Local NRA Boards Told Limitations of Powers for Enforcement Campaign Most Violations Due to Misunderstanding On Part of Employer Says Administrator Johnson WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. (P Here U a summstlon by the J. . A. of the lnitructionj from Hugh 8. Johnson Industrlsl sdmlnlatrator. to guide local compliance boards In enforcing the Blue Eagle campaign: "As moat Tlolatlona grow out or misunderstandings rather than flat refuaal to cooperate, when an em. plover la notified that a complaint has been filed sgalnst him. the whole tone of the notification should be that of assuming that the employer la complying and the. tthe complaint la due 'to eome misunnersianoing which the employer can clear up by explaining the eltuatlon to a rep reaentatlve of the board. No Publicity. "Particular emphaala la placed on ' the rule that no publicity of any kind ahould be given to the fact that an employer has had a complaint lodged against him. 'Throughout all proceedings. provided for under the regulations, the employer Is to be given every opportunity to see the error of his ways or to explain his side of the question. "Cognizance Is taken of many cases where employers are under the mis apprehension that they have received a stay of provisions granted them by N. R. A. "If It would be serious Injustice to reverse this unauthorized approv al, much weight ahould be given to thla fact. Conduct Prescribed. "The conduct of the board toward an employer Is summed up as fol lows: "Although the employer may be represented by counsel. If he so de sires, there Is no necessity for this. The employer may not be foroed to anawer questions. In fact, It ahould no tbe found necessary to ask any questions except those strictly necea. ssry to determine whether or not the employer Is complying. "This hearing should not be taken advantage of as an opportunity to pry into a man a business. The board has no power to compel1 the attend' anee or examination of witnesses, or to compel a submission of books or other papers to the board. If the employer takes the position of 'stand ing on his constitutional rights' or refusing to answer questions because they might tend to Incriminate him,' it should be explained to him by the legal member that the President's re-employment agreement Is not a atatute to be enforced by law, but a voluntary Individual covenant. Should Cooperate. "It should be assumed that If the employer la aotlng within the aplrlt of the agreement, he will be ready ana willing to come forward with a frank statement of hla position, In order to clear up any misunderstanding. However, It should be explained fur ther, that a refusal to answer a ques tion will be considered contrary to the aplrlt of the agreement It the anawer to the question would deter mine whether or not the employer la complying. Such a refusal ahould be noted by the board In making Us report to N. R. A. "No exceptions from paragraphs (1), (3), (10) or (19) of the Presi dent's agreement may be approved and no exception from or ststement of an Interpretation or understsndlng of section 7 (A) or section 10 (B) of the National Industrial Recovery Act may be approved. Requires Unanimity. "If the board finds by unanimous vote that the petition (for an ex ception) Is Justified by the facts, it ahould be approved and the petitioner Informed of thla fact. If the board finds by unsnlmous vote that the petition is not Juatlfled by the faoti, It ahould be disapproved and the pe titioner Informed of this fact." "When the board la unable to reach a unanimous agreement, the petition with majority and minority reports from the board should bs forwsrded to the secretary of the district recovery board for final ac tion. The regulations provlds for an appeal to Washington from a district board's decision. "Section s deals with petitions for permission to operste under a union contract for houra longer than the maximum under the President's re employment code." : First Soiree Is Tomorrow Night 'At Jacksonville That word soiree Is bsck again In Jacksonville.

E AS AIMEE CALLS (Continued trom Past One) ded as Noonan't voice droned from the platform. Almee took t seat on the platform and wss scarcely noticed until Noonan began to Introduce her. The bums were electrified as Almee, resplendent In gown and hat of bright green, her blonde hair waved and set to perfection, swept to tbe front of the plstform, railed her arms, snd launched tnto a aoul stirring summons to rlghteousnesa. She began quietly enough, by de scribing her own early life. She re ferred to herself as "Just a farmer's daughter." Then arms waving, voice rlalng in ever increasing creacendo, aha began an Impassioned appeal for souls. In a few moments the tawdry hall wae In an uproar. The bums weaved and swayed under the spell of her evangelistic magic. One by one then In a sud den flood down the aisles they be gan to hit the sawdust trail to the altar. Many of them pushed, shoved and hauled In their emotional anxiety to grovel before the awaylng evangellat. Teara coursed down their seamed cheeks as they mumbled cries of "Hallelujah" and "amen." Converts piled before Almee's plat form, fighting to grovel the lowest. More than a dozen sprawled gro tesquely on the floor at one tune as Sister Almee kneeled over them and prayed stridently for their sslvstlon. Off to one side, a little out of the bright lights, stood Noonan, scratch ing his head In bewilderment and marveling at the magic of the Call- fornlan who had transformed his congregation of sleepy bums In a few moments from stupor to high pitched emottonsllsm. Almee concluded her sermon, dab bed st her eyes with a handkerchief snd left the platform. The bums slowly essed their aching bones off the floor and shuffled back to their seats, to lapse again Into sleep. Almee swept out Into Chinatown's streets to continue her tour. .

Utah (UP) The battle of the naturalists is on on faction for the sslvstlon of pe" cans and another demanding their extinction. "They eat our fish," claim officials of the Utah state flab and game com mission. "Shoot 'em I" "Pity the poor pelican and tave th,m tmwn Mttnr.tlOn" COTTlCS the. answering cry from aubudon society membera. with Aniv four malor breeding grounds left In the United States, the number of the white birds had declined to no more than 10.000, gov ernment omciats reporia. Dr. J. H. Paul, authority on bird life, Joined the battle for the life of the pelican. He urged hunters and fishermen to refrain from de stroying the girds snd their nests. What few fish the pelican does eat would not make much difference to the supplies In lntermountaln streams," be said. "And the kind of fish they consume would not be fit for human consumption anyway." Estimates of the number of birds left ruffled the feathers of Newell B. Cook, state fish and game commla sloner, ss he came to the defense of bis department's program to tight down the existence of pelicans "I can show you 100,000 of them white ones, too," be declared, around the Bear river marshes In UMi. And that's not counting those on the Islsnds of Orest Sslt Lake. If the park service clalma there are 10.000 left In the United States and Can ada, 1 can say they are no pelican counters." Further, the department Is going to continue Its drive to kill blrat that feed on yellow perch and moun tain black bass spawning beds.
