ALLEN WASHINGTON The story of the behind-the-scenes maneuvering which put across the holding corporation cor-poration bill in the senate is one of . the most amazing and significant in the annals of the New Deal. Its significance lies in the fact that even on a bill which was known as the president's pet, a large section of his own party deserted him. It took the independent inde-pendent Republicans to put the bill across. This condition will intensify as time goes on. . . . ! The amazing part of the ! hidden struggle was ' that James Aloysius Farley i anything but a radical and ! 1 his chief henchman, hefty ; Emil Hurja, came in at the j last moment to put the bill ' across. The complete story includes that of one of the most powerful and effective lobbies seen in Washington since the public utilities utili-ties rallied their forces against Senator Tom Walsh's power trust investigation in 1927. Dinner parties, stag get-togethers, high-pressure sales talk all were .used by the utility moguls to bring in votes. One senator's apartment was the scene of almost al-most nightly mint julep soirees where uncertain senators were brought in to meet the barons of big business. EX-ENEMIES Most active of the lobbyists .'ere two strange bedfellows: Joseph P. Tumulty, one-time recretary for the great reformer, Wood row Wilson, who has now Auilt up a thriving law practice in the capital. George Moses, arch-Republican ex-senator from New Hampshire. Once ardent political enemies, they became allies. Aiding them behind the scenes was Harvey Couch, one-time member of the RFC, heavy campaign cam-paign contributor to Senator Joe Robinson, and powerful utility magnate in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Couch centered his attention on Pat Harrison and Joe Robinson, chief Democratic leaders. - - - ! DELAY ! ..t The strategy of the opposition was delay.

In introducing the subject, "Christian Scknce: God's Law ot Progress," the speaker pointed out mat vnrisnaij acieuce sprang uu - tctly out of the Holy Scriptures, for Christ introduced healing and the driving out of superstition in his own day. i Judge Hill said in part: "Hu- J man law h3s been defined to be a i governing ruh of conduct prescribed pre-scribed by a supreme power, commanding" that which is right, and prohibiting that which is wrong. This law is but the attempt at-tempt of mankind to pattern infinite, in-finite, devine law. "I ask you to pause and consider con-sider for a moment. That which is right, of necessity is good. And that which is both right and good, is true.

June 17 (U.R) The reconstructed NRA is ready to receive proposals for voluntary codes but will proceed cautiously in considering consid-ering them, James L. O'Neill, New York banker, said today as he took command of NRA. Proceeding with a banker's conservatism con-servatism to the task of shaking down NRA personnel to put the organization on a stop-gap and fact-finding basis, O'Neill indicated indicat-ed it would be some time before he was ready to act on voluntary codes. They can be submitted immediately, im-mediately, however. "We don't want to make a false start," O'Neill explained. "When ( we do make a move, it will be sound and based on thorough study." The congressional act extending extend-ing a skeletonized NRA until April 1, J 936. permits voluntary agreements providing they set up labor standards and do not violate the anti-trust laws. Because they cannot be enforced en-forced and provide no penalties against "chiselers." many NRA officials have doubted their value. O'Neill, however, said there was widespread interest in voluntary agreements throughout industry and many proposals are being prepared. pre-pared. O'Neill announced that Black-well Black-well Smith, former acting counsel, coun-sel, will be general counsel in the new set-up. Leon C. Henderson, former chief of research and planning will be offered an important im-portant research post. A revision in top salaries is certain. cer-tain. O'Neill said. The chief officials offi-cials in the former organization were paid from $8,500 to $15,000 with members of the administration administra-tion board drawing $10,000 a year. These high salaries were subject to considerable criticism from industry.

PROGRAM TO CREATE JOBS BEGINS JULY 1 One Million Re-employed By July 15 Is Set As Object WASHINGTON, June 17 (U.R) Harry L. Hopkins, director di-rector of the New Deal's employment em-ployment drive, today laid down final rules to state program pro-gram directors for spending $4,000,000,000 in the next year to make work for 3,500,000 jobless. He first charged his lieutenants lieuten-ants with the responsibility for ending the dole by transferring one employable member of every family possible from relief rolls to federal payrolls. Unemploy-ables, Unemploy-ables, persons incapable of working, work-ing, will be returned to state, county and local care. Average $1100 Each He pointed out that, if the plan is to reach its goal, state chieftains chief-tains must see that needy are employed for an average of $1100 each, including their pay until July 1, 1936. and the cost of materials on projects financed by the government. gov-ernment. He demanded that the program pro-gram be kept "clean of politics," that the government receive full value for every dollar spent and that no favoritism be shown in the letting of work contracts. Hopkins called the conference, which will continue through tomorrow, to-morrow, to set off the drive for a running start by July 1. His first objective is to have 1,000,000 persons working1 by July 15. Chairman Harold L.

Most of the requests before the AAB are for heavy-type developments develop-ments that will cost double the $1100 per man average. Hopkins planned to, offset that hindrance to the program while his state program directors were assembled here. Charge Debunked He announced that projects costing cost-ing $1,500 to $2,500 for every man employed would be balanced by small, local work projects costing' well below the figure the government govern-ment has to spend to strike a $1,100 average. Hopkins, in preparing for the program, claimed to have "debunked" "de-bunked" charges that, in many instances, persons on relief refused re-fused offers of jobs and chose to keep depending on the government govern-ment for free food and clothes. He used the city of Baltimore as an example, and found that out of 195 complaints, only four persons per-sons refused to leave relief rolls for regular employment without adequate reasons.
