CODE LEADERS DISAGREE WITH HARROW BOARD Hoke Advised Cut-Throat Competition Would Return. Abandonment of NRA codes, as suggested in the Darrow national recovery review board report, would mean a return to cut-throat competition with subsequent lower wages and icreased unemployment. This opinion was expressed today by Fred Hoke, state NRA compliance director, in quoting beliefs of the heads of state code authorities for four of Indiana’s most important industries. Their opinions had been obtained preliminary to a meeting at 2 Thursday in the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce of the members of eighty-four code authorities. The Thursday meeting has been called to consider problems of code enforcement and to present methods for action against violators of the codes, either in the wages and hours provisions or the fair trade practice sessions. The men questioned were H. L. Rauch, state petroleum code authority, chairman; R. S. Foster, state retail lumber eode authority, vice-chairman; J. W. Robinson, state retail automobile code authority, chairman, and T. M. Overley, Indianapolis code authority, secretary for the retail drug trade, general retail code and both retail and wholesale food codes. Concurrent opinions were given by E. W. Hpnter. secretary-manager of the Indiana Lumbermen’s Club, and by M. S. McNay, assistant commissioner for the retail automobile code. All stressed the stabilization of their industries under the codes, praising this feature highly. All agreed, too, that abandonment of the codes almost inevitably would result in the cutting of prices and added that this would mean that code employes added because of code provisions would be discharged and wages reduced to levels of a year ago.

WATSON PLAYS WILY GAME IN G. 0. P, RACE ( Ex-Senator Quietly Rounding Up Votes for Party Leadership. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, D. C„ Ma*p 29. Despite his own statements that he is “not a candidate in any sense of the word,” wily Jim Watson is said to be in a position now to poll more votes for the Republican national committee chairmanship than anyone else in the field. The balloting will be at Chicago on June 5, date of the G. O. P. state convention at Indianapolis, where Jim was scheduled to present tbe name of Senator Arthur R. Robinson in nomination. According to certain senators who have been checking up on the situation, the former Senator James Eli Watson has been getting results from a roundup he quietly has been making of the committee members. They would not go so far as to say that they believe that he has votes enough to succeed Everett Sanders, who has resigned, but they are unanimous in agreeing that he has more votes for the post than any one else. Watson in Control Senator Charles L. McNary (Rep.. Ore.) stated today that the plan to put Vice-Chairman Ralph E. Williams of Oregon in as acting chairman until after the November election is no longer being considered. Mr. Williams has refused to accept, the senator said. Salesmen of Ex-Senator Watson's “availability” base it on the declaration that he is the leading “conservative” who is at all acceptable to the “progressives.” If he doesn’t have enough votes to put him in the chairmanship, he will at least have sufficient to do some dictating at the Chicago meeting, it is conceded. That summing up also expresses -the way the congressional Democrats feel about R. Earl Peters as a senatorial candidate. While in the city last week, Mr. Peters frankly admitted that he has more than enough delegates to be nominated on the first ballot. Peters Strength Conceded While the majority of the Hcosiers on the hill *ere refuse to acknowledge that : .rength, they admit that no nominee can be chosen without Mr. Peters consent. Mr. Peters was assured by Post-master-General James A. Farley, who also is national Democratic chairman, that Indiana’s Democratic ticket will receive national support i in the fall. Certain of the congressional offices predicted that this support largely will be in the way of speakI ers. “If they have any cash they will I pour it into Pennsylvania and lose, ; rather than take it to Indiana and ‘ win,” was one pessimistic prediction.
