Washington. — The NRA Review
board's report to President Roosevelt,
in which it was outReport spoken in its criticism of many NRA Hits NRA
principles, has cre
2ced more of a furore in Washington
than anything since the administration
canceled the airmail contracts without granting the contractors a hearing.
In fact, I gather from all indications
that the board's attucks were directly
responsible for General Johnson's ac‘ tion in’ releasing smal) businesses of
certain kinuds from. responsibility under the codes. _The far-renching conSequences of the board's criticisms can
only be partially evaluated at this
time, but the celerity of the Johnson:
“action in meeting séme of the eharges
by the board has led to more.than a
sprinkling of suggestions that it may
be the beginning of the end for NRA.
General Johnson explained, .in_ releasing the minor industries from the
codes, that they constituted too small
a part of the recovery program to warrant the expense ard time involved
in administering those’ codes. of
course, he could not very well admit
that NRA was a failure insofar as the
“little fellows” are concerned, but
nevertheless there are plenty of observers. in Washington who so construed his statement. The interesting
thing about it was that his announcement was made public after the
board’s report had been sent to President Roosevelt and after the President
had submitted the document to NRA
for an analysis of the criticisms:
The board was convinced after hearing appeals for relief by a comparatively small number of individual businesses that some of the codes were having the opposite of the effect intended.
Evidence which it gathered seemed to
-show that the “‘little fellows” in the
business world.were being stifled by
the larger units, and that was the
very thing which President Roosevelt
had hoped NRA would preyent.
It is to be remembered that: the re
view board never was wanted by General Johnson and the NRA supporters.
The board was the brain-child of several senators and representatives who
had received so many complaints from
the “little fellows” that they felt the
urge to demand some means of review
of NRA policies and codes. Its origin
might be assumed to have caused the
board, headed by Clarence Darrow of
Chicago, to feel its mission was one
of protection for the little fellow. Having watched it operate as a hearing
body, I think I can say its members
tried to maintain an open mind. On
one occasion, I recall, the board did
not mince words in telling the repre
sentative of a small business that he
could expect no help from it until his
own linen had been washed of chisel_ing and sharp practice.
Thus, the board catapulted a handful of red hot coals into the political
@rena. Mr. Roosevelt dodged the first
bombshell by sending the’ report to Attorney General Cummings, to the Federal Trade commission and to General Johnson for what he called “an
analysis.” Newspaper correspondents
thought they could analyze the thing,
but they. did not get the opportunity.
Their discussion these days gives rise
to the thought that they will be sitting
around awaiting a chance to “analyze”
it to the full extent of their powers
when they.do get hold of it.
Political leaders among those opposed to NRA appear to be delighted
with the sudden turn of events. Any
official criticism of NRA, they declare,
will give them license to voice their
own views as well as to repeat what
the official agency had to say about
that phase of the administration’s program.
s sf 2
As a result of the fresh. outburst of
trouble for. NRA, I made a number
ef inquiries around
Business NRA headquarters
Confused which are continueusly crowded with
representatives of businesses who are
seeking to find out what to do. Theseindividuals, to a man, were thoroughly
‘confounded and confused. They were,
in many instances, unable to determine what to do as to many business
practices; they could not get complete
instructions or interpretations, nor
were they able to learn the NRA attitude in an advisory way on proposttions on which they desired rulings.
Having observed the job that General
Johnson and his NRA staff is trying
to do, . can understand why these
various questions can not be answered.
They simply have so much work to do
that it is almost a physical impossibility to get it done. But to me, that
fact tells the story of the weakness
inherent in any attempt to codify practices of businesses, friational in scope,
froma Washington bureau.
As an exposition of the problem in
another way, f learned that one great
Corporation is ‘operating under 51
There is one department store
here in the city of Washington that is
‘operating under and responsible to
11 code authorities. -Qne corporation,
relatively small im size and doing a
selling business im nvt more than five
eastern states, has had to sign a total
of 14 codes. All of this is because of
the diversification of the business.
As far as I can see, if every type of
industry must have a code, there is nd
more than one line fs going to be under code for each line touched:and it
will have to’ be so if.codes are to be
@ part of our economic structure. Yet,
as the review board's report indicates,
there is a certain hardship developed
by such a system that is \rather difficult to defend.
My inquiries, however, brought out
another fact that to my mind is highly
imiportant and about which little has
been written. That is the expense
which these businesses must bear in
connection with the codes and. attempts to find out what fs expected of
the firms whe_have heen given the blue
eagle of NRA membership.
There is not a day goes by that NRA
officials do not receive flocks of business men who come from far and near
for interviews, for conferences on proposed codes, for interpretation of
codes already written, for talks with
the authorities as to whether exceptions can be made to the universal
rules laid down in the codes, and for
the answers to a_ thousand-and-one
other questions, The expense of those
trips to Washington, the hotel bills,
the time away from their jobs, all of
these things have to be borne by the
individuals, businesses or corporations
interested.
But those expenses appear small
when arrayed alongside the code assessments that are levied on the individual businesses which must pay
the cost of code authorities governing their particular lines.
is more than one code applicable to a
firm, that firm pays assessments to
code authorities for every line that is
covered in their operation. And be-lieve me, it runs into money!

The resignation of Everett Sanders
of Indiana, as chairman, and the impending meeting in
Sanders’ Chicago of the ReResignation publican national
committee has
served to focus a spotlight on that
political agency which it has not
drawn since the days of the 1982 campaign. As a matter of fact, the Sanders resignation has stirred up more
discussion and has caused more Republicans to show their faces than
some folks thought were still alive. It
has demonstrated that there is life in
the G. O. P. yet. But the job ahead
of it is one of finding how the latest
strength can be utilized under a solid
leadership, and that means the first
task is to find that leader for national
chairman.
Thus far, it can be said there is an
entire lack of unanimity among the
Republican national committee. They
appear not to have any idea as 'to the
identity of the man who should be
elected to head the party organization.
Undoubtedly, the weakness of the
Republican position at this ‘time is
lack of leadership. A real leader, as
far as I hear discussion of: the subject, simply does not yet appear on
the horizon, If it were not for the
various crosscurrents, it would be natural to expect that the several factions could get together and operate
harmoniously. ‘ That, sad to relate, apparently is impossible, The “old
guard” doesn’t relish the idea of surrendering power.
Much criticism has been heard of
the Republican leadership in congress
during this session. It has been said
the leadership has been spineless, and
of the do-nothing kind. But the consensus around Washington would seem
to be that Senator McNary of Oregon,
in the senate, and_ Representative
Snell of New York, in the house, have
been impotent largely because the
Democratic majority was so huge that
they could-never really voice the minority position.
es e¢¢
I have heard some of the Democrats
assert that the Republican party can
never come back;
Prediction that it is through.
Foolish Nowhere does_history justify such a
prediction. It Is necessary only to go
back to the-campaign when Warren a
Harding was elected to the Presidency, or to the overwhelming defeat
of Alfred E. Smith by Herbert Hoover.
In each case, some of the Republican
leaders were so short sighted as to say
that the Democrats were through.
Time has proved such prognostications
to be utterly foolish. It likely will
make the present unwise predictions
of Democrats look the same way in
the course of 4 few years. It seems
to me to be unwise at any time to consign a political party to a grave unless there is no more blood left in the
carcass. ;
From what I can hear about the
Republican committee's financial condition, the plight of the. Democrats a
few years ago can be regarded as only
slightly seridus. Neither the national
committee nor the combined senatorial
and congressional committee can make
any plans for a fight because it takes
money to make'the mare go,
Whatever the results are of the coming election, however, it is apparent
mow that Republican leadership first
must be established. The Democrats
. have that leadership in Mr. Roosevelt,
but they have to accept responsibility
aiso sothat they can expect -to be
attacked. Just as happened during
the Hoover regime, the “outs” can
make the fur fly for the “ing” if they
develop leadership. : :

yo it comes to exciting events
in the fashion realm the scene
centers around fabric gloves and the
Inatching accessories which go with
them. ‘The new gloves reveal style
potentialities such as the rank and file
of us never dreamed could exist in connection with what once upon a time
we were wont to regard as mere hand
coverings, with perhaps a little variation in design and stitching and color
now and then.
However, here on the stage of
fashion this very moment speaking for
themselves Is an endless array of
gloves made of every material known
to the ingenuity of man and revealing
a wealth of ideas which are simply
breathtaking in point of originality
and audacious styling.
The importance of cotton for frocks
and gowns, for smart ensembles and
for sults started the furor by © creating a need for gloves to co-ordinate
in fabric and feeling with the new costume for daytime wear. This movement toward unique fabric gloves received additional impetus from the
great French couturiers. With utmost
enthusiasm Chanel and Talbot, those
two foremost originators of sportswear
vogues, sponsor fabric gloves with
matched accessories for spring and
sumfner. So sound and altogether intriguing is the idea, it is spreading like
wildfire throughout fashion’s domain.
The interpretations of this new mode
for matching accessories are legion.
Just a glimpse of the new gloves of
linen with gingham printed linen cuffs
together with a tatlored flower of the
printed linen to wear on coat lapel or
at the shoulder of a sports frock Cillus—
trated to the right) and your peace of
mind will be destroyed until you become the happy possessor of just such
or its equivalent.
Perhaps you will covet even more
a white scarf collar of open basketweave cotton, crossbarred in blue at
ends and edges with
white gauntlet gloves of
crinkied cotton crepe with
deep pointed cuffs of matching basket weave, such as the
figure seated in the picture is
wearing.
Cnhamoisette, that practical standby,
is glorified anew this season in gloves
that feature pin-checked gingham cuffs
limed with plain gingham, with matching reversible collar-scarf in the
monotone and checked fabric. It appears also in gloves with cuffs and
matching tailored bow for shoulder or
meckKline made of gayly printed cotton.
A most attractive accessory set of
crocheted string features gloves and
scarf of white, with the flared ends
of the scarf and the flare cuffs of the
fZloves in three graduated shades of
bive.
Eut do not think that your new fabric gloves simply must have matched
accessories to be smart. There are so
many materials and.so many styles in
Zlove fashions in general, it is impossible to do more than enumerate the
im pocttant trends. Watch for the very
sheer milanese chiffons when the hot
weather comes. They are in dark
shades as well as white and are the
cootest ever as well as wonderfully
Zood looking.
Btany of the new gloves ina variety
of fabrics reflect the tailored vogue.
Note the group pictured in the inset.
Betow to the left is a glove of dull
luster diagonal oatmeal-type fabric in
@ slip-on style; above it, a washable
chamoisette open cuff gauntlet with
Simart wood button at the wrist; next

with two tiny pear) buttons at the
wrist and with scalloped edge; in the
center, another chamoisette glove with
movelty stitching trim in leaf design
around the cutout edge of the open
e]cufrF (Cvery smart in navy). Above to
the right short slip-ons in fine honey©eomb knit with rib-knit. frill edging;
below, gloves featuring a pleated selffabric frill and diagonal stitching; and
comcluding the group a most outstandims type—crochet string slip-ons with
lacy cuffs which look as if hand crocheted. ;

GREEK AND ROMAN
TREND IN SANDALS
The shoe designers, who are taking
themselves as seriously these days as
the old masters immortalized in the
Metropolitan museum, have delved into the ancient history of many nations
to produce the array of sandals and
ghillies, bejeweled dance slippers and
tailored pumps that confront the modern woman whose grandmother used
to be contented with one good serviceable pair of shoes a year.
The up-and-coming deb this season
will wear sandals modeled after those
worn by Helen of Troy, or beach slippers such as once adorned the pinktipped toes of Cleopatra.
Authentically Greek and Roman in
their inspiration are the new sandals
worn not only for beach wear, but to
complement any kind of summer
sports costume, They’re simple affairs
made only of a couple of straps and a
sole, leaving the toes altogether untrammeled.
The footgear of a monk in Capri
provided the inspiration for the monk
sandal which promises to be the rage
of the summer resorts.
“In the Money” Silks for
Spring Latest in Paris
The newest things in printed ‘silks
for spring are called “In the Money”
prints. They represent the gold-stlver
inflation and. noninflation arguments,
but without taking sides.
They are made in a series of eight
patterns of five colors each—40 @ifrferent colorsin all. Those of us who
have, had glimpses -of *them “agreed
that they were the last word in the
New Deal for dining out, tea dances,
country clubs, and even the “Tag Ena”
dresses for those occasions when anybody might wear anything and yet no
body seems exactly sure of what will
