The navy plans to lay down

planning aircraft expansion. The
regular army budget calls for
purchase of ACT new planes and

The navy's airplane appropriation
of S39,5O0,0O0 will be used lar

WOULD FOREC0
INTERSTATE :
CODES, HESAYS
Submission To Codes In
Future To Be Voluntary
Affair
IDEAS ARE OFFERED
BEFORE COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, Mar. 7. (UP).
The extension of the NRA for
two years with elimination of all
codes affecting intrastate COM
merce was recommended to the
senate finance committee today
by Donald R. Richberg, President
Roosevelt's recovery coordinator.
Admitting that under the exist
ing administration of the recovery
act many individuals had suffered
"hardships or injustice" Richberg
submitted II recommendations for
altering and strengthening the re-
covery agency.
Provision should be made for
voluntary submission of Codes"
Richberg said as the committee
began hearings under the Nyc-
McCarran resolution to investi-
gate alleged monopolistic prac-
tees in the NRA.
However, codifcation should
be limited to those trades and in
dustries actually engaged in inter
state commerce or affecting it so
substantially that the establish
ment and enforcement of stand
ards of fair competition are neces-
sary for the protection Of inter
state commerce. he said.
The recovery act has suffered
several setbacks in the federal
courts, particularly the Weirton
steel case, which was ruled UNI
constitutional if applied to intra-
state commerce.
Richberg said that the Presi-
dent should be given authority TO
impose "limited" code whenever
there is no code in effect, but
that congress itself should set Tire
standards of minimum wages and
hours in such cases.

.BORAH Holds IN WASHINGTON
Federal Judge Borah Pre-
viously Had Upheld The
Government

NEW ORLEANS, La. March
.7.-CUP)-Federal Judge Wayne
G. Borah yesterday ruled the en-
tire NRA is unconstitutional.
He gave no reasons for his de-
cision. He had previously upheld
the government in several cases
involving NRA codes.
Yesterday he denied the gov
ernment's request for an injunc-
ton against the Hammond Box
company of Hammond, La, seek
ing to prevent the company from
further alleged violations OF
wages and hours provisions Of
the NRA code.
Explaining his position, Judge
Borah said he had previously
granted injunctions against code
violations because in those cases
all concerns of a certain industry
were enioined. No one firm was
signaled out for discrimination.
IL did not believe it was nee
essary to rule on the constitution
atty of the act in previous cases
because the injunctions sought
did not injure the defendants, "
he said.
An injunction against the Ham,
mond company would be injuri-
Gus, he said, because it was en-
gagged in interstate commerce and
competed with firms outside the
jurisdiction of the court.
1t was believed the government
would not prosecute any more
NRA code cases in this district,
as a result of the decision.

Grafton of Senator John Sprunt
Hills bill to establish liquor stores
in North Carolina was begun in
the state senate yesterday.
Senator Hill, steering his bill,
submitted amendments to the
statewide referendum feature

cent of the voters for a local
election.
The appropriations committee
hopes to report the bill by Fri
day. It carries estimated annual
allotments of $33,000,000. Unof-
fetal estimates place the appro-
priations bill some s3,000,O0O
above the revenue expected from
the money bill.
The joint finance committee
recessed yesterday as state reve-
nue. department officials made es-
Inmates of revenue to be produced
