RICH, YOUTHFUL, W. A. HARRIMAN HELPS RUN NRA Son of Railroad Czar Is Raised to No. 2 Post in Code Regime. Ba Srrippt-fiairard Xctcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, April 2. A tali, secretive young man lounges through NRA's corridors these days, swiftly moving the stakes which marked out the old order of American business into the new code outlines. He is William Averell Harriman, heretofore widely known as controller of a SIOO 000.000 fortune, polo player and president of the Union Pacific railroad, at the age of 23. Now he is No. 2 man in NRA, after a meteoric two-month service under General Hugh S. Johnson. He is in charge of the widespread reorganization under w T ay to fit the outfit to code administration. He's 42, But Looks Younger Mr. Harriman looks about threefourths his real age of 42. He is lithe, slightly stoop-shouldered and handsome. He is said to have deep interest in social problems, like his sister. Mrs. Harry Rumsey, who is chairman of the NRA consumersadvisory board. But he conceals it effectively under the suspicious attitude which many rich men’s sons adopt toward the public and the press, “All releases must come from General Johnson’s office,” he said to one reporter who attempted to interview him. When it was explained that a personal interview was wanted he said he “didn’t believe in that stuff,” and fled into his office. Mr. Harriman is a son of E. H. Harriman, railway king of the Union Pacific system, whom the first President Roosevelt included on his list of “malefactors of great wealth.” The elder Harriman was short and tense, unlike his son in that respect, but just as secretive about his railroad kingdom as the son is about the public business he now handles. Headed Road at 23 Averell Harriman went to Yale, where he attained Skull and Bones, rowed on the varsity crew, and learned to be a crack polo player. Af.er his graduation In 1913 he donned overalls in the Union Pacific shop';. He rose in that organization with dizzy speed also, and two years later was president of the road. In spite of his social activities, he has expanded his father’s huge fortune in railroads, banks and shipping to include dairying and merchandising operations. He also carried on past-war transactions in Russian manganese. He does not list his politics in the latest edition of“ Who's Who,” although he does say that he is a “well-known polo player.” In 1932 he was one of the younger group of multi-millionaires who came out strongly for Franklin Roosevelt. He is a vice-president of Ray Moley's magazine ‘Today.” Quit Aviation Post Mr. Harriman was chairman of the board of Aviation Corporation of Delaware, one of the major holding companies involved in the recent airmail scandal, but he resigned before starting work with NRA. When he arrived early in February to become divisional administrator in charge of heavy industries, he was still a director of the Union Pacific, Guaranty Trust Company, Manhattan Company, and Western Union. He is listed also as executive committee chairman of the Illinois Central Railroad. Mr. Harriman within a month was promoted to be one of the general's five assistant administrators, and now, over the heads of executives senior in service, he becomes first assistant, it was announced upon his arrival that he was to stay only until May 1. It is expected now he will continue indefinitely, and there is talk that he may succeed the general as administrator.

Indiana in Brief Lively Spots in the State’s Happenings Put Together ‘Short and Sweet.’ By United Perm COLUMBUS, April 2.—Every man with mud cn his overshoes is not necessarily an honest farmer, is a lesson which cost a Columbus store $lB. “The mud on his arctics is what turned the trick,” Clarence Vetter, proprietor of the store, told police when he advised them that a man who made a purchase tendered a worthless check for $lB. Purchases to the amount of $2.58 were made and the buyer tendered the check. Mr. Vetter said he hesitated about giving change until he noticed the mud-covered overshoes of the man. Communication with the Live Stock Exchange bank at the Union Stockyards, Indianapolis, revealed no person with the name signed on the check has an account.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

EASTER RITES ON YACHT LED BY ROOSEVELT President Conducts Service in Respect to Old Navy Custom. By United Press MIAMI, Fla., April 2.—Keeping in touch with Washington developments by radio, President Roosevelt cruised to new fishing grounds in the Bahamas today. Burned a deep tan by a tropical sun, the chief executive was hopeful of snaring barracuda and marlin, big. gamey fighters of the deep, in a series of fishing excursions from the Nourmahal, Vincent Astor's yacht, on which he is a guest. The Nourmahal had as its rendezvous Stranger Cay channel. The President headed for that spot from the vicinity of Rocky Point, Great Abaco Island, where Easter was spent and where, on the awning-shaded quarter-deck of the yacht he conducted divine services for the officers and men of the U. S. S. Ellis and the Nourmahal. Mr. Roosevelt followed out an old navy tradition, it was explained, in conducting the religious services. Regulations provide that in absence of a chaplain the senior officer present perform his duties. The President, in this case, was that person, being commander-in-chief of the navy. A brief message from the Nourmahal told of the incident which is unique in navy history, it being the first time such duties were taken over by a commander-in-chief. The message read: “The President of the United States conducted divine service on the quarter-deck cf the Nourhamal this Easter Sunday morning, attended by the officers and men of the Ellis and the Nourmahal.” LOAN PERIOD EXTENDED Corn Advances Will Be Available L T p to May 1.

HIT THAT COLD A KNOCKOUT BLOW! Don’t Invite Serious Complications with Makeshift Remedies !

A cold is something to be dealt with promptly and decisively. You never can tell where it will end. Many a “slight cold” has been the start of a serious illness. Get after a cold quickly and get after it in the right way. A cold, being an internal infection, requires internal treatment. A cold also calls for a COLD remedy and not a “cure-all.” The wise thing to take is Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine —for several reasons. Instead of a “cureall,” it is expressly a cold remedy. It is also an internal treatment which a cold, an internal infection, requires. And it is complete in effect. It does the four things necessary. First, it opens the bowels. Second, it combats the cold germs in the system and reduces the fever. Third, it relieves the headache and grippy feeling. Fourth,

For an additional $2.50 minimum payment a month, the company will install at its own expense a special type meter which will permit the customer to use all the energy he wants at the low peak of consumption. This is called “Time controlled energy rate" designed to increase night loads and may be used for any purpose the customer desires. One of the largest power shovels ever built is being use in Germany to load coal cars. It is more than eighty feet high and can handle 850 cubic yards of coal an hour.

it tones the entire system and helps fortify against further attack. Anything less than that is not complete treatment. Grove’s Laxatve Bromo Quinine contains nothing harmful and is absolutely safe to take. For more than forty years it has been the standard cold and grippe tablet of the world, the formula always keeping pace with Modern Medicine. Every druggist sells Grove’s Laxative Bromo Quinine, 30c and j 50c. Good druggists won't offer a | substitute for the sake of an extra profit. When a cold attacks, don’t waste | time with makeshift methods, but I go right to your druggist for Grove’s Laxative Bromo Quinine. Always ask for it by the full name and ; look for the letters L B Q stamped I on every tablet. —Advertisement.
