NEW DEAL INQUIRY
TO Be WH|TEWASH
Investigation of Oneself
Rarely Turns Up Any
thing Damaging
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, March 28.-President
Roosevelt and his lieutenants appear
to have diluted investigation of the
New Deals emergency set-ups to such
an extent that it is hard to see how
it can be much of a real "probe."
The prospective inquiry was sena-
torially launched in fashion to pro-
mise that it would be the genuine ar
ticle Senator Joseph T. Robinson, the
administration leader in the upper
house of Congress, succeeded, however
by parliamentary straightforward, in
getting a sufficient majority into the
membership of the inquisitorial COM
mittee to insure that it will be strong
ly pro-New Deal.
Then the President appointed his
own committee, consisting OF Louis
Brownlow. Professor Charles e. Mer-
rian of the University of Chicago and
Professor Luther Gulick of Columbia
university, to investigate, too.
He also asked for the creation OF
a similar committee of representa-
tives.
Finally he urged that the three
committees cooperate.

plenty of investigating, but it is note

Moscow, March %. - (AP) line
Outer Monaghan republic proclaimed
it's approval of a mutual assistance

MINOR NRA BILL IS

Bv LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

Congress may pass minor MIA
bill this session. 1t is called minor
merely because it does not enforce
labor regulations on corporations. In
other respects, it is more rigid than
was the MIRA.
The bill in question is the Robin
son-Patman measure to regulate price
discounts.
Although this bill has no labor re-
gulationS in conjunction with it, Con-
gress has another bill before it-belng
fought by the United States Chamber
of Commerce and the National Manu-
facturers' Association-which would
set up standards of hours and wages
on all goods and materials entering
into purchases with government
money.
The Robinson-Patman bill is spon-
sored by small merchants and middle
men.
It would regulate, and in many in
stances prohibit, special terms for
mass buyers, such as chain organiza-
tons. special terms" include quantity
discounts, rebates, allowances for adj
vertising and brokerage.
The bill also would try to prevent
sales by chain organizations in GER

Trenton, N. j., March 28.-(AP)
Governor Harold G.. Hoffman
today declared he had no inten-

Hauptmann another reprleVe.
He declined, however, to 1ndi-
cate what he might do in the
event of a confession or some
other unusually important devel-

There also is an opinion in some

the chair.
One Chance in Hundred.
This source said:
"The chances against Hauptmanr
are 100 to one. The one possibillt.
would be either a confession from thu
prisoner or some other very important
development which would justify ex-
traordinary action.
There is little hope that the cour1
of pardons will intervene Monday
since this body holds it is clemenc1
and not a trial court. Any convict ap
pearing before it must admit guilt and

to admit his guilt and has shown no
sign of breaking or changing his
story"

faction called the court of par
dons today to meet Monday to
consider the Germantown car

The governor also sought some le-
gal advice that would say he had
power to issue a second reprieve for
Hauptmann, despite the reiterated
opinion of the attorney general that
no such power exists.
Robert w. Hicks, Washington GRIM
inologist, returned by plane today
from Cuba, where he has been investl-

SEAPLANES OFF TO

Carry Mail to Presidents Fishing
Boat First Time Since He
Went to Sea off Miami

Miami, Fla, March 28.-(AP)-Two
United States navy seaplanes took off
from the Coast Guard air base here
today with three pouches of official
mail for President Roosevelt fishing
in the Bahamas.
The planes will fly to Nassau, New
Provident Island, this afternoon, and
tomorrow morning will meet the Pre-
sidents fishing party in the vicinity
Of Crooked Island.
Bad weather in Washington had de-
]ayed transmission of the mail, so that
this is the first batch to get out to
sea to Mr.. Roosevelt, who probably
will be kept busy over the weekend
with his correspondence.
The fishing is going good for Presl-
dent Roosevelt, and reports from the
l.. S. S. Potomac are rejecting en-

For the first time, last evening Mr..
Roosevelt noted a catch of big game
fish, although he did not specify just
