General Farley’s tenure as Democratic

(Copyrighted by the Associated Press)
Washington, May 25. (AP) —Presi-
dentt Roosevelt will stand by the Blue
Eagle of the NRA for the second year
of its emergency flight’
This was crefinitely ascertained to
day amid the whirl of controversy
over the Darrow report, coupled with
word that the chief executive is eager
to hear debate from the country as to
the permanent future of NRA after
June, 1935. j
The President has told inquirers he
is keeping an open mind on just how
far the government should go a year
hence in seeking a permanent ar
ranement bgetween the government,
industry and labor.
He plans to survey the resultt in his
tour across the country this summer.
In the meantime, he intends to stand
pat on the general principles of the
National Recovery Administration*.
New legislation would be necessary
to carry on the NRA in itts present
fqrm after mid-June next year’ Any
such aettion would ge handed to the
next Congress. j
The opposition faction on Capitotl
Hill’ however, showed no signs today
of relaxing its criticism.
There were signs today that Presi
dent Roosevelt might take a definite
hand soon to cut through the confu
sion on NRA which the Darrow
board’s condemnation intensifies.
It appeared probable, however, that
he would first lett the immidate hul
