Court Injunction
ATLANTA, Ga.—(P\—The Whit

Grange, enjoined in United States
court by the NRA for paying less
than code wages on two contracts,
today apparently was the low bid-
Ider on another big state-aid pro

‘lower than code wages is permis
sible under Highway department
' regulations :
’ It was the first time the Whit
ley company, headed by John
Whitley, close personal and politi
cal friends of Governor Talmadge,
had bid since the injunction was
‘ granted.
The proposal on the Whitley
lcompany was on the paving of
8.123 miles of road on the La
‘Grange-Chipley . highway, / which
would give Atlanta another all
lpaved road to Columbus via La-
Grange, The Whitley big was
$128,028.58.
The bids will be checked over
by Highway department engineers
and the awards will be announced
formally later today. The next
lowest bid on the Chipley project
was submitteq by the Espy Pav

White House Efforts
To Bury Hatchet Are
Becoming Noticeable
WASHINGTON—(P)—Efforts to
bury the hatchey that has gleamed
in several exchanges between
iPresident Roosevelt and some lead
ers of business are becoming ap
parent.
Signs that the White House and
some spokesmen for business are
finding more common ground in
their approach to certain recovery
problems were understood today
when it became eclear that Presi.
dent Roosevelt’s intentions on rural
housing bear marked resemblances
to the views of Henry I. Harriman,
president of the chamber of com
merce of the United States.
The president let it be known
vesterday that he favors an expan
sion of rural building activities, asl
well as slum clearance. The home
building in rural communities,'
which fits into Mr. Roosevelt’s of
ten-stressed ideas for decentraliza
tion of industry was described as
aimed to get people off relief rolls, |
About the same time, in a speechl
at Memphis, Tenn. Harriman was
tackling the problems of ‘“unem
ployment and economic insecurity”
in similar vein.
“The real cure of the situation,”
