New Legislation Is Planned toKeep Certain NRA
 Principles
CONGRESS MAY BE
 IN SESSION LONG
Senator Black Advances His 30-Hour Week Pro-
 posal- Frazier Gloomy

WASHINGTON, May 28.--Specu- lat.on today ranged through be- wildering maze, tentatively with the assurance that men on Capitol Hill and in the Administration appeared to be canva sing the advis.bility of resorting to cne or more of the fol- lowing steps in a drive for new legislation applying the principles Of the minimum wages, maximum hours, collective bargaining and a ban on child labor to purely Inter state Commerce.
 Plans of Congress
 This might stretch Congress into August or beyond in an attempt to get the states to pass supplement- ary laws applying the principles to intrastate business in an effort to amend the Constitution to make NRA principles and . legal attempt to obtain legislation enforcing some of the MIRA principles by means of
 
 the Governments taxing power.
 Industry Invited
 An invitation to industry to join in voluntary agreements to observe certain practices and move is made to get Congress to grant tenn porary authority to the President to govern industry and labor relations during the interim.
 30-Hour Week
 Meanwhile, Senator Black of Ala bama, held out his 30-hour week bill to Administration leaders as a way out of the present dilemma. He contended MIRA has been destroyed beyond hope of resusitation but that his proposal was not touched by the decision and is now the only method for regulation of hours of work. The cost of MIRA to the Government and industry per year has been fifty five millions.
 Mortgage Moratorium
 Senator Frazier, co-author of the Farm Mortgage Moratorium Law, wiped out by the Supreme Courts decision, expressed little hope that new legislation in keeping with the courts objections, could be passed. Senator Frazier gloomily predict cd that mortgage holders who have been influenced by the law to re- duce their claims, would now Ego back to foreclosing."
 Farmers Must Organize
 Senator Frazier said it is the duty of debt-burdened farmers to organ ize to save their homes
 Some leaders among the Admin istration forces indicated they pro- posed AAA amendments be re- written in an attempt to save them from the same Supreme Court scythe that moved MIRA down.

Removal of Trade Commis- sioner Humphrey Ab-
 solutely Illegal

WASHINGTON, May 28.-A di- rect slap at President Rooseyelt's removal from the Trade Commits sion of the late William E. Hum phrey has been given by the Su- preme Court which has ruled that officials of Legislative or Judicial Federal agencies do not hold off, flee at the pleasure of the Presi- dent.

 PLEA TO EMPLOYERS
 NRA Administrator Don- aid R. Richberg, after a con- ference with President Roose- welt, issued a plea to employ CTS to continue to operate under their codes until new structure could be reared.
 In d statement, Adminis- trator Richberg said. "This decision of the Supreme Court makes codes and fair compe- tition unenforceable, as a mat ter of law. In difference to that ruling, all methods of compulsory enforcement of codes will be immediately sus- pended.
