PRESIDENT MAY FIX HOURS AND PAY PENDING CODES; WILL RUSH PUBLIC WORKS Awaits of Johnson on Order. - BETTER TRADE PACTS SOUGHT Public Hearings to Be Held for Some Industries. To hasten fortification of em- /ployment and purchasing power, he administration has under con- isideration a direction to all indus- | try to pay a minimum wage and | restrict working hours until the Roosevelt recovery program takes | fuller effect. This was acknowledged in a| high quarter today, along with as- ! sertions that the President is| pleased with progress to date. There has been no decision ebout any blanket order. Mr. | Roosevelt will heed the guidance of Hugh S. Johnson, industrial ad- ministrator, in that matter. A/ study of ways of going about it is | under way. | In “Half-Baked” Stage. Johnson told reporters that proposa]sl for a general wage and hour limit for industry were still in the “half-baked” stage. He pointed out that under the Jaw, such a plan probably could not be made mandatory. He is investigating methods of group- ing industries in various classes, so general levels which they could apply voluntarily might be prescribed. Many industries are said to appear to want some such suggestion from the | Recovery Administration. Early today there was no sign at Johnson's office of the steel code which he said yesterday was expected mo- mentarily. Other codes were expected to be re- geived and set for hearing very shortly. Bids for Foreign Trade. ‘The. President, meanwhile, has un-; dertaken other means of helping ‘American business—this time by open- ing negotiations with half a dozen countries for new trade relations.

While anxious for speed on restoring | employment and lifting purchasing power by means of the industrial con- 1ol law, it was said Mr. Roosevelt tealizes the establishment of the codes fixing hours of work, minimum wlg!s‘ =nd production is a tremendous n.sk‘ for any industry. i He understands that only & very| £mall minority are not working now on | the formulation of these new_ working| charters. | He is giving particular thought to the coal industry, considering it necessary | to find new work for thousands of | miners. Even whengythe industry is put | on a stable basis, it'is the undcr:!a.nd-‘ ing of Mr. Roosevelt that only & third of the miners could be placed in full- time jobs. Therefore, he is thinking of the use | of some of the $25,000,000 available for | subsistance farms. He hopes some of the miners will go to farming. Hearings Planned. When the steel code is submitted, Administrator Johnson plans a hearigg on it—representative of 95 per cent or more of the steel industry, measured by output. He plans for it to run concur- yently with the hearing of the lumber indust. set to begin July 20.

Falkenstein asserted the bank’s rec- ord of deposits between December 30, 1932, and January 3, 1933, stood between $107.000,000 and $109,500,000, but that during the perfod the bank did not change against the deposit total a $7,000,000 liability under a repurchase agreement. On January 4, the deposit total fell to $101,000,000, where it had been on December 29.

Ousted Government workers with civil | service status obtained through com- petitive examination will go on a “pr ferred list” from which the new emer- gency agencies may choose personnel, President Roosevet said today. Pre- sumably, such selections will be opticnal. The word was the first from the White House on this subject and came prior to a meeting, arranged at 3 o'clock this afternocn, at which William Green, | president of the American Federation of Labcr, is presenting a plea for re- employment in the new groups of those workers dropped and facing removal under the retrenchment program. President Roosevelt’s attitude was bared in response to a question as to| the attitude of the administration on | this point. ‘Will Prepare List. It was explained that the Civil Service Commission will prepare this list of those who won their civil service status by competition rather than through politics and that the new re- | covery agencies will have this list| available in selecting both departmental and field workers. This will have the effect, it was amplified, of barring from re-employ- ment workers who came under civil service via executive orders. However, it was explained that the | so-called political civil service employes will not be prevented from taking civil and becoming eligible for employment because of their politics. President Roosevelt stated that in all fairness to the civil service system there should be a distinction between those employes who came into the service by competitive examinations, which class he described as “honest-to-goodness! civil service employes,” and the other | | class, which he described as “political.” Reaffirms Faith. In defining this policy, the President reaffirmed his faith in the civil serv- ice system. He feels confident that since the beginning of the civil service system the competitive examinations have been free from politics. He re- called that when the civil service sys- tem was started during the administra- tion of Grover Cleveland it was in- tended to appoint people on merit re- gardless of party and that he hoped it | would continue along those lines.

Projects Need Only O. K. of Executive. MANY NEW JOBS EXPECTED SOON ‘ IckesHasCompletedI List of First Enterprises. Ready to start the $3,300,000,000 public works program, President Roosevelt today arranged for a conference with Secretary of the Interior Ickes, the public works administrator, who has drafted and approved the list of first projects to be undertaken, these involving a total of about $200,- 000,000. The project needs only the President’s indorsement and offi- cials said much of the work could begin almost immediately, thus creating many jobs quickly. Not a Super-Cabinet. Confident and pleased with the gen- eral progress of his recovery and public works organization, Mr. Roosevelt smiled today at references to his newly created executive council as & “super- cabinet.” It was said authoritatively that the group was not to be considered a “super-cabinet.” C. Walker, who was appointed yester- day by the President as executive secre- tary of the new council, does not have the power of an assistant president, al- though he will be greatly relied upon by Mr. Roosevelt in co-ordinating the vari- ous activities. The Bureau of Public Roads today was studying allotments’ to States for highway construction. The public works cabinet board got ready to pass on non- Pederal construction works and agree to advance Federal money to help finance them. Before establishing yesterday 'l'hlt the Capital calls his “super-cabinet” to co-ordinate the recovery drive—and telling these men to work fast—Mr. Roosevelt looked over, and revised con- siderably, a preliminary list of Federal public works projects proposed.

The allocation for New York had been previously announced.

RING OFFERED AS PROOF FACTOR IS A PRISONER Posses Hunt Abductors of Alton, 111, Banker—"eorgia Youth Indicted. By the Associated Press. Developments, perhaps of a startling nature, appeared imminent today in the cases of three men held for ransom by kidnapers. At Albany, N. Y., & sum of money reported as being between $20,000 and $100,000 was understood to be ready for payment to the abductors of Lieut. John J. O'Cnnell, jr., nephew of the Democratic party leaders, Daniel and Edward O'Connell. A contact with the kidnapers by an intermediary was understood to have been made. The ransom demanded is $250,000. ‘The kidnapers of John (Jake the Barber) Factor, who has been missing since July 1, have communicated anew with his family in Chicago, sending a ring belonging to Factor as proof that he is their prisoner. They have demand- ed $200,000, which the family states it cannot raise. The aged Alton, IIl, banker, August Luer, kidnaped from his home Monday night, has not been heard from. Posses are hunting his abductors, while his family seeks to establish contact with them. Fears are felt for the banker because of the poor condition of his ith. health. A Fulton, Ga., grand jury indicted Pryor Bowen, 17-year-old schoolboy, last night for the kidnaping of John K. Ottley, Atlanta banker, last Thursday. Ottley escaped shortly after the kidnaping. O'CONNELL'S RELEASE EXPECTED Albany Newspaper Says Abducters Agree to 520,000 Ransom. ALBANY, N. Y, July 12 (A).—Re- | ports were flyng today that young John J. O'Connell, jr., nephew of the Upstate democratic dictators, would be freed by N‘ldudm today after & ransom was paid. The Albany Evening News heard ‘the abductors had agreed to accept $20,000, a small share of the $250,000 de- manded. The paper also said the 24- year-old son of the eldest of the three O'Connells would be released in the historic Catskill Mountains, south of the city. Dan ,O'Connell, one of the uncles, ahd the father of the hostage, were away from Dan’s Helderberg Moun- tain retreat all of the morning.

Young O'Connell was kidnaped last Friday morning as he returned home from a “date” with Miss Mary Fahey, a young woman friend. The O'Connell brothers returned to Dan's Summer home shortly after noon.
