W ASH rNGTON , Nov. 15. There is snore than a good suspicion Inside -certain trade association groups here that the new dealers are work ing - on a. basic plan for NRA re vival. A few of the most sympathetic Indus tries are supposed to have been sounded out on It. The hope la that they may sponsor the pro posals at the Berry conference here December 0. CAUL MALLON That Is, the government may not put forward the plan officially Itself, but will have it come from industry. The basis of the proposal Is sup posed to be new hour, wage and antl chiseling price agreements, to be agreed on voluntarily, but possibly under federal trade commission sup ervision.

They re afraid of what may be dMie by some Industrialists In their same line, while they are absent. Consequently, the attendance at the conference will probably be much larger than the hopes.
