O'Neill Named By The President As New Admin trator Of NRA Law TWO OTHERS CHOSEN FOR DIVISION JOBS Leon C. Marshall To Gather Data On Bosinese And Industry; Prentiss L. Coonley To .Head Section .Charged With Helping Business Set Up Own Codes. Washington, June 16 ? President Roosevelt built a new NRA tonight on the ruins of what was left of the or ganization outlawed by the Supreme Court. He issued an executive order that will continue the framework of the re covery agency until April 1, 1936, and named three men to guide It Hie new NRA administrator will be James L. O'Neill, vice-president of the Guaranty Trust Company, New York, who has been control officer of the agency. To gather data on business and in dustry, Mr. Roosevelt created the Di vision of Review. At its head he placed Leon C. Marshall, a member of the seven-man NRA board that went out of existence today. The president also made provisions for business firms that desire to main tain voluntary codes by creating a Division of Business Co-operation. To head that he named Prentiss L. Coon ley, a code administration director. Berry Assistant George L. Berry was named assist ant to the administrator to represent Labor, and an NR1A advisory council consisting of the following was ap pointed: Charles Edison, son of the late in ventor, Howell Cheney, Phillip Murray, Emily Newell Blair; William Green, president of the American Federa tion of Labor and Walton Hamilton. Mr. Roosevelt said the reduction of NRA personnel ? now at 5,400 ? would be made gradually. He hinted that some time there might be legislations sent to Congress to bulwark the present ? stop-gap arrangement when he said: "So long as there is possibility of further legislation, it will be desirable to maintain the general structure of the Recovery Administration In Wash ington and in field offices, and to re tan those essential members of a train ed personnel who can be usefully em ployed. There will be lasting values In a careful appraisal of the two-year ac complishment of NRA and in pre serving- for permanent use the records of that experience. "A steady, but gradual reduction of personnel is, therefore, a sound public policy which will avoid Imposing un due hardships on faithful public em ployes who can continue to render a service of exceptional value to the governmen. "It will be necessary, of course, to retain a sufficient field force to report on the effects of code abolition. This will include information covering the changes in labor and fair practice standards." o 1SABELL WALKER HAS RETURNED HOME Isabell Walker, who has been in the hispttal In Gastonia for more than 12 months, has returned home.

Date Not Set Yet Now that sore limbs are just about well again and the taste of defeat is beginning to get sour in the mouths of the Rotarians, they want to play another ball game. And the Kiwan ians, proud of their win last week, are just as anxious to risk their laurels in another encounter. So, it may be that the two clubs will engage in another affray on the high school grounds next week, the date not having been definitely set as yet. How ever, it is thought that they will play on Tuesday, June 25. Claud Hall says that his arm is in fine shape to pitch against the Ki wanians, and, if he should not be able to pitch, that Howard Strang will no doubt be glad to handle the mound position. Somebody suggested that -a hard ball be used in the next game, but Otey McBroom and Carton' McGregor say that the one that was used was hard enough. r ? The Important Thing Is. To Cor \ rect Abuses. Not To Abol ish A Useful Instrument Washington, D. C., June 17 ? "I see no more reason for abolishing the hold ing company merely because abuses have crept into its operation than I do for abolishing the automobile be cause of the disasters which come from reckless drivers," Owen D. Young, Democratic leader and Chairman of the Board of the General Electric Com pany, stated in a letter which he wrote to Senator B. K. Wheeler of Montana. "The important thing is to restrain and correct the abuses and not to abolish a useful instrument," said Young. "I am convinced that the holding company is a very useful in strument through which to group ut ility operating companies which, by their nature, must.be local, into an ef ficient economic unity. In this way the cost of power can be reduced, ser vice can be given to communities which could not otherwise obtain it and the safety of the investment can be increased through the diversity fac tor over what it would be in any one of the individual operating companies." Mr. Young, in his letter, quoted testi mony he gave recently before a Sub Committee, of the Senate in which he stated that "there is a very real rea son for having holding companies. There is a great advantage, not only from the standpoint of connecting different units with transmission, but there is a great advantage on the technical side in unifying those dif ferent operating companies; and there is also on the financial side justifica tion for it through diversifying the risk. You can only ' get diversitjr in the public utility field through a hold ing companiy whereas in the manufac turing business you are able to get it by one straight operating company." ?o Commissioners Act Favorably On Health Setup Tri-Coanty Health Proposal Gets Fav orable Action At Hands Of The Commissioners The County Board of Commissioners, in session here today, passed with fav orable action the proposal to set up a three county health organisation, con sisting of Person, Orange, and Caswell counties.

During Campaign Against In fantile Paralysis Keep Chil dren Away From Public Gatherings Since the cases of Infantile Paralysis have begun to increase, the State Board of Health has been called upon to give advice concerning travel in North Car olina and the advisability of attending summer camps, etc., in the State. We have advised that children under fif teen years of age avoid crowds regard less of whether Sunday Schools, church es, theatres, summer camps, picnics, iiarties, or neighborhood gatherings. For this reason swimming pools should also not be patronized by this group. All health departments have received the above instructions concerning In fantil Paralysis from the State Board of Health Department, but our know ledge of Infantile Paralysis leads us to believe that there is a possibility of there being a greater number of cases during thd months of June and July, with probably the peak of incidence be ing reached in the first two weeks of August. Therefore, we hope that the parents in Roxboro and Person County will co-operate with us in keeping their children from public places. HEALTH DEPARTMENT 0 Mrs. Eaton Rogers Buried Sunday P.M.
