NRA DECISION
May CUT into
PARTY LINES
Sentiment Of Nation
To Be Awaited By
F. d. Before A n y
New Steps Taken

WASHINGTON. June l.-tRE
The supreme court-New Deal dis
agreement over NRA was being
measured in the political world Sat-
urday night as a potential cleaver
Of party lines in 1886.
President Roosevelt, in posing
the issue as between federal and
state power over national economic
and social conditions. set off dif-
ferenceS among both democrats and
republicans.
That business and industry would
divide, too, whatever the past party
loyaltieS, was indicated by the
divergent comment following the
supreme court decision.
Should Americas l26, 900 Spir-
itedly accept the issue Is defined
by the president. expectations were
for months and possibly years OF
dispute that might lead 10 perman-
ent realignment.
Several factors need TO be clari-
fled. however. before the party
captains will count on the issue
being so focused. First, MICH
depends on how the New neal han
dies the situation.
II no attempt to require NRA in
constitutional form is made. and
informed sources said Saturday no
stop gap" legislation was planned
Immediately, the reaction OF the
country will be a guide to what TO
expect.
Second, what the supreme court
does in the fall with the agricul-
tural adjustment administration
and the securities commission will
motivate party strategy. Mr.. Roose-
Welt considered these jeopardized by
the NRA decision. evidently looking
toward farm sentiment for support
In a campaign that may see hi2
demanding constitutional reform.

case. He vas indicted and brought
to trial and it was my duty to pro-
secute, which I did 10 the best Of
my ability" he stated.
Had Fair Jury Trial
Collins and Cavazos had a fair
jury of representative citizens Of the
Valley, and a fair trial Judge, .
Rentfro stated. Governor Alfred
was not present at the trial. The
jury Of IL men was present as was
Judge Atwell. They found him guilty
and CavazoS with him, and Judge
Atwell stated in open court that he
considered the verdict a fair one
and fixed Collins punishment at
three years In the state penitentiary
and Cavazos' at two years. Gov.
Alfred says the record is unsatis-
factory to him. He was not present
at the trial. The jury and Judge
Atwell we're at the trial and heard
the witnesses OF which Gov. Alfred
complains in his proclamation OF
pardon. It seems TO me that the
judge and jury were in much better
position to judge the merits Of the
case than is Governor Alfred"
Expressing resentment over the
action Of the governor and parti-
cularly over the wording Of the pro-
clamation Of pardon, Rentfro stated
his determination to take the mat
ter Of the pardon up with Judge At
well. before whom the case was
tried in federal court.
The district attorney questioned
the authority Of the governor to
pardon a prisoner or prisoners con-
victed in federal court, especially
when an appeal was pending and
the guilt Of the parties in question
not finally determined by the courts.
Il again ask. will every officer
under indictment or under convic-
ton be pardoned by the governor,
az If so, what is the sense in the
state going TO the expense OF prose-
cution?" Rentfro concluded.

.5PCT. MAXIMUM
RATE IS IN EFFECT.
Interest Charges Cut on In
Sured Housing Mort
cages.

Establishment Of the maximum in
terest rate allowed on all classes OF
insured mortgages at . maximum OF
5 per cent per annum as Q means of
standardizing mortgage rate procedure
is now in effect, according to an an
nouncement by Acting Federal Hous-
ing Administrator Stewart Mcdonald.
Emphasizing that this Is the max
imum allowable, Mcdonald said lower
interest rates on insured mortgages
may be charged by lending tnstitu-
tions at their own discretion. This
change has the effect Of standardiz-
ing interest rate procedure In every
insuring Office in each of the 48 States,
the District of Columbia, Hawaii and
Alaska. Reduction Of insurance pre-
miums has been made on all classes Of
insured mortgages to a fiat one-half
Of per cent per annum.
Volume Is Credited.
I'm view Of the fact that the VOL
ume of business under the mutual
mortgage insurance plan Of the Fed
eral Housing Administration is in
creasing so much more rapidly than
was anticipated" Mcdonald said, 1T
has been considered sound to reduce
the rate Of the insurance premium in
order to reduce the cost Of insured
mortgages to home owners"
Prior to the reduction the Federal
Housing Administration had permit
ted approved lending institutions to
charge up to 5l2 per cent interest on
refinanced mortgages. The maximum
interest rate on all classes Of insured
mortgages for new building remains at
S per cent as originally provided by the
national housing act.
More Business Seen.
"We anticipate" Mcdonald said,
"that one of the important effects of
the revised regulations regarding mort
gage interest rate will be an added ac-
celeration in the volume Of mortgage
business. With the vast amount OF
existing mortgage paper subject to re-
funding the reduction should result in
material increase in activity along
this line.
