NRA DEFENDED
BY JOHNSON

WASHINGTON, April 10. U.P)-
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, first ad-
ministrator of NRA, told the sem
ate finance committee today that
to destroy NRA now would be
"nke burning down your house to
get rid of a few rats in the attic. -
johnson took on his own shoulders
the blame for any shortcomings
NRA might have. He said:
81 do not contend that there
were not serious lapses in the ra-
pidity of progress (under NRA) +,
that rotten provisions did not creep
into codes, that personnel was far
from perfect. that code authorities
were properly organized, that ad-
ministration had been perfect or
even good.'
"But I do contend and l think /
can show that such faults as arose
are due to my bad administration
rather than bad law, that many il
not most of these errors of mine
are in the process of effective cor
rection.''
Johnson urged a definite and
strong policy for labor $50 clear
that there can be no doubt. E."

Nearly fifty representatives of twenyone cities
states of the Midwest met in Columbus Ohio, this week
and formed an alliance of cities for the purpose of max
ing united effort to Federal aid in laying mains
for piping natural into cities of this part OF the
country
The organization is headed by Councilman John
w. Smith, president Of the Detroit Common Council.
1t claimed by the proponents of the plan that the pro-
ect would only make natural gas available to con-
lower rate than artificial gas but would also
Jobs for thousands of unemployed They
also pointed out that the project would be sefquidat
ing.
The fact brought out at the Coulumbus meeting
that the gas of that city pay only forty cents
for each thousand meter feet of used against
seventy-seven cents for artificial gas in Detroit and
other cities in this locality This is about half Of the rate
charged in this community, in spite of the contention
that the natural gas used in Columbus. which is pipeo
from West Virginia is almost twice hot.
Surely, these interesting figures If better gas cal
be had lower rates. the promoters declare the
ject will doubtless find favor with the general public
and may evnualy receive Federal endorsement and fin
ancial aid.

THE WARM SPRINGS FOUNDATION

The citizens of the United States turned out in
throngs Wednesday, Jan. 80 at charity balls given in
honor of President Franklin ID. Roosevets fiftyhird
birthday The funds raised through these charity balls
is to be used in further augmenting the two million dol
lar foundation to perpetuate the Roosevelt Sanitarlum
at Warm Springs, Georgia.
In Detroit alone nearly twoscore charity balls were
held in all parts of the city and by people of all racial
and religious groups.
All this exactly it should be- for il is to help aid a
vital President Roosevelt has been greatly mprov
ed in health by the healing waters of Warm Springs,
Georgia in his fight to overcome nfante paralysis
with which he afflicted These healing waters should
be made available to everyman woman, and little enid
in the land who is may become vctmzed by this aw-
full malady.
1t is for that adequate foundation fund Is
being sought that victims who financially unable
TO go to Warm Springs and pay for treatment might be
aided through the fund
1t is matter of record that coored citizens not only
in Detroit and other parts of this section but in the East
the West, and the far South rallied in support of this
humanitarian movement regardless of the fact that
has been given that the healing waters of
Warm Springs will be made available for Negroes
rem and adults. afflicted with nfante paralysis be
given the opportunity that other victims will
ceve--the opportunity TO 30 to Warm Springs and be
healed? Will there be any healing balm in Georgia for
parayzed Negroes? We wonder
At any rate, we shall not become discouraged while
awaiting the answer to these queries We have the
strong belief that whether not permitted to
seek healing at Warm Springs medical science will soon
come to the rescure by perfectng serum which will
prove efficient in immunzing human beings from nfan

ed for protecting against small pox dphthera and
