O.. Aug. 24. The saddest tale of New Deal lore la the one about the national labor board cutting off General Johnson's nose to save the blue eagle's face In the Donovan . The general's pel break down even now when they sob out the Inside story of how It happened. Here was the . - great master of f all Industry, who told ail employ ers what their la. to or relations I ft A k-itaro raul Mallon ehould be. Here he had fired for in ' subordination an Irksome (to him) young agitator. John Donovan, union head of NRA workers, let ra eourt, which the mighty general had helped set up, overruled him and or dered Donovan's restoration, it v. as hard to take. With characteristic nonchalance. the general took It In the surf. That Is to say. he was swimming ai small Delaware beach resort when the labor court verdict was rendered, and dare later he was still swimming, Apparently he had not come up for air In the Interim, as the energetic efforts of newsmen to get comment from him were a complete failure. The explanation ottered by the labor people for the outcome of the case Is that they had a good case and the board could not have decided otherwise. A more Interesting inner view Is expressed by some NRA officials who whisper that labor put them on the spot, an excessively hot spot. There was nothing to do but to sacrifice the general's pride and let labor win, with as little fuss as possible. Other wise, the NBA would certainly have lost prestige with the labor groups. There are Indications that even the general eubscrlbed to this view. He tumbled around with the matter first but soon found the most influential 'labor groups here hanging on hie ' neck. Donovan was shoved Into the background and labor leaders and lawyers took up his case. It was then that the general finally agreed to ar bitration before the new national labor relations board. It Is significant that the board cut the hearings to a single day, and even more significant that Johnson re , fused to appear to defend himself. When pressed, he sent a written axemen , which was almost trivial. Tn? court then fumbled 12 day. When suspected of dilatory It issued a decision upholding D nwas" a strong victory for labor, but one which, they say. is not yet complete. The labor boya now have SSr machete, hidden In their belts for a certain NBA official (not John onl, whom they consider responsible for Donovan's difficulties. They will not celebrate their victory until he is out. No one knows the depths of wis dom which the NRA explores In Its thousands of decisions which, unlike fine Donovan case, never reach the public eye. A small Rhode Island textile mill appealed to Its code authority six week ago for exemption from the or der curtailing production 25 percent. It wanted exemption for ono month only, until August 25. The code au thority declined. An appeal was taken to another NRA board. It also de cllned. A final appeal was taken by the company to the Industrial ap peals board. m Autrust 21 the appeals board 18- . ...... . i-i.lnn reversing the two lower boards and approving the ex mnllnn until August 25.

There are rumors that It is the be ginning of a third party, that It will advance Al Smith for the presidency In 1936. that It will go Into the con- h gresslonal flections against the new 1-oealers. Borne of the founders of the move ment msy have had some of theae Ideas remotely In mind, but the Im mediate purpose seems to be to throw a little Ice water on the hot reformers In the New Deal by Issuing public statements and organizing. The only Immediate hope seems to be that the organization will deter the administration In eome of Ita ad noced reform notions. After that It rill be like the monetary policy and Topsy i. e.. It will grow to whatever dimensions It reaches. Floor Leader Byrna Is In a very (Continued on Page Eight) ALENf. Ore..

Threatening Forest Flames Halted In Rogue River Gorge After Rapid Spread Saturday Firebug On . The Applegate. Residents of the Prospect district, forest service fire fighters, and mem bers of CCC camps, stationed In the Crater Lake national park, last night and Saturday afternoon battled to keep a forest fire confined to the gorge of the upper Rogue river and prevent it from spreading to Pros pect, a summer resort nestling In heavy timber on the Crater Lake highway, 46 miles from this city. The blase was reported raging fiercest In the canyon near Mill Creek falls, a mile from Prospect, after menacing for a time Saturday afternoon, the sub-station of the California Oregon Power company near Prospect. The ftrc fighters were striving to keep the flames from crossing Rogue river, a quarter of a mtle from Pros pect. At eight o'clock It was reported the fire was under partial control. Many week-end autoslst en route to Crater Lake and Diamond lake, and other eastern Jackson county summer spots were forced to turn bark by the heavy smoke and heat. The fire burned at one point to within a quarter of a mile of Pros pect, and at one point crossed Rogue river, but was halted ere it gained headway, to sweep into the timber that surrounds the tiny Tillage. All available able-bodied men were draft ed to battle the flames. The blaza started early Saturday afternoon In the brush adjoining the California-Oregon Power company sub-station, and spread rspirily Into the timber on state-owned land. A large amount of atored, heavy duty construction equipment of the power company was seared by the flames, with slight damage, J. C. Thompson, district manager, said. The flames swept to Rogue river, over a strip a mile wide where It was halted by a deep canyon. The origin of the fire Is unknown. The California-Oregon Power com pany, called out all Its available men and fire fighting equipment, and sent help -from this city. A number of families residing In the timber and threatened by the fire, moved out. A heavy cloud of smoke accom panied the fire, which was fanned by a light breeze, and aided by low humidity, and tinder dryness of the woods. Forest service officials stated Sat urday that a fire in Rock Gulch, located one and one-half miles south. east of Ruch, was set by an Incend iary In three distinct places about 3 p. m. Friday, starting a blaze that swept over 300 acres and took more than 100 CCO men fighting all nlgnt to control by a. m. Saturday. Con siderable young Douglas fir timber was destroyed, offtctals said. Reports from the state fire patrol in Medford last night revealed that a fire near the Crater Lake highway In the Prospect region, burning Sat urday, had all available state patrol men la Medford fighting. Reports In this city of the blaze were Incom plete, coming from the lookout near the fire, who could base his state ments only on the amount of smoke visible. A third fire was reported yesterday by the forest service near Lincoln, on the Klamath Falls highwsy. which was under control Saturday afternoon after burning two or three acres. Twenty men from South Fork of the Rogue CCC camp were called to this fire. Elshtv acres of foxtail near the Agate school was burned Friday night starting about 8:30 o'clock, the state fire patrol reported yesterday, wnn no damage resulting. Smokers appar ently started the fire which was con trolled by a warden from the local patrol and a crew of five men, after attracting dozens of residents to the vicinity. WAXAHACinE. Texas. Aug. 25.

F Nature Aids In Cutting Down Swine Output, And Farm ers Will Get Pay For Hogs They Couldn't Raise. PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 25. (AP) Hog raisers In nine Oregon counties will receive S212.290 from the AAA this year virtually without turning their hands to reduce the swine out put, Herbert L. Collins, chairman of the Oregon state board of review, re vealed today. The reason Is that Mther Nature has practiced a little hpg birth con trol, making the 1934 farrowlngs only about 60 per cent of the average for 1932 and 1833. The AA has agreed to make payments tn the corn-hog control program to farmers who agreed to reduce their production this year to 75 per cent of the 1932- 1933 average. Payments will be made at the rate of 95 a head. Thus, these farmers in Tillamook, Benton, Mor row. Clackamas, Polk, Clatsop, Hood River, Multnomah and Marlon coun ties will receive payment for not raising hogs they could not have raised anyway. Collins said a summary of condi tions In the nine counties shows 1885 contracts were signed. Quotas have now been approved by the state board of review and released to the county allotment committees. "In accordance with instructions from the corn-hog section at Wash ington. D. C, the Oregon atate hog reduction quota haa been discarded and corn-hog contracts from all counties are being reviewed by the Btate board of review and county quo. las established, based on an analysis of contracts and classification of ev Idence submitted in substantiation of contract signers."
