| Show i THE GARLAND TIMES GARLAND UTAH Claims to Longevity Hard to Substantiate Washington — Unless all signs fall Is going to be' a determined stand by many of the Fight for country’s business InLimit on NRA lionre8tlon the‘ litulta provisions of the national Industrial recov ery act when that question comes up for congressional action next January An undercurrent of In or February formation to the effect that a movement to that end Is under way has begun to seep Into Washington In a It Indicates that w growing volume will hear much about NRA during the some ob Indeed coming campaigns servers are convinced that President Roosevelt already Is attempting to get side of the story the administration’s to the country by sending General Johnson recovery administrator out for a tour of speechmaking to sell the bine eagle to the country It will be rememThe President bered already has declared that NRA must be made a permanent part of our I have found few economic structure persons who disagree with that There Is a difference of views however and It Is emphatic as to the extent to which NRA should go In managing the on a permanent business country’s basis It Is upon that question there fore that the battle apparently will be there waged From I can what pick up around here it Is certain that a considerable portion of the business interests Is desirous of a limitation on the recovery act provisions so that they will apply of maxireally just to establishment mum hours of labor and minimum wages and to abolition of the sweat shop and elimination of child labor They are determined In their oppositlon to retention in the recovery act of that give power to fix provisions prices to control production and to grants of authority that bring private business books Into the limelight when ever snooping government agents want to dig Into private affairs of indivithink duals or corporations Frankly that feature has done more to discredit NRA than any other phase of the It which the On under law operates other band only the meanest and cheapest of Individuals can oppose any move that Is designed to provide better working conditions and hours of labor for those who live by the sweat of their brow While obviously none can foretell the result of this Issue at such an early date the opinions that I gather here make me be among observers lleve that there Is quite a popular appeal In the argument which Is being advanced for revision of the recovery act and limitation of NRA control will go along with Folks thut work for betterment propositions but which do not at the same time clude invasion of what they believe to be their personal rights The admlnis tration contends however that exten Sion of the recovery act powers — or at least retention of the powers now In NRA — are not an Invasion of personal rights bejond the necessity for creating greater human happiness But the hard headed business man great or small is going to be hard to convince It seems to me that government control to the extent of fixing his prices and doing some of the other now permitted is not an undue things messing with his personal affairs The lessons of the depression have been so severe that there Is little evidence of Important opposition to curtailment of hours of labor Likewise sound business leaders cannot Justify opposition to minimum wages nor can they find a safe ground upon which to propose use of child labor or operation under sweat shop conditions Politically therefore labor will be Interested only in those four Items the women vote of the country probably will be Interested only In accomplishment of those ends and business terests worthwhile will not object was called above to the Attention which General Johnson Is making in behalf of the Johnaon Wanta blue

administrative authority of It seems to be In the nature NRA If It works out satof an experiment we may expect to see the isfactorily veteran army officer retire to private life lie baa said as much He wanta Mr to get back Into private business Roosevelt however likes the fighting qualities of General Johnson and It Is still possible that be will remain for the on the Job lie Is responsible general plan of NRA administration vaand the theories embodied In the rious codes It would seem therefore that the man who worked out the should codes along and sift stay them down to the permanent level If be the goal permanency Whether General Johnson continues at the helm or whether the management of that work Is entrusted flnalty to General Johnson’s group of five It la certain that the summer and autumn will wtness ellm lnation of many petty features of codes that have proved to be only an I believe there Is agreenoyances ment among unbiased thinkers that development of codes at the rate necessary to make the Initial drive for recovery naturally brought many provisions of a worthless character Uany times It has been shown those provisions have very nearly npset the good that wa obviously going to result from fair practice agreements The Job the board has to do If it remains as a successor to General Johnson Is to go through the codes with a comb and eliminate all of the questionable and useless provisions My opinion Is If this were done there would be much less opposition to the codes and conto continuation of the Insequently dustrial recovery act The prevalent thought In Washington then Is that as a result of the features contained in the annoying codes the administration is likely to pull hard to revise as many of them as Is possible before next winter' Much of this work obviously will have to be done before election and such political effect as may be will be reaped In the ballot boxes always has been true that an Inwho Is convalescing passes through a stage on Invalid the way to recovery Perka Uo w1ere he developsEv-a genuine grouch Food Is hits him wrongly erything not right and medicines are no good a thousand and one other things and furnish grounds for complaint This condition nearly always precedes the time when the patient gets out of bed and takes a few steps again The circumstance to which have referred Is such a common occurrence that it seems to me there Is no better of the condition In which Illustration American business now Is represented to be It is highly significant In the first Instance It shows according to the experts that business has enough new life blood to start fighting back plans and polagainst administration icies that cramp Its style and secondly vigorous opposition never has failed to be a healthy thing for the country as a whole From the information I get In many quarters It Is yet too early to tell whether commerce and Industry is going to be a unit In any one course of its opposition The strictly recovery phases of the New Deal are not going to be attacked even by the Republican national committee That question ap Is settled But business Inparently terests apparently and quite logically are distinguishing between recovery and reform Take the legislation that for control of created the commission security sales and policing the stock I frankly as an example exchanges leaderdo not see how the Republican ship or business Interests can expect to get far in criticism of that even If On It Is solely a reform proposition the other band business Interests can and will attack such projects as the manufacture and sale of government electric power In open competition with private plants such as is taking place under the experiment in the Tennessee valley It valid Zaro Agha who died In the Children’s hospital at Istanbul Turkey a short time ago may Indeed have been the world’s oldest man though widespread doubt will resist the claim of the ancient Turk that he was one He hundred and sixty years of age could have been many years younger than the age he ‘’claimed and still compete with authenticated cases of extreme age that have been checked In by men interested In longevity fact he could have cast off almost a half century from his claim and still In been with have sharp competition the most extreme case of longevity ever fully authenticated by scientific not quite 111 years investigation There can be no doubt but that Agha was a very old man and that he carried hie years lightly but the evidence of his greatest dependence in support of bis claim a birth certificate In which the “dogum tarlht" or date of birth is set at 1191 on the Moslem calendar or February 16 1774 few months more than two years before the American states declared their
