Promotion of Richberg
Seen as Calming in
N. R. A. Disquiet.
BY PAUL MALLON.


THE story behind the promotion
Of Donald Richberg is that Mr.
Richberg has just about reach
l. ed the limit of his N. r. A.
endurance.
He is q very patient man, but his
associates have noted privately that
he has found it increasingly difficult
lately to work with his good friend
Gen. johnson.
That is not hard to understand,
Messrs. johnson and Richberg are Of
entirely different temperaments. Mr..
Richberg is the cool, calculating law
yer; Mr.. johnson Is the tense, nervous
top sergeant. They were able to march
along for months, side by side. without
difficulty, mainly because Mr.. Rich
berg always gave in to the general.
There is always a limit to such
arrangements. II the N. r. A. in
stders can trust their eyes and ears,
noting little differences cropping up
here and there, the limit was
reached about ttDo tDeeks ago, prob
ably entirely unknot0n to Gen.
Johnson.

R0SS0N RECOVERING
Huband of Jean Harlow Soon to
Return to Work.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, July R.-
Hal Rosson, estranged husband Of the
flm star Jean Harlow and one Of
the movie industry's ace cameramen,
is out Of quarantine for infantile
paralysis and was told by his ply
sicians yesterday his complete recovery
is only a matter Of days.
II will spend the next few days
taking treatments at the Orthepedic
Hospital and then expect to 60 back
to work." Rosson said.
Neither Rosson nor Miss Harlow,
who is planning q vacation In Homo
lulu, would discuss rumors in the
fln colony. now somewhat discounted.
TIT there might be q reconciliation.
Evening star., 1934-07-05

It was then that the buzz went
around the inner circle that Mr.. Rich
berg was getting rather tired Of his
NJ r. A. work His pals made no
mention of the general. but they
pointed out that Mr.. Richberg could
make far more money at the much
more pleasant task Of private attor-
ney.
Still Good Friends.
There was no blow-up. johnson
and Richberg we're good friends, and
probably still are. Nevertheless. the
hint was dropped by those in the
know that If President Roosevelt went
off to Hawaii, leaving Johnson in
charge of the N. r. A, he probably
would not find Mr.. Richberg among
those present on his return.
That is just the kind Of crisis which
Mr.. Roosevelt seems to Se most adept
at handling. In fact, he has never
lost a case, even that aggravated case
Of George Peek and the A. A. a.
The cure he effected this time was
exactly the same one he used on
Peek 1t has come to be known as
the smooth promotion cure.
Opening Is Presented.
1t so happened that Mr.. Roosevelt
was looking for a man Of Richberg's
primary caliber to take Frank Walk
ers job during the Summer You
may recall that, at the time Peek had
difficulties with the Tugwell-
faction, 1t SO happened that Mr..
Roosevelt was looking for q foreign
trade man to put the tariff policy in
the cooler.
The swap worked even more beau-
side was the wiser.
The final outcome of the STUD
ton Is not yet clear, probably not
even to Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t is all
settled until September 1, but no
one knotrs Uhat DiH be done then.
There are insiders who believe Mr..
Roosevelt is grooming Mr.. Richberg
to take Gen. Johnson's place in case
johnson retires then. There are two
things wrong with that theory. One
is that Richberg needs no grooming
and the other is that johnson has
been hanging on to his job tenaciously
with White House encouragement and
approval. Most people will no longer
accept reports Of his retirement until
they see him walk out the door.
VIII Not Return.
OF one thing you may be quite cer-
tain. Mr.. Richberg will not go back
into the N. r. A. as long as johnson
is running it. You can understand
how that Is.
Mr.. Richberg got of to a bad start
by being mentioned In the public
prints as the acting President during
Mr.. Roosevelt's absence. Neither Mr..
Richberg nor the White House circle
liked that.
Apparently no one is to be acting
President, unless it is Louis Ho,Ue,
but Mr.. Rtchbero tUiH be as i'm
portdnt as any one else. To show
you hotD important he has become,
he Drote Mr.. Roosepelt'S erecutiUe
order Utich will cut building prices
IS per cent belotO the code prices.
There were quite a few congress
sionaI eyebrows raised when Mr..
Roosevelt signed the Frazier-Lemke
farm mortgage bill.
The truth Is that certain admins
tration leaders in Congress were per-
mitted to understand that they could
pass the measure because it was GER
tain to be vetoed. One administration
leader spread the word around the
Senate room to that effect.

Mr.. Hazen said he had not
read the proposed bill, but he
believes the State should have
legal betting and racing as "prac-

lation of the law, and bookmak-
ing and betting is done at all
of these races under no super
vision" Many of them are

PARIS, August 31-WhaS he called
the constant threat of doom to great
European cities by air raids was vividly
described today by Pierre Cot, minister
of air, after French aerial maneuvers
in which defenses of Paris were tech
nically crushed.
Our mistake is judging the possi-
bilities of modern aviation on a basis
of that during the war" he said. We
forget that during the last war bonn
bardments were small.
I'VE forget also that during all of
the war London received but 80 tons
of bombs, which made 1900 victims
Today an aerial feet could easily drop
300 tons on London in one day. Ten
days of such bombardment would
produce 10000 victims. No capital
could resist such slaughter"
"a single plane loaded with in
cendiary bombs could start more fires
than the Paris Fire Department could
fight. Imagine an attack combining
incendiary gas and bombs. 1t would
be panic"
He urged a reduction in French
army and navy credits and a doubling
of air credits, at the same time in
sisting that the only solution would
be a world agreement to abolish mill
