WASHIN TON — The recovery
oeram, in the case of its very
ot big NRA code—cotton tex
hles—finds itesll back in what look
uspiciously like those good old de
wession days of rugged individual -
km when employers were being
norted to “share the work” at
L worker's expense.
Hundreds of thousands of mill
ers—are striking. The in
itself is sore. Consumers,
;“.F’»;_.;hz at high prices, refuse to
a. The New Deal's brave at
empt to make everybody happy
ems to be, in this important and
mbarrassing instance, at least a
mporary tlop
r NRA consequently is doing
bme heavy thinking. What do
ou do when an industry can't sell
is goods? And when the textlle
oker's average weekly wage
rops below sll as a result of an
fficially approved curtailment pro
am reducing the maximum work
eek from 40 to 30 hours?
In the cotton garment industry,
resident Roosevelt ordered a re
otion to 36 hours with a com
bensato 10 per cent wage in
rease—and the industry is defy
he him. But the NRA Research
nd Planning division reported the
otton textile industry could not
tand a boost in hourly wages. It
ven decided the union’s demand
permanent 80-hour week
nustn't be granted,)
NRA gets little credit for heavy
inking, as General Johnson has
hal a way of suppressing its
brain trusters.” Economists and
tatisticians frequently produce
igures and facts which NRA is
hot preparcd to admit, because they
fon't sound nice.
The only way I can prove that
his high-powered brain work and
het-facing actually d 2 go on with
h NRA is to cite a. couple of very
onfidential studies and reports by
fietor S, von Szeliskl, assistant to
Director Leon Henderson of Re
eirch and Planning,, He helned
r. Alexander Sachs organize that
fivision in early NRA days, prior
0 which he was a research econ
pmist for the New York Federal
Reserve Bank.
“This share the work movement,
py which roughly 100,000 additienal
extile workers were taken on, has
come a share-the-unemployment
povement,” he reports to the NRA
ierarchy. “What does it avail
he textile worker that his hourly
ate is 15 per cent above 1929—0 n
he average—if he only gets $0
lours—or less—of work each week?
Workmen have to live on their pay
hecks, not hourly rates.”

ON HOOVER MOTIVE
Wonders If Former Pres
ident Is Preparing For
Return to White House
WASHINGTON.— (&) —Politi
cal Washington wondered today if
Herbert Hover plapned an at
tempt to return to the White
House.
The speculation—entirely infor
mal thus far—was stirred by an
article the former President pub
lished in the current issue of the
Saturday Evening Post.
. This was the first time since he
left the White House on March 4,
1933, that Mr. Hoover has pub
licly, expressed his views on polit
ical questions. He has written a
book giving his opinions in
greater detail which will be pub
lished late this month.
The former President asserted
the New Deal is a usurpation of
liberty, and was challenged
promptly by Secretary Ickes.
“When he speaks of liberty he
is talking of the rights of prop
erty,” said the intrepid depart
ment head, a former Republlcan.‘
He added in a statement to news
papermen:
“Does he mean the liberty of a
special class to build up fortunes
and exploit qthers less fortunate
or the liberty of the people to
have jobs and decent homes in
which to live?”
“The man who sees special priv
ileges that he and his friends
have exercised checked in any way
immediately complains of an in
vasion of liberty.”
Other officials remained silent
pending a study of the article.
Whatever a former President
does is watched closely by the po
litical leaders for straws in the
wind as to his intentions. Mr.
Hoover has given no inkling of

French Seaman Tells of Month
Spent as Captive of Smugglers
NEW YORK.—(™\—The kidnap
ing of a French seaman by an in
ternational gang of smugglers
and his torture during a month of
captivity were disclosed by fed
eral investigators today after 20
government agents, armed with
submachine guns, had arrested
two men and a woman.
The seaman, Wiliam Rosen, or
Guillamare “Rosen, identified one
of the prisoners as the leader of
the gang and the man in whose
Brooklyn . apartment he was held
captive. He identified the man’s
wife who cooked for him during
his imprisonment.
Investigators said Rosen, a sea
man of the French liner Cham
plain, was abducted because he
threw a package into the sea, be
lieving it contained potash. In
stead, it held narcotics valued at
40,000 francs ,$2,400).
The arrests were made in a raid
early today on the apartment
where Rosen said he was held
captive. Those seized were identi
fied as Salvatore Mancuso, 28;
his wife, Nellie, 25, and Dominick
