Will Contested
By Paul Mallon
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 1. 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.

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

President in "Fireside Chat" Over Air Slaps

By D. 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.

recluse, who Icrt her entire estate
estimated at over $1,000,000, to her

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

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

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

the chamber of commerce of the

Some looked Into the reference by
