The extent of county road use and the number of motor vehicles registrations would determine the allotments under the new distribu tion plan considered by the com- 1 mission. , Undor the present distribution law, counties, cities and towns red iceive half the collections from the state gasoline tax. the automobile! license fees, and the weight tax. The present method provides; that one-eighth of the county dis-' tributlon be made on the basis of! population and seven-eights on thej basis of county road mileage; fori the attribution to cities and towns, the basis is population. Under the proposed method 1 cities and towns would receive a stabilized total of 12,000.000 as compared to 12,222,397 they received during the last fiscal year. The distribution would be based, on motor vehicle registrations in | each city and town.

The. state highway commission would receive all receipts over the f 1.000.000 distribution to local units. Much of this amount would be consumed by maintenance and construction of state highways within cities aifd towns, according to Earl Crawford, chairman of the survey commission. i ounties would receive approximately 31,500,000 less than they received under the distribution of the present system during the last fiscal year, Crawford said.

SUBSTITUTE TO NRA OFFERED Donald Richherg Proposes NRA Substitute Program [ (Copyright 193 U by United Press) Washington, lw. 3 — (U.R) Former NRA Administrator Donald R. Richberg today prepared a , far-reax hing NRA substitute program built upon legislation modi eruizing agid socializing ahtil-truat ' laws. Under the plan poor labor conditions would constitute an unfair competitive practice and would inI elude the question of hours and wages, Richberg said in an inter- : view. Geu. Hugh Johnson's successor as ' Blue Eagle” chief offered his program as: (1) Scores of ‘ little NRA” bills were being drafted for submission in the next congress; 1(2) Sen. William E. Borah, R., Idaho, joined a drive for action on a federal incorporation bill increasing government control over i industries in inter-state commerce; and (3) Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper announced that a special committee will report Dec. 31 on its study of the effect of NRA. Richberg viewed the incorporation proposal as ‘‘unwieldly.” He warned that ‘disorganization in business" might result from fears of new ' little NRA’s” for specific industries. “We ought to stop the folly of piecemeal legislation and restate 1 our anti-trust laws,” Richberg said ‘‘they should be re-stated and j clearly defining both monopolistic and unfair competitive practices.” “We have broadened our umlerStanding of unfair practices to in--1 chide bad labor couditione. 1 ; think that disregard of real minimum wages and maximum hours can be defined as unfair practices.” Under Richberg’s plan administrative machinery would be reorganized to enforce “modernized” anti-trust laws. Slight restrictionwould be nlaced on powers of the courts in connection with administrative regulatory decisions. “This plan would require an administrative agency,” Richberg explained. “To which trade or industrial groups could submit their fair trade practice agreements, if they were regarded in the public interest they could be given temporary sanction.” Richberg proposed complete i separation of collective bargaining from the new set-up because |“it should be entirely apart from business law—and this proposal is | for a, law of business cooperation." DR. TOWNSEND I to SI,OOO or imprisonment of one month to a, year, or both, on each count of the indictment. Townsend, Wunder and Kiefer probably will be arraigned before a U. S. commissioner next week, | at which date will >be set for trial ; before District of Columbia feder- ! al court. i The indictment named two counts against Townsend and Wunder and one against Kiefer. Townsend was charged with walking out of the committee hearing and with refusal to testify. The two counts against Wunder charged failure to answer two subpoenas, one directing him to appear on May 26 and another to appear May 27. Kiefer was charged with failure to answer one subpoena, calling for appearance May 22. The elderly, grey-haired Town- | send walked out of a, house old age pensions investigating committee hearing late in the last session of congress, and refused to submit bo further questioning. At his advice, subordinates in OARP also challenged the power of the committee and refused to answer (subpoenas. Townsend charged that the inj vestigation, sponsored jointly by the Republican and Democratic house leadership, was not designed to elicit facts concerning his organization, but for the purpose of discrediting and humiliating him before the electorate. — fog, slippery PA9.

In discussing plans for the couu|cil meeting of labor, industrial and government leaders here Dec. 10 and 11. Berry pleaded for cooperative discussion between the three groups on national problems. A similar meeting a year ago was disrupted when a large group of business men staged a demonstiation. heckled Berry and boycotted proceedings. Berry said he was coufldent there would be no re-

{petition of that this year. Although several business associations have declined to send representatives, spokesmen for 2,000,Oou Individual establishments have accepted invitations to attend the .conference. Berry suld. Automobile, steel, chemical and textile in- ' dustriea are among those declining to attend. Berry made public a letter from the Automobile Manufacturers Association declining an invitation to send representatives. The letter pointed to the “considerable Improvement" In employment and wages in the industry and added: "It is the unanimous view of the industry that the plans on which iit is embarked should be permitted to work themselves out and that new legislation may well result in interrupting the present upward trend of business in the industry which has proved the surest source of increased wages and employment and superior working ' ■ conditions.” . o Fort Wayne Woman Commits Suicide i Fort Wayne.

She was found unconscious by her husband, : and taken to the Lutheran hospital ‘ where she was revived. 0 . . Unwieldy “Currency” In ancient Cyprus, copper pota were used for money. 0 BRITISH PUBLIC ; (CONTINUED FROM PAGE OWE) heard Prime Minister Baldwin ad,lllll that the matter is so grave ■ that it should not be discussed in ■ commons for the present. A profound stir was caused when Winston Churchill asked the premier for assurance that no “irrevoc[able step” will be taken before a formal statement is made to parliament for its decision. ; Members gasped, realizing that • Churchill meant the question of abdication. Baldwin dodged the question, saying he had “nothing to add. Baldwin declared that no con- ; stitutional difficulty existed "at ‘ present," which left the implica- • tion that one might arise. The delicate subject was brought up by Maj. Clement R. Attlee, la- ■ bor leader, who wanted to know if constitutional difficulties did exist. "I have no statement to make today,” Baldwin said, "but while at the present there does not exist ; any constitutional difficulty, the situation is of such a nature as to make it inexpedient that I should 1 be questioned about it at present. Cheers greeted a second question by Attlee as to whether, in ‘ view of the anxiety in the minds ■ of many people, Baldwin would 1 make a statement as soon as poss- ’ ible. The premier indicated that he would. ’ Baldwin spoke in a strained 1 voice. The house was not entirely full, but all members of the ' \ cabinet were present. Only one ‘ foreign representative was present in the diplomatic gallery. It is ’ customary for diplomats to be present only when foreign affairs are discussed. Baldwin then indicated that lie thought the subject should be dropped and that he desires parliament to continue business as usual, announcing next week’s program ' of ordinary bills. 1 ; While the historic session of the house was in progress, a sullen, angry and defiant monarch motor--1 ed to his country home at Fort Belvedere to consider a reported 1 ultimatum from Baldwin that he has until 7 p. m. tomorrow to make his decision. The ultimatum was believed to { be that he must drop Mrs. Simpson entirely. However, reports still : were circulated that a compromise was possible. One suggestion was { that the king might marry her privately as the Duke of Cornwall, ', making her Duchess of Cornwall ibut not queen. Before returning to Belvedere, where he has been spending much of his time and where Mrs. Simp,l son has so often been a guest, the king had luncheon with Queen Mary, his mother, at Marlborough I house. , t The queen was reported to be grief-stricken over her son's attitulle and his predicament. At Marlborough house, the king also I met his brother, the Zitke of Tork. .{and the Duchess of York. The uekd is next in line of succession • ■and his daughter, "Princess ElizaI beth, comes after him. t The royal family obviously was) ■ in a state of mind and was cancellt Ing public engagements. The Duke of York cancelled his attendance i at the London hospital dinner at ( Claridge's tonight. Meanwhile, the British pl.blic I was ablaze with excited discussion. > For mouths, the people have been ■ kept completely in the dark by a

rigid, self imposed press censorship. This morning, the dam burst and | the general public read for the first time about Mrs. Simpson. The reaction was distinctly utifavor-l able. The people showed that they cherish the prestige of the throne' too much to approve of such a marriage. In the lobby of the house of commons, Baldwin's announcement was regarded merely as a “stay of execution” while secret parleys
