Tuesday, August 8, 1933 Page Six LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, LA GRANDE, ORE. PUBLIC SUPPORT REGARDED CRUX OF N. R. A. PLAN f By Byron Price (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington) It Is next to Impossible for anyone at a distance to realize how com pletely the Washington picture Is dominated these days toy the national , recovery administration. Events of nlffheat importance re taking place In other fields. The gov trnment la launched on & multipli city of separate major operations, ranging from a cautious "open mar ket'" campaign of currency expan sion to the greatest public works pro - grain in history. Yet so greatly is the ilmellght concentrated that little Is heard of anything but the N. R. A. In every class of officialdom -this gigantic experiment Is the talk of the town. Already It has attained the stature of an Institution. Like the American flivver, it even ha de veloped its own lore of humorous stories playing on the difficulties of code-making. . General Johnson, the administrator, is the magnet of constant attention. His press conference attracts the news writers asj does no other pare of the passing show at Washington. And they find the undertaking so moun tainous in Its proportions, so amazing in its ramifications, that with one ac cord they rue the day when they used up all of their superlatives on the lesser enterprises of the earlier Roose vclt era. Topping Them All Probably no living man pretends to comprehend all tlurt may be Involved In this great undertaking. It rises like the highest peak In the range, but the best you can do is to get distant views of the summit. The men who originated the scacme and the men now administering It would be the last to claim that they can yet see how the recovery act is to be applied in all Its details. One by one they are picking away at the troublesome features of the plan, with an evident confidence it can be worked out somehow. Their difficulties emerge directly from the fact that everything de pends on a sweeping change In eco nomlo relationships. Heretofore, for instance, no one ever bothered be cause industries overlapped here and ! there in certain of their functions, i Under the old system that didn't mat-1 ter. i q n in Wow Showing a human eagle . . . desperate, dauntless, but ashamed of his exploits! a human hawk . . . ruthless, ravenous, but proud of his executions! cursing each other yet courting death together Comedy - JIr V$& U,,y New, Pym "Scotch" Driving Contest Stretching uuurta ot gasoline Into miles una a diversion enjoyed by 11? I'ortlunders In a recent economy motor driving contest, open to any motorist who desired to test his skill nt the wheel. Accom panied by a "Scotch" observer, each contestant drove the car over any route he chose to desifrnutc. To permit uccurnte chock of mileage, a special glass container holding a quart of gasoline and with a lead to the motor was attached to the outside of the car. When the gas in the container was exhausted, the car automatically stopped and the mileage was checked. All contestants were required to drive the same eight-cylinder cur fueled with the new General ' Four-Star gasoline. W. W. Wei rich, commercial driver, who won the contest, stretched a quart of tfiisnllne into 6.1 miles for un average of 24.4 miles to the gallon. Miss Helen Keagle, student, was runner up with an average of 24.8 miles to the gallon. The grand average of all 117 contestants wns the amu'Jng mark of 20.G7 miles to the gallon. Above at left is shown XVI . D. Lch, Oregon division manager, General Petroleum corporation, congratulating Wei rich on his achievement, Lett declared that the sensational average mileage made by all contestants demonstrates the economy of using the new General Four-Stur gasoline. It matters a great deal under the now. The line of demarcation must be drawn pretty clearly because each Industry Is to have its own code. The shlp-bulldlng Industry goes Into one pigeon-hole, for Instance, and the structural steel industry Into another. But what Is to be done about that largo section of the shlp-bulldlng In dustry which essentially Is nothing In tho world but structural steel? Nobody knows yot. It is Just one of the problems with which the N. R. A. Is wrestling. m a vm TO HELL WITH GLORY! I'm sick of being a hero! Tired of parad- , ing medals! red up with being a shining example! Yes, I brought down on enemy ace. ..and what was he? A blonde kid with two small blue holes in his chest! You can hav death record marked me FREDRIC CARY Story by John Monk Saiindci Author of "WinRB" But the one question asked often -est by administration officials relates to no such technical problem as this. It Is simply: "To what degree can the public be relied upon to give Its continuing support to this venture?" That, as Washington sees It, really Is the only "if" In the equation. The idea is that it won't matter much how details are settled, provided pop ular sentiment is sufficiently aroused to demand results. Hence the present mountainous business of arousing. : ... btot I A Paramount Picture Wlffl MARCH ANT CAROLE LOMBARD JACK OAKIE Butterfat Price . May Force Boost In Butter Values PORTLAND, Aug. 8 (?") Advance of o lb. in the price on prime first cube butter during the late session of the produce exchange did not sug gest the slightest change in general sentiment. It was In the nature of an artificial movement. There Is one factor that may even tually force a general advance In the price on butter. Butterfat values were again on the rampage despite the J ate weakness In butter. Premiums of 1 to 2c lb. over the market were again reported and these are becoming more or less general at Willamette valley points as well as locally and some points In the Inland territory. Market for eggs continued to re flect an unstable tone locally even though quotations were nominally continued at the previous high point. However, quotable values today scarcely represent actual trade condi tions.
