"WASHINGTON, Mar. 30--(AP) --Through Donald Richberg, th'e NRA emphatically told the lumber'code authority today that lacked power to carry out its proposal to suspend the lum: ber code. An aroused industry, however, showed nc indication that it would heed this statement any more tha.n did previous promises by Richberg, chairman of NRA's advinis- trative board, to speedily amend the agreement. Richberg's admonition to the code authority Was pne of a series of developments during the day which added to the recovery accumulated troubles or to the doubt about its future.

They included: A bi-parUsan move by Senators Clark (D. Mo.) and Hastings (B.

Senators Hastings and Clark said they planned to introduce on Monday a resolution calling on the justice 'department to prosecute the Belcher case appeal instead of dismissing it as had been planned.

Members 'of all veteran organizations and the general public are cordially in-, vite'cl to hear the message of Coni- mander-in-Chief Van Zandt. Commander in Chief Van Zandt's reputation as a student of veteran welfare problems and a champion in behalf of the disabled veteran and his dependents is known throughout veteran and political circles. As head of America's largest group of overseas veterans, Van Zandt is a staunch ao vocate for repeal of the economy act and a restoration of the benefits to which disabled veterans were entitled before March 2Qth, 1933, the date on which this meas- was enacted by congress shortly after Ihe present administration assumed power. Commandeivin-Chief Van Zandt is also leading his organization in the fight for pensions for widows and orphans of deceased World War veterans on an equal basis with the widows and orphans of veterans of previous wars. In a recent visit to the White House, Commander-in-Chief Van Zandt presented a program of legislation to President Roosevelt based upon the theory that the responsibility for the care and welfare of disabled World War veterans, and their dependents, is primarily an obligation that belongs to the federal government.

Ever since 1924, when Van first assumed an active role the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, he has been a firm believer in the theory of immediate cash payment of adjusted service certificates for World War veterans. He has been a consist, ent fighter toward this objective and his efforts in this direction have been redoubled since his reelection as commander-in-chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States at the 1934 national encampment held in Louis- not yc Nazi Chief and German Actress Marry April 10 30--(AP)-ceremonies unite German Her- Goering, Nazi iy Sonnemann, officially an- Recently Doyle escaped after a gunfight with Federal agents but when his getaway car became bogged down in mud about 20 miles from Pittsburgh, he telephoned a Kansas sheriff and said "Come and get a much wanted man."

WASHINGTON, March 30-CAP)--Faced by assertions of senate and house leaders that they would oppose further changes he wants made in the $4,880,000,000 work relief bill, Secretary tckcs today appealed directly to President Roosevelt. He dispatched a lengthy wireless on the controversy to the President, now cruising in Bahama waters, after consulting with Vice President Garner on the situation which Is delaying final action on the big measure.

Unless the president does lake a hand, sentiment on capital hill apparently will sweep objections aside and speed the bill to final action in its present form.
