NRA CAR RULE
AGAIN FAVORED
Roosevelt to ReSurrect One
Man Dictatorship, Is
Indication.
Copyright. 1885. by United Press


WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was revealed in au-
thoritative quarters today as pre-
pairing &c return NRA to one-man
control.
Functioning IF the seven-man ad-
ministrative board which took over
the recovery unit in october from
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson has been
beset with difficulties. 1t has been
virtually impossible to compose the
widely varying viewpoints Of mem
berS.
Looking forward to extension Of
the recovery act by Congress for a
two-year period after next June 16,
the President was reported planning
to put administrative authority
again in one mans hands, as in the
days of Gen. Johnson. To support
the administrator, an advisory board
would be set up with three party
representation, industry, labor and
the consumer.
A factor in this change of author
ity is the impending departure OF
several members of the present
board. None of them appeared in
line for the misunderstanding.
The search for an administrator
for the permanent job will be
complicated by the unusual require
ments. The re-framed Recovery
Act Is expected to provide for VOL
untary submission of codes, but to
give the President full power to i'm
pose labor codes. The adminiStra-
tor will have a major job of sales
manship."
Only man with industrial back
ground, officials claim, could handle
the negotiations, also he would need
extensive experience in important
connections, yet be free to lay aside
private business affairs to give his
full time to NRA.

TEACHERS COOL
TOWARD BILL ON
12-MONTHS PAY
Measure Seems Doomed to
Die in Committee,
Is Hint.

The White bill to spread teacher
salary payments over II months in
stead of combining them to the
school term, is languishing in the
Senate Education Committee and
probably will not be reported out,
unless there is more interest shown
by Indiana teachers.
The measure, introduced by Sen
ator E. Curtis White Cd, indian
apolis) seeks to correct the present
situation through which many
teachers find themselves without
funds during the summer months
and run up bills which keep them
broke" during large part of the
school term in which they receive
salaries.
Many teachers, it is claimed,
would prefer to have their salaries
spread over a year, receiving less a
month than they do under the
present system. The White bill
proposes to make the distributed
payments optional.
Senator Ward Biddle Cd, Bloom
ington), chairman of the Senate
Education Committee, said there is
a great deal of opposition to the
bill because of the manner in
which it would complicate the
bookkeeping of the school boards.
Backers Of the bill declare many
teachers favor it, but are afraid to
voice their support because of OPP
position Of the local school boards.
Floyd I. McMurray, State Super
N1tendent of Public Instruction, as
serts the distributed payment sys-
tenn is regarded by his department.
as good practice as long as it is
optional.

eraI Trade Board.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON. Feb 12-Mal-
colin McDermott. ace investigator
for the Federal Trade Commission,
was assigned today to the Indian
apolis gas case.
One of the primary objectives OF
his probe will be to definitely de-
termine whether Or not any of the
big natural gas pipeline companies
are backing the Users Gas Co., he
said.
If any interstate interests are in
volyed, such as the Universal Pipe
Line Co. and Frank A Vanderlip,
ST., the Federal Trade Commission
has complete jurisdiction, Nj. Nc
Dermott pointed out.
Senate Power Upheld
Their grant of power is given di-
rectly by a resolution Of the United
States Senate.
Last week the United States
Supreme Court upheld the Senates
investigation powers by ordering to
jail William P. Mac Cracker Jr..
who had defied them.
Attorney Clinton H. Given, at
torney for the Users Company, al
ready has announced that he would
refuse to tell Federal Trade Com
mission investigators the real own
ers and hackers of the company.
Informed of Mr.. Givans refusal
to divulge information at the Indi-
ana legislative investigation, Fed
eral Trade Commission officials eX-
pressed amazement. They were OF
the opinion that their revelations III
the electric utilities had caused
change Of heart among utility at
torneys and that such stone age
stuff" no longer was being reSorted
to by the new era" operators.
insult Attitude Recalled
The electric expose was largely
contributed to by Mr.. McDermott's
investigations.
The indianapolis case is his first
assignment to the general gas in
curry. which is to be scheduled for
public hearing some time next
month.
The conduct of Mr.. Givan and
the Users Company Smacked so
much of the heyday methods of the
electric utilities days when Samuel
insult reigneO that Colonel w. T.
Chantland, head of the Federal
Trade Commission legal staff con-
Quoting the whole gas industries
probe, asked McDermott to take the
Indianapolis case, the investigator
said.

ROAR OF ASSESSOR
IN CHECKING LISTS

Paul E. Teegarden, Washington
Township assessor, found himself
decidedly upset by the recent hue
and cry over the theft from North
Side homes of valuable oriental
rugs and other luXurieS.
He checked the assessors lists
returned by persons afflicted with
burglars, he said, and found no
mention of the oriental rugs and
other luXurieS.
So Mr.. Teegarden has sent post
cards, he said, and asked the VIC
Tins to come in and explain why
no tax was ever paid on the
oriental rugs and other luxuries.
