All NRA Codes To Be Opened For Revisions Washington — Admitting that inconsistencies crept into the more than 200 hastily assembled NRA codes, Recovery Administration officials are preparing to throw the entire batch open for possible re vision. Before the end of the month, the NRA will call what Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, Recovery Administra tor describes as "one of the most significant of public conferences ever held.’ Every code which has been ap proved will be thoroughly scrutin ized in the light of what has been learned since they were put into operation, said General Johnson: "Then the world and his brother —anybody who has the slightest grievance—will have his day in court with everything wide open.” General Johnson admits that klnn^prc mitr klVP kppn Pf* J rors of judgment and of action. It may be also, foe admits, that somebody has tried to "put some thing over.” But he emphasizes the "job was done in a goldfish bowl” and nothing was hidden; he insists nobody will find a substan tial fundamental error of policy. The plan to reconsider all codes comes at a time when voices raised against the NRA have (reached the greatest volume since the Re covery Act was passed. In Cong ress charges have been hurled that the NRA oppresses the “little fel low” and promotes monopoly. NRA proponents have replied that if NRA oppresses anybody > it does not do so by monopolistic tendency. - —Buy in Salisbury— Helped By CardiA Here’s the true story of how Car dui helped Mrs. H. E. Dunaway, of McComb, Miss., as written by herself: “I was sick and rather discour aged. I was so weak and thin; I was not able to do my work as it should be done. This made me fret a good deal, and did not help my condition. “I had pains across my back and lower part of my body. My nights were spent in rolling from one side of the bed to the other, hoping I would soon go to sleep. Then when morning would come, I would be just as tired as when I went to bed. A neighbor, seeing how badly I felt, told me to try Cardui. After I had taken one bot tle, I was much better. I kept on taking Cardui, and I was stronger and slept much better at night’’ PATTERSON ITEMS Feb. 10 th was Community night at Patterson hall, the at tendance was good, considering the cold weather, the main features of the program were, a good talk by Rev.
