NRA DEATH IS.
TO Be GUIDE
Sees Excuse To
Hop on Additional
Powers Given F. d.
By Congress

WASHINGTON, May 30.-CPj-
out Of the weller of speculation and
ciashing counsels that followed
NRA's death. these three develop
ments emerged to gain attention
Thursday:
!. After President Roosevelt had
indicated he was watching the re-
action Of the country before decid-
came clear that many New Dealers
hope Tor mass pressure by the pub
lie TO aid them in s~alvaging fea-
lures of MIRA.
Z. Hugh 8. johnson, after q con-
ference with President Roosevelt,
came forward with a two-point plan
for a stronger. better, more per-
manent MIRA" and appealed to his
radio listeners to demand Of con-
gresS that everything left by the
courts decision be saved"
3. Senatorial foes Of NRA showed
q disposition 20 examine any new
plans with a critical eye. Senator
Clark D-Mo) said there was no
chance OF amending the constitu-
ton and limited at a prolonged
fight against such a proposal. Sen
ator Borah CR-Ida) declared that
any system of voluntary codes must
guard against "an possibility of
monopoly"
Meanwhile Senator Vandenberg
iR-Mich) sought TO get the senate
10 scrap the Roosevelt reciprocal
foreign trade agreement program,
contending that the NRA decision
showed congress unlawfully dele
gated treaty-making powers to the
president.
Though some administration ad-
visers had talked Of non-compul-
sorry codes. in which industry and
labor could join of their own free
will. many observers thought 1t was
apparent from Mr.. RooSevelt's re-
marks at his press conference late
Wednesday that he does not believe
q wholly voluntary system would
be adequate.
