Interpretation The president's re-employment a-greement was written in language intended to be flexible to meet any varieties of conditions. As a result, interpretations will be required from time to time as uncertainties in the application of the agreement develop.

Interpretation No. 2 Concerning Paragraph 4: A person who believes that some particular provision in the agree- i ment, because of peculiar circumstances, will create great and unavoidable hardship, should prepare a petition to NRA asking for a stay of this provision a to him. He should then submit this petition to the trade association of his industry, or if there Is none, to the local chamber of commerce or similar representative organization designated by NRA for Its approval. The writ, ten approval of the trade association, or such other organization, will be accepted by NRA as the basis for a temporary stay, without further investigation, pending decision by NRA. The petition must contain a promise to abide by NRA's derision.

eo that if NRA decides against the petitlonr. he must give effect to the provision which was stayed, from ti dat-f of the decision of NRA. The petition and approval of the trade association or other organization, as prescribed above, should be forwarded to NRA In Washington; and the employer's signed copy of the president's re-employment a-greement should be sent to the district office of the department of commerce. After complying with these the employer will be entitled to receive and display the blue eugle by delivering his cer-Mflcate of compliance to his post office. Paragraph 14 Is not intended to irovlde for group exceptions, but only to meet cases of Individual hardship.

Interpretation No. 3 Concerning date of compliance: It Is expected that all employers desiring to cooperate with the president's recovery program will sign the agreements promptly and mall that It wll be physically Impossible them In. It Is recognized, however, In many Instances to adjust employment conditions and to hire the necessary additional personnel In order to comply with the agreement on August 1. For that reason, pr-vtslcn has been made for Issuing the blue eagle only upon the filing of a certificate of compliance. It should' be possible most cases to make the necersary adjustments and file a certificate of compliance within I by ed a on Charlie Gaines, Hon-ea Path, Charged With Attacking Small Boy ANDERSON.

Aug. 10. -A seven-year-old school boy Is In the Ander-ton County hospital with a slashed throat, and an unemployed textile worker, 30, Is held In the county jail, as the result of a strange altercation at Honeu Path last night, the circumstances of which thus far defy explanation. The boy, Larry Abercrombie. will live, physicians say.

A deep gash about four inches long was rut dl-ugonally the right side of his neck, seveuug lmxrtant let. but missing the jugular vein by a narrow margin. He was considerably weakened by lass of blood, It is understood. In Jail is Charlie Gaines, a mature ybung man. He staunchly refused to make any statement last night other than that Everybody ought to be treated alike." What he meant by this officers and others were unable to discern.

The cutting occurred about 7 o'clock in front of the Abercrombie heme, on Chlquola street. Gaines came walking up the opposite side walk fiom the direction of his home a short dirtance away, near the Ice plant, according to eye witnesses, and on seeing the little Abercrombie boy crossed the street and advanced toward him. When within a few feet of the boy ls drew out a pocket knife and opened it. witnesses said, and with a quick motion seized little Larry and plunged the knife Into his throat. Then, turning, he dashed back down the street.

Among those who witnessed the act was the boys mother, Mrs. Jule Abercrombie, and Jim Henderson, Considerable excitement was caus ed by the act, news of which spread quickly, and Honea Path policemen rushed Oaines to the Jail In Ander- on for safe keeping. He was found at his home sitting In a rocking chair, and offered no resistance when Chief G. W. Paige and Police man C.

M. Smith and M. H. Ashley told him that he was wanted. AH the way to Anderson he kept repeating, "Everybody ought to be treated alike." Chief Paige said.

So far as Investigating officers could learn there had been no trouble between the Oaines and Abercrombie families. The injured child could give no explanation of the act and Oaines refused to talk. The whole situation will probably remain a liddlefl therefore, until the defendant chooses to open up and explain himself. Edmonds Funeral Held At McCormick Mccormick. Aug.
