Twenty-eighth Year
By PAUL MALLON.
. WASHINGTON, March 7 The busi
ness boys- applauded Mr. Roosevelfa
new NRA program, but only to be
polite. They had their fingers crossed.
They could read, between the line
and see the suggestion that they
might have to forego profits to create
employment, and unless they did so
voluntarily Mr. Roosevelt would im
pose a shorter work week on them.
Their private comment ran some
thing like this: "He congratulates us
with one hand and pulls our nose
with the other," and "he smiles at
you so charmingly when he hit you
that you do not realize you have been
truck until the swelling comes."
They took heart from the fact that
y Mr. Roosevelt was slightly Indefinite.
They hoped, he was merely talking
and. would hesitate to carry out his
Implied threat.
They probably will be doomed to
disappointment In the end.
The bald truth ts the NRA has fail
ed to accomplish Its purpose under
the existing set-up. It has not caused
enough employment to meet the sit
uation and prospects are It will not
If It goes on as It has been.
Industry will pick up sharply for
March and April. A steady Improve
ment tn employment will be accom
plished, but probably not enough to
absorb any considerable portion of
existing- unemployment. To do so,
industrial production would have to
increase anywhere from 28 to 40 per
cent. The best economists believe
that Is unlikely.
So some other method of, increasing
private employment will undoubtedly
have to be adopted. The shorter work
week with no reduction in pay and
without substantial Increase In prices
affords a simple method. At least
that is the theory behind the move.
The Wall strecters immediately lor
... got their worries on the stock ex
change bill and started fretting about
the new presidential program.
As realists, they hardly expected
that business generally would volun
' tarily hazard Its Income by affording
extra employment for Idealistic pur
poses. They rather anticipated a fed
eral program fixing various reduced
hours of labor for various Industries,
running probably from 32 to 38
hours.
That led them to the tearful con
clusion that profits may be delayed
for the present.
Some business men contend they
have no profits as yet. They say that
an Increased payroll will bring them
.to bankruptcy.
But the theory behind the adminis
tration move Is clear. Mr. Roosevelt's
treasury department is now contrib
uting to the support of one out of
every seven or eight persons through
the AAA, CWA. CCC. etc. Some esti
mates run higher than that. One set
of figures shows one out of very four
. person getting money from the gov-
ernment. The government cannot
keep on supporting them much lon
ger or the treasury will be pressed.
It must get these persons back into
private employment. If the employ
ment does not come naturally it must
be forced.
It might be much harder on busi
ness In the long run to have the gov
ernment continue to support these
men than to have private Industry
do It.
A few days before the business men
on the code authorities met here the
NRA sent out telegrams confidentially
to most of the leading colleges In the
country.
These telegrams referred to the
possibility of getting college profes
sors to serve as government represen
tatives on code authorities.
Some insiders say as many as 100
teleerama were sent.
The Idea is novel. General Johnson
has been under harassment from Sen
ator Nye and others because Indus
trial giants act as government repre
sentatives on the code authorities
over their own industries There is
prevailing suspicion that some of
these giants represent their industry
more than they do the government.
Replacing them with college pro
fessors would do more probably to
change the complexion of the NRA
than even the shorter work week.
The AAA crowd has prepared a
series of amendments to the crop cur
tailment program. Thee will be an
nounced when they are sent to con
gress for approval, which will be soon.
The general idea behind the amend
ments Is to make technical correc
tions in the existing law so that the
program may operate more effective
ly. One amendment is supposed to
relate to the strengthening of the
county committees by enlarging the
personnel.
This caused one or the Anthony
advocates to remark:
"If everyone now receiving money
from the fiovcrnment votes the demo
cratic ticket In November there will
be no republican left tn congress."
Insiders whisper, half seriously,
that one reason Richard Washburn

that he has been leading the attack

FARLEY TO OPEN
Recommends 'Full, Open and
Fair Competitive Bidding'
for Period Not Exceeding
more Than Three Years
WASHINGTON, March 7. (JP)
President Roosevelt today proposed
that new contracts be negotiated with
commercial air carriers "as soon as
possible," for the carrying of airmail
The proposal was contained in a
letter he wrote to the postofflce com
mittees of the senate and the house.
He recommended contracts be let
for a period of not more than three
years, "on full, open and fal: com
petitive bidding, with a limitation on
the rate of compensation above which
no contract will be awarded."
He proposed new legislation "to
protect the public interest."
The President said "obviously no
contracts should be made with any
companies, old or new, any of whose
officers were parties to the obtaining
of former contract under circum
stances which were clearly contrary
to good faith and publlo policy."
He recommended that new legisla
tion prohibit (he award of an airmail
contract "to any company having
connection with subsidiaries, affili
ated., associated, or holding com
panies, directly, or by stock owner
ship, interlocking directorates, inter
locking officers, or otherwise, if such
subsidiaries, affiliates, asoclates, or
holding companies are engaged, di
rectly or indirectly, in the operation
of competitive routes or in the manu
facturing of aircraft, or other mate
rials or accessories used generally in
the aviation industry."
Report of resumption of airmail
service through Medford in the im
mediate future was received here to
day with general rejoicing, although
no official confirmation verifying the
report had come this afternoon to
Postmaster Frank Desouza.
Two Thomas Morse observation
ships, both of the United States
army, landed at the local field yes
terday and the pilots announced that
they were ordered here from Pearson
field, Vancouver, Wash., on a survey
flight preparatory to carrying the
i mail.

also in Medford yesterday, confer
ring wlt;i Fred Heath, chairman of
the city council airport committee,
and Superintendent Culbertson. He
ssld he had been ordered to Medford
to look over the local port to de
termine the advisability of the gov
ernment stationing a man here. Colo
nel McTntosh was accompanied by
Lieut. Don Z. Zimmerman, also of
Crissy field, as pilot.
The report wss prevalent about the
city this morning that the airmail
service through Medford would be
resumed Friday or Saturday of thia
week. No verification of the rumor
could be located.
Since cancellation of airmail con
tracts, which brought discontinuance
of service through here, the Medford
chamber of commerce has carried on
an Intensive campaign to bring the
army carriers through Medford. Ap
proximately BOO wires were sent from
thia city to the Oregon delegation in

State Commission Rule Bar
ring Sale in 200-Foot
Radius Not Needed, Claim
New Ordinance Adopted
The state liquor commission ruling,
prohibiting the sale of beer within a
200-foot radius of a church, will not
be enforced in Medford. Chief of Po
lice Clatous McCredle announced at
the regular meeting of the city coun
cil last night, pointing out that If
such a ruling, were enforced here at
least five business firms would suffer
an undeserved loss In patronage.
The Baptist church la located that
near to at least five places, where
beer is sold. Including the Elks club.
If the state commission urges en
forcement, which authorities here be
lieve will not be done under the cir
cumstances, Medford will contest the
commission's stand. It was stated.
Places Well Conducted
The placea within this radius are
all well conducted and particularly
quiet on Sundays, so there could be
nothing disagreeable for church-goers,
evolving from their sale of beer, Chief
McCredle stated.

JOHNSON'S PLAN
WASHINGTON. March 7. (P) NRA
code authorities will be asked by the
administration tonight to cut code
working hours 10 per cent for all in
dustries that can stand It, with ex
ceptions for those unable to comply.
Thia was made known today by
Hugh S. Johnson, in addressing the
assembly of NRA leaders at work on
labor problems, in explaining plans
for hla evening address.
Flat Rule Unwanted.
George Sloan, head of the cotton
textile code authority, had said that
unquestionably many Industries could
take a further hour shortening, but
that he considered It would be a
grave mistake to make a flat rule,
as he understood was advocated by
Johnson, because It would raise false
hopes in the breants of "every Amer
ican working man In every home."
Johnson replied that with him It
waa a choice of methods between the
general rule and taking up each of
the 800 codes Individually "an im
post ble method."
No I kose Intended.
"But," he went on. "I hope that
nothing the President has aald or I
have said will lead anyone to tha
Idea that industry Is to be placed in
a Procrustean bead by ukase or flat
or to aay that hours shall be so ana
so by administrative order.
"I hope you get any auch Idea out
of your mind, because nobody ever
dreamed of doing It,
Johnson then urged that a repre
sentative group of industrialists re
main with him after the code auth
orlty gathering ends to work out by
agreement some definite procedure
for meeting the current problems.
Price Control Mked.
Code authorities meeting elaewhero
were informed by NflA officials mean
while that while no definite policy
has been determined, NRA Is "symprv
thrtlc" to prlca control provisions as
made possible in "open price associa
tions." Such associations are made up of
industries or businesses which pub
lish their prices before they go Into
