Washington March 2 (AP)
President Roosevelt advised
Congress today to study the
NRA for guidance in writing
new laws on wages, hours and
other detectives of the invalid
ated recovery agency.
He submitted a report by his
special committee on industrial
analysis summarizing a study
of NRA started in June, 1885.
He recommended Congress give the
document most serious considera-
ton"
He made no specific suggestions for
new laws. Their report, however, set
out several committee conclusions ap-
plicable to any future program SINH
lar to that of NRA.
It said, in effect:
Negotiations for agreements on
trade practices and labor provisions
should be handled by one admins
trative body and compliance handled
by another.
Maximum hour standards should
strike balance between production
of goods and increasing leisure for
workers, so when goods would be
worth more to the worker than leis-
-ure, hours should not be shortened.
Minimum wage standards should be
fixed according to permanent princi-
pies.
Fair trade practice rules should be
started by the industries effected.
Any relaxation of antitrust laws
should be by legislative action.
The controversy raging over the
Pre- sidenk's judiciary reorganization
proposal found opposition elements in
Congress lining up a solid front.
The Presidents plan won another

Raleigh, March 2 (AP)-The
House passed a measure today

dustry as the Senate put its ap-
proval on a bill to prohibit child
labor.
The hour bill went to the
Senate and the child labor mea-

With many industries exempted,
though sponsors said the measure was
still "a step in the right direction"
the representatives voted to place a
5lhour limit on work Of men and 40
hours on work of women. Now there
is no limit on hours for men in any
work, with a 55-hour limit for women.

The original version is that honest

However, this is not to imply that
lawyers, as a class, are scalawags.
It would not be safe to do SO; they

FIND new CURE
FOR PNEUMONIA

Experiments which were begun
last fall may definitely develop a
new and effective cure for pneu-
monia if final results conducted
at Gallinger Hospital by George
Washington University physicians
are successful, it was revealed
here today.
The experiments, which are
based on the use Of sulphanila-
mide, started last fall with ward
pneumonia patients Of all ages.
About 80 tests were made and the
results indicated that the new
compound can decrease mortality
due to this disease.
Pneumonia infection in animals
has been cleared up by the drug
in experiments conducted at the
National Institute of Health here
and this led physicians to make
the tests on human patients.
The tests to be made this fall,
when the disease again becomes
prevalent, will be doubled, phsi-
clans said. The antipneumonia
serum now in use, it was ex-
planned, is successful on only
about two-thirds of the cases, and
is comparatively expensive. If the
first indications of the newer
drug prove correct, this formula
may replace the older one, it was
added.

POLICE TO DROP
DEATH INQUIRY

EVANSVILLE, Md, Sept. 8
Prince Georges county police au.
thorities will not press the investi-
cation into the death Of Gustave
A. Poppenberg, Washington real
estate man, found shot in the
woods near Berwyn Heights yes
terday morning.
Police today said that the evil
dence clearly indicated that Pop
penberg had shot himself and
that unless an autopsy, to be per-
formed today, uncovers contra
dictory evidence, the investiga-
ton will be dropped and certifi-
cate Of suicide issued.
When the mans body was first
found slumped behind the wheel
of q light truck, police were not
satisfied that the death was a
suicide.
Poppenberg was shot with a 80
caliber bullet, but the gun he
clutched in his hand appeared to
be q .38. 1t later developed that
the pistol was 80 mounted on a
SO frame. It is not yet known
where Poppenberg obtained the
gun.
Police also were puzzled by the
fact that only a few fragments
Of the mans glasses, which he was
known to be wearing, were found
in the truck. It is now believed
that the lenses were shattered and
blown out of the car by the shot.
The autopsy will be performed
at the request of James Redding,
$40 Hamilton St. N. W., brother
in.law of the slain man.
