NEW G. 0. P. STEI
Says Plan Will Give U. S
Chance to Select New
Deal Alternative.
Bj the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Nov. 6.—Chairman Johi
D M. Hamilton today viewed th
formation of a Republican prograii
Committee as the "first step” towari
affording the "American people ai
opportunity to select an alternativ
, to the New Deal.”
He discussed methods of selectini
members of the new group with thi
executive wing of the national com
mittee, but actual selection was post
poned pending another meeting in twi
ar three weeks.
l The national committee yesterda;
toted to create a program committei
of at least 100 to consider policies am
Issues, study the suggestions of al
important party elements and presen
• Its report to Hamilton.
Then the national committee wil
determine whether the report shouli
be presented to the public througl
the medium of a party convention.
Hamilton reported the Executive
Committee, authorized to appoint thi
program drafters after consulting Re
publican members of Congress ant
other party chieftains, decided mem
bers of the national committee shoult
not serve on the policy commission.
For chairman, he added, they fa
vored "an outstanding man—such ai
a former cabinet officer or head o
a university.” He said no names weri
mentioned.
“We have taken the first step of i
constructive program directed towari
presenting fairly before the Americai
people an opportunity to select ai
alternative to the New Deal with it;
many faults and errors,” the chairm.u
stated.
In a formal statement Hamiltu
said, in part:
"On October 20 former Presiden
Hoover * * * suggested the formatioi
of a committee of distinguished cit
izens for just this purpose and alst
suggested that the report of such t
committee should subsequently lx
submitted to a general conference o:
Republican leaders, embracing Youn;
Republicans, womens organization,
and others. He said the chief empha
sis should be laid upon a committei
to consider the issues of the day.
A few days ago Gov. Landon mad;
public a letter expressing his views
It was his thought that the scope o
inquiry on the part of such a com
mittee should be sufficiently broad si
that not only fundamental issues, bu
also specific issues, might be taken up
• "As a result of these suggestion!
and of various other communication.
from Mr. Hoover and Mr. Landon rnc
other leading Republicans, including
members of the national committee
I drafted the resolution which v.a;
presented to the committee.”

N. Y. A. CONTINUANCE
SUPPORT REFUSED
Youth Guidance Unit Rejects Res
olution Hitting Agency's City
Restrictions.
The Rural Youth Guidance Insti
tute. which closed Friday night at the
Mayflower Hotel, rejected a resolution
proposing that Congress be urged to
continue the National Youth Admin
istration on the grounds that the N.
Y. A. had concentrated its work in
cities and ‘’consistently ignored" the
half of the Nation's young people who
live on the farms.
Dr. Latham Hatcher, president of
the Alliance for Guidance of Rural
Youth, which sponsored the institute,
urged that the resolution be dropped.
Bhe said the N. Y. A. had a fine record
of service to its credit in the way of
Student aid, but that an organization
existing to assist in the guidance of
rural youth should not vote blanket
Indorsement of a guidance program
which ignored the rural youth.
National Youth Administration of
ficials said yesterday the N. Y. A. pro
gram was concentrated in the cities
because the most people could be
reached there at the least expense, but
pointed out that it does sponsor nu
merous rural projects, and a farm and
home training program in co-oper
ation with State agricultural colleges.
Church Bazaar Planned.
The annual bazaar and turkey din
, her of the Women’s Guild of Calvary
Methodist Church has been scheduled
the afternoons and evenings of No
vember 16 and 17, Mrs. J. W. Wells,
eecretary, -announced yesterday.

Fact-Finding Agency to As
sist in Business Regula
tion Advocated.
By the Associated Press.
Blackwell Smith, once assistant gen
eral counsel of N. R. A., recommended
to President Roosevelt yesterday the
creation of a new fact-finding agency
to assist in the regulation of industry
under the anti-trust laws.
He told reporters after a call at the
! White House that enforcement of the
11 anti-trust laws should be based more
on the question of whether a given
industry was operating in the public
I interest than on a strictly legalistic
! conception of whether it was function
| ing in restraint of trade.
He said he felt the prime need was
' for a fact-finding agency, such as a
] co-ordinate branch of the Federal
| Trade Commission, to build up an in
j formed picture of industry so that the
| question of whether a particular in
! dustry ought to be prosecuted for any
| given practice could be determined
in the light of the facts of whether
it is against the public interest in
what it is doing.
“The trouble now is that a violation
of the anti-trust laws comes down to
a question as to whether there is an
unreasonable restrainst of trade, which
may be a technical violation but hav
ing nothing to do with the public in
terest,” he said.
Smith, now a member of a New York
law firm, said the anti-trust laws now
| are defined by judges who have little
! idea of how an industry should func
| tion.
“Such a fact-finding agency might
disclose what an industry is doing in
the light of public interest as de
termined by such questions as em
ployment, labor standards and so
forth.” he said. “If it slows down
production and tends to hamper dis
tribution of goods that should be prima
facie evidence that it is against the
public interest and if it looked like a
violation it should be prosecuted.”
