WASHINGTON, D. O., May 23. The
way the administration cornered op
position to the NRA Is one ol the re
vealing inside
yarn of new deal
technique.
Again Presi
dent R o o s e velt
vused his decoy
system. He has
had unusual suc
cess trapping his
critics with this
t e c h n ique, but
never such sensa
tional success as
m the current
case.
t ail started
Paul Mallon
4 months ago, when Senators Borah and
Nye were leading the attack on the
NBA They contended that the John
sonian codes were strangling little
business. There can be no question
but what there was considerable basis
lor their argument.
At any rate, their case drew such
marked attention that Mr. Roosevelt
called them In. He proposed that a
committee be appointed to Investi
gate their charges and that they
serve on the committee.
Borah and Nye were too foxy to
get tied up in a thing like that, but
they did consent to the formation
of a committee, and Nye, at least, co
operated, to the extent of suggesting
names for the committee. He Is sup
posed to have named four of the
members of the committee.
That was the Darrow committee.
There were no two more disap
pointed men In the world last Mon
day than Senators Borah and Nye
when they read the Darrow report.
They are good, sensible Republican
liberals, but not socialists or com-
rnunists. Their liberalism shlnos oo
" casionaliy by contrast with the doc
trines of some of the conservatives of
their party, but they are not radicals.
Tet here was all their good mate
rial against the NRA in the Darrow
report completely topped by the rec
ommendation for socialisation of all
Industry and an end of the profit
system. . .
It was enough to make them shud
der, and they did.
Somewhere along the way of pre-
tn reoort Mr. Darrow had
been led into offering the socialistic
remedy. Only the Insiders know that
portions of the report w...
ten four or five times after he con
ferred with administration authoil-
It was upon one of these rewrit
ing occasions that the socialization
theory found a place In the report.
It is supposed to have been put in
by Mr. DarroWs ghost writer, Charles
x.'J..-H niieii. with the assistance
. . mmhpr nf the committee,
i, ninvrd vcrv close to oencral
Johnson.
At any rate, it gave the adminis
tration a perfect response. The boys
had been breathing hard and were
worried before the report was made
public. They thought it might prove
very damaging to the new deal. After
they saw It, their faces were wreathed
in smiles. All they had to say was,
"These NRA opponents are socialists
and communists."
Some of the sincere opponents or
NRA policies were bitter enough to
sugseat that Darrow should be re
warded by the administration for
putting NRA opposition on a social
istic level.
About all It amounts to, however.
Is political by-play.
The best Inside data Indicate clearly
that the administration is going to
put the NRA through the wringer
during the next few months. It will
adopt the best features of the Darrow
report.
Also. If there is sufficient basis
to the Borah-Nye charges, as they
contend, the matter cannot end with
the Darrow report.
In fact, it appears the debate has
only started.
The real story behind Republican
preparations for the election of a
nations! olislrman next month Is that
thsre is no story.
No Insids fighting Is discernible.

Parents Anguished.
DALLAS, May 23. () Mrs.
Henry Barrow, mother of Clyde

SHREVEPORT, La., May 23. (AP)
Clyde Barrow, the southwest's "No,
1 Outlaw," and his gunwoman com
panion, Bonnie Parker, were shot and
killed today by a squad of Texas of
ficers at Black Lake, about 90 miles
south of Shreveport.
Barrow, wanted for more than a
dozen slaylngs, several kldnaplngs
and numerous bank robberies, and
the Parker woman were slain on a
road when they fell Into a trap laid
by the officers.
Prank Hamer, former Texas ranger;
B. M. Oault, highway patrolman, and
Ted Hlnton and Bob Alcorn, Dallas
county sheriffs, encountered the pair.
Found at Hideout
"We killed Clyde and Bonnie at
9:16 this morning," Hamer reported.
"They were at Black Lake, a hideout
we had been watching for weeks.
"Clyde and Bonnie did not get to
fire a shot. Their car was full of
guns and ammunition, but they did
not get-a chance to use-them." v -- ''
Hamer, a former ranger captain, Is
one of the best known peace officers
in Texas.
Recently he was commissioned as
a highway patrolman to help hunt
down the southwest's most feared
criminals.
Hamer and other officers said the
Identification of Barrow and Bonnie
Parker was positive.
DALLAS, Tex., May 23. (AP) Clyde
Champion Barrow, the southwest s
number one public enemy, was sought
In connection with a least a dozen
killings throughout the southwest, on
several of which he faced formal
charges of murder.
His police record dates from 1926,
when he was arrested in Dallas for
automobile theft. In 1930, still known
only as a minor hoodlum, he was
sentenced to the Texas penitentiary
for 14 years on burglary and theft
charges.
Early in 1932 Barrow was granted
a general parole by Governor Ross
Sterling, shortly thereafter embark
ing on his spectacular career oi arm
ed robbery and terrorism.
Here are some of the crimes ror
which Clyde Barrow, either alone or
with his brother, Marvin, killed by
officers in Iowa in 1933, was wanted :

Illegal Production Threaten
ing Newly Organized
Regulation System. Is
Word to Congress Leaders
WASHINGTON, May 33. (API
President Roosevelt today asked con
gress to tighten up the oil control
program at this session.
This was among the developments
made known today at the president's
semi-weekly press conference.
Another was that the president has
consented to a summer furlough for
Frank C. Walker, chairman of the
national recovery council, but has
asked him to return to hts govern
ment post In the fall.
Mr. Roosevelt also said he would
send a message to congress very soon
relating to the controversial war
debts issue.
System Threatened
In a letter to Chairman Logan of
the senate mines committee and
Chairman Rayburn of the house in
terstate commerce committee, the
president asserted that illegal pro'
ductlon of oil Is threatening the
structure of the newly organized oil
production control system.
President Roosevelt expects the
NRA to evolve through constant
changes, but he Is giving no public
consideration to the Darrow report
condemning alleged monopolistic
practices under the program.
Inquiry at the White House on the
president's attitude toward the re
port of the special committee headed
by Clarence Darrow brought the
Latin phrase In reply res Ipse, loqut
tor. The Interpretion given of this is
that things speak for themselves.
Darrow Job Near End
It also was stated at the White
House that it Is the understanding of
the president that the Darro com-
mltee Is to complete Its work by the
first of June.
It was said Mr. Darrow outlined
this program when he submitted his
original report and Mr. Roosevelt has
heard nothing to the contrary since,
As for the future permanent policy
of Industrial and labor relations with
the government after the emergency
NRA expires a year hence, Mr. Rooafl'
velt Is eager for full debate on that
subject.
The president is guarding what he
intends to say on the war debts
problem, but is giving careful consld
eratlon to It. There la reason to be
lieve he Is going to outline some plan
to seek substantial payments from
abroad.
The president said he would send
up only two other messages besides
war debts. One of these will be
declaration of broad policy on use of
the nation's water resources. The
other will be a proposal for recon
sideration of the nowly enacted coco
nut oil levy.

tistics and Information bearing on
Medford and Jackson county, will

Total pear crop of the Rogue River
valley will be 300 cars under last
year, or approximately 3.450 cars,
according to Robert K. Norrla, horti
culturist for the Pinnacle Packing
company. The 1933 crop totaled
3,650 cars.
Norrls bases his estimate upon ob
servations made recently in 35 or
chards of the valley, and Information
obtained from growers.
Norrls says the Bartlett and Corn
ice will show an Increase and the
Boscs will be about the same as last
year. Howells, D'Anjous and Winter
Nellls will show a decrease over the
same period.
He further says what the crop lacks
in quantity it will make up in qual
ity, and the grades as a whole will be
better than in 1033. The Bartlett
crop last year was 60 per cent below
normal, and this year's crop will show
an increase over that mark.
Some growers state that if the code
regulations do not cut down the sizes
too heavily, the crop will exceed that
of last year. They say the crop will
average about the same as last year
for all varieties.
County Horticulturist Lyle P. Wil
cox reports that the coming pear crop
is of exceptional quality and smooth,
and developing rapidly.
Cherries In commercial quantity
will be on the market next week, ac
cording to Wilcox. There is a good
crop and quality in all varieties, he
reports, Some of the earlier vari
eties are now on the market In small
lots.
Apricots are three-quarters grown,
and the early varieties will be on the
market in two weeks. Peaches are
from a quarter to half grown, and
some will be ready for market with
in three weeks.
