March, when he was taken into police
custody for an alleged traffic violation

NEW BLOW AIMED

The Government. an authoritative
source disclosed today, has forged a
new weapon to strike at monopolistic
oppression of the little fellow" and
chiseling
BY a far-reaching change in pro-
cedure, this source said. the Federal
Trade Commission will become a
business court 10 mete out swifter
decisions on charges of unfair prac-
tices.
The new weapon, involving basic
change of the relations between the
commission and the N. r. A, is
contained in a technical order issued
by the commission.
As this order was explained today,
the emphasis will be placed on the
commissions judicial function. Hith-
erto its operations have been three
fold. 1t investigated, made COM
plants. and then sat in judgment
on its own complaints.
Roosevelt Suggested Step.
President Roosevelt, it is said, sug-
gested the commission and the N. r.
A. get together to iron out apparent
conflicts in procedure. Out of con-
ference the new plan arose.
An explanation is contained in a
private memorandum, technical in
character. This does not discuss the
implications of the order, but it was
said these three points are important
l. The small business man may
appear before the commission to
argue his case If code authority has
complained. He thereby obtains a
legal forum not previously in exist
ence.
2. Similarly the code authority
must argue its case before the COM
mission.
8. The commission sits as a nom
partisan judge.
The order in point was issued in
the case Of three rubber concerns,
which the N. r. A. accused of violat-
ing price-fixing provisions Of the
code.
May Accept Complaint.
The N. r. A. and the companies
will argue before the commission,
which may either proceed against the
companies or dismiss the N. r. AS
complaint.
Under previous rules, the commits
sion had to make its investigation
before issuing a complaint. Now II
may accept the N. r. AS complaint
and let hearings determine the JUS
tice of the proceeding.
The commission Is further en-
abled to hand down decisions to be-
gin the creation of body of law
under which code authorities will op-
crate.
The order does not alter past pro-
cedure on matters not coming under
the codes. 1t affects only N. R. A
cases.
The memorandum explains that
another purpose is to furnish data
regarding the N. r. A., which Will
be helpful to Congress when it sets
about determining the recovery units
