OE4NS0N DENIES "D0CTORING" CODES
Is Asked TO
Fire TwO

Removal of Alvin T. Fix and
William E. Brown, collector and
assistant collector of Internal
Revenue of the Philadelphia dis
trict, was recommended to Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau
today by the United States Civil
Service Commission.
The men are charged with
soliciting contributions for poll
tical purposes.
Five Suspensions Urged
On similar charges the com.
mission recommended the suspen,
sion for one year without pay
Of Robert M. Black, chief of the
narcotic division: John ]. Gegan,
cashier; Henry L. Haines, chief
OF the field division and Patrick
j. Reilly, chief of the income tax
unit, and one months suspension
without pay of Randall H. Rob.
erts, chief of the tobacco division.
In making the recommendations
to the Treasury chief, the COM
mission said:
I'm reaching this decision, the
commission has before it rather
vOluminOuS testimony. This
testimony was gathered by a
representative of the Treasury
Department and of the Civil
Service Commission. Over 100
persons were questioned and of
these Al testified that it had
been suggested to them that it
would be wise to make a pOliti-
cal contribution"
knowledge General
The commissions report points
out that knowledge of the levy
was general and that it would
have been impossible for those in
authority not to have been aware
of what was going on in their
offices.
In justice to the accused of.
ficialS, however. it was stated that
private gain was not indicated in
any case. The report, concludes
'Tn . considerable degree
they were victims of q custom
for which they were not re-
SpOnSible. Nevertheless these
men knew the law and they
violated it,"
Attention was drawn to pre-.
viouS cases OF removal and sus-
pension for similar offenses. The
conclusion was drawn that if
more drastic action had been
taken in these cases the present
necessity for action would never
have arisen.
Custom Long Standing
Testimony showed that it had
been the custom for some time,
under both Republicans and
Democratic and Republican ad-
ministrationS. for employees in
these offices to make political con-
tributions.
The statement was made:
apparently it has been a
regular custom in the PhiIadeI-
phia collectors office"

NEW BARROW
CHARGES HIT
IN REPLY
No Secret Revisions Made,
Says NRA Head; President
Wrote in Some Changes

Flatly denying charges Of the
Darrow review board that codes
had been altered "surreptitiously,"
Recovery Administrator Hugh s.
johnson prepared today to answer
the second report of the board set
up by President Roosevelt to pro
tect the interests of the "littlt
fellow"
The second report, covering IA
codes, finds evidence of price fix
ing and price boosting in the &C.
ment and lumber industries, but
General johnson refused to dis
cuss any other phase of the re-
port except to declare that both
he and President Roosevelt had
penned insertions into many OF
the codes after they came to their
desks for approval. He added:
"These insertions and cOrrec-
tons appear in nearly so per
cent of the codes, but none Of
them were made SurreptitiOuSly.
Some of them were made by
me, and some Of them were
made by President Roosevelt"
REPLY TO BE ISSUED
General Johnson said the pre-
mature publication of the second
Darrow report would not hurry
him to make an immediate reply,
and that he would await the re-
ports of the various divisional and
assistant administrators to whom
the findings of the review board
were made. ea..
The report was to have been
made public Thursday afternoon
by Presidents Roosevelt, with &C.
sco4nl Fii replies by the re-
scoveTy administration.
johnson Attacked
While Secretary Ickes is praised
in the report, General johnson
again draws the ire of the board.
Although the report does not
name General Johnson, the in
ference is that the administrator
should be dismissed unless it Is
desired to cast the whole expert
ment of the national recovery act
into the hands of irresponsible
dictatorship" The report says:
TN our judgment, the rule
of the military commander is
totally unsuited to the genius,
habits, traditions, or psychology
Of the American people and
wholly Intellectual in meeting
the present national crisis"
The report includes also find
ings on such codes as the gen.
eral retail trade and the retail
food and grocery business.
Codes Called Unfair
It continues the trend of the
boards first report, when a re-
view of eight codes found monop-
olistic tendencies under the Blue
Eagle" Besides pointing out the
monopolistic trend of the recov-
cry administration, the second re-
port finds in particular that
seemingly innocent discount and
quality provisions in several
codes actually create a situation
oppressive to small enterprise
and unfairly advantageous to big
industrial units.
The second report also finds
that trade associations, having as
members many large firms, have
written the codes to their own
advantage, and have then had
their boards changed into code
authorities to administer the
codes.

.ICKES DENIES SITE
TO DIRIGIBLE FIRM
Gravelly Point Permit for Akron
Corporation Was Favored
and Opposed.

Secretary Ickes has rejected a pro-
posal to permit the Goodyear-zeppe-
lin Corp. of Akron, Ohio, to erect a
dirigible hangar at Gravelly Point,
near the Mount Vernon Memorial
Highway. c. Marshall Finnan, su-
perintendent of the National Capital
parks, had recommended that such a
permit be denied.
Thomas S. Settle. secretary Of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, and T. J. Jeffers, en-
gineer, urged that the firm be granted
permit, contending the law pro-
hibitS such action only within the
District of Columbia and that the
Mount Vernon Memorial Highway is
not now considered in the District.
Although the Planning Commission
has not taken official action on this
question, in the past it has empha-
sized its favoring of the development
of Gravelly Point as an airport. Set
tie and Jeffers held that permission
to utilize a dirigible hangar there
would be start toward realizing
this.

The lineup of idle and working

since the North Carolina flying squad
ronS spent their strength Thursday.
Many of them, however, were small

Russia. once considered the element
| of disorder and aggressiveness in the
family of nations, is rated today es a
country which will help stem the dis
order in the world.
European historians consider the
year 1888 as the turning point for the
Soviet; that is to say, the year when
Hitler took over the reins of govern
ment in Germany.
1t is true. they say, that the
MoscoW government continues to
consider capitalism as the chief
enemy of the people, but the cdpi-
talist states, according to Stain,
are divided into ttOo groups: Those
wtich are preparing for another
udr and those 1Uho are seeking
peace.
The Soviet republic needs peace in
! order to prove the efficacy of their
| doctrines. The slightest conflict might
jeopardize their carefully laid pro-
gram. Hence, they must side with the
less aggressive capitalistic nations in
| order to prevent the outbreak of an
| other war. Since the Soviet leaders
consider themselves menaced in the
West by Germany and in the East by
Japan, they had to turn toward
| France and her associates.
Contradictions in Soviet.
There are, of course, contradictions
in the new policies of the Soviet gov
ernment. Stain, the leader of the
Communists of the world, made re-
Gently a statement which is distinct
in opposition with the Communist
doctrines: I'VE do not desire to take
a square foot of territory belonging to
other nations, but we shall fight to
the last drop of blood to preserve every
inch of our land" The International
Communistic doctrine provides that
there shall be no longer international
barriers and frontiers.
| 1t was pointed out to him that the
japanese and the German people were
sitting within their narrow borders
and that they would like to take ad-
vantage of the rich and scantily popu-
lated Russian territory, which can
/ feed hundreds of millions more people.
Stain, thought for a second and re-
piled, Eyes, We would gladly break
down the barriers which separate us
from these people the day they
all become Communists" Until that
day comes, the Russian armies will
defend every inch of the Soviet ter
ritory.
Japanese Ingenious.
The japanese are ingenious in their
efforts to conquer the world markets.
Some weeks ago, the German market
was flooded with razor blades from
Japan, which were underselling those
manufactured by the famous steel
plants at Solingen, Germany. These
blades were marked: Made in
Solingen."
This was much more than the Ger
man manufacturers could stand. They
went to well-known lawyer who
urged them to prosecute the Japanese.
There was no doubt that they would
win the case. He was mistaken. It
developed, before the case was taken
into court, that the japanese had
named Solingen the village in Japan
where the factory manufacturing razor
blades was located.
1t is not an easy job to be men,
ber Of the MuSsolini cabinet. Not
only does he work his associates to
death, but he also puts them to
physical tasks which are beyond their
capacity.
