At least he said today that he never felt better and that, while he ! has had to give & certain amount of a tion to matters of state while up here, he has had time to rest and re-| Jax. He said that his weight is now gbout normal, about 174 pounds.

He cautioned the molders of public opinion against crawling out on a limb with predictions. He did everything but say flatly that Mr. Roosevelt was not going to inflate. It did not take long for Wall street to hear about that. A representa- tive of a large New York bank tele- phoned the tidings to the bank president. The banker replied: “Tell Mr. Roosevelt we went out on the limb with him when he said he would restore commodity prices and we are going 1o stay out on the limb with him until he sa something different.” Next day the market ted going up & little on the expectation of infla- tion.

Those nearest the President swear (off the record) that dollar devalua- tion was not discussed when War- burg. Rudgers and Warren put their heads together with Mr. Roosevelt at Hyde Park. Unofficial word is be- ing passed out that they talked Treasury financing. The specific subject was supposed to be the money_needed by the Government for public works and other expendi- tures during the remainder of the fiscal year. The best expert opinion is that the Government may be able to get along with &bout $750.000.000 of new money That is not enough to get about. Suspiclous cbservers noted that the refinancing subject is very closely in- terwoven with the dollar. You might discuss one without the®other, but it would be difficult.

Carr, secretary of labor and industry, predicted that settlement of hosiery and textile strikes, if effected through Federal arbitration and N. R. A. codes, probably would dispose of Pennsyl- wvanta's immediate strike problem. " PLANE'S SEARCH FUTILE MIAMI, Fla., August 11 (P).—After a fruitless search of more than three hours, the Coast Guard plane Antares returned to its base here last night, its officers doubtine the authenticity of a report that nine men, two dead or dying, were marooned on an island of the Ten Thousand Group.

Summer Buying Over. There are two sides to those figures. One is that August always has been a bad business month. Summer buying is over. Fall buying has not vet start- ed. Car loadings ity generally wilt under the heat. Per- haps September weather will bring its own relief The other side is that the admin- istration has been combatting sea- sonal trends successfully since March 4. 1If it wants to keep all the curves going up, it cannot permit a breath- ing spell mow. The average man need not worry himself about the inflation and anti-inflation ballyhoo. There are certain elementarv facis in the situation on which he can rely. The basic one is that Mr. Roosevelt 1s in control and has the power to do what he believes is best. He mittedly experimenting and constantly -hanging his methods. He has not anged his purpose—improved com- modity prices, re-employment, higher wages. Will Change if Necessary. If one method falters, he will try another before you realize the first one has failed. Speculators may sufter, but not the average citizen. The only way he can ultimately fall short of his objective is for all meth- ods to fail. The time to think about that possi- flity has not yet come. Those in charge of setting up the deposit guarantec for banks are still sitting on their hands. It seems they just cannot do a thing without two new trustees. ~ These trustees have not been appointed. No one knows when they will be. After they are selected all they will have to do is pore over the records of 10,000 banks and_work out the guarantee set-up. Two fast men might do it in a year or so. The law provides that the set-yp go into effect January 1 maybe. Gen. Johnson apparently has not been told there will be no inflation. He is conducting a “buy-now” campaign, predicting prices will shortly be higher. Mr. Roosevelt's closest associates-are annoyed at the widespread use of his picture by private firms in connection with N. R. A. They are thinking of those advertisements which read: “Mr. Roosevelt, we are with you" * * * Their idea.is that such a thing can be over- dore. They are also worried that lip service to the N. R. A. may exceed genuine action. (Copyright, 1933.)

Campaign to Intensify. ‘The campaign, Johnson predicted, would intensify during the next three weeks| toward “complete saturation of the country” with the spirit of the recovery program. With its buying campaign definitely launched, the N. R. A. pressed its efforts to swing more industries unde. recovety codes designed to rase pay and create more jobs. - The bituminous coal industry code, In a jungle of conflicting ideas by opera- tors and unions, entered the third day of public hearing. The administration planned to begin similar hearings August 18 on an- other major industry. the automobile | business. ‘The accessory industry will be considered and have a code entirely divorced from that of the automobile manufacturing business, Johnson indi- cated. Capital and labor were mnot so prominent in another problem, the etting up of a code of falr competi- | tion for the grain exchanges. Here the issue appeared to revolve around the declaration of George N. Peek, chief | farm cdministrator, that the grain | exchanges must make further efforts |to “clean house” before thefr code | would be acceptable. Constitutionality Question. * Just before Johnson left for Balti- more the question of the constitution- ality of the national recovery act was mjected into the campaign. Attorneys for hosiery manufacturers challenged the legality of the recovery act's labor provisions, the question be- ing raised by David R. Clark, a Chi- cago lawyer. Speaking for the L. & A, Hosiery and other ccmpanies, Clark said the section of the law reserving to labor the right to organize and bargain col- lectively was contrary to constitutional | rights under Supreme Court decisions. | He contended that by agreeing to the ccde containing that provision the manufacturers would waive their con- | | stitutional rights. This statement itself was challenged sternly by Sidney Hillman, one of| Johnson’s labor advisers. who labeled the criticism “the most outrageous statement to be made by any cne at any cf the hearings.” Johnson arrived in Baltimore during 2 heavy rainstorm and launched imme- diately into his address. hurrying through it before his return to Wash- ington. Police estimated 2,600 attend- ed the rally. Gov. Albert C. Ritchie followed the administrator, saying the N. R. A. drive is “a call and determination that every | American citizen shall again have his God-given opportunity to have & job | and to enjoy the fruits of his worl | In his address Johnson struck out at the doubting Thomases” and the “witch-doctors of the let-things-alone school of economic thought.” He called directly upon the consumers to start at once patronizing those firms which are fulfilling the program of rais- ing wages and spreading employment to | inCrease purchasing power and denied that the plan which he Is directing en- visions a “boycott.” *1t is nothing of the sort.” he said. | “It is a white list if you like.

Support for Supporters. those circumstances it would be | cowardly and unfair for the N. R. A. to omit to pdnt out to the people that they can only keep the re-employment | program going by supporting those who support it. Let us be frank and sensi- hle.” Turning again to his promise to em- ployers that buying would be stimu- lated to take care of the increased wages which they are asked to pay. Johnson said “the public must buy now.” “It must buy under the blue eagle and it must buy to the full of its reasonable | and prudent needs.” he added. “It cannot be otherwice. To support in- creased wages there must be increased business. © To get increased business there must be increased buying. In- creased wages depend on increased buy- | ing and we can’t have one without the other and that is as certain as that ! two and two make four.” New impetus to the economic sta- | bility campaign had been provided in | the "Cepital yesterday with the quick |and harmonious settlement of the| hosiery strike which has _disturbed | nearly two-score mills in Reading, Pa., for weeks. Taking jurisdiction for the first time in a strike since being created by Presi- | dent Roosevelt last week, the National Labor Board heard both employes and employers and within & few hours of- fered a basis of accord which was ac- cepted A restaurant agreement which per- mits owners to comply with it and ob- tain the blue eagle pending acceptance of a permanent code was estimated by spokesmen for the industry to provide new employment for from 50,000 to 75,- 000 persons, with increased pay rolls of $100.000,000 annually. Labor leaders, however, expressed disappointment with its terms and said they would not give new jobs. Other cluded: With & specific reservation agalnst “unsatisfactory wage and rate sched- ules,” Johnson approved a modified re- employment agreement for laundry owners. Agreements Are Modified. ‘Modifled wage and hour agreements for the confectionery manufacturing and grain terminal warehouse indus- tries permitting complying members to obtain the Blue Eagle, were promul- gated. | A report from the deputy adminis- | trator upon the lumber codes, hearings | | on which were held several weeks ago, was almost ready for submission to | Johnson, who will send it to President Roosevelt if he approves. Formulation of a copper code was under discussion between spokesmen for the industry and administration offi- cials . Pushing the move to get additional | temporary agreements into effect, offi- cials said that upon the physical capac- ity of the N. R. A. depended largely the date upon which consumers could be asked to patronize Blue Eagle firms. All of the agreements, it was pointed out, are prepared by skilled hands and before even temporary approval of wages and hours can be given they must be carefully analyzed despite the desire for speed. .

FORMER DRY HEAD CONDEMNS AIDES Dairymple Accuses Subol.'di- nates of Duplicity and Double-Dealing. Enforcement of prohibition today rested in the hands of & sharply re- duced force of agents under John 8. Hurley, assistant director of the new | division of investigation of the Depart- ment of Justice, as Maj. A. V. rymple, deposed prohibition director, looked to other Federal fields for em- ployment. After delivering a final blast at what he termed “duplicity, double-crossing and double-dealing” by his subordi- nates, the vociferous 200-pound Cali- forniun turned his attention to the matter of his immediate future in Washington. He is said to covet the t of director of the Industrial Alco- ol Bureau, but Dr. James M. Doran, present incumbent, appears to be & stumbling block. ' Scores His Aides. In his prohibition “swan song.” Maj. Dalrymple attributed his recurrent trou- bles during his brief four months of | official service to insubordination of | some of his aides, whom he blamed for 1ssuing brewery permits to gangsters and for dispatching ‘“Unauthorized” telegrams which precipitated confusion ! in the final reorganization of the bu- reau yesterday. Attorney General Cummings, on va- | cation in’ New England, was to receive today an explosive letter in which Dal- | rymple disclaimed all responsibility for | the telegram blunder, whereby all 1.700 employes of the former bureau were notified of their peremptory dismissal at the close of business Wednesday. | Subsequently telegrams countermanding the discharges were rushed to the field offices in all parts of the country. The erroneous telegrams bore the signa- without his kuowledge by the personnel director. At the same time Dalrymple ve to the press the following szalsmen': “It is duplicity, double-crossing and s indulged in in this matter, that has been prac- liced on numerous occasions in this bureau by subordinates since I be- | came the director. 1 point especially | to -the manner in which permits were | appioved from this office to five rack- | eteering breweries in New Jersey and | the knowledge | tention of the director. In fact three of these permits were granted before | I was ever sworn im as director; one | was grauted the second day after 1| was sworn in and the fifth was on the same day that my letter went out to the administrators throughout th country instructing them _regarding the granting of permits. It is el known that one of the atiorneys in | | this office, J. Bertram Wegman (since | dismissed from the service), conversed with Comdr. John D. Pennington, ti prohibition administrator at Philadel- | phia, and fold hin over the telephone to approvel the permit. Comdr. Pen- ninglon asked Mr. Wegman the que: ton, ‘Has the record of these breweries been brought to the major's attention’ and Wegman said ‘Yes, they have He further stated that the major had instructed hin to tell Pennington to go shead and approve the permit Wegman later admitted, under oath |and in the presence of Special Agen. | Morrison ot the Department of Justice | that he had never brought to the at- tention of the director anything about | the record of the brewe in ques- tion and that he had never even dis- cussed them with the director. “There are numerous instances of jthis kind of conduct on the part of | subordinates, who have taken matters | into_their own hands and acted upon | their own_initiative, without ever cor sulting with the director. As & result | of these independent acts of these employes, udvers criticism to this de- partment has resulted.” Denies Blame for Error. | In his letter to Cummings, Dalrymple said “1 am attaching hereto an article in The Washington Star of August 10, entitled ‘Dry Bureau Slash Mistake | Corrected us 600 Get Notices.' | “Clearly Mr. J. Edgar Hoover, director | of the Bureau of Iuvestigation of the Department of Justice, the bureau that | now takes over whal remains of pro- hibition, intended to imply that the director of prohibition.

Reichgut, head of the Personnel | Division of this bureau, who *this day | admits that he sent both said telegrams and that he did not discuss either of said telegrams with me, nor did he inti- | mate to me that either of said tele- | grams were being sent. “I point this out to you as another one of the multifarious acts of dislo} alty to me while director of prohibitio many of which have resulted in un favorable publicity to your department. as reflecting upon this bureau. I have repeatedly brought these matters to your attention. Before such an important telegram, vitally | affecting some 1700 employes of this bureau and of your department, I would certainly have consulted with you to ascertain in what form notice should have been sent, and the contents of such a notice. “Mr. Reichgut, the personnel officer above referred to in this letter agreed, in the presence of press representatives, to sign a full and complete statement that he sent these telegrams without my knowledge and without my consent and without ever discussing them with me. He also agreed to fyrnish me with copies of the telegrams that were sent, but now declines to do either—to fur- or to sign any statement, because, as he says. ‘He has been instructed by his superiors not to give out any document (meaning the telegrams).’ “In view of your absence from the city and in view of the fact that the conduct! on the part of this office has again subjected your department to public criticism, I am taking the lib- erty of giving & copv of this letter to the press, and I feel certain that this will meet with your approval.” LABELS STORY A LIE.

C. C. Refuses Reduction in Charges for Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia. By the Associated Press. The Interstate Commerce Commis:ion today refused to change the present freight rate charges on soft coal from Pennsylvania, Maryland and Northern ‘West Virginia to destinations in Eastern trunk line and New England territories. The decision, affecting the larg freight movement in the Nation's vario groups, found the general rate structic to be not unlawful except in a few in- stances. Similarly, it upheld the p: ent trans-shipment rates from the saine mines to New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore on soft coal for export and coastwise movement. The commission authorized the roacs involved to continue or to establish r: to New England territory without ob- serving the long and short haul sions, the effect being to maintain higher rates from and to intermediate points. Rates Held Unreasonable. ‘The commission held the inte: rates assailed were not unreason: otherwise unlawful except that thé i terstate rates from mines on the W ern Maryland and Baltimore & Oh Railroads in the Cumberland-Piedmont- Meyersdale district to Chambersburg and Greencastle. Pa., were unreasonable to the extent that they exceed or m: xceed $2.46 a long ton Reasonable rates for the future prescribed for these shipments. The commission said the rate level shippers sought to have readjusted had “stood for many years few changes and has been exceptionally free from complzints by either operators or consumers “Neither the grouping nor the rates in this interrelated adjustment should be disturbed by us except on a clear showing of unlawfulness. and such a showing has not been made here. “Although considerable tonnage has been lost to other sources of energy and to tidewater coal from Hampton Roads (Va.), the record contains no facts which warrant a conclusion that any substantial amount of that tonnage could be regained by a reduction in the rates. were Assail Eastbound Rates. “The v effect th the rates financi rd does show the adverse e a slight reduction in Wou! have on defendants’ which is serious.” nnsylvania Coal Pro- ion and the Somerset- Meyerdale and Cumberland-Piedmont Coal Traffic Bureaus had sssailed the Eastbound rates.
