NEW NRA CHIEF
is REPUBLICAN,,
DRAWS NO PAY
Office Boy at Is, 0'NeiII Is
Serving in Public Job
First Time.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, June 20-A Re
publican banker from New York
who was an office boy at IS is di-
recting the new NRA's efforts to
prevent child labor, wage-cutting
and unfair trade practices under
voluntary codes.
James L. O'Neill is a blue-eyed
man of 81, cheerful, quiet and easy
TO get along with. He had worked at
NRA just six months before being
appointed acting administrator.
He came to NRA on leave of alb
sence from the Guaranty Trust Co.
of New York. of which he was OPP
Grating vice president. He has been
regarded as protege of Averell
Hartman. who is retiring as NRAs
administrative officer to take charge
again of the Union Pacific Railroad.
Leave Ends Sept 1
Mr.. O'Neill has held no previous
public position, and has joined no
public causes or movements.
He is working without pay, and
his leave from the bank expires
Sept. l. The bank lent" him to
NRA on request of the National Re-
covery Board, to do the same sort
of job he did for the bank-person-
mel management and coordination.
He is well regarded at NRA for what
he has done so far.
Born in Pittsburgh in 1881, he
first worked as office boy for Brad
streets financial rating servite and
predecessor of Dun 81 Bradstreet.
At Is he went to work for Carnegie
Steel Co. for which he worked for
% years. He was its credit manager
when he went with Guaranty Trust.
Wears Coat in Office
At the outset of the skeleton"
NRA he is leaning on the advisory
council set up by President Roose-
welt for guidance on policy matters.
This council, he said, will seek to
determine soon what sort of indus
trial proposals for cooperation can
be recommended to the President
for approval within the antitrust
laws. 1t will also determine the ex-
tent to which publicity should be
given industry's proposals and NRA's
consideration of them.
Mr.. ONeill walks around NRA's
hot corridors and drops into offices
of his council members instead of
summoning them to his office. He
meets the press in his own stuffy lit
tie inside Office, pending the time
when Donald R. Richberg moves his
files out of the administrator Of
fees.
His banker" appearance extends
to wearing a stiff collar and coat
on one of Washington'S hottest days.
