to the national director m asli
ington. In a statement issued lollowing
Wednesday afternoon's session, offi
cials declared, of the decision to es
tablish headquarters at Omaha, that:
Insure Qnicker Action.
"The establishment of the
regional council will insure
quicker action in cases of non
compliance and obviate the ne
cessity for respondents to travel
to Washington for a hearing
before the national council."
The regional office, it was pointed
out, will take no hand in original
investigations of complaints, but will
i possess the "full and final authcr-
ity" to rescind the Blue Eagles of
! f.rms violating the codes. A regional
j "litigation division" then is empow
i ered to prosecute violators,
j Regional authorities also will
function in a supervisory capacity
over the state cfTices in their terri
tories, it was taid.
Stronger Compliance.
The new" arrangement, officials
averred "will result in a more uni
versal compliance with the codes of
i'air competition."
State directors here, meanwhile,
gave no indications that they anti
cipated letting NRA "die" next June,
as the chamber of commerce direc
tors recommended Tuesday at Omaha.
Instead, the spread cf NRA poli
cies into state law as well as the
national law was one of the chief
topics at the NRA conference.
Col. R. S. Reach, NRA's deputy
administrator, from Washington, said
the government isn't trying to in
fluence the states to pass NRA laws,
but is giving advice when asked on
i legislative programs which will co
ordinate with the national industrial
recovery act.
TAE3I CENSUS III NEBRASKA
Washington. The office of Senator-elect
Burke of Nebraska an-
nounced three assistant supervisors
of the farm census in Nebraska have
been appointed. They are Fonda
Drown of Scottsbluff, first district;
Charles A. Prizer of Papillion, third,
and R. C. Vance of Milford, fifth
district. Tho office said also that
Helen Stuart of Lexington has been
recommended for appointment as as
sistant supervisor in the second dis
trict. The enumeration will begin
Jan. 2, 1935, and an effort will be
made to complete it within a month.
The bureau said district headquar
ters and application for appointment
would be opened immediately as
enumerators should be addressed to
the district supervisors. The ap
pointments since Nov. 14 included:
Nebraska, district 5, Lincoln, Charles
M. Haller.
JOINS CHRISTMAS PARTY
New Ycrk. Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt came here cn what her sec
retary said wa3 a "purely personal"
visit, but she got in a Christmas
party cn the way.
Somo COO east side boys from sis
to twelve years old cheered wildly
v.hon the first lady suddenly appear
ed at their Christmas party at the
Tompkins Square clubhouse of the
Boys' Club of New York.
"I am very glad that I am able
to step for a few minutes to see
what a grand party you are hav
ing," she said. "I wish you and all
the boys all ever the country a very,
vcrry happy Christmas."
Hopkins a Critic
of the Program of
Business Men
Latter Group, However to Go Ahead
in Efforts at Recovery To
"Point Direction."
Washington. American business
leaders determined to proceed with
development of their platform for
economic recovery despite a shower
of criticism by Washington and oth
er officials. The platform itemized
Wednesday at a "joint business con
ference for recovery" at White Sul
phur Springs, W. Va. some of it
implying criticism of present admin
istration trends was received dur
ing the day at the white house with
out any marked enthusiasm.
Dut those who delivered it drop
ped word that they were going
ahead, and that plans were in form
ulation for a meeting between busi
ness and farm leaders in January,
with a labor conference scheduled
for later. The leaders did not confer
with the president. One of his sec
retaries accepted the written pro
gram, explaining that Mr. Roosevelt
was engaged. The word forthcoming
was that the proposal would be exam
ined "on its merits."
Sharp criticism keynotod the re
ception of the "recovery platform"
in other government quarters and
cn Capitol Hill. Particularly under
fire was the proposal that the admin
istration should turn at least in pa:t
away from work relief. Harry L.
Hopkins, the relief administrator,
declaring himself "100 percent" for
work relief, suggested that the busi
ness leaders wrap up their proposal
"in a Christmas package and send it
to the unemployed." More seriously
he declared he did not believe. there
would be "anything worse for Am
erica and the 22 millions on relief
than what these fellows suggest. I
don't like direct relief," Hopkins
added. "The unemployed don't like
it either, don't forget that."
Delegates to the industry c6ner
ence who were asked to interpret
the critical reaction refused to be
quoted until, they said, the public
has had a better apportunity to
analyze the conference's work.
The platform, one of them said,
was to "point the direction" busi
ness believed recovery should take,
and it was not a flat and entirely
final statement.
C. B. Ames, chairman of the con
ference, said before the criticisms
were published that the members
wished to be moderate, and that they
had no illusions about the perfec
tion cf the ideas cf theirs or any
other group. State Journal.

L0A1TS ANNOUNCED BY PV7A
Washington. The PWA Thursday
made loans and grants totaling 52,

construction projects. Officials esti

Washington. A demand that re
cognition of the soviet union be
withdrawn unless purported connect
ing links between Russian and Am
erican communistic organizations
are broken was made before th
house committee investigating un
American activities.
Matthew Woll, a vice president of
the American Federation of Labor,
appearing as acting president of tl.--National
Civic fede:ation, made lk'
demand. He asreed with an tarlier
statement by President Green that
communistic activities in the United
States had increased since America
recognized the soviet republics.
"This situation calls for an im
mediate remedy," Well testified. "Th-?
citizens cf the United States are in
duty bound to insist that our na
tional government request the soviet
regime to fulfill its pledge . . . by
the immediate suppression of the
communist Internationale cn its ter
ritory so far as the United States is
concerned. ...
"If the soviet unicn fall to com
ply with this request, we should d

"I can readily understand why
soviet Russia can laugh at its pled go
when the United States government
itself does not insist that it be en
forced." The "pledge" to which Well
referred v. as to the effect that the
soviet would net permit any organ
ization within its boundaries to sid
vocate overthrow of the American
government.
Woll, tracing what he called the
spread of communism in this coun
try, said even emergency education
al projects paid for by the federal
relief administration were encourag
ing the study of communism.
The relief administration, Woll
testified, recommended four publi
cations for consideration by unem
ployed teachers who were federally
hired to give instruction to unem
ployed workers. The publications, hy
said were "New Leader," "Labor Ac
tion." "Workers' Age," and "The
Daily Worker."
