into u common meeting ground. While this maneuver was held responsible so realising some of the resolutions to be of a flexible anti Indefinite nature, the attitude lof the majority-at the conference was that it would be better to refrain from specific commitments I that might endanger ’ho program. This wus particularly true of debate over the resolution regarding the national recovery act. As finally evolved, the proposal advocated extension of the act for another ) year as an emergency measure, witli modifications designed gen-

erally to put codification of IndusI try on a voluntary basis. f After a sub-committee had de- . bated the question for two days its a members still were far from agreement. Some of them openly denounced the NRA and asked that it be condemned in strong language. Young, poised, deliberative and convincing, steered the com- ■ mitteo into agreement on a state- ; meat of policy that avoided the controversial issues. While results of the White Sul- ■ phur Springs conference showisl J Industry had no intention of cap!i tulatlng on some of its orthodox fl views, the program finally adopted contained little of the truculence I I that some of the conferees would I I like to have included.

If donors can j II imagine the gleam and sparkle in I the eyes of 127 children on Christ- ' mas eve when they are given a few 11 toys, a little clothing and perhaps I'some candy and table luxuries, i they can feel rewarded. | .Many of the children rightly know that the Goodfellows club’s ' Santa Claus is the only one who, i will visit them this year. The I majority of them are confident that , he will not fail them. < Today only $212.81 has been do-;i Inated to the club. Divided among j I 127 children this will leave a little ■ more than a dollar and a half a i child. The name of every child on the ( list has been recommended by the;' , regular relief organizations and personally investigated by mem-, ( bers of the Delta Theta Tan sor-I ] I ority.

tlonal guard escort of 100, which brought Harris here from Nashville where he had been held since his arrest, went into action. Thereafter events followed rapidly. The mob rushed the courthouse four separate times. Each time tear gas bombs and bursts of machine gun and rifle fire, mostly directed over its head, drove it back. But several times, soldiers und rioters locked lu hand to hand fighting.

Harris was put Into a national guard uniform. His hande were ; gloved and a gas musk put over I his face. In this way he was | spirited from the building nnd j taken to Nashville. The national guardsmen retreat- . ed to their camp outside the town ; to avoid further bloodshed. Eni raged, the mob burned four guard I trucks. Sheriff Gant tried to j make a calming speech. He was ■ stoned. Soon after dusk, mob ; leaders broke into hie office in the courthouse, saturated it with gasoline. and applied a torch.

"And that," said LaGuardia, "is only the angostura in the cocktail.” In reply to a question as to how much the public power system would involve, the mayor said it i all depends on which one of two; courses the city follows. "If they (the private utilities) behave,” he said, "like lawabiding' citizens, we will follow one plan. Otherwise .” The "otherwise," he Indicated,] migjjt mean the city would go into; the power business by selling elec-! treiity directly to consumers. The | tinal cost of the plant, estimated;

up lo 1107.000,000 would depend upon which course Is followed, he I said. The proposed plan, White House observers believed, would have two objectives. It would result In a t 4o per cent saving in the annual ele,.-.' trie bill of the municipal and feder-i a) buildings, and would serve as a yardstick for measuring fair util Ity rates. If the New York loan Is made It was believed probable other cities will follow in making application for loans to buy or build electric' plants to operate in competition with privately owned companies, ut least to the extent of supplying power and electricity to municipal, state und federal buildings.
