Col, G. Defreest Larner, a depu ty administrator over such codes, qas recalling the days when ‘his group sweated to round up hordes of small entrepreneurs for the ugir competition” experiment. oThere are 100,000 Chinese laun drymen «in this country—more oOr less” he said. “And we spent days qving to get the Chinese embassy io teach us how to tell. those guys about the NRA. ‘Eyery time you tried to talk to them about a code they shut up like clams. They all thought we were trying to deport them.” That problem—one among thous ands—was never quite solved. General Johnson, who often re minds you of & bull snorting around after china shops, gave everybody nere the willies when he blew into gan Francisco and insisted on making & speech which had been canceled for him. Then the general, who had been carefully eased out of the labor disputes picture here, fooled the shudderers by fitting into the sit gation very nicely without break ing a single plate. The real story of how Johnson came to be boss mediator out there ig this: . Johnson made his inflammatory drive -the - radicals -out like rats speech over urgent protests of As sistant Secretary of Labor-assist ant NRA Administrator - Special Mediator Ed McGrady, who wanted him to keep quiet. This followed directly the strike committee’s first resolution for arbitration and scemed to threaten the apple-cart. But it developed that Jobhnson had been shouting at dead lions. If he had spoken 24 hours earlier the strike might be going yet. It was just luck he didn't.'He had a set date for a speech and insisted on keeping it. Suddenly the president's Medla tion Board turned to Johnson and asked his aid. They faced tough sessions with certain big employ ers who wanted to take advantage of the strike failure to smash la.bor‘ unions, Johmson has a way with big industrialists. (They have 8-: way with him, too—goodness knows!) His speech had been right§ down their alley. He- had some thing of a whip hand, as ship-i owners still had to get a code trom} lim. And those were the reasons why Jolinson, for all his explosive potentialities and unDODUIa-!"tY1 with labor, was asked to bounce right back into the field of labor disputes. . | Wonder why most of the good stories in ‘Washington have to do with Secretary Ickes.

Firecrackers will soon be pop ing under certain officials of large o-operatives and . other farmer organizations. The AAA = brain trusters, who think they're doing a handsome job toward saving the farmer from his enemies and ad versities, are pretty tired of so called farmer leaders whom they dccuse of playing in cahoots with ‘middle men” at the expense of both farmers and consumers. Dairy co-operative leaders, for. instance, are fighting the present milk plan by demanding imposition 0f set retail prices in addition to the guaranteed price to consumers. This solicitude for large milk distributors, who have been shown 10 make profits of 16 to 30 per Cent, originally caused AAA to set resale prices. which soon proved unenforceable because small inde hendents could pay farmers more than wag required and charge con- Sumers less.

But I'm puiting the Georgia Power company, and all of them . on notice that they're all going to be treated aliks and that #hen I get to be governor ail their monetary infiuence can’t save them frem their just burden of taxation.” Judge Pittman said the people of Georgia realized that before the state can “hope to retain her place in the nation and to climb again to the position as the ‘empire state of the South,’ many appoin tees of Governor Talmadge in the state capitol must be swept out and the group there replaced by honorable, patriotic and unselfish citizens.” The candidate for governor dis cussed his platform in detail Judge Pittman was slated to speak in the superior court room at the courthouse but the large crowd could not find space and so the address was transferred to the larze shaded square in rfront of the courthouse. Various estimates of the size of the crowd ran al] the way from 500 to 2,500. Estimates taken from ten persons in the gathering, added together and averaged placed it at about 1,500. A large part of those attending were from - surrounding counties, a goodly springling of Clarke county citizens being noticed. This afternoon Judge Pittman was scheduled to speak at a bar becue in Covington.
