil"
He said:
"They had their chance to
speak but they didn't want it
then"
Two Courses Open
Pleading with the retailers to
observe their codes and to
"crucify" those who chiseled
under NRA codes, the recovery
chieftain said the country faces
two courses:
"One is to put another man
in my job. Doubtless there are
thousands who could do it
better. But if he is pro-
tagOniSt of some Of the ideas
I am attacking the program
will collapse.
"The other alternative is to
90 back to the old System-and
God help the country if we
do"
To the retailers themselves he
directed the plea:
keep prices dOwn-fOr Gods
Sake-keep prices down. That's
the only royal road to rOcOv-
ery."

London. July 30.-OUP)-Bri- tain's new ar program will in crease her fighting strength by AGO planes. from 844 to 1,30i machines. Stanley Baldwin. lord president of the council revealed to-day in the House of commons.
 Baldwin startled the house by virtually sanctioning German defi- ance of the military clauses of the Versailles treaty.
 "If Germany seized the right to re-arm," he said, "she would have every argument in her favor, from her defenseless positoin in the air. to try to make herself secure"
 T say no more about what might lie behind that" Baldwin con- tinued, but there is a situation of potential gravity which it would be foolish to ignore. Our forces must he properly equipped. Shop window defense forces deceive no- body in Europe to-day" Evidently suggesting his expec- tation of an eventual future war, Baldwin said:
 I've have yet time to spare to put our defences in order" adding that as far as he could see, there is no risk in the immediate future ! that peace would be broken.

Petition to Governor Cross That Liquor Sales Be
 Allowed in All Places

WaterburyS tavern owners today definitely entered the field of poli- tics with the placing in circulation of a petition to Governor Wilbur Cross asking that taverns and res taurants be allowed to sell strong liquor by the drink. This city was selected as the originating point of the movement, which will soon be statewide, in order that officials of the tavern operators organiza- tion might determine just what it's strength is in typical Connecti- GU city.
 The petition will be circulated throughout the city and any inter- ested members of the general pub lie will have an opportunity to affix their signatures to the docu- ment, which asks that the present state laws be liberalized in order to stamp out bootlegging and place drinking on a safe and sane basis.'
 Will Be In Election
 With the petition and its expect ed thousands of signatures as their strong point, the tavernmen expect to play an active and important part in the coming state elections. This morning President John De- laney and Secretary William Sulli- va of the local branch of the State Tavernmen's Association predicted that at least 500 signatures would be affixed to the petition in Water bury alone. This estimate, they boh said, was decidedly conserva- tive.
 In addition to asking the gover- nor for liberalization of the drink ing laws. the petition also asks, on behalf of the taverns, that per

 His Vacation

Rev. Frederick J. Murphy. LL.- D.. fifth pastor. at St. Mary,s church, Greenwich, and who is still well-remembered here since his days as curate at the church of the Sacred Heart in the Nineties, died this morning at Woodmont, where he had been vacationing.

Ths war is, en!, In ansNeE-to,- -Sen- ator Joseph A. Hackett's statement of last Saturday that he is seeking renomination, George T.

United States Is Far Behind h Air Planes
England Has Just Decided to Increase Her Quota This Country Must Await the Action of
 Congress in Building Up

Washington, July 30 - (P) - Great Britain's decision to add AGO fighting planes to her air force will give that country lead over the United States in aerial comba; planes even should American fight ing planes be increased to the mum. Der recently recommended by tht Baker committee.
 The committee urged in .va-~se. gently published report that tn, United States army air force be in. creased 2,320 planes with emphasis laid on combat types.
 Accomplishment of this pro- gram hinges on congressional en- dorsement of it and the appropria- tion of necessary funds.
 Comparisons of the actual air forces of the leading nations are difficult because of the care with which such strength is guarded from public knowledge. It is furth- CT complicated by the fact that some countries have a unified air service in which land and sea command.
 It IS estimated that the United States has a total military air strength of about 5000 planes. Many of these. particularly in the Army Air service, are becoming obsolete. Great Britian's total strength before the increase an- nounced today, was estimated at about 2,500.
 France, conceded the strongest of all nations in the air, has an estimated strength of about 1000 planes. Italy and Japan are be- lieved to have 2,500 planes and Russia about 5000.
 While the United States is plan ming to build 44S new planes with public works and other funds, it is estimated that the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1885, will find the regular army land plane force at about it's present figure of 9S7 due to anticipated obsolescence and normal destruction.
