Copyright, 1885, by the Associated Press)
A survey indicated today that q
sizable majority of the Senate Fl
nance Committee approves extension
Of the life of the national industrial
recovery act-though with changes Of
varying nature and scope.
This committee is now considering
the Blue Eagles future.
Flat opposition to prolongation OF
the recovery act which expires on
June Is unless Congress does some
thing about it, was expressed by three
Democrats of the committee.
Most of the remaining members OF
the committee of 81 voiced acceptance
Of N. r. A. principles. at least in part,
but each stipulated that changes
should be made in the act in the in
terests of an improved execution OF
principles. Two Senators refused to
talk.
Enactment Predicted.
Most members also predicted that
a new N. r. A. law would be enacted
after sharp battling in committee and
on the floor
After hearing opinions from all
quarters of the business world as we'll
as from Hugh S. johnson, original
Blue Eagle chief, the committee Is
considering bill introduced by Sem
ator Harrison, Democrat, of Missis-
sippi, committee chairman. Harri-
son has expressed willingness to
accept changes.
The nearest approach to advocSy
Of extension of the act in its present
form came from Midwestern Repub-
lican. II am for it, he said. There
may have to be few changes, but
not many. The N. R. A. has been
a wonderful thing"
The sharpest attack was fired by a
Southern Democrat. I'm against the
whole damn thing" he said. "It hurts
small businesses, helps big ones. 1t
has retarded rather than aided re-
| covery."
Typical Expression.
A view frequently heard is best ex-
pressed in the words of Democrat
from an Eastern manufacturing State:
THE N. r. A. has done a lot OF
good, elimination Of child labor. i'm.
| provement in wage conditions and
that sort Of stuff.
II have been wondering whether 1t
should be limited to interstate COM
| merce. That's pretty hard thing to
define, you know.
And then there's the price fixing
angle. That's a mighty hard SUBJ
ject to analyze and legislate about.
The question of whether to limit
| the N r. A. solely to wages and hours
has me buffaloed."
Objector Wants Test.
One of the objectors to extension
/ gave this explanation of his stand:
Generally. I'm against the exten-
sion of the N r. A. have thought,
though, that if it is to be extended, it
should retain pretty much its present
| form so that we could have Su-
preme Court test of its constitu-
tionality.
Maybe they don't want Supreme
Court test and will try to weave the
| things into the warp and woof Of our
scheme of things by making changes
so fast there will never be chance
for the Supreme Court to get to l."

c. F. Schnabel of Kansas City, who
made the report. said the great food
value of grass had remained unknown

when the grass was too old. Old
grass, he said, loses two-thirds of its
food values.
He tested young cereal grasses such
as oats, wheat. barley and rye, cut
ting them before they formed their
first joints. He said that one pound
of this grass contained as much vita

ACTION DELAYED
Two Other Measures to Be

amendment proposed by Representa-
tive Palmisano, Democrat, Of Mary
land to force into the open only bars
in establishments suspected of de-
frauding the public, has failed to
stop the avalanche of objections.
The decision to delay consideration
of the Dirksen bill leaves only two
important District bills on the calen-
dar for the House to pass on-orie
authorizing the Commissioners to use
the unexpended balance of an au-
thorized $10,750. 900 p. w. A. loan for
construction Of . courts building in
Judiciary Square and the other de-
signed to expedite action on appeals
from decisions Of the Public Utilities

ment to be offered by Representative
