v 2 RICHBERG MAY NOT RETURN TO NRA POSITION Youthful Legal Adviser Might Get Job: Sifting New Deal This Fall By HERBERT PLUMM WASHINGTON, - July 27—Whi'e considerable mystery continues to envelop just what the President had in mind when he named Don- ald R. Richberg, 'NRA General Counsel, as coprdinater of the var-| ious emergeney relief activities du | ing the summer, many observers believe one thing is certain. | It is doubtful if the youthful | eloquent and diplomatic legal ad-| viser for NRA will return to his| old ppst in the fall. \ Althaqugh ‘granted leave of ab-' sence from NRA until September 1,* it is thought Mr. Roosevelt has other plans for Richberg in the fu- | ture. The best guess seems to bel that his duties will be in the field, of planning for retention of those| phases of the “new deal” deemed | worthy of being made permanent. In his new job, Richberg will| have opportunity to view the whole, machinery of recovery in broad outline and not simply from the| standpoint of NRA. { This experience, plus the ability | he has demonstrated already as! on» of the key men of NRA should make him doubly valuable to the| Administration in the working out of its plans in the future. BREATHING SPELL HERE Everything points to the quietest | period from now until September 1 the national capital has exper-| ienced since President Roosevelt entered the White House on March | 4, 1928. | It begins to appear as if that ! long-waited “breathing spell” for | both the capital and the nation is to become a reality. So far as, is known no new policies are to be initiated until the President's return from his vacation cruise The whole governmental setup ap-| parently will rock along in easy| fashion until the last of August.| Mr. Roosevelt has passed out the | word to his aides to take it easy| politically. Therg'll be several of them' touring the country during the next few weeks making speech- | es in behalf of the ‘‘new deal”| but a renewal of the feverish ac-| tivity which has charactrized the| past months is not expected. \ It probably won't be until the U. 8. 8. Houston docks in Seattle | some time in August and lands its| distinguished passenger that things will start really humming once more. ‘ — | TELLING HIS CONSTITUENTS | To 33-year-old Thomas O'Malley of Wisconsin, a first-termer in the ‘House, probably goes the distinc- | tion of thinking up the most novel method of acquainting his con- stituents of what he did in their behalf in the Seventy-Third Con- gress in a mneffort to convince them | to keep him in for another term. The youthful and earnest Mr. | O'Malley consumed some eight| pages in the Congressional Record Jjust before adjournment in mak- ing out his case. He listed every vote he cast and gave in detail the reasons why he voted as he did. He went back through past issues ‘of the Record, picked out those instances where | he participated in debate on the | floor or made a speech and set them forth in detail. | It's probably one of the few times a Congressman ever managed to| get a “re-print” on anything quite | 80 extensive. Doumergue’s Monacle | Tickles French Humor PARIS, July 27.—Premier Gas-| ton Doumergue is looking at France’s problems through a mon- ocle. | The venerable self-made states- man donned the single-barrelled eye-glass when he was called back to Paris as the man of the hour after the recent riots. | Humorists immediately gave him | the title of the “Marquis de Tour- nefeuille,” that being the little town near Nimes where he had been in retirement. Mr. Doumergue explained that he had lost none of his democratic Jeanings, but that the monocle' was a crutch for a weakening eye Uniforms for Wine BSAN FRANCISCO, Cal,, July 27— ‘Without resorting to alchemy, thirteen soldiers at the Monterey Presidio have transmuted uniforms, loots, shoes and other wearing ap- | parel into wine. ‘ ‘8o declared Col.

With respect to the main object- | ives of the recovery program—to | get men and money back to work | —the present efforts of the Ad- ministration are impressive. | Whether these efforts will suc- ceed fully remains a matter of debate, but unquestionably hope is rising in Washington. < Summer, dullness is expected, as a matter of course. The normal fall' upturn is looked forward to, however, as encompassing large possibilities. CHASING IDLE MONEY The task of getting the money out of hiding, into the channels of trade, has proved the most stubborn of the recovery problems. Mr. Hoover sought to master it through varfous credit agencies. Mr. Roosevelt has intensified that effort, and Congress now has add- ed the leverage of strongly per- suasive legislation. Under the credit expausion act, the Government has gone into partnership with the reserve banks in lending.
