No one was quite satisfied with this new directorate which President Roosevelt elected to reor ganize the NBA. The American Federation of La bor boys, for ln atance gava aomo mild public ap plause for the ake of appear ances, but among themselvea they began to worry. The labor repre sentatives In the new directorate are not the American Federation of Labor kind at least, not the William Green kind. Likewise, the white shirt groupa of Industrialists started murmuring among themselves about the pre ponderance of Rooscveltlan liberals In the new set-up. They began to ylne for good old General Johnson. For this reason most of the Impar tial Insldera here are leaning toward the view that the new set-up may be "all right." meaning that they expect It to worn toward a middle-of-the-road result. WILL GET BULK Compromise Reached Out Of Court Given Judge's Sanction Must Settle $50,000 Fund On Son. Paul MaUuu T i That "middle-of-the-road" phrase does not hare a very specific meaning iiny more. Too much depends on what radical or conservative camp you are viewing the road from. You can get a better Idea of what to expect from borinq; Into the per sonalities behind the new set-up. These personalities may be checked aa follows: Clay Williams a hard-boiled, cap able former tobacco manufacturer whose Industry has not accepted an NR A code. Arthur Whiteside an Intelligent Wall-treeter who signed tha cham ber of commerce statement a week sro urging that the NRA be scrapped. Sidney Hill man a rough-and-tumble, efficient labor lender, who has the clothing Industry under the thumb of his union. His labor tie-up 1s with the John Lewis crowd In the American Fedora tlon of T..ibor, not with the Green crowd. Walton Hamilton a Yale law pro fessor, formerly an ardent left-win? progressive, who has b?en mellowed somewhat by his studies of constitu tional law. lon Mnrshalt A moderate liberal cnllpg professor, who has been at Johns Hopkins trying to 'isrure out how to humanize law. Add those personalities up, and the ns'.vpr is nothing. This board prob ably never will be able to agree on where to hold Its meetings. It Is three to two liberal, but the third liberal (Marshall) Is an Indeterminate, or at least an uncertain, quantity. LOS ANGELES. Oct. 1. (API- Superior Judge Robert W.

Harold Oliver WASHINGTON. Oct. I. (AP) President Roosevelt applied himself today to a new experiment a truca to warfare between capital and labor, with the government as the umpire. Margaret Keith, wealthy eccentric recluse, who Icrt her entire estate estimated at over $1,000,000, to her mansion of the wealthy spinster shall nephew, Albert C. Allen Jr., of Med ford.

David Keith of Salt Lake C'.ty, Utah, and Etta Keith Eskrldge of Los Angeles. They also will get 4.600 shares of Silver King mining stock. Mary Allen Tov le, a niece, receives 4,000 share of -.he stock. Albert c. Allen Jr., Oregon farmer. living near Medford. who wss be queathed practically all the estate under Mls Keith's two wills, win receive the remainder of the estate, with th'j provision he shall provide a trust fund of aSO.000 for the bene fit of his son Albert C. Allen III, who Is four years old. Judge Kenny was Informed by law yrrs the inheritance tax on the es tate will amount to 31.000. The court Insisted the tax ba paid on the basis of the provisions in the will, which gave the property to Allen. If the brother and sister had been considered legatees in determining the inheritance, the tax would have been about half that which a nephew would be required to pay. As part of the settlement announc ed today Mrs. Towle withdraws a 225.000 damages suit against her father. -Albert C. Allen Sr., and her brother, charging kidnaping threats and Intimidation as a result of a property disagreement several yeara ago. THIRTY HOUR WEEK PLAN HAS BACKING The real secret of the reorganlra tlon may be found in the personali ties on the second directorate that is. the policy committee. There will be no disagreement among these pol icy fixers. They are all of one mind, and the mind they are of Is Mr. Roosevelt's. Messrs, Richberg. Tckes, Hopkins, nd Miss Perkins know that Mr. Roosevelt wants reform. They will plve it to him- In fact, they may give him Just a little more rerorm than he wants, for they are all zealous pro prelves and liberals, who have an Irrepressible hankering to make everything better. They will tell the first committee what to do. All of them, except Richberg. are too busy with other Jobs to worry about details, but all will vote "aye' whenever Richberg calls them in. They will decide all the heavy policies over which the ad ministrative board will spilt: and they will decide them the liberal way. New Deal Co-ordlnators Walker and Richberg found many conflicting phs.s Inside the new deal, but they never found one to equal a current Insurrection inside the FERA. Tmployes there are actually collect- In? defense fees for a field agent who la being prosecuted by the Justice de partment for fraud. Tie case Is that of Pierce Williams. FERA field agent in California, who was indicted by a federal grand Jury on a charge of conplrary to defraud the government. The prosecution is being handled by the United State district attorney of Los Anseles. Mr. Williams has pome friends in the FERA here t,o oeneve ne is De lng Injuitly treated SAN FRANCI3CO. Oct. 1.

Green'a declaration In favor of n 30 hour week was greeted by heart;; applause from the packed convention hall. "Those opposing the 30 hour week offer no other remedy." he said. can only repeat the challenge I have made before let them offer us some thing better aa a remedy." Although President Roosevelt's ad ministration was said by Green to have made definite progress in ',he unemployment program, the labor president said much remains to be done and "the fact remains It has not gone far enough." He said It was not enough to e duce the "army of the unemployed by 4.000.000." "We must overcome tha problem so that work will be available for eveiy orker willing to work." he stated. Through the "wider distribution of earnings of Industry through tie payment of higher wages, the buy ing power of the masses would be increased and we would have a bal ance between consumption and the facilities of production." he added. "It would have been better tru: we never had a scientist or inventor than to have created a vast army of unemployed.' J'VILLE ESCAPES Charged with resisting arrest.

Mr. Roose velt is expected to summon leaders of Industry and organized labor within a few days. He pill seek to have them forego strikes, lockout or other methods of economic force for a "specific trial period of industrial peace." He will ask pledges to settle differences by mutual agreement or, falling that. by the elaborate mediation machinery the New Deal has established. Labor Lauds speech Quick praise for the president's speech cams from President Wllllsm Green of the American Federation of Labor. Calling the address "timely, appropriate and impressive," he said at San Francisco that the "appeal to Industry and labor to use the gov ernment for cooperative purposes is pertinent." He expressed the hope that the National Association of Manufacturers will "take the president s request to heart." The president, accounting for his stewardship for the first time since June, assured the business world that the New Deal Is out to protect "Individual Initiative and the Incen tive of fair profit." Without mentlonng Herbert Hoover or other critics who see "regimenta tion" and dangers to liberty In pres ent governmental trends, he said: Old "Regimentation" Hit "I am not for a return to that definition of liberty under which for many years a free people were being gradually regimented into the serv Ice of a privileged few.

(AP) A generally favorable reaction to Presi dent Roosevelt's latest radio fireside chat with the nation waa reported today at the White House.

Other sections of his speech drew varying Interpretations In the stream of editorial and unofficial comment In some quarters, the speech was called generally reassuring, despite the fact that the markets failed to register an upward trend on the strength of the talk. The presidential reference to the emergence of critics from their atorm cellars recalled the series of ques tion propounded to him recently by the chamber of commerce of the United States. Some looked Into the reference by the chief executive to England's re financing operations and professed to see an Indication that there might be plan In mind to broaden the ex change of low Interest securities for outstanding higher ones. There was no confirmation at the treasury that this was contemplated. CCCMEN KILLED IN AUTO SMASH Rev, Ernest S.
