aHoneymoonn Is Ended

I believe it is not too much to
say that conditions in the MIRA and
AAA have added to the general un-
certainty concerning the political
and economic outlook of the admin
istration. In this connection 1t
should be mentioned that the Re-
publicans are showing signs of life
For instance, Republican Leader
Smell took shot at President
Roosevelt the other day that indi-
Gates a forthcoming deluge of crit
icism of him personally for the first
time since he entered the White
House.
The volume of mall being receiv-
ed on Capitol Hill tells its story as
well. Members of the house and
senate are beginning to inquire OF
each other what their political
course should be in view Of the
type of inquiries that are now being
received.
Through many months, the per-
sonal charm of the President has
seemed to prevent expressions of
critical nature and certainly has
held off complaints from the bust
ness section of the country. Certain
" those who have money invested
were not being told about future
plans. It seems now, however, that
the honeymoon" for which Mr.
Roosevelt asked has ended and thai
henceforth it will be a battle o.
realities.
The most direct attack upon tn,
President and upon the New Dea
came from Representative jaime
Wadsworth, a New York Republi
can. Mr.. Wadsworth stressed un
certainty. In fact, he called it on
of the three or four major "evils
of the administration.

NRA Up to Supreme Court

Washington-It appears that at
last all of those questions as to
whether the national industrial re-
covery act is going to be answered
by the Supreme Court of the United
States. That is, they will be ans
wered by a Supreme Court decision
unless the moving spirits in MIRA
decide again to dodge the issue as
they once have done.
Sometime ago w. E. Belcher, an
Alabama lumberman, ran afoul OF
a national recovery administration
code ruling and he was promptly
prosecuted. Lower courts decided
adversely to the government, how
ever, and the MIRA lawyers decided
to appeal. They wanted a Supreme
court decision. But before the case
reached the stage of argument be-
fore the highest court in the land
the Department of Justice suddenly
withdrew the petition and announc-
ed its refusal to prosecute Mr.. Bel
cher any further.
There Immediately was set up a
far-flung cry accusing the MIRA and
the Department of Justice of being
afraid of a constitutional test. Legal
brains of the Department of Justice
stood pat and offered no explana-
ton, but MIRA brain trusters let it
be known that they preferred to
aboid test at this time because
of the imminent expiration of the
industrial recovery act. They point
ed out that the law expires June 16
and that congress is now engaged In
consideration of a revision. The inn
plication was that the MIRA believ-
ed test in the Belcher case was a
waste of time and money because
Of the probability that a Supreme
Court decision would not be hand
ed down until after the present law
was no longer operative.
Now, however, the MIRA authori-
ties think they have found the right
kind of case for constitutional
test. They have announced they
will fight to have the act declared
constitutional in a case in which
the Schechter Live Poultry Market
of Brooklyn, N. Y, is accused of vi
olating the poultry code. So instead
of trying out the constitutional
question on boards, the brain trust
ers are seeking decision on the
hen.
The whole situation is regarded
by observers as being much con-
fused and no one seems to know ex-
actly what is behind the sudden re-
versal of position on the part of
MIRA and the Department of JUS
tice lawyers except a good many
folks think the MIRA could not stand
the gaff of countrywide editorial
criticism. It is true that after the
abandonment of the Belcher case
was announced, nearly every inn
portant metropolitan newspaper in
the country printed editorial COM
ment about the action and little of
It was favorable to the MIRA.
Politically, the Department of
Justices determination to avoid
test in the Belcher case already is
having repercussions. Barbs and
beckbiting are coming not alone
from Republican antagonists but
from among Democrats in congress
as well. Senator Hastings, a Della
ware Republican, and Senator
Clark, q Missouri Democrat, joined
In an effort to have Attorney Cen
eral Cummings reverse his position
and urged upon the head Of the De-

AUTOMOBILES
LEAD DRIVE
TO RECOVERY
Biggest October Out
put Since 1929 Marks
New High For All
Industry
Copyright. 1885. BY Cpd


NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The auto
mobile industry roared down the re-
e0very highway this week. stirring
the nations industrial activity TO
the fastest pace for this time Of year
IN a long period.
The biggest production OF new
automobiles tor October since 1929
lifted the Associated Press weekly
index Of industrial activity to a new
high for 1885.
L. fact. II touched the highest
level for the recover, with the ex-
ception of a brief period in July,
1888. when factories accelerated pro-
auction to a frantic pace in an eff
fort to beat" the oncoming MIRA
regulations and increased costs.
Steel production did almost as
well. The American Iron and Steel
Institute estimated production for
the week at 5i.8 per cent Of capa-
city, which Appropriated the out
put &C this time in 1880. The pre-
vious week ii was 50.4, and a year
ago 22.8.
Statistics appearing for the pre-
vious week showed q slight recession
IN electric power production, after
recording an all-time high In the
second week OF October.
Freight car loadings dipped a
trifle In the preceding seven day
period after reaching a new high
since autumn of 1881. This was re-
Rarded as due In part 10 unseason-
ably warm weather over much OF
the country.
The exceptional rate Of industrial
production at this time reflects In
considerable measure the introduce
ton earlier than usual Of new auto
mobile models, with the New York
automobile show opening this year
n week from Sunday, instead Of early
January. Whether this viii cut in
20 the gains expected later on, I'm
der previous production schedules,
remains to be seen.
The index Of industrial activity,
based on 1929-30 as 100. was placed
Saturday at SIS, compared with ITO
the previous week, and 62.5 q year
ago. The previous high for the year
was IT'S, registered last February.
The index. with seasonally ad-
tusted indices for six component
factors, follows:

In securities markets during the
week ended Friday, a new high level

They gained a total of $500 TO
bring the average price 70 $3.50.
Thirty industrial shares roSe S2.50

SILENT ON KARP|S
U. S. Agents Refuse Com.
ment on Gangs Link With
Weyerhaeuser Case.
BY the Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
Published theories that remnants of
the Barker-Karpis gang may be re-
sponsible for the 100000 abduction
Of little George Weyerhaeuser at
Tacoma. Wash, drew terse mo
comment" from Justice Department
officials today.
Director J. Edgar Hoover is known
TO be in constant communication with
the &c" men in the Pacific North
west. But if they have reported that
members of the Barker -Karpis gang
are suspected that must go uncon-
firmed, according to department policy.
Two Barkers Killed in Florida.
Hoover's last published report on
Alvin Karpis-only leader of the
kidnap-bank bandit gang not dead or
behind bars-dates back to the slay-
ing of Ma" and Fred Barker by Gov
ernment agents in Florida, jan
uary l6.
Speaking of the gang then, he said !:
'As long as it was at large we felt
that kidnapping or big bank rob-
berry might take place at any time"
Little information concerning VOL
ney Davis and Harry Campbell, de-
scribed as lesser members of the mob
who are still fugitives, has been given
at the Justice Department.
Gang Believed Needing Money.
When girl friends or Karpis and
Campbell, abandoned in shooting
affray at an Atlantic City hotel, re-
ceived five-year prison terms several
weeks ago, Hoover praised the judge
but insisted there was nothing new"
on the two men,
Karpis and Campbell, the latter
clad in underclothes, escaped at At
lantic City by firing at police with a
machine gun
Karpis is known to be familiar with
most of the country. He and his as
sociates probably are badly in need
of money. Recently it was learned
that Karpis spent more than $25 900
during a sojourn in Cuba.
Karpis' record includes time served
in Kansas prison and arrests in
Missouri and Oklahoma.
