VOLUME XXXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1935 NUMBER 94 Resume of the Day’s News By the Associated Press Vi-— APRIL 12 — - - F.D. Halts Investigation WASHINGTON—A direct re quest by President Roosevelt to day halted impatient senate in vestigators as they sought to lean why the Colt Arms company hac not been pressed into compliance with labor clauses of NRA. The interference by the president came just as the senate munition; committee shaped plans for a for mal demand on Donald R. Rich L berg, chairman of the national re covery board, to explain alleged delay in snatching at once from the famous gun factory its blue eagle. This would have taken from the firm its right to do business with the government. Chairman Nye (R-ND), declared the president asked him by tele phone this morning to withdraw the committee’s request for Mr. Richberg’s appearance. Mr. Roose velt gave him assurance, Nye said, that the Colt controversy would be settled early next -week. Revise NRA Measure WASHINGTON — Working be hind the scenes in an effort to meet the monopoly charges thrown against NRA by Senator Borah (R-Ida), and others, senate admin ^ istration leaders started today to revise the bill for extending the blue eagle machine. Senator Borah, called into con ference by the administration spokesmen, insisted upon three major points. He demanded full restoration of the anti-trust laws, an affirmative prohibition against price fixing, an a clear declaration that the government is not seek ing to interfere -with purely intra state trade. Those in charge of the legisla tion conceded privately that the administration measure introduced recently by Chairman Harrison of the senate finance committee leaned more heavily toward price fixing than does even the present law. There was agreement that it would do but little to restore the anti-trust law's. Virtually a 11 agreed, too, that the measure would have to be modified in both respects to obtain congressional approval. HOLC Bill A nproved WASHINGTON—A bill designed to reopen the doors of the home owmers loan corporation by drop ping $1,750,000,000 more into its coffers was passed by the senate (Please turn to page tivo) Facility Women Elect Mrs. DeCou Mrs. E.
