CONGRESS MAY BE FORCED TO MAPJIRA PATH New Recovery Board Split by Divergent Views: Action Needed. . B'j Bcrippt.fi ovmrd .V nrtpnprr AHirmcc WASHINGTON, Dec. I.—The national Industrial recovery board, split by the divergent view.-'nts of it* seven members, may dump on congress' doorstep the entire job of charting new NRA policies. Since the NIRA suceeded General Hugh S. Johnson ard took charge of the Blue Eagle, It has taken only one major step. This was the recent assignment of Sol Rosenblatt, division administration, to take charge of compliance. Mr. Rosenblatts Job is to clear up 17.000 labor complaints and 2,500 trade-prac-tice complaints. The Rosenblatt appointment was a victory for Sidney Hillman, president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and labor members of the NIRA. So far as can be learned, no progress has been made toward settling any of the other major problems left by General Johnson. Uncoded Industries remain uncoded. No decisions appear to be in prospect on continuation of price-fixing, on co-ordination of wages and hours among related industries, on rationalization of north-south differentials. or on adaption of a handful of master codes. Policy Trend Unchanged Innumerable code amendments have been approved, but none is of a fundamental nature nor can any new trend in policy be detected. The hearings scheduled Dec. 11 on minimum lumber prices have been heralded as a test of code price fixing. They will not be. The lumber code provides that minimum prices may be fixed where an emergency exists. The hearings will simply determine whether an emergency exists in all sections. They will not explore the price fixing policy Itself. President Roosevelt, however, may chart a course on price fixing after he receives reports on the basing point price system of the iron and steel code, due today from the federal trade commission and the j NIRA. The two reports conflict. | The NIRA upholds the pricing bystem. while the trade commission finds it in violation of anti-trust laws. Trade Commission Studied The President himself is expected to decide whether the basing points shall continue to have code sanction. Several congressmen are discussing transfer of the whole NRA machinery to the trade commission, with price fixing eliminated. Use of the trade commission to enforce trade practice provisions has been suggested to the recovery board in a report by William H. Davis, former NRA compliance director. Mr. Dans' recommendations, released by the board itself. Indicate to some here that the Blue Eagle presently will be abandoned and punishment of code violators turned over to the courts. C. M. B.

Farmers and producers of milk to get higher return for their labor and investment, necessitating New Retail Prices on Milk 1 * • Statement of Special Committee RECOGNIZING, in accord with the spirit of the times, that the farmer and producer of milk was entitled to a better wage for his labor and a return in keeping with increased costs of feed and supplies, M. Clifford Townsend, Lieu-tenant-Governor and commissioner of agriculture for the state of Indiana, called together a committee composed of disinterested citizens, farmers, milk producers and distributors. After carefully weighing the facts presented, this committee found that the farmer and producer would have to receive an increase of approximately 22 per cent in order to get a fair return, which necessitates anew schedule of retail prices. It is the feeling of the committee in arriving at this new schedule of retail prices that the interests of everybody concerned * —the public, the producer and the distributor—have had due and fair consideration. / • • New Prices Effective Sunday, December 2,1934.

OBSTRUCTIONIST TACTICS BARRED BY REPUBLICANS G. 0. P. to Meet Each Issue Raised on Merits, Snell Says. Bp CnitfA Prr* WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. —Representative Bertrand Snell (Rep.. N. Y.), minority floor leader, indicated today that Republican congressmen would not pursue the obstructionist tactics during the coming session. "Republican members who have talked with me have said that we should meet each of the issues raised by the majority party solely on its merits.” he said. "Republicans are interested in the

restoration of normal condition* In this country and I am sure that they will co-operate in every effort to bring that about,” Representative Snell said indications were that the administration is taking thd middle course on the road to recovery. “I am opposed to the government entering competition with private industry and have made known my views for many years,” he continued. "Indications of the last several weeks made it appear that the administration also is swinging around to a similar attitude. Various governmental agencies apparently are halting their activities which are in opposition to private enterprise.” He criticised the manner in which the majority party conducted the recent campaign. "The extravagant use of public funds in connection with relief and loans played a most important part in this election,” he said. As for the Republican party, it is far from dead, he added. "When a political organization

receives 46 per cent of the vote cast by the entire country, it certainly is a live, active and virile party * Mr.
