WASHINGTON, March 15. Presi
dent Roosevelt has quietly abandon
ed his pose of not commenting on
legislation pending In congress. His
message on the
holding company
" bill was com
ment as strong
as any congress
over has receiv
ed. There will
be more Inter on
the Wacner la
bor bill and per
haps on N17A
and the bank
bill.
This is further
evident--? tltat the
president Is be
PAUL MALLON
ginning to take hold.
The touch of white protruding from
Senator Pat Harrison's coat sleeve Is
not his cuff, but a skeleton of the
administration's Nit A reorganization
bill.
You may recall that the new deal
ers have more or less seriously main
tained the Illusion that they would
not offer a new NRA bill. They may
continue to maintain It for diplo
matic reasons, but the Harrison draft
already has been In circulation pri
vately among senators and labor
leaders.
It was prepared under direction of
Coordinator Rlchberg by Blackwell
Smith, the big Inside man at NRA.
Those who saw It a few days ago no
ticed it contained only one impor
tant change from the existing NRA
set-up. That change would make ex
plicit the president's right to Impose
a code.
There Is another NRA bill In pri
vate circulation. It Is a hot one, pre
pared by leftish new dealers. They
submitted It to the A. F. of L. crowd
tlic other clay, and thought, they ob
tained a promise by labor to come
out in favor of It later.
Tills bill would shorten hours and
Increase pay, adopting the thirty
hour week basically, but allowing
board exemptions. Also, it would
adopt a strict majority rule on sec
tion 7-A, give labor equal represen
tation on the code authority and con
tinue the present five-man adminis
trative board.
The hottest feature, is a provision
authorizing the president to appoint
public trustees to take over and op
eratcany business not Joining NRA.
This would mean that the govern
ment would, for Instance, seize the
Ford nlnnt and onerate 1L.
nit iiin rins nnt havi the an. 1
proval of the White House, but the j
scheme behind it is to stir up the
progressives in the senate and have
them gang the administration.
These two bills do not tell what Is
going to happen to NRA in the end
. They merely represent the two con
flictlng viewpoints around which the
congressional clash Is being organ
Ired. The most significant indication of
how the fight may work out lies In
the fact that Mr. Roosevelt is be
ginning to take hold of It. He let It
drift until recently. He will have to
make some compromise with the la
bor viewpoint, but he stands a good i
chance of preserving the general NRA ,
framework. There have been htntf
lately that he may buy labor off by
championing the Wagner bill.
The fanciest of all Inner govern
mental disputes now is the one about
Mr. Roosevelt's diet.
It seems that Agriculture Secretary
Wallace's bureau of home economic
has devised four model diets. Mrs.
Roosevelt served a sample at the
White House months aeo. and the
war started when grain Interests
Wtl
fourd it recommended consumution -,
of 200 'pounds of gram a year, where- i
4 as Americans now are consuming an
average of 240 pounds. The craln boys!
have ben pulling Wallace's coat
tails rvpr since.
Rrcntly the mrat packers discov
ered that two of the lo ver cost diets
rceunmrnded. consumption of more
grain and less meat, and they have
joined the melee. This does not hurt
the cram flcht because the two high
er cost diets rrrommcndrd more
rr.ea.t. leis grain. Both factions have
manned to krp ctrMvely stenmrd
up nbnvit the ridiculousness of an
agriculture department urging less
enr.suniption of grain or meat, or
both.

day, February 35. 101 persons have
been caught red-hnnded. and hailed
Into the city police station. About
DO of tho offenders enriched the city
coffers by about 00. the remslnder
being shoppers living on farrts a long
way from town who had not heard
of the ordinance.
These people were allowed to de
part with their fine still In their
pockets, but with tho warning that
the next offenso would bring a heavy
reckoning. The drive, city traffic of
ficer Tom Robinson stated today, ha
been very effective In reijevln; the
truffle congestion that waa developing
ln the lewtiicted eone.
IlKVKRr.V HILLS, March
11. Shv, did joii rend nboul
wlint Mr. Koosevi'lt said about
those "holding" companies.' I
wouldn't want my worst enemy
to enll mo names like that.
Now Ilury Lonit and Father
('niiKhlin and Otioral Hugh
Johnson ran rail caeh other
names. Hut theirs is all in Rood,
clean fun. They don't really
mean it', any of 'em, but Mr,
Roosevelt ain't kidding.
And what makes it worse is
that it's true. A holding; com
pany is a thinij where you haM
an accomplice the poods while
the policeman searches you.
