OFFEFRS REPORT ON OUTLAWED NRA AS PROBLEMS KEY (Continued from page 1) Ins of the national Industrial re covery board that a minimum wnge can be socially beneficial, not only as a safeguard to the worker but also us a wage-door for the opera tion of the competitivo system. But in thiB field, code experience de veloped or implied the need of well-considered standards, which would be even more necessary to a long-run policy , , ' Flexibility Required "As to discriminatory price and sales practices," the committee de clared "tne swarm uf practices prohibited by code provisions adopted to support the minimum price provisions, and which gave rise to insuperuhle difficulties in tho administration of NRA, are in their nature capable of use in such wuys as to amount to discrimina tion within the meuning of the Cli'.ylou set and tho Roulnuon-Put-man act. jIt follows that the experience of NRA Is a source of much infor mation as to the difficulties of ud miuistering laws which prohibit such pruclices, including complexi ties of cost allocation and of terms and conditions of sale." "We think it is a cloar deduction from the evidence of the NRA ex perience that the administration of such a law should be accompanied by the right to introduce flexibility In the application of Its provisions to the particular clrcumstuncos of particular Industries; and we think that this experience throws grave doubt upon the wisdom of attach ing to such provisions penulties of a criminal nature or even treble damnges." "Among the remnlnlng todo pro visions there Is a group relating to price fixing which do or do not go beyond the limits of reasonable restraint of trade us heretofore de fined by the decisions of the su preme court, depending upon whether they are or lire not so formulated as to lend themselves to price fixing." The committee said the experi ence ot NRA indicates that trade practice rules "should be initiated by the industries that Is. by tho men who know most nbout the problems of tho industry and who have to apply them in actual prac tice." . i Law Limits Trade Pacts With regard to anti-trust laws the committee said that If , they should bo relaxed to penult trade' agreements "such trade agree ments would, of course, continue In any event to be limited by' the developed common-law rule against fraudulent and coercive practices, and by the rule that agreements which create special advantages and .upset equnlity of opportunity are unreasonable restraints of trade." "Finally," the report declared. "while labor and trade practice asnects of an industry program are definitely related In ninny ways and should he coordinated,' NRA experience Indicates that separate administrative bodies should b'e provided for negotiation and for compliance activities, both In the field ot labor provisions on the one bund und ot merchandising prob lems on the other." NRA was credited with "moral and economic value" through re striction of child labor and its sui port of the collective bargaining principle was described as "of great und probably lusting Import ance, out of proportion lo the im mediate and tanglhlo results se cured." , r A MENS .

Phone 31 U S Senator Reynolds says: "Ltiddes are considerate of my throat,, "Two Southern traditions are oratory and good tobacco. Lucky Strike shows me how to indulge in both. For this light smoke not only pleases my taste but leaves my throat in condition. , Last fall in North Carolina when 1 made over 100 speeches I visited the Lucky Strike factory. I believe I dis covered, in the Lucky Strike 'Toasting' process, the secret of what makes this cigarette so considerate of my throat. I have been more than ever an advo cate of a light smoke since seeing the extra care and expense devoted to making Luckies easy on the throat." ft HON. ROB'T R. REYNOLDS U.S. SENATOR FROM NORTH CAROLINA. In a recent independent survey, an over whelming majority of lawyers, doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc., who said they smoked cigarettes, ex ' pressed their personal preference for a light smoke. Senator Reynolds' statement verifies the wis dom of this preference and so do leading artists of radio, stage, screen and opera, whose voices are their fortunes, and who choose Luckies, a light smoke. You, too, can have the throat protection of Luckies a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process "It's Toasted". Luckies are gentle on your throat.
