Blue EAGLES
May Go BACK

Revised Program To
Stress Voluntary
B anding Together
Under Codes

NEW YORK, May 29.-P-Hugh
.. johnson, the first administrator
Of MIRA, returned 70 the circle Of
presidential advisors and went to
work drafting q tentative plan to
continue the regulation Of industry
under codes Of fair practices.
Johnson, the Associated Press
learned, was invited to the White
House to talk over the situation
caused by the ruling OF the supreme
court.
This invitation brought back to
the White House scene the man
who. with United States Senator
Robert +. Wagner, drafted the orig
ina National Industrial Recovery
Act.
The decision to ask johnson to
return, 1t vas learned, was made
late Tuesday and johnson at once
set to work in preparing new legis-
lation.
In one weIl-informed quarter,
the new legislation was outlined
tentatively along this line; congress
could give authority TO the Federal
Trade commission to suspend pro-
visions Of the anti trust act and
allow industry and labor to VOL
unfairly band together under codes
Of fair practice.
Industries so operating could be
given an insignia-the Blue Eagle
o something corresponding to it
TO show the public they we're oper-
afing under voluntary codes.
The voluntary factor would be
constantly stressed under this
tentative outline and industry would
more approximate Self-re sulation-
something big business has been
advocating for more than a decade.
IL was emphasized that johnson
would engage only in aiding the
drafting OF new legislation and
that he would not accept any adj
ninistrattve position.
