MOVE TO TAKE INDUSTRY INTO RURAL REGIONS Decentralization Seen for Factories. Workers to Have Garden Grounds. BV RAYMOND ( I.APPLR I nilfd M/fT C ftriMpondnil WASHINGTON. Aug. 5 Although obscured by spectacular recovery activities, the administration is planning a development which mar affect the average man long after the blue eagle of NRA has flown away this is the movement to decentralize industry and create men's garden communities. The national recovery act set aside $25,000000 for loans for this purpose Interior Secretary Harold Ickes has held preliminary conferences, and now is considering what sort of an administrative organization he shall set up. The plan has several objectives. One is to get farmers off bad land and on to gf>od soil that is capable of yielding a living. Another is to get workingmen out of the cities into suburban areas. A third is to spread out industries, get them away from congested metropolitan areas, and out in the open air where employers may live on their own plot of ground. Some industries, such as coal mining, can not support all of their skilled workers, even operating at peak capacity, and tins plan would help them locate on farms. It would enable villages now going to seed to establish small parttime industries so that young men instead of drifting to the cities to get work could divide their time between the village factories in winter and the fields in summer. It sounds very idyllic, but some good hard heads think there is opportunity to give a real chance to millions of families to live a more rounded and secure life. BOY. 6.
