Change From Price Fixing And Produc- tion Control to Com- petitive S y s t e m Seen. '

(By William L. Beale, Associated Press Stuff Writer)

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

WASHINGTON, Oct. il-Uncov- ering s. probable change of course for NRA, Donald R. Richberg, re- covery coordinator, advised busi- ness tcday to leave the “lopsided guild socialism" of price fixing and production control in. favor of “the old competitive system."

He labelled an "irridescent dream” the belief oi some indus- trialists that permanent prosperity can be obtained through the price fixing, production limiting method. At the same time he asserted such practices were justified in emer- gencles to prevent the waste of natural resources.

Code Changes

These statements, coming from the direction of the policy commit- tee which is directing the Blue Eagle's course. were interpreted im- mediately as pointing from fixed prices and limited production in NRA codes The gradual repoening of all major codes on these issues was forecast.

Businessme themselves, Rich- berg said, had been thoroughly "disillusioned" -in a yaar oi code application in the price and pro- duction control they desired. These same industrial ranks frankly were questioning the wisdom of their own provisions, he added. He pro- jected a process of working out the good in codes "industry by indus- try."

There were other maim- develop- ments in the business field during the day. Shortly before Richberg; spoke, President Roosevelt was given assurances by Francis Law, President of the American Bankers Association, that "the banks of this country by and large are in good. sound and strong position."

Begin Poll

Simultaneously. in New York, the National Association of Manu- facturers began a poll of thous- ands oi industrialists on the ques- tion of the government's relation to business. NRA's code system of

were subjects included in the ques- tionnaire. .

Richberg said the new National Industrial Recovery Board which‘ has been meeting continuously for three days organizing its code ed- ministratlon job, will exercise all the powers previously held by Hugh S. Johnson.

"There will be nothing between this board and the President," he said.

Premier Ramsay Mac- Donald Returns to London Much Im- proved in Health.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

IONDON. Oct. 4—Prime Min- ister Ramsay MacDonald returned today after his long holiday in Canada and Newfoundland, feeling in the best of spirits-but with his political future a pAme subject of unofficial speculation,

In London

The Premier arrived in London from ldverpool with his daughter Ishbel, talking delightedly of his holiday experiences and comment- ing on President Franklin Roose- velt's references to the way Brit- ain had grappled with the depres- sion. Incidentally, he scoffed at the repeated rumors that he would become Governor-General of Can- ada some time in the future. Oi this. he merely said he was al- ways delighted to read newspaper reports, "but I cannot guarantee to believe everything they say."

Premier MacDonald remarked he had just read a report of Presid- ent Rooeevells speech of Sunday “in which he pointed out it was not by a ‘do nothing’ policy that this country had made progress out 0d’ the depression.

"He is in the position of being a/ble to survey us from afar," Mr.

mann had in his possession maps of pertinent areas in the abduction.

Foley said l-fauptmann had por-_

frayed frflm memory minute de- tails of these maps.

"We absolutely will resist," Faw- cett said. "any effort the state oi New Jersey may make to extradite this defendant.

‘Fhere has been such a mass of detail to be sifted that in the short time at our disposal it is difficult to prepare for trial. We are seeking to delay the case only in the in- tcrest of justice."

‘Phe trial is ‘ocketed for next Thursday.

MacDonald added. "As President Roosevelt remarked with accuracy. no intelligent observer can accuse this country of undue orthodoxy in the present emergency. Vlfhert orthodoxy ms appeared a wise guide, we have been orthodox; where the orthodoxy of the last few generations has appeared to cease to correspond with condit- ions, we have been unorthodox and have hewed out new lines."

Liked Cape Breton

He said he liked Cape Breton beet of the places he had visited, although other places were splen- diid. "I like Cape Breton," the Scot added, "because the High- landers are settled there in such large numbers. I heard the most beautiful Gaelic there." l-le added he found the Maritime Provinces as a. whole "extremely beautiful."

Mr. MacDonald conferred with Stanley Baldwin, (mnservative leader and deputy Prime Minister. and other colleagues. Tomorrow he will undergo an eye examination.

Sister Ship of Freigh- ter Mallpool Ploughs 'I‘hr0ugh Heavy Seas Off Labrador.

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

HALIFAX, Oct. L-Through the heaving seas off Labrador-Ks storrn- swept coast a snub-nosed steamer ploughed tonight in search oi the British freighter Mlllpooi, disabled by storm and unreported for two days after sending out frantic SOS calls.

The searching ship-the Wearpool, of the same line as the Millpool— was following the storms line of drift in a southeasterly direction, hoping to overtake the stricken ves- sel drifting before the whistling gale from the northeast.

Combed Seas

She was believed tonight to be the only ship now seeking the Mill- pool-and the crew of 26 who manned her when she ran into the howler Tuesday on a voyage from Danzig to Montreal. Three ships had combed the angry seas before her- thc liner Ascania and the freighters Beaveriord and Beaverhill-but the Ascania and Beaverhill resumed their voyages yesterday, and no word was received today from the ‘leaver- ford.

Fate of the disabled ship remain- ed a mystery. Since Tuesday night her radio had been silent to listening ships and shore stations, and fears were expressed along the seaboard that she might have gone down.

Terse Messages

Terse messages received before the wireless went suddenly dead told of damage to the ship by huge waves and of her main-topmost being car- ried away by the wind. With the mast went the wireless antenna, and the final messages crackled into the air over an emergency aerial.

She was then about 700 miles off the Iobrador shore. but when the speeding ships reached the position she had given there was no trace oi the Millpool. It was not until to- day that the Wear-pool reached the spot, after swerving away from her course from Botwood. Nild. to Eng- land, and racing back toward Lab- radar.

Bhe reported immediately to Cen- mdsls east coast radio at Belle 1519 that she was taking up the Search. and the message was relayed to the station in Halifax. The Wearpool did not indicate how long 5116 WWW continue hunting for the missing v l.

Sixty-three persons were arrested, and it was found that 50 of them were armed.

The general strike was called by radical elements as a protest Main-il- the Centrist and Rightist govern- ment oi Premier Alejandro Lienroux. The Premier and his new 11111115- ters indicated thcy were taking a firm stand. and in quarters close to the cabinet it was reported a de- cree of martial law has been drawn up and is ready for promulgation.

While Madrid was tense with the expectation of revolutionary out- bursts, disquieting reports were re- ceived tonight from Barcelona, ca- pital of autonomous Catalonia. These reports stated the generality of Catalonia had issued orders that military forces in the region were to obey only the commands of gen- erality oificinls.

Direct Challenge

Try. action was interpreted as a direct challenge t0 the Madrid gov- ernment in the event martial law were decreed.

Just before the strike was called the new Premier, in an eloquent speech accepting the oince from the hands of former Premier Ri- cardo Samper ibanez, whose gov- ernment was forced out of cflicc Monday, said:

“I will permit no one, absolutely no one, to prejudice the interests of the republic by acts disrupting the public peace."

Simultaneously, the executive com- mittee of the left Republican party, most powerful of the political groups opposing Ierroux, declared formally that “the handing over of the re- public to its enemies is a. monstrous deed which forces us to sever all rc- lationships with everyone czonnected with the regime."

The party announced it would "resort to every means available in the defence of the republic.”

The word "enemies" referred os- tensibly to the Rightlst Coalition— the Confederacion Espanola. Dere- chns Autonomas —- which provided Lei-roux with his most potent back- ma.

Armed Camp

Madrid was virtually an armed cgmp e5 gpeelgl assault. guards in trucks patrolled Socialist and Coin- munist quarters of the city, where workmen gathering in ominous little groups voiced predictions that "much blood will flow." and soldiers ‘were held in barracks under special ord- crs.
