The Moley conference follows closely the organization an enlarg ed Bureau of Investigation in the Department of Justice. Mr. Roos evelt is determined to give full federal cooperation to the states in the drive against stealing in hu man lives. lAlso, there is indication he will suggest shortly to governors of the states a uniform method of at tack against this newest of rackets which is flourishing at alarming rate. Observers here were inclined to place double significance to the Moley visit.

Spangnolli was not held at the time, but in view of the fatal outcome police said they would request him to be present in homicide court Tues day. The police report of the acci dent said that Frank Bray of 512 West 88th street was a witness, but this address proved to be non existent. The former senator was uncon scious for 24 hours before he died and for the last 12 hours was un der an oxygen tent. He was president of the Kinney- Coastal Oil company and a direc tor of the Denver National bank. He was &’ Republican and was active in Liberty Loan drives during the war, and community chest -work in more recent years. ATHENS ENTERED ON NEW DEAL TODAY AS NRA SET-UP STARTS (Continued From Page One) proceeds from a particular busi ness are not large enough to meet the minimum wage schedule. How ever, the committee is charged with the responsibility of carry ing out the general aims of NRA: —higher wages, shorter hours and increased employment. The chamber of commerce has been so busy assisting in putting the code into ¢ffect, that no sur vey has begn possible regarding increased Qmp]oyment,‘ but a sur vey will be held as soon as possi ble to determine what effect ap plication of the code in Athens has had on employment. It is known that in certain instances additional help has, been obtained here as a result of the NRA pro gram and,_of course, the effect of increased é:ries and wages will be felt almost immediately. NRA emblems may be obtained at the postoffice upon presentation UNTIL WE LEARNED BETTER - ' Until we learned better, we used to mix wood and steel in our car bodies and wheels. ; It was the best way to make bodies--then. But the state of the art has advanced. ; . , Of course, it is more expensive to make an all-steel body than to make a wooden frame and nail steel panels on to it. The better way in volves an initial expenditure of several millions of dollars for new dies, which renders a change very costly. Cars, especially large expensive cars which are produced in small volume, cannot afford this, because the dies cost as much for one car as for a million. That alone explains why all steel bodies are not used in all cars. : But our basic policy from the beginning is to make a good car better, regardless of cost. e IR T For example, when we discarded wood-steel body construction, it was not because Wwe lacked wood. We still have some thousands of acres of the : pest hard wood in America. Economy would urge us to use up the wood first, and then adopt the pbetter all-steel body. But we decided that quality was more important than expense. We weighed the reasons, for and against, before we made the change. We could see only one reason for retaining a mixed wood-and-steel body ——nailing the metal on, instead of welding an all-steel body into a strong one-piece whole. That reason was, it would be cheaper—-for us. Our reasons for adopting an all-steel body were these: A wood-steel body is not much stronger structurally than its wooden frame. In all * ‘ American climates, wood construction weakens with age. Every used car lot gives evidence of this. Rain seeps in between joints and the wood decays. A car may have a metal surface, and yet not be of steel comstruction. Under extreme shock or stress the steel body remains intact--dented per haps, but not crushed. ; Steel does not need wood for strength or protection. Wood is fine for furniture, but not for the high speed vehicles of 1933. In the Ford body there are no joints to squeak, no seams to crack or leak. The all-steel body is more expensive--to us, but not to you. By all odds, then, steel bodies seem preferable. Wheels also have become all-steel. No one argues that an electrically welded one-piece steel wheel, such as ther Ford wheel, needs to be wstrengthened" by adding wood to it. : The one-piece all-steel body is the strongest, safest, quietest, most durable body made. That is our only reason for making them. July 31, 1933 fl %& . of a certificate showing that the employer has signed the vpluntary agreement with the President. Athens’ employers, as well as MEMBER i Our WE DO OUR PART , We Believe the comnlete co-operation of all employers— employees and consumers with both the Letter and the Spirit of the National Recovery Act will quickly bring back to the United States that Prosperity that is the Purpose of the Act. We Believe that Shorter Hours and Higher Wages will be a great stride forward in the Progress of Civilization . . . Shorter Hours mean a greater period of leisure for the beau tiful things in life . . . Many workers where there have been only a few . . . . Higher Wages mean the opportunity to enjoy a finer Standard of Living. We Consider it not only a Duty but, as well, a Privilege that we can take part in this Movement to the Front . . . We pledge this Company to adhere without deviation to that Code approved for our Craft—in both its Promises and its Purposes. Michael Brothers, | ichael Brothers, Inc. employes, were making mutual ef forts to make the NRA program a success, and patrons of stores to day were awaiting final adoption PAGE THREE of hours by all businessmen in order to do their part in carry ing out the provisions of the great economic experMment.
