INDUSTRIALIST ANALYZES AND APPROVES NRA Manufacturers’ President Says Administration Vindicated. By 1 nit* 4 prettg PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 21-The president of the National Association of Manufacturers analyzed the President's NRA program here today and found it good. Robert L. Lund, a member of the NRA industrial advisory board and head of one of the most powerful business organizations in the county, approved every act of the administration in its attempt to end the depression. His only criticism concerned the labor unions, which he said were trying to use the NRA as a springboard to increase their memberships. "In framing the national industry recovery act the national administration and congress have vindicated the policies ana philosophy of American industry," Mr. Lund said in an address before the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. "The new securities act imposes severe restrictions upon institutions which issue stocks and bonds,’’ he explained. “The new banking act imposes strict limitations on banking institutions. The agricultural adjustment act places a powerful guiding hand on agriculture. The industrial recovery act, in the encouraging words of the President himself, was designed to set up a ‘partnership between government and business.’ "The philosophy of the act is to release business and industry from the shackles of the anti-trust laws, which for fifty years have made it impossible for business management to set its house in order. Mr. Lund pointed to higher prices in agriculture and industry, to increased employment and higher wages as being attributable to Mr. Roosevelt’s program. These devel- J opments compare more than favorably with statistics of other nations, he said. Labor organizers, he added, ‘have not hesitated to misrepresent the purposes and provisions of the act, nor to cause industrial disturbances where necessary to bring about recognition."

DRAFT CHAROES ARE DENIED BY UTILITYLEADER Indicted Insull Head Blames Attorney's Threats for Jury Probe. By Timm Special HAMMOND. Ind.. Dec. 21.—A statement declaring that the corporate procedure of the Northern Indiana Public Service Company was in no sense improper was issued today by Morse DellPLain, president of the company, when he was informed that indictments had been returned against officers of the company by the Lake county grand jury. At the same time, Mr. Doll Plain revealed that counsel for Howard Duncan, former treasurer of the company, awaiting sentence for embezzlement of $132,000 of company funds, had attempted to obtain his agreement to a suspended sentence for Dungan by threatening to expose the company to scandal that would reflect on its management. “I wish to assure the 17.000 stockholders and the other security holders of the company that its officers have not been engaged in any improper practices,” asserted Mr. Dell Plain. "The other side of the story has not been told, however. We will request an early hearing on these charges in order to disprove them." Turns Down Offer In connection with the visit of Duncan's attorney to his office, Mr. Dell Plain said: “Before this burst of notoriety, I was given an opportunity by defense counsel to stop it if I would agree to join in a request for a suspend p d sentence for Duncan. I was told that if I did not agree to such leniency, the company would be exposed to unfavorable publicity which would reflect on its integrity, its rate structures, and its officers. “I refused to enter into any bargain. Business “Strictly Proper” “I told Duncan’s attorney that this company was not afraid of publicity for its corparate acts, that it had placed the facts of Duncan’s thefts before the prosecuting attorney, and that it would not be a party to allowing such a crime to go unpunished. "I refused to join in any recommendation for a suspended sentence, and Duncan’s attorney apparently has made good his threats with a vengeance.” Mr. Dell Plain reiterated that the company had at all times conducted its business in a strictly proper manner, and added that it was absurd to assume that because a company was large and its business v'as complicated, that it, therefore, was dishonest.
