IMI Ml 1W IN Ml I Hthvs I LONG Bi"d By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept. 7. The story behind the wholesale resigns tlon of the retail coal code authority la a tale flaming with red hot NBA clinkers. The authority and lta 49 chil dren are support ed by the Nation al Retail Dealera. That la, salariea and expenses of the code authori ty here and of the aub-authorl-tlea In each of the 48 atatea and ' the- District of Paul Mailon Columbia are contributed by the coal men themselves. NO one would cry about that, except that the main Job of the sub-authorl ties appeara to have been the fixing of prices for their respective etaies. Tou can readily eee what an Inferno can be smoked up when the coal men pay the salaries of the boys who fix the prices for them. Not only that, but 30,000 (count up how much that Is) of the contribu tion went to a Philadelphia lawyer as a fee for legal advice to the code au thority. And NBA lnsldera aay the lawyer Is one who desbelleves In the NRA and thinks It Is unconstitu tional. What really fanned the situation Into flames was a development In St. Louis. Loyal NBA men here aay that the St. Louis school board tried to buy some coal and found the prlee con siderably higher. It was told the NRA had ordered ths Increase. The attorney-general out there Investigated, threatened anti-trust action and de manded that the coal aubauthorlty be fired. The NRA here then got busy and ordered all regional coal code authori ties to aubmlt their cost and price data to Waahlngton before permitting new prices to go Into effect. The code authority here resigned In protest and it la assumed some of the regional sub-authorltlee will .shortly follow suit. Thus the NRA Is getting coals of fire headed upon It head for trying to decrease prices, and the code might as well he In the ash can. There ha been a lot of inside talk around here lately that Mr. Hoover will worlc a line Into hla "challenge to liberty," saying he does not choose to run In 1036. Friends who have aeen the manu script awear there la nothing like that in It. They do not believe any- thing eo definite could have been ln 7 aerted by the ex-presldent after they saw the manuscript, although they are not sure. They srgue convincingly that Mr. Hoover could not make auch a state ment for two very good reasons po liteness and politics. It would cer tainly be Impossible, if not Indiscreet, for hm to assume he la In line for the next republcan nomination.

The administration publicity gents hereabouts could show Bobby Jones i fpw tricks about timing. Just a day before the resignation i of Budget Director Douglas came out. the treasury Issued a statement prom Uing that the September financing would be confined to refinancing old luuea. That is the first time the treas ury has even Issued any such prom ises ahead of time. Old treasury out alders did not know what to make of it until they noted the Douglas res ignation.
