Show N. R. A. IS JUST PIONEERING The NRA has its pioneering work behind It Now it is gradually grad-ually developing Into a more rational, ra-tional, better organized governmental govern-mental bureau. Last change gave the blue eagle five deflnate branches. bran-ches. They cover, in groups, Extractive Ex-tractive Industries, Construction and Machinery, Chemicals, Leather Leath-er and other Manufactures, Trades Service, Textiles and Clothing. Each branch has an admlnistra-trator admlnistra-trator all its own, making a sort of fiveman cabinet to Big-Shot Administrator Hugh Johnson. Person who wish to report a code violation to the NRA have only to go to the post office, procure a blank, fill it out and file it with , the local NRA compliance officer. He makes an effort to fix matters up, and if he fails he passes it on to his Immediate superior, the Divisional ' Administrator. He takes a crack at it, and in event of failure, send3 it up to the National Na-tional Compliance Board. If it flops, General Johnson gets it next. If necessary he can turn the charge over to the Federal Trade Commission or the Attorney-General. General Johnson always has a lot of fights on his hands. Most recent was with the Federal Reserve's Re-serve's Bulletin. It said that late industrial declines have occurred most severely in industries which have been affected by codes. The General shook his head, growled menacingly, barked out that the situation was precisely the reverse re-verse of that, and that code industries in-dustries have been going forward. So the reader can take his choice. a more important ngnt or the battling General's, is his longstanding long-standing feud with Ford. The other day hq traded in his government govern-ment Lincoln for a Cadillac, announced an-nounced that Ford would get no government contracts. Showdown will come soon, when automobile makers are required to send in their employment statistics. If Ford refuses, as everyone believes he will, next round will probably take place in the courts. |
