Kan Joiie, Cal, Auk 23.— (UP)—
Talesmen who would hang David
Damson on circumstantial evidence
sought by the state today as the

inated women talesmen In prepara
tion for a theory that Lamson’s
pretty wife was not beaten to death
but died of an accidental fall. The
Issue between opposing attorneys

former sales manager of the Stan

Many men talesmen, however,
said they could not vote death un

ably would hesitate to undertake.
On tho other hand, there Is the
question of playing fair with the
Industries and business concerns
cooperating whole-heartedly In the
recovery drive. The NRA must
back them up by preventing un
scrupulous competitors from un
dermining them through chiseling
tactics.
While some see In Johnson's
warnings a bold effort to Intimidate
tho cheaters to such an extent
drastic action will no tbe neces
sary, It Is held by persons close
to the administrator that unless
some such step Is taken the whole
movement may degenerate Into an
ineffectual gesture.
The Issue presents a difficult
problem and Its solution will be one
of Johnson's major administrative
duties.
In the meantime, complaints pile
up. Many Arms protest against un
fair tactics of competitors. House
wives report cases where clerks
who servo them whisper that their
hours haven't been reduced. One
complainant accused a local mer
chant of chiseling on his code while
making flowery speeches in sup
port of the NRA.
The complaints are being filed
and sorted. In some cases they
are referred to field agents for
checking up. Some are taken di
rectly to the firms concerned. In
several Instances /genuine misun
derstandings existed and violations
were corrected.
The NRA complaint bureau was
making something of a mystery out
of its handling of tho complaints.
One of the possibilities Is that
the bureau will compile a list of
proved offenders and submit it to
Johnson for summary action. For
tho Present the mere Job of group
ing and classifying the complaints
keeps tho staff busy and the broad
er question v>f acting constructive
ly on them apparently receives
scant attention.
Tho development of tho com
plaint bureau, Is evidence of the
NRA's rapid expansion. It Is rap
idly taking up most of the surplus
office space in the vast commerce
department building. The building
houses 5,000 workers and nearly
one-flfth now aro NRA employes.
The NRA has most of the fourth
floor and Is spilling over Into the
third floor. Two months ago there
wero 1.10 employes. Yesterday the.,
NRA payroll carried 913 names.
Night Hearings
Washington, Aug 23.— (UP)—
Night sessions were ordered to
speed NRA hearings on a retail
trado code as Administrator Hugh
S. Johnson to-day set for himself
the task of expanding co/nmerclul
credits after completing coal and
automobile codes.
"Individual consideration," was
sought for small neighborhood
stores. A Lincoln Wlsler, Chicago,
representing 10,009 neighborhood
mcrenants, contended thut "forc
ing" maximum working weeks uni
formly on email and large busi
ness houses would Increase the
small merchant's overhead 50 per
cent.
< Deputy Administrator A. D.
Whiteside pressed for n|teed. The
hearing was opened yesterday with
a pledge by Johnson to back up
resistance by the retail trade to un
warranted price increases.
Regarding •credits, Johnson paid
he believed something could be
done, "immediately, In view of the
upward spiraling of prices and the
returning confidence in business."
He has conferred on credits with
officials of the Federal Reserve
System and the Reconstruction Fi
nance corporation.
"1 uni working on a plaA to pry
the thing loose and expect to have
It ready in a few days as soon as
I can get the coal and automo
bile codes out of the way,” he said.
Johnson denied the coal codo
delay was caused by obstructionist
tactics and forecast early action.
He planned to Issue a statement
soon, officially Interpreting col
lective bargaining provisions of the
recovery act. He indicated he
would hpply his Interpretation to
unionization and open shop dis
putes which have blocked the coal
and automobile codes.
Director T. S. Hammond of the
NRA blue eagle division Issued a
staetment that "prompt and effec
tive action will bo taken" against
violators of the president's re-em
ployment agreement, but said no
local agencies had been delegated
the power to take back the blue
eagle, an act which Johnson has
suld would constitute "a sentence
of economic death.”

"To get down to plain talk,’’ the
[irlest said, "the Hoover philosophy
s the exploitation of the many for
:he few. I am informed that Mr
Hoover promoted over 100 gold
mines, not one of which ever paid
% dividend."
Father Coughlin emphasized that
he had “no quarrel with Mr Hoov
er personally but only with his
philosophy.’’
“I am defending a Protestant
iresident,” he said as he launched
Into an impassioned plea for the
Roosevelt administration and the
lew deal. ”1 am defending a
Protestant president who has had
more courage than 90 per cent of
the Catholic priests in thtg coun
try, because he has followed the
sncyclicals of the Popes and be

Dwelling upon the local bank
situation, hp asserted that no aid
would come to the Detroit banks
until “men like Watkins (former
lollce commissioner and chairman
if the depositors committee) stop
wasting their money and time on
petitions.

ror an acknowledged experiment.
There are many who believe in
other remedies. That is not the
point. There can be only one cure
tried at a time and the president
must, like Luke in the Bible be the
great physician. The president has
frankly stated that this is an ex
periment and he will be the first
to acknowledge If it does not work.
He asks only for loyal cooperation
In trying out a plan which gives
reasonable nromlse of success.
To those who fear the experi
ment. I havfe this to say. Do not
forgot that the president has only
a limited congressional mandate,
and that Jhe whole machinery of
the national recovery act has less
than a year of life before It, and,
as a matter of fact, has not been
used, up to this time, at all, and
that the blanket agreement which
Is known as the president's reem
ployment agreement has no stat
utory authority, but only the sanc
tion of an executive appeal to the
generous Instincts of a free people,
an appeal which no decent, fair
minded person has the right to
Ignore. \
"The slightest reflection on these
facts should dispose of the claim
that the national recovery act
Bhakcs the firm foundation of our
constitution or marks a revolution
In our government and in the con
duct of our every-day life.
"There are some who may chal

New York with former Mayor
Frank Murphy, now governor
general of the Philippines, but that
neither he nor Murphy had, at the
time of the call to Comstock, con
ferred with any New York bankers.
"I was advised," he testified,
"that certain banks in the Thumb
District of Michigan, called the
Sleeper Banks, had closed. I called

Mr Hoover’s telegram suggested
various officials of his administra

leading to the closing of thos<
banks.” He named former official!
of their Reconstruction Flnanct

the state highway department will
Immediately begin the paving Job.
The sewer will be connected with
the main trunk line In the Nauga

been faced with the necessity of a
sewage disposal, most of the prop
erty owners depending upon cess
pools and sewage tanks for dis
posal. The se\\er was recently
completed along the Naugatuck
river to a point opposite Thomas

The Connecticut Company has
agreed to cooperate with the state
and city in the construction for the
paving. The tracks will be torn
up and it is expected that busses
will be pressed Into service during
the construction job. After the
paving is complete a single track
will carry the trolleys to the Chase

European powers were consider
ing the addition of 8,000 men to
the military forces allowed Aus
tria under the St German treaty.
It was hoptld the men would be
ready to go to the border early
In September, after they have been
organized and instructed in special
duties.
Authorities want the new men ,to
serve a double purpose. In addi
tion to being frontier guardsmen,
they are Intended to be a medium
for increasing the morale of the
present frontier forces, chiefly Ty
roleans and Salzburglans, by Im
pressing upon them that they are
defending Austria as a whole In
repelling Nazi attacks—not the Ty
rol aldne—and hence that eastern
and southern Austria are ready to
do their share of any fighting.
Frontier Incidents have been
frequent. Only a fortnight ago a
frontier policeman was shot and
killed from ambush. This led to
an Increase In the border guard,
and orders from the government
for guards to shoot to kill anyone
who adopted threatening attitude
or even failed to halt when ordered
to do so. They were Instructed
