CONSUMER INJURY BYNRAADMITTED Spokesman Cléims, How- ever, That Users Benefited by Codes at First. By the Associated Press. ‘The first consumer spokesman to | appear in the Senate investigation of | N. R. A. testified today the recovery ! unit at first was definitely beneficial to consumers, but that some of the recent results had been detrimental. This view was expressed by Thomas C. Blaisdell, former executive director of the N. R. A. Consumers’ Advisory Board and now director of the Con- sumers’ Division of the National Emer- gency Council. Blaisdell told the Senate Finance Committee, however, that a return to the competitive conditions of 1929 would be undesirable. Regulation Held Desirable. He said that even from the consum- ers’ standpoint the regulation of wages and hours was “socially desirable.” There was considerable evidence, he added, that it brought increased pro- duction without increasing costs in some cases. Earlier, M. D. Vincent, deputy ad- ministrator in charge of the men's clothing code, testified this agreement had brought a “distinct improvement in conditions in the industry.” Blaisdell was asked by Senator Hastings, Republican, of Delaware, whether N. R. A. had been “to the best interests of consumers or agnmst‘ their best interests.” | Claims Early Bencfits. “It seems to me,” he replied, speak- | ing carefully, “that during an earlier period when the President's re- employment agreement was in effect, the consumers were not harmed, in fact, they were definitely benefited.” During that period, he said, there was a definite increase in employment | and production. The second period, which was one | of codification. Blaisdell said, was fol- lowed by a third, in which there were | *some restrictive provisons in which | some of the effect had been detri- mental to consumers ‘ As the session ended, Senator King, Democrat, of Utah. anncunced that | William Green, president of the Amer- | ican Federation of Labor, would testify tomorrow. AUTOIST CRASHES | ELECTRIC EXPRESS Springfleld.fiMdA. Man May Live After Early-Morning Accident. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. GLENN DALE, Md., March 28 —Page A. De Priest, 23, of Springfield, Md. today achieved the “distinction” of | being the first man to collide with one of the Pennsylvania Railroad's new electric trains in this vicinity, and may live to teli the tale. Driving alone in his aummnb)lc De Priest is said by police to have | hit the side of one of the electric | express trains here about 2 o'clock this morning. The impact tossed his car between the railroad tracks and aroused H. A. | Chisholm, local storekeeper. He found that the train, whose engineer | apparently did not know it had been hit, failed to stop. With the aid of R. W. Suman, an- | other local storekeeper, Chisholm helped De Priest from the wreckage and placed him in the Glenn Dale | rescue squad’s ambulance, which took him to Casualty Hospital, Washing- ton De Priest was found to have a brok- en right arm and head injuries. His condition this morning was called “undetermined.” | Because the wrecked car was squarely between the tracks, Chisholm | and Suman stopped approaching trains and, with the aid of the Glenn Dale fire truck, pulled it to the sta- | tion platform. MRS. Q. B. NEWMAN DIES| Wife of Retired Coast Guard Officer Once Lived Here. Mrs. Quincy B. Newman, wife of Capt. Newman, United States Coast Guard, retired, died Tuesday at their home in Gadsden, Ala. Mrs. Newman had lived here from 1919 to 1927, when Capt.

Johnson, will | be plodding along behind the plow to help his dad pay off the mortgage and save the farm. Leroy recently wrote to Maj. Gen. Upton Birnie, jr., chief of Field Artil- lery, to “see if you might have an old team of Artillery horses, that are too old to be of any use, that you could give away.” Gen. Birnie wrote to Leroy and ex- plained that under the Army regula- tion, all horses which had reached the age of uselessness must be sold, but that if it were left up to him he would gladly give Leroy and his brother Roger,, 11, a team with which to plow the old farm. But while Gen. Birnie's letter might seem rather discouraging, he began a silent campaign, so his fellow officers believe, to make it possible for the boys to help their dad. It was through this influence, it is claimed, that Reno, a favorite at the Chicago ‘World’s Fair, and Judge, soon will be delivered to Lercy and his brother on their farm, Yankton, S. Dak. The horses, how- ever, will go to the boys through the generosity of the Field Artillery per- sonnel and co-operation of the Field Artillery Association. The boys do not yet know they are to get their horses, for Gen. Birnie’s letter to Leroy said: “If I had it in my power I would be mighty happy to give you a pair! 13 miles northeast of | D. C, THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1935. of artillery horses from those that are too old for further service in the Army. “I believe, also if artillery horses could read letters and talk, all those that have grown too old for further duty in their country’s service would be asking for the privilege of working for you and Roger. They would be happy to serve you as faithfully as their age and strength permitted in return for the good home and the kindness I know you two would give them.” Then Gen. Birnie explained that regulation forbade the giving away of the horses. “Reno” and “Judge” will be de- livered to the hoys in time for the Spring plowing and present indica- tions are that a set of new harness also will go along with them. The horses were bought with a fund which cost the personnel of the Field Ar- tillery only 3 cents each. Since the Army officer and en- listed personnel are not ellowed to bid on such stock put up at auction, Col. Robert R. McCormack, an ar- tilleryman of World War days, bid them in as their representative.
