NEW OUTLINE
Of NRA GIVEN
To CONGRESS
Senator Harrison Presents His
Plan For Continuing Program
In Next Two Years

WASHINGTON, March %. W.P)--
A new NRA bill, abandoning fed
eral attempts to regulate purely
intra- state business but strength
ening several other aspects of NRA,
was laid before congress today.
Sen. Pat Harrison (Dem) Missis-
sippi, chairman of the senate fin
ance committee and administration
spokesman introduced the measure
with the avowed purpose of getting
the NRA extension question down
to brass tackS in order to assuage
uncertainty which is impeding
business and causing grave labor
unrest.
While Harrison said the commit
tee was expected to make many
changes, the bill was believed to
represent the trend of administra-
ton views.
It would extend NRA for two
years beyond the present June 16
expiration, with several nj a or
changes.
These are:
/. Definitions of interstate COM
merce and labor rights are reWrit-
ten in a manner calculated to
strengthen the act In the courts,
where the government has lost
many recent cases.
2. Regulations of purely intra-
state commerce is abandoned, fore
shadowing dropping of the trouble
some service trades codes.
3. Collective bargaining and labor
organization guarantees of section
IA are re-enacted, and are de-
fined as "rights of employees, -
which are hereby declared and af~
firmed" This declaration Of pol
icy by congress, 1t was believed,
would enhance chances of the sec
ton surviving constitutional tests.
4. The previous lifting of the an
THRUST laws is modified and the
President before approving the code
would have to be satisfied that
1t did not operate to oppress small
industries or permit monopolies or
monopolistic practices.
The section for the establishment
of codes of fair competition pro-
vides that code may be promul-
gated by the President only after
he finds that:
1. The group asking them is truly
representative and places no in
equitable restrictions on member
ship.
2. The code does not operate to
oppress small industries or to pro-
mulgate monopolies or monopolistic
practices.
The code contains provisions to
make section 7 (A) effective and
is designed to effectuate the policy
of the act.

Although century plants of the

favorable cottditions, authorities
state, the plant will bloom every 90
years, the local specimen being liv-

rection."
Chasing antelopes on horseback and
shooting them down while going at full
gallop was one direction Of Mrs. Wads-
worth's ability as an equestrienne.
She was said to have combined the arts
OF civilization with the skill of the abor-
igine.
Mr.. Proctor, the correspondent
wrote, was a crack shot" himself. In
fact, he was widely known in the east
ern portion Of Montana territory as an
expert marksman. It was with some
establishment, while he was visiting
at the Wadsworth ranch, that Mrs.
Wadsworth challenged him to a shoot
ing match. The chivalry Of the range
was no less impressive in its exercise
than it was in the days when Knight
hood was in flower" in England. With
becoming grace and no doubt polite
modesty, Mr.. Proctor accepted the chal-
lenge. A target was set up. At the
conclusion Of the shooting it was as
certained that Proctor was fairly beat
en-, as Mrs. Wadsworth made the top
score.
Inspired by the reading of the ac-
count, the editor Of the Stockgrowers'
Journal, S. A. Marine, Of Miles City,
added his praise to the skin and ability
Of Mrs. Wadsworth. He had visited
the Wadsworth ranch and could "also
testify to the grace and skill of Mrs.
Wadsworth as an equestrienne-and
say, she doesn't bit mind wearing the
most comfortable clothes when riding,
and has common sense enough to ride
on both sides of the horse when it Is
safest and most comfortable to do so.
When she wishes to she wears a dainty
fitting pair of pantaloons, and is not

is a thoroughly accomplished little lady
