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.

"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.

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.

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. Farm Home On
Crow Creek

ENTERPRISE (Special) A, house
on the Forest Belcher farm on Crow
creek burned to the ground Monday.
The fire was In the usual setting. Mr.

went out to help carry In the milk

was In flames. A cream separator, a
heating stove, bed and a few blankets
were all that were saved, the house
being a complete Joss.
