The committee, members said, reached Its. decision shortly before the N.

R. A. code, under which the $12,000,000,000 oil industry will function hereafter, became effective to all practical purposes at midnight.

Cates and myself is the issue of statutory interpretation and faithfulness to a decided policy of the President." Behind the scenes negotiations went forward under the direction of deputy administrators to get the bituminous coal and retail codes ready for President Roosevelt's signature next week.

It looks like the southeast could get together and adopt uniform books." Existence of "a school book trust in America, whether visible or not," was proclaimed by Governor Sholtz. "What I have against the trusts is that they are making their blood money out of the children of our states," he added. "Reading, writing and spelling are the same everywhere and I can see no logical reason for so many changes in the textbooks."

Caldwell of Washington. The report was read after the association had elected officers, headed by Earl W. Evans of Wichita, Kansas, as president, to carry on its work during the coming year.

Cummings Thursday in which the attorney general referred to the temporary nature of the recovery program and other emergency legislation.

"But the brain trust jsn't saying the same thing," he said. "What does General Hugh S. Johnson say? I am not hostile to the new deal, but there is such a complete change in the orientation of government that it may not be able to turn back from the present emergency program in two years." The bar should be prepared, he 3aid, to change the judicial set-up to meet such an eventuality. Cald well's only criticism of the N. R.
