NRA OVERHEAD KEPT LOW BY ECONOMY HERE Ban Put on Telegraph and Phone Tolls Except in Emergency. Economy is the watchword of both national and local NRA offices. Commenting on a dispatch from Washington' today stating that, the National Recovery administration had prepared to establish a special division to watch the telegraph and telephone toll and paper and ink situation, Francis Wells, Indiana recovery director, pointed out similar economies in the Indianapolis NRA office. “I have issue’d instructions that no one is to use the telephone here for long distance calls except Frank Kurka. assistant United States department of commerce representative. and myself,” Wells declared. Calls Kept at Minimum “Since the start of the NRA campaign in Indiana we only have called Washington five times and then on very urgent matters. “Our biggest expense is for letterheads and envelopes. This office mails about 150 letters a day in answer 'to queries regarding Tories, interpretations, and other questions in connection with the NRA program. In Washington, Lieutenant Commander C. W. Stephenson, who saved the navy millions of dollars after the World war through astute buying, hqs been appointed by General Hugh S. Johnson, national recovery administrator, to reduce expenses. Must Save on Tolls Stephenson found that letterwriting in national NRA headquarters had become a lost art, according to the United Press, and that NRA workers Were using the longdistance telephones Instead of stamps. General order No. 1 followed this

discovery, which prohibits NRA workers from using the telegraph or telephone in any case where cheaper communication will meet the situation. Turning to the paper and ink situation. Stephenson found that 7,000 copies made of the fifteen statements issued each day were costing the government S6OO a day. He issued an order limiting the releases to 2.000 copies a day.
