Growing U.S.. Bureaus
Declared Threat 10
Basic Liberties ~
Lack Of Uniformity
Cited by Prentis in
Kentucky Address
BY the Associated Press.


LOUISVILLE. KY. March 14.-H.
w. Prentis, jr., president Of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, said last night that the
growth Of Federal bureaus, boards
and commissions "is a creeping
paralysis which, If not checked, will
~shrivel our fundamental liberties"
In speech prepared for delivery
before a group OF Kentucky manu-
facturers and industrialists, Prentis.
who Is q Lancaster, Pa, manufac-
turer, said that 100 regulatory gov
ernmental agencies were in existence
in 1887.
The meeting here was one of a
series of 81 being held throughout
the country. sponsored by the Ma
tional Association Of Manufacturers
and various local industrial organ
izations.
mo one denies the necessity for
administrative law" Prentis said. ut
Is essential to the exercise of the
regulatory function in a complex
society, but 1t is peculiarly subject
to abuse as we'll as use. It's growth
has been prodigious. Its numerous
agencies are now recognized by Con-
gress as demanding immediate cor
rection and control.
There is no uniformity Of pro-
cedure, either within the depart
ments, among their own agencies or
between the numerous boards them
selves. Each tends to ignore the
practice and experience of the
others. There is no uniformity in
methods of examination. investiga-
ton or judicial review. -"
There is constant and cumula-
tive evidence that, In the absence of
uniform and appropriate control of
such agencies, personal discretion
will frequently be substituted for
the legal discretion of the adrninis-
traitor. within the statute. That is
government by men and not by
law. 1t is a creeping paralysis
which, if not checked, will shrivel
our fundamental liberties"
Prentis, president of the Arm
strong Cork Co., said the primary
purpose of the sectional conferences
was to discuss the unemployment
situation.

Ayres Fears Slump

New Depression
Powerful New Force
Declared Needed to
Prevent Trouble
BY the Associated Press,

~ WAC 3SSsoS4dtCN 1kCoo.
CLEVELAND, March 14.-Col.
Leonard P. Ayres declared last night
some new powerful and positive
force" is needed to prevent the pres
ent business recession from turn
ing into renewed depression.
In his monthly business review
for the Cleveland Trust Co. the
economist traced how production
declined from an all-time high of
l28 in December to an estimated los
for March as measured by the Fed
eral Reserve index.
I'VE have never had decline of
this magnitude following peak pro-
duction that did not continue on
downward to depression" Col. Ayres
declared.
I'm addition it must be remem-
bered that the processes of expan-
sion and contraction in business
cycles are cumulative in nature.
They are self-reinforcing, and when
they have once gained either up
ward or downward momentum they
tend to continue for some time as
though impelled by an internal en-
ergy Of their own.
The soundest reason for arguing
that this decline may go a good
deal further would be that it has
already gone SO far"
The Cleveland Trust Co. vice
president found it probable that
if this decline is to be promptly
checked, and production trends
turned upward again, the reversal
must result from some new powerful
and positive force.
Such an upturn might come from
new wave of business confidence
generated by a domestic political
development. Perhaps a new upturn
might be induced by large-scale
mp-priming. It might come from
suddenly increased war orders.
There are other possibilities, but the
likelihood remains that a new pow
erful and positive generating force
would be needed"

RING FEAR AND DISGUST-TWO
HEAVY HANDICAPS

Louis, defending his laurels, will be
struggling with two heavy handicaps
ring fear and disgust. Not the fear
of being hurt but the fear that haunts
every champion when he climbs into
the ring-that slip, sprained ankle
or broken hand, or a lucky punch by
the challenger may take his title away.
The disgust that every ring veteran
has for the drudgery of training.
There is a prescribed schedule by
which he must for weeks before the
battle adhere. He has to eat, sleep
and play according to the exact sched-
ule his trainer lays out for him. There
are so many miles on the road every
day, so many sweaty hours in the
gym, and so many rounds with spar
ring partners. He likes to fight but
training is irksome. In three years,
Louis has defended his title ten times
something no other champ has
dreamed of doing. Through all this
the Champ has lived in the tiresome
treadmill of preparation.

breed, will catch their first feel of the

'Tarzan' Brown Enters
Ten-Miler, June II
In CharIestOWn

Most of the outstanding local long
distant plodders will be on the start
ing mark Monday as Charlestown cele-
brates Bunker Hill Day.
Brown-who has come into his own
again since the B.A.A. Marathon run
is being picked as a pre-meet favor
lite to win the 10-mile classic. There
will be much competition, however, for
already Clarence DeMar, Johnny
Kelley and Leslie Pawson have signi-
fled their intentions of running.
