srrormmntig e6des, Te hh National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart a a s caieimmmian — 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! s e * 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. : : t touches = © by Western Newspaper Union. When there . }. By CHERIE NICHOLAS & 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 (top to the left) a sansheen slip-on 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. ; @ by Western Newspaper Union. the 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.
