THOUSANDS AT BUTLER BOWL HEAR NRA 'ACE' Roosevelt ‘Brain Trust’ Speaker Summarizes Work to Date. A brisk young officer of th? NRA who wears instead of an eagle on his shoulder ' the Blue Eagle of the national recovery army In his coat lapel was in Indianapols Monday. A L RafTa of Washington, one cf the so-called 'brain trust” of th® Roosevelt administration, and regarded as an ' ace” speaker of the NRA, summarized th? work of the i NRA to date for the crowd of 35,000 at Butler bowl, celebrating. Indiana Recovery (lav Monday night. A graduate of Harvard, a former member of the faculty of Oeorgetown university, Rasla, a 28-year-old economist drafted by the administration, typifies the men with whom the President has surrounded himself He explains economic riddles in terms that a child <an understand His answers to questions dealing with policies or motives are direct. He asks newspaper men to withhold confidence, but resorts to no subterfuges. • tom pa red to Card Game At th" Claypool the young economist, seated in an armchair, discussed the Nw Deal Dark-haired and bespectacled, he showed the strain of a two weeks’ speaking tour to all sections of the country as chief co-ordinator of th" NRA "The new deal,” he ruminated. ir. answer to a question, "let me give you an analogy. LH us consider the new deal as a card game. In the game are four players, namely, the government, the employer, the worker and the public as a whole.’ The government is the dealer. The trump card, the Blue Eagle, is dealt to the 'public as a whole.' There th® analogy stops, because it's the sort of card game where every one must play together.” Cites Recovery Purpose Like anew Messiah, the young economist searched for more parables. Denying use of the term “applied Socialism,” to the New Deal, RafTa said: “The national industrial recovery' act is oade up of three main points. “Fir.-t; the substitution of a cooperative economic system for unfettered. cut-throat individualism in business. It aims to set up industrial democracy in keeping with the Democratic traditions. Tests Human Nature "Second, the NRA aims to bring order out of chaos and substitute a co-operative form for the anarchy existing in business relationships, to produce material well-being which the resources of the nation can provide. 'Third, the plan will demonstrate the possibility of a tremendous adventure in human nature, as the era marks the first time that social control has been tried in the history of the world without the element, of dictatorship.” On the question of enforcement, RafTa said that the general feeling in Washington now is that employers who fail to live up to the terms of the President’s covenant will be deprived of the Blue Eagle, although the method of enforcement still is incomplete. Old Song Abandoned "It is the policy of this administration to abandon the old song of •prosperity is right around the corand to maintain a policy of absolute frankness with the people. It things are not going well, the administration will be the first to announce it; if things are good, we will spread the glad tidings "In this connection. I must say that success of the NRA has surpassed even the fondest dreams of the administration to date.” RafTa s dark face grew serious. His voice took on an apocryphal note. "It's got to succeed,” he said earnestly, “there's just no alternative.” DR. T. 8. DAVID. NEGRO. IS BELIEVED SUICIDE Death Apparently Follow* Domestic Quarrel, Says Coroner.

BLAMES LAHD BANK FOB LOSS OF FARM HOME Loan Application Delayed, City Man Forced to Release Property. Tragic tale of the loss of his farm home, representing his life savings, because, he alleges, officials of the Farm Land bank of Louisville delayed his attempts to obtain a loan, was related today by Alfred Brickham. 79, former Indianapolis resident. Brickham. who now is living with a son ac 1636 Le Grande avenue, resided for thirty years at 874 North Gladstone avenue, and for several years was an employe of the E. C. Atkins Company Two years ago he moved to a sixty-acre farm near Courtland. Ind. A mortgage of $598 threatened

the property and six-room home, and in May. he said, he applied to the land bank for a loan of SBOO to pay his debts. Brickham charges the bank did not talte immediate action and that he was referred to other agencies. He says he spent money on application fees for the loan and it was not until a few days before the mortgage was to be foreclosed that appraisers for loan organizations visited the property. Rather than surrender the property to the mortgage holders, Brickham, Aug. 12. twenty-four hours before the foreclosure, managed to sell the property for S7OO cash, ha said. Os this amount $598 went to meet the mortgage and. Brickham said, only $22 remained after he had paid other debts and ' loan application fees.
