A4 = ‘D. C. OVERLOOKED | IN JOBS CAMPAIGN Drafting of Leaders Here i Left Out in Oversight { of Recovery Chiefs. Through an “oversight,” the District Columbia was not included by the ational Recovery Administration in the “drafting” of civic and business leaders to head local re-employment eampaigns throughout the country. Six hundred and fourteen commit- #eemen were named by President Roosevelt yesterday in 48 States and 26 geographical districts to push the sdministration’s recovery program, but | the Capital was not included. It was explained at the N. R. A.| offices today that the oversight was | due to the fact that in preparing the lists the administration followed the | lists of States and the geographical di- | visions used by the Department of | Commerce in the transaction of its| business, which lists, of course, do not include the Capital Expected to Be Rectified. ! ‘The error, however, is expected to be rectified shortly, since the matter was brought immediately to the atten- tion of Gen. Thomas S. Hammon, ad- | ministrator of the re-employment pro- gram. He promised a special committee would be named as soon as possible to direct this city’s recovery work. ‘The District, it was explained, was to have been included in the Norfolk | territory, which embraces Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina, such as had been the procedure in connection with establishment of regional offices for the filing of industrial codes.

But maybe you can do me a favor. A mob of con-men have knocked our books over for a hundred grand in the last month.” “I'm heartbroken,” the inspector sald sarcastically. “That is, almost heartbroken. But how do these fellows work?"” “Simple. They work on street corner and news stand bookmakers who only have time to look hur- These exposures of rackets are printed to advis: the public.

Now sup- pose some horse has got the third race sewed up; he is an odds-on favorite at a prohibitively short price. The boys give the bookle & sHip of paper with a sizable bet on that horse. The horse is practically sure to win, but the odds are so low that the bookie doesn't worry. “Here is the gag: Up above the | | name of that horse they have written the winners of the two earlier races in this new trick invisible ink. After the bookie has the slip in his pocket for a few hours the ink comes out clear and you can't tell it from the rest of the writing. The bet shows up as a big money parley (betting all three horses to win). The only chance for failure is for the care- fully selected last horse to lose.” and protect J. A. Taylor, Wilmington, N.

JBT 2, 19 Retired PROCEDURE DELAYS RELEASE OF CODES Hundreds Held Up While Study Is Made, but Big Ones Get Through. ‘The National Recovery Administration has received 600 to 700 wage and hour fixing codes of fair practice, submitted by as many industrial groups, but only twoscore have been allowed to become public. Here is the reason, as explained by John M. Hancock, executive officer of the N. R. A.: Once a code is received, a study is made to determine whether the associ- ation representing it is representative. It it is, a “code analyst” examines the | association's by-laws and regulations to 1 see there are no inequitable restrictions on membership. Another analyst then examines the code to see if it guarantees collective bargaining and bans child labor and whether it fits in with administration ‘FOHC)E ‘The latter examiner drafts a i etter suggesting changes.
