nobody has pretended sdminlstration circles were not Interested keenly in the situation that has developed there Drawing Closer The administration has been aware too that McKee haa been drawing closer to it within the past Week and that Florello La Guardia his fusion-ist opponent has been asking authorized you to tie up your campaign with the president?" 4n spite of that the White House reiterated ita off policy and Farley while speaking great deal on tour of upstate New York said nothing at all about the New York political situa tion Today's development was regarded however even by his friends as making it necessary for Farley either to put in a word for McKee or leave him open to the construction of having been repudiated by the administration Hite Use of A Johnson's telegrafn to McKee

in the code of fair competition which made necessary such a deviation from this understanding of the evident consultation and collusion in grnving at the new and puform base prices it seems clear that these are noncompetitive prices lacking the safeguard to the consumer which competition provides Manifestly also the code was not intended to eliminate competition On the contrarylt is by its own terms code of fair Eastman concluded with the asser-tlpn "the government will advance funds to the railroad companies on the basis of a price of $35 per gross ton for the first quality steel rail with other prices related in the ratio of the base prices now on file and with the understanding that the government will later advance additional funds or receive refunds to accord with such other prices
