it is learned.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ID. (UP).
The postoffice department sub
mitted to congress last night q
bill legalizing all details of war
department operation of airmail
routes and authorizing the post
master general to enter into
short-term airmail contracts with

The bill was presented as post

seeks to block cancellation of old
airmail contracts.
Farley had planned to send to
Chairman Black of the senate

of the old contracts. but at the
last minute delayed it. The bill,
however, was made public at the
capitol.
The bill provides in brief:
1. The postmaster genreal may
make contracts for one year with
any independent corporation for
carrying mail.
2. Contracts for three months,
at not. more than 40 cents per
plane mile, may be Let without

work of flying the mail.

Both Postmaster General Far

NRA TURNS TOWARD REGIONAL
SELF GOVERNMENT TO SOLVE
IT'S MOST BATTLING PROBLEM
Move Is in Behalf of Small Business and National
Codes May Be Framed Later Around
Regional Agreements
BY c. c. NICOLET
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. (UP)
The National Recovery Admins
tration finally decided yesterday
that you can't run a barber shop
or a restaurant on the same basis
as a steel mill, and announced a
new formula for trying to codify
the trade and service industries.
Regional self-government I'M
der regional codes, instead of ma
tional self-government under ma
tional codes. is the new plan for
solving what so far has been the
most battling problem of the
NRA. Later national codes may
be framed around the regional
agreement, but for the time being
they will operate under the Blue
Eagle of the presidents re-em-
ployment agreement.
National codes will continue to
be stressed for retail stores. filt-
ing stations and "outlets for pro-
ductive enterprises of a national
character" But other trade and
service industries-which means
the industries devoted to dealing
directly with the consumer. either
selling him something or perform
ing a service for him-will be left
largely to the local agreements
except that national wage and
hour regulations will apply. Lo-
cal transportation agencies, laun-
dries, building management and
cleaners and dyers are among the
trades concerned, though some of
them already have national codes
which aren't working very we'll.
At first, the MIRA thought that
barber shops and laundries could
be handled like the steel industry
or the coal mines. The big bust
ness men in the recovery organ
ization weren't familiar with the
problems represented. Conditions
in such trades as barbering, vary
so greatly between communities
that even the scheme of national
rules with sectional differentials,
could not be made to work.
A fifty cent haircut, for in
stance. was demanded by many
BARRIERS as their only chance to
live. But in negro communities
of the South. haircuts range
around Is cents and a so cent
price would simply rean that peo-
pie would cut their hair at home.
One-man barber shop with low
rent in residence communities
doesn't need to charge as high a
price as hotel establishments with
high rent. i
Under the new policy, national
service codes already in existence
will be continued, and their wage
and hour provisions will prevail;
But fair practice regulations and
prices will be entirely in the
hands of local committees.
The program amounts to in
definite continuation of the presi-
dents unemployment agreement
for these industries. with public
opinion left as the one real agency
for enforcement. The local COM
can withdraw Blue Eagles
from violators but that is all.
In order to help public opinion
along in these and other indus
tries, Administrator Johnson or

ers under the Blue Eagle display

Crawford Film
Held Over.

At the Palace this week is the
second showing of Metro-G Goldwyn-
Mayors "Forsaking All Others" :"
with Joan Crawford sharing star
ring honors with Clark Gable and
Robert Montgomery.
This is the story of three people
who have grown up from child
hood loving each other very much
three very modern musketeers.
Joan, at the pictures opening, is
just about to marry Robert Mont
gomery. Upon this scene of bliss
comes Clark Gable, just returned
from Spain and also of the idea
he wants to marry Joan.
Suddenly onto this dizzy triangle
happens the other woman "a for
mer flame of Montgomery's play
boy days in Europe). Somehow,
before you can say Jack Robinson,
the old flame ups and marries
Montgomery leaving our Joan chin
up and oh, so brave standing at
the altar.
1t is not until after an unfor.
tunate, though harmless, escapade
and an almost marriage to Mont.
gomery that Joan realizes it is
Gable she has really loved all
along.
There you have it-triangle
story stuff and all pretty tried and
hackneyed but expertly directed
by w. S. Vandyck whose scintillat-
ing dialogue and inimitable witty
touches save this from being just
another story of the high society
smart set.
Miss Crawford goes through her
part with just too, too much gaiety
and Clark Gable is miscast in his
part. However, it is Montgomery,
Billie Burke and Charles Butter
worth who make the picture the
gayest. Butterworth has never
been at a better advantage.
AS the other woman Frances
Drake is sufficiently full of calcu
lating cheapness.
The picture has been lavishly
mounted and Adrian contributes
his usual bizarre offerings to de-
light the feminine end of the audi
ence.
A Fitzpatrick travelogue, an ami
mated cartoon, a newsreel, and a
novelty of motorcycle policemen
complete an excellent bill.
