ROOSEV ELT IS URGED TO USE GREATER POWER (CONTINUED PROM PADS) ONE) applied at once would be a purely voluntary one. It might bo done with a few baste industries more quickly, with a few days of simultaneous hearings for each. At the present rate, millions lannot be put to work within a few weeks as hud been planned. Speed-up measures are likely but their nature Is uncertain. Although the administration has tr-memdous powers it is finding that they are much like credit — they will not stand up If overworked. General Johnson's Impulse tells him to strike aut and make an example of some of the i obstructionists. His judgment j teils him to nurse them a while longer. It Is a gamble. On one side is the advantage of winning the cooperation of industry. On the j other is the danger from rapid | rise nf prices, the heavy over- j stocking of goods all out of reach ' of the consumer whose wages, if 1 indeed he has got his job bar*, have not begun to rise, a sltua-! tion which General Johnson fears j will end in another collapse if , not corrected promptly. The warning of Donald R. Rich-1 berg, general counsel for N. I. R- j A., more pointed now than when be first issued it, draws the issue ! thus: “If the privately elected | beards of directors and the privately chosen managers of industry! undertake their task and fulfill j

their responsibility, they will end all talk of dictatorships and government control of business. But If they bold back and waste (heir precious houses, If they take counsel with prejudice and doubt, If they fumble their great opporlunity, they may suddenly find that it has gone forever."
