IIAl.ES United Press Staff Correspondent OKLAHOMA CITY. July 27.— (UP).—Gov. William II. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray of Oklahoma, who favors the whipping post for hard ened criminals and the death sen tence for habitual law brcakeis, declared yesterday that the pioh lem of crime was too deep-rooted for mere punishment, no matter how harsh, to stamp it out. “So long as judges turn traitor; so long as the rich control govern ment for selfish motives and get away with light punishments, biib ing congressmen and legislatois; so long as the educator thinks more of equipment, frills and sal aries than his sacred mission to train citizenship—so long as these things continue, criminality will continue,” he believes. Governor Murray is at present face to face with on.e of the two unsolved current kidnapings in the United States, that of Charles i F. Urschel, millionaire oil man. j Punishment will not overcome 1 crime until Americans get a re spect for law and fair play, he L convinced. “It will lake something morel than punishment to stop criminal- j ity,” he said. “It will take train-1 ing in youth to respect constitut ed authority. “We must train our youth to eicct’judges who will sustain their <>ath«, do justice between man and man, yield vUot to the power of wealth or influence.” In the meantime, while striking at what he considers the source of crime, this lack of respect for law, “Alfalfa Bill” would give the convicted criminals punishment “that they might remember for a while. ' His recent request to the legis lature, asking that the whipping post he established, was in line! with this idea, , ' ■ JULY WEATHER NEAR NORMAL Temperature Depa r t u r e Less Than Half A De gree To Date Temperatures for the month of July to date have varied from the July normal by less than half h degree, aeeording to T.

CIRCUMVERTING THE RECOVERY ACT CHARGED WASHINGTON, July 20 (UP) --.John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of Ameri ca, yesterday invited government action to bring peace to the Fay ette county, Pennsylvania, coal fields where four striking miners already have been shot. In a letter to Secretary of La bor Frances Perkins. Lewis charg ed that on June 1st 'when it be came apparent that the Recovery Act would be passed by congress, the H. C. Frick Coke company, hastened to form a company un ion. The miners, Lewis explained, disregarded this effort and in stead became affiliated with the United Mine Workers after adop tion of the Recovery Act. Since then, the letter said, officials of the Frick Co., “sought to create conditions of resentment among their employes which would just ify their discharge for other than the illegal reason of being members of the United Mine Workers.” A strike followed. Lewis said company officials had declined his offer to meet in Fayette coun ty with them and attempt to bring peace. On July 27, he charged, four miners were shot down by alleged agents of the company.

(UP)— Adolph Rohrback, famous Germ an aviation designer, disclosed last night some of the secrets of a unique new airplane which he said would fly forward, back ward, hover motionless or rise and descend almost vertically. Rohrhach calls the new craft a “unlauffluegel flugzeug.” It has no propeller. It was no wings. It resembles a flying reaping machine. Its designer expects it to solve some of modern avia tion’s most perplexing problems, extending the benefits of the auto-gyro type. Locomotion and lifting power are provided by the revolving contraptions which sprout from the fuselage of the plane at the point which other airplanes have wings. These contraptions are six, blade-like horizontal fins, three on each side,, which revolve in a circle around two axial bars connected with the motor, which is inside the plane. I The first plane built on this design is a cabin ship which will carry four to seven persons and do 100 miles an hour. “There is no reason why these planes cannot flv at 175 to 200 miles an hour,” Rohrbach told the United Press. “The first plane is intended purely for ex perimentation. With a more powerful motor, it should reach speeds comparable to those of modern commercial craft” The direction of flight Is changed by reversing the motor, so that backward speed will bei only slightly less than forward.; Descent and ascent are regulated by the angle of the blades. “When my experiments are com plete, I expect to manufacture the plane on a commercial basis. I believe it will have a great fu ture, expanding tremendously the possibilities of flying by provid ing a ship that can land and take off in thickly populated cities,” Rohrbach said. NEW JOBS ARE CREATED PAST WEEK BY CODE Wage Section Of N.R.A. Is Interpreted As Manda tory COLLECTIVE BARGAIN PACTS NOT AFFECTED (Copyright by United Press) At least half a million men will go back to work Mon day to new jobs created by President Roosevelt’s NRA code, the United Press re vealed today through a na tion-wide inquiry. A check of two score ma jor American industrial cen ters showed that thousands of new jobs had been opened up in the past few days with hundreds of thousands in [ prospect for next week. By THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 29. (UP) The National Recovery Adminis tration held last night that em ployers, in order to receive thrf "blue eagle" of NRA, must con form with wage provisions of the code, even though this may re quire adjustment of existing labor contracts, The hour schedules under the voluntary agreement must be maintained and an "equitable re adjustment" of wages made on the basis of shortened hours with consideration of circumstances and conditions. There is no fixed rule for adjustments under con tracts. This important section relates to an interpretation of the now famous “section 7” of the code which requires that compensation of employes above the minimum wage group shall not be reduced, even though hours are reduced, and that 'equitable readjustments’ shall be made to increase wage scales above the minimum. The recovery administration, however, leaves to the discretion of the employer whether he will adjust these contracts. Its ruling merely holds that the adjustments must be made by those employers who expect to participate fully in the blanket code. Union labor contracts which affect between 3, 000,000 and 4,000,000 workers are not mentioned by name in tho interpretation. Donald Richberg, counsel of NRA who superintended drafting of the interpretation, when pressed upon this point, gave his own per sonal opinion, as follows: ' “It is not the purpose of this agreement to interfere with main tenance_ of contracts entered into by exercise of collective bargain ing. It does not force the break ing of contracts. No contracts are affected by the agreement. If the employer can't adjust his contract, then he cnn’t sign the agreement. The agreement neither authorizes or requires the breaking of contracts. But the employer can not get the blue eagle until and unless he complies.” He added that public opinion and the influence of labor unions are factors that will be powerful in this situation. The interpretation of the blank et code, which touched upon other matters than "section.7” was is sued last night, after two days of (Continued on page 3.)
