MIXED FEELINGS
GREET DARROW
NRA REPORT
Some Agree With Findings,
Others Challenge Them;
Party Lines Drawn
BY International News Service

BY INTERNATIONAL N0WS service
Clarence Darrow's indictment
of the NRA as tending to foster
monopoly and Gen. Hugh S
Johnson's briStling answer evoked
varying comment in congressional
quarters today.
Some agreed with Mr.. Dsrrow;
some didn't. Typical of the com
ment is the following:
Representative McGugin (R.)
Of Kansas:
"It is unquestiOnably true
that the NRA has been play
ing into the hands of monOp-
oily to the detriment of small
institutions"
DISCOUNTED BY DOUGHTON
Representative Doughton CD
Of North Carolina, chairman OF
the Ways and Means Committee:
81 don't attach any moro
importance to Mr.. DarrOw'S
economic views than / do his
religious views. Every small
business in my district is bet
ter off than when the Presi-
dent came i'm office"
Representative Kelly (R) Of
Pennsylvania:
'I believe the Darrow report
Is the result of q total mis-
understanding Of the funda-
mental purpose of the MIRA.
That purpose is to assure fair
competition by agreement be-
tween three partieS-industry.
labor and government. There
have been bIunders made in
connection with the admins
tration Of the act, but the law
is sound and can be enforced.
The American people will not
consent to . return to cut
throat competition, nor will
they chose Communism"
Representative Fulmer CD Of
South Carolina:
II am glad the DarrOw report
was made. Anybody that has
any sense can see that it is
hurting small business"
LITTLE FELLOW COMPLAINS
Representative Knutson (R0 of
Minnesota:
1.-THE Darrow report confirms
complaints from small retailers
that I have received from back
home. They say the codes were
prepared by their big cOmpeti-
tors and fixed up so as to drive
the little fellow out Of bust
ness"
Senator Nye (Ro of North Da,
kota:
Findings Of both the majority
and minority reports Of the Dar-
row board reveal that NRA
codes are working destruction
for small businesses and are en-
trenching monopoly.
"The thing that bewilderS me
is the absence Of documents
expected would be released.
'The President submitted the
review board report to the NRA,
the Federal Trade Commission,
and the Department of Justice
for study and report. Why has
the response Of the NRA been
given Out?"
Senator Dickinson Agrees
Senator Dickinson (R) Of Iowa
said that he agreed with Dar-
rows criticism of the NRA, but
did not favor his conclusion that
faults could be rectified through
communism or socialism.
Senator FeSs (RO of Ohio said: {:
"I was not surprised ct the
substance Of the report. 1t re-
inforces what we have known
for some time-namely, that 8
per cent can operate and 80
per cent cannot under the
NRA."

japanese leaders, from Emperor
Hirohito and Premier Saito down
to minor government officials,
were placed under an unusually
watchful police guard today in
fear Of terroristic outbreaks by
the many influential patriotic
societies. With the government
and police probing every angle Of
the treasury scandal, involving
allegedly fraudulent stock selling
by the semi-official bank Of
Taiwan, it was feared the tense
situation would be aggravated by
bomb explosions.

GENEVA, May 81 Q.N.S).
Poland's strenuous objection to
permitting Soviet Russia to use
European nations as catspaws to
hold Germany in leash while she
settles her quarrels with Japan
arose today as an obstacle in the
path Of Franco-Soviet accord.
Rupture of Poland'S traditional
close alliance with France and
an open rapprochment with
Germany were possible steps en-

But there no respite. Slick showed up
before they had completed that job and di-
rected them to another part OF the GROUNDS TO
help with the menagerie tents.
All morning it had been thus, while the long
lines of cages were drawn into their allotted
spaces and the main circus tent was slowly
taking shape They had hardly had a moment
to breathe since Slick had taken charge OF
them.
After the menagerie tents were up, somebody
discovered that Bill and Ham lived in the
country and knew something about horses, and
it was not long before they were busy with
curry combs
"Gee!" gasped Bill, as they curried the
horses, "if we do get passes out OF this, III be

he didn't have anything to do with giving out

"Rosinbacks?" said Ham in wonder.

back here with it in an hour, by the time the
parade is over"
Eyes, SIR" said the boys unhappily. They
took the shoe and started of. At least they
might be able to part of the parade. In
their weariness they had forgotten about the
plotting of the Blaines.

Bill and Ham started toward the shoemakers
shop and were told there that the slipper would
not be ready for half hour. Having noticed
that the roof of the shop was ideal for watch
ing the street below, the boys asked the shoe
makers permission to climb out on it from the
upstairs window. They settled themselves to
wait for the parade, which had already started
from the circus grounds. If the Blaines were
up to anything, the boys were in position to
see it.
Suddenly Hams eyes focused on one spot

lounged against the corner of a building, with
their hands rammed far down in their pockets.
Apparently they were engrossed in conversa-
tion
As the vanguard of the parade appeared in
full regalia up the street great hue and cry
arose from the crowds and distracted the boys
attention from the Blaines. The scarlet-coated
band blared forth its martial notes. Only the
cheers OF the people in the street rose above it.
The procession came closer and the crowd
followed it until the street below the boys perch
was JaInWeQ WIN people. 1ne elepldnCS were

lions cage.

second later three pistol reports cracked
the air. But not before Don Jose had hattened
himself against the cage. For a moment not
a person moved except two dark figures darting
under cover down side street.
There they go" cried Bill, trembling with
excitement. THE Blaines!"
The din broke loose, pierced with the under
current of a lions roar. The boys recognized
the lion Gala, in the first cage, pacing up
and down. quick jolt of the cage threw him
against the door.
Instantly it few open. Gala paced to the
door, roaring savagely, and with graceful leap
landed on the ground outside. He paused a
moment, his great tail swishing to and fro.
then with a trot he made for the crowds.
The street became a bedlam. Mothers
screamed and picked up their children bodily to
carry them to safety. Men shouted and ran. Bill
and Ham, alone on the roof made no move.
They heard the cry below going from mouth to
to mouth
"A lion is 1oose!"
