In contrast to conditions during the
"Red Shirt" activities against the
church a few months ago, mass is

time ago it was nearly impossible to
hear mass because Of the crowds In
the few churches in which priests
we're allowed to officiate. there Is no
longer any difIiculty.

tuting Task to Trade
Commission.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Trade Commission will
aid business arrange voluntary codes
to replace those swept away by the
Supreme Courts N. r. A. decision.
This task. 1t was disclosed authori-
tatively, was assigned by President
Roosevelt His action was regarded
by many as still further reducing the
scope of the substitute N. r. A. re-
Gently created by Congress.
The voluntary codes. 1t also was
learned. will not include wage and
hour agreements unless specifically
asked by industry. Attorney General
Cummings was said to doubt the
validity of such provisions.
Cummings. members of the Trade
Commission and James L. ONeill,
acting administrator of the recovery
agency. conferred with the President
yesterday. Decisions reached, 1t was
indicated. will preclude any presi-
Dental request for new N. r. A. legis-
lation at this session Of Congress.
Labor Wage Plan.
Nevertheless, labor will seek passage
of bill imposing wage and hour
agreements through the licensing of
businesses in interstate commerce.
William Green, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, was one of
those who talked with Mr. Roosevelt
yesterday. His impression was, he
said, that the administration would
not press for new legislation at this
time.
The Trade Commissions code as
signment was unexpected. Previously
it had been understood that the COM
mission and the midget N. r. A. would
cooperate in negotiating the codes.
Each was to be equally responsible
the commission handling trade prac-
tice provisions and the N. r. A. the
wage and hour sections.
E. L. Davis, chairman of the COM
mission, said 50 industries had in
quired about trade practice agree
ments. and added the commission
was ready to start at once in working
out the voluntary codes.
Presidents Interest.
Upon leaving the White House
Green said: The interest of the Pres
ident in N. r. A. has increased. He
feels some permanent institution must
be established"
The labor leader added. however,
that he do,hted Mr. RooSevelt would
press for new legislation at this time
because Of the shortness of time and
the state of mind in Congress"
The A. F. Of L. bill would set up a
five-man commission to prohibit trans
portation in interstate commerce of
products not manufactured in accord
ance with minimum wage and maxi
mum hour standards and other labor
conditions.

divide control of the Nations credit

C|TR0EN, CAR KING
OF FRANCE, IS DEAD
Paris Henry Ford Dies of
Grief After Big Plant
Passes From Him.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, July 3.-Andre Gustave
Citroen. 81. the Henry Ford Of
France" weakened by grief over the
difficulties of his business, died In a
hospital today after lingering illness.
Citroen's vast automobile plant,
once estimated to be worth 1000, ,000.-
900 francs, was forced into receiver
ship December 81. 1884, and its foun-
der finally was forced out of any &C
tive management of his companies.
The short. dapper engineer tried to
remain as a technical adviser. but an
investigation by auditors aroused such
opposition from stockholders and
creditors that he finally disappeared
He wasted away under worry and
went to the hospital several weeks ago
too late for an expected operation
on his stomach. He weighed only 10
pounds-half his normal weight
when he succumbed. Mourning over
the recent death Of daughter, as well
as distress over his business, had weak
ened his resistance.
Avoided Outside Control.
Until he was forced to ask a re-
ceivership for his crippled company
Citroen-who once dreamed Of tour
ist route across the Sahara Desert
refused steadfastly TO accept any out
side control of his affairs.
A gambler who had risked a fistful
of banknotes on the turn of a card,
he was little known personally to the
average Frenchman, who never visits
the casinos where the maker Of many
of their cars was a familiar figure.
Before he began developing small
automobiles after the war, Citroen
was an obscure engineer. born in
Paris February S. 1878.
He was associated before the war
with pioneer automobile works, the
Mors, no longer in existence. and he
was supposed to have made fortune
during the war, manufacturing NUM-
tions.
Followed Ford's Methods.
Quick to realize the production pos
sibilities of American methods. as
exemplified in the factories of Henry
Ford, Citroen began to put cheap
cars on the French market in 1919.
From the United States he borrowed
the Adeas of mass production, the
chain system of turning out cars
and standardization of parts. He
employed American designs, ma
chinery and patents.
Then he branched out into allied
fields, particularly motor bus lines.
The government was eager to keep
his company operating because he
supplied the army, navy and air serv-
ices with much of their motorized
equipment.
He and Nine. Citreon, the former
Mile. Bingen, were often seen at fash
ionable parties-members of the So
ciety known as Tout Paris"
Their daughters name WAS Jacque-
line. They also had two sons, Ber-
nard and Maxine.
