Watchd0gS at Capital
Preparing to Protect
Interests of Consumers
Rapid Shifts Made in
Recent Weeks of
Advisory Board.

By Scripps- HO toGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. ga new
pack of watchdogs has been in
stalled in the government to pro-
tect the interests of the consumer.
The AAA and the NRA at the
start of the New Deal set up Spe-
cial divisions to protect all of us, as
consumers. against the practices
of nearly all Of Us, as producers,
distributors, financierS and exploit
ers. The late Mrs. Mary RumSey,
head of the MIA Consumer AdviS-
DRY Board, was appointed by PreSi-
dent Roosevelt to seat in his
super cabinet" the National Emer-
gency Council.
Rapid shifts in recent weeks have
completely changed the situation.
Here are the new watchdogs:
Criticise All Codes
Emily Newell Blair is chairman Of
the NRA Consumers Advisory
Board. Best known as a magazine
writer and politician, former vice
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. Small, dark, low
voiced. amiable. Her husband was
lately named an official in the JUS
tice Department. She succeeds Mrs.
Rumsey. Her chief aid is Corwin
Edwards, heavy-set young economist.
They and their staff cr1ticlse all
NRA codes.
Thomas G. BlaiSdell Jr. is chair
man of the consumers division OF
the National Emergency Council,
also succeeding Mrs. Rumsey. Young,
red-headed, grins most of the time.
A friend and co-Worker of Jerome
Frank and Fred Howe, victims of
the AAA purge of left-wingerS, he
was taken over for the NEG by Re
covery Co-Ordinator Donald Rich
berg at the same time. Appears to
be just as liberal as they, but per-
haps less aggressive.
Calvin B. Hoover, 37-year-old
economist from Duke University,
completes the picture. He is DR..
Howe's successor as AAA Consumers
counsel, operating in a recently re-
stricted field Heretofore he has
been an economic adviser in the
Agriculture Department. He started
in his new job by Directing to a
Boston milk marketing agreement on
the ground that distributors as well
as producers would profit from a
retail price increase. But Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace came
out at once with the statement that
consumer prices we're not the prov
ince of AAA.
DIR. Hoover Veteran
DR.. Hoover is a war veteran and
spent several years studying Russian
economic problems. His beSt-known
New Deal contribution was study
of abuses visited upon share
troopers in the South under the
crop reduction program.
The AAA group will continue one
activity connected with field con-
sumner work, publication of its
magazine, ''The Consumers Guide, y
giving official information on retail
food prices and other market-baske
data.
The NEG group circulates SINH
lar publication among 200 county
consumer councils that have been
set up to check on retail prices and
to act when one item rises out Of
line with other prices.
The rest of. the work is statistical
and factual, aimed at heading off
code and marketing agreement pro-
visions which would lead to exploit
tation of consumers.
