JOHNSON MAKES APPEAL, NRA'S RETURN Declares Huge Gains Lost by “Explosive Blund- er,” Supreme Court WASHINGTON, May 30— The original champion of NRA, Gen. Hugh 8. Johnson, took up the cause of the demolished recovery agency with a radio address last night as- serting that huge gains have been lost through “one explosive blun-| der” from the Supreme Court. | Gen. Jobnson made his address a few hours after President Roose- velt had declared the reaction in the court to the court’s decision| was patumount to Washington de- | velopments. Price Cutting Starts After sketching conditions prior to NRA, Gen. Johnson said with the institution' of NRA a new method was applied by which the “¢hiseling, fringe” of any industry was jprevented from using guerilla methods -to- promote business. With | invalidation of NRA; Gen. Johnson sald, price cutting began at once. He mentioned the reduction in the price. of " cigarettes in New York which, he said meant “ruin to the small tobacconist.” " ‘Appeals To Beneficiaries G, Johnson appealed to what he termed millions of beneficiaries of NRA to inform their congress- men they desire their benefits con- tinued. “If they do not act immediately,” said Gen. Johnson, “we will see the worst orgy in wage cutting pos- sible.” Gen. Johnson declared, however, that be did not believe millions of Jobs will be lost and hours of labor lengthened or that gains made by NRA will be destroyed. He called this “unthinkable.” DEVELOPMENTS BEING WATCHED ON NRA PLANS BANKER FETED IN HOLLYWOOD | The House of Rothschild and the navy were represented at a Holly- wood funcheon given by heads of the film industry.

WASHINGTCN, May oi-- The United States saluted her war dead today. : Thousands took part in the pag- eant, alternately solemn and mar- tial, as it spread from coast to coast. Men in blue had seats and places of honor in the various parades and exercises. President Roosevelt joined in the observance here where a stand at the White House had been provided for a review of the annual parade. WASHINGTON, May 30—Ex-Vice President Charles Curtis said here today that a “dozsn” Republican could defeat President Roosevelt in 1936, but he refused to name them in an interview. He said: “With a good campaign we will carry the country next election. I expect to be in the campaign but not as a candidate.” | He said the NRA decision was one of the outstanding issues as the Republican party had always| been in favor of doing things ac- cording to the Constitution but ‘‘other people maybe haven't been | so0 careful.” LUMBER STRIKE IS OVER IN ONE SECTION OF N.
