SLASHING OF RED TAPE TO ' SPEED RECOVERY FEATURES WHIRLWIND NRA CAMPAIGN Striking Contrast to Slow Movement Under Bureaucratic Governmental Agencies; Response Exceeds War-Time Mobilizing. BY RUTH FINNEY Time* Speriil Writer WASHINGTON. Aug 14—Eight whirlwind weeks have developed the national recovery admit istratlon from a skeleton whose eventful form was unpredfbtabie into a fast-moving large organization of a sort this country never has seen before. Through a government agency. Its contrast with government bureaucracy is its most striking characteristic. Originally conceived as a partnership between industry and the government, it is more and more rapidly taking shape as a joint enterprise between industry and labor, with the government functioning as liaison agent and umpire.

Out of the chaos in which the enterprise seemed at first to be operating, the outline of new and efficient machinery for industrial self-government is emerging. Hurled Into Action When the recovery act was signed June 16 the idea of the blanket code—a quick, countrywide drive to restore purchasing power—had not been conceived. The speed with which the administration perceived that such an effort was necessary, planned the huge organization now functioning, and hurled it into action, entirely 'x unique ir. the history of the American government. Not even in time of war has this country seen such immediate and effective response to necessity. This demonstration of ability to act when the occasion presents itself. without hampering red tape, may prove one of the most important revitalizing achievements of the NRA. Swing Toward Unionizing Eight weeks ago when the act became law, labor groped about, uncertain as to the extent of the opportunity before it, and the course to be followed in pursuit of that opportunity. Today there is under way a concerted swing toward unionization that is unprecedented In the past six weeks the American Federation of has issued 155 new charters, more than twice the number issued in the whole year 1929 These new charters cover hundreds of thousands of workers into the organized movement. In addition, thousands of men and women are being enrolled in existing unions, and in organizations not a part of the A. F of L. Thus swing' toward unionization has been pushed forward within the past week by comparison of a code negotiated in a unionized industrycoat and suit—with codes being negotiated for industries where there is no strong labor movement. Prevent Industrial Strife Union coat and suit workers, who bargiined with their employers before the code for that industry was submitted to Washington, have won far more favorable conditions than most of the other groups of workers. The administration, also groping at first in regard to its attitude on unionization, now definitely is taking the position that the recovery act, in itself, does not impose collective bargaining on the country, that labor must organize itself if it is to be organized, but that industry can not nave any of the new rights of organization possible for it under the recovery act unless it gives labor the same rights. In the meantime, while employers are reaching agreements among themselves and workers are joining together, the NRA has acted to prevent industrial strife by organizing its national labor board to mediate strikes.

Protecting the Public The administration was not clear at first, either, as to what part it should pay in protecting the consumer from monopoly, once a combination had been effected under a code of fair competition. NR A had its eye primarily on increasing employment and raising wages, w’hile trade groups devoted most of their attention in submitting cedes to trade practices, production and price control. Now a plan has been worked out by which each Industry's self-gov-erning board will contain three NR A representatives, not voting, because the administration wishes industry to actually govern itself, but retaining a veto power over any practice they feel is monopolistic or harmful to the public interest This new policy is the answer of the administration to those who feared the result of relaxing antitrust laws In the new system of industrial CREMATED IN REFUGE Storm Drives State Man Into Barn: Suffers Fatal Bums.

self-government which the recovery administration hopes will prove worthy u> continue after the emergency act has run its two-year course, the government will have two important functions that already mentioned in regard to trade practices. and a second regarding labor. Its plans call for establishment of a national industrial relations board in each industry, one member nominated by labor, another by industry, and a third by the government to act as a supreme court in settling all labor disputes within that industry. State boards and factory boards will operate beneath it. While the national labor board may prove a temporary- stop-gap agency to iron-out difficulties during the original period of organization and change, this other structure Is intended to be a permanent one for maintaining the industrial peace.

‘NEW DEAL’ CALLED ‘JUST OLD STEAL’ Roosevelt Is Assailed by People’s Lobby Speaker. Policies of President Roosevelt in carrying out the “new deal'' were attacked today bv Benjamin C. Marsh, executive secretary of the People's Lobby, Washington, speaking at the Y. W. C. A. The address was under auspices of the Joint Committee on Unemployment. “President Roosevelt, under the slogan of the ‘new deal,’ is conItinuing the disastrous policies of Herbert Hoover." Marsh said. "The new deal is just the old steal, all dressed up in hypocrisy. Deserving Democrats, on the inside, have made hundreds of millions of dollars out of the bull stock market, and that market showed the futility of the Roosevelt recovery program. “If every one owned land, natural resources and bonds, equally, his program might help, but as 4 per cent of the people own nearly fourfifths of the national wealth, it was bound to fail. “America must end special privilege within the next few years or our society collapses. The President’s ballyhoo program of publicity can't hide the fact that he is, as he always has been, an agent of the predatory powers.” MOWER JLIPS RNGER Girl. 8.

Madcap Colleen Moore Gone; She’s Staid and Serene Today

Flapper In Movies of Long Ago Is Glad to Be Back in Films. BY EVELYN SEELEY limn Special Writer NEW YORK. Aug. 14 —That madcap. Colleen Moore, with the shiny black bangs and the rolling Irish eyes, is gone. She never really was, according to the quiet, radiantly serene young woman who calls herself Colleen More today. “This," she sa-d. indicating the slim person in the black gown and demure white collar, "really is me. The flapper just was that girl I did for the movies.” Miss Moore was so natural for a movie star it was startling. Perhaps it is because she has been out of the pictures since 1929, among the dogs and birds and flowers and vegetables of her Beverly Hills "farm.” She just had kissed her husband. A1 Scott, good-by and sent him to his office. Fun Wasn't Enough. She wore her simplest frocks, her vivid face was without makpup, her black hair she had shampooed herself. She did not even have a conversational •line.” concocted for public consumption. “I quit the movies and hid myself a time,” said she. "But having fun wasn't enough. "First I went to a lot of parties, and that was delightful for a while —knowing you could stay out as long as you felt like it and wouldn’t have to get up and go out on the lot the next morning. ‘‘Then I went to art school. I took up sculpture because I thought that would be good and hard. But I wasn't so good. Then I went back to my music—l practiced four hours a day for a while. Then I got itching feet and did a lot of traveling. “And then I looked at myself and said, •Girl, you've got to go back to work, that's what.’ So I did. First I played in a perfectly awful play, I was terrible, I won't even mention it. Then I did a good one. A Church Mouse,’ for Henry Duffy in Los Angeles. That was fun. Had to Have Work “And now I'm back in the movies, and I am glad. Although I think it’s terribly hard work, much harder than the stage, where you can sense the immediate reaction of the audience and guide yourself accordingly.” “Would you like to see a fish I caught off the coast of Mexico?" she asked* eagerly, and turned to a kodak-book. Here was the big 60-pound yellowtail. Here also were the pet landmarks of her life in Beverly Hills. “I am just an old farmer,” said she. “Look!” This was Graf, the Great Dane, and his friend Sadie Thompson, the tiny mutt, and the four pups that looked like Danes with their great flopping ears but with the whimsical faces of wire-haired terriers. And over here on the next page was the tiny humming-bird that lives in a rose bush. . . . Here were the canaries they raise. . . . Here the master creations of rare flower gardens, and here the tomatoes and corn and cabbages of which she is most proud. ‘But wait,” she said, “till you see the swordfish I'm going to catch next week!”

After final approval by city and county councils, budgets will be submitted to the board for approval, after which the state tax board places final mdorsement on the levies.
