Johnson Claims Re covery Surging Forward i | | , ,| Describes Results Al ready Achieved A s "Seventh Wonder Of The World" Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 23.?Hugh S. Johnson, addressing an NRA rally to night, called the results obtained so far by the Roosevelt recovery pro-! gram a "seventh wonder of the1 world," and assailed its denouncers as "leaders, guides and scouts of the old road to ruin." Speaking not only of his own divi sion, b-t of the entire recovery en terprise, Johnson said the experi ment already "'has produced 25 per cent of the results expected of it," and he predicted that business was on the verge of another forward surge. This was Johnson's first address as NRA head in the Southwest, and part of his speech was directed specially at Southern problems; but most of it was given over to a new assault on the "tom-tom beaters," the "corporals of disaster"* and "discredited leaders of an old economic system?social Neanderthalers who are out to stop the recovery program." He spoke in the Atlanta city audi torium and the address was carried nationally by the Columbia Broad casting System. * - ? ; j . Predicting a new upturn, ne saiu; "I hold in my hand Dun and Bradstreet's review for November. You cannot turn a page of that most intimate of reports without finding the signs of recovery. The full flood of the President's program had not yet struck the country by the end of November, but it will soon be here. Business is on the verge of another forward surge. "The self-serving attacks on NRA have failed. Confidence in it is grow ing as the industries get the full benefit of their codes. It has borne too hard on some" small enterprises. That is being corrected. Using it as an excuse, some prices have been raised too far. That is being cor- ' rected. Compliance has been too loosely enforced. A nation-wide mechanism is being set up for that. "The speed of the various moving parts of the President's whole ma chine is being equalized. A rears which have been slow in receiving benefits are beginning to feel them. Gains are being consolidated." Then came his claim of 25 per cent recovery, the "seventh wonder And 'for this relief much thanks' from 95 per cent of the American people," he continued, "but?from the leaders, guides and scouts of the old roads to fuin?what? Strident clamoring?a few little men with loud voices, frantically waving puny red flags of false and futile warn ings in the path of the resist leas ad vance of a great people?126,000,000 strong?united by suffering in a com mon purpose, but mutual sacrifice Linberghs Will Fly Ocean Again Coming Home by Way Of Southern Route to Brazil; Go to Senegal Next Pounta Delgada, St Michael Is land, the Azores, Nov. 23.?Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh plan to fly over the south altantic, it was learned today, on the homeward leg of their five-months' odyssey. They will take off from Senegal, a French colony in the extreme west ern part of Africa, and will presum ably follow the shortest route to Re cife (Perambuco), Brazil, a trail blaz ed by Captain James A. Mallison, Bert Hinkler, Jean Mermoz, and others. The itinerary by which they will visit two more continents on their aerial survey tour before returning to the United States was announced unexpected by Colonel Lindbergh just as the Americans started a short hop this afternoon from Horta to this commercial center of the Abores. TWO WORK PROJECTS IN EASTERN CAROLINA Manteo, Nov. 23.?The planting of 300,000 to 350,000 bushels of oys ters to areas in the Roanoke, Croatan and Pamlico Sounds where they will mature and thrive will be the major project for Dare county under the civil works program, it was announced today by T. S. Meekins, local adlnin istrator. Plans for the project has already been submitted by Mr. Meekins to W. T. Morse, State project supervisor. Another important project, wliiuh the local administrator thinks w3I be of great benefit to the county as a whole, is one to control mosquito breeding. Projects have been sub mitted for draining areas on Roanoke Island and at Nag's Head where mosquitoes breed. and co-operation and under the in spiring leadership of a great cap tain of humanity, to march out of the deep dark valley of death and despond, into the suhshinq of a new and better "day which has already' gilded their brows with the light of dawning confidence, faith and hope, for the first time in four years." Johnson paid tribute to the mass of business men, big and little, say ing their response to NRA "has been one of the most inspiring chapters in its history. ? It has been my observa tion that industrial leaders who have been parts of NRA itself rapidly be come converts and then zealots for what is being done to improve iru= dustry." ? ?? "? ?

Uni?S?JSfeS^At jMorgenthau Off To See Presitfent at Warm Springs Acting Secretary of The Treasury Praises Di rector Douglas and Governor Black Washington, Nov. 23.?With a word of praise for two high govern mental fiscal officers who are in dis agreement with the administration on monetary policy, Acting Secretary Morgenthau left tonight to discuss the progress of the currency program with President Roosevelt at Warm Springs, Ga. At his daily press conference, just before leaving, he expressed a high regard for Lewis Douglas, director of the budget and Eugene R. Black, governor of the Federal Reserve Board, both monetary conservatives and an expectation of working side by side with them through the vital months ahead. With attention tocussea on govern ment bond prices as the result of predictions by" critics of the Roose velt program that the nation's credit was threatened with collapse, ' the weekly statement of the Federal Re serve system showed today that re serve banks sold $1,000,000 worth of federal securities this week at a time when the treasury was buying with its surplus funds. This was disclosed soon after it had been learned that the federal advisory council, an arm of the re serve system, had adopted a resolu tion opposing the Roosevelt program. Some were quick to interpret the action as a break between the Treas ury and the Reserve Board, but of ficials, saying nothing publicly, "Were inclined to regard this as an exag geration Morgenthau said yester day that the Treasury was purchas ing the securities with surplus funds of various government agencies placed with it for investment,' The appointment of. Roswell Ma gill of Columbia University, as the treasury's tax advisor was announc td today by Morgenthau. He will replace Harold M. Groves of the University of Wisconsin, who, ap pointed a short while before Mor genthau took charge of -the treas ury ? was unable, the acting secre tary said, to meet civil service re quirements.

' I President Roosevelt ignored the con troversy in the press over his com modity dollar program ,.U>day and to morrow he will project his monetary policy ahead in a meeting with Act ing Secretary Morgenthau. The President is saying nothing about the criticism voiced in the last few days unless his call for a fighting policy in his talk of yester day could be attributed to the money dispute. So, there is every sign here that he is going to carry on his announced , dollar revaluation plan with new ef fort rather than any relaxation of if. Also, there is every indication that ( he will make no public reply to the , critics and let the results speak for ( themselves. That is the view of those , about him. ( Intimates of Mr. Roosevelt express- \ ed no surpSsei at the public criticism ? voiced by James M, Warburg. The \ views of Warburg and 0. M. W. Spra- j gue, who were financial advisors to ] the London economic delegation, were overruled against immediate currency j stabilization at the London parley. j Persistent rumors from Wall Street < that the President might discuss his j monetary program in a talk he makes here tomorrow nightl brought a nega- j tive opinion from those who know Mr. \ Roosevelt best. ] The meeting here tomorrow night ( due depositors.

In his own words, Russia's foreign minister goes "very well satisfied" with I the visit which, beginning on November 7th, re-established normal relations after a 16-year gap and 1 broke ground for an understanding on i $700,000,000 to $800,000,000 of Amer- ! ican debts and private claims. I A final settlement on the latter is- 1 sue and Russia's own claims for the armed expedition into Archangel, proved too big a task for the 16-day stay. Litvincff and President Roose- : velt exchanged views on "methods o'f. settling" these. - 1 :'r- : ' i I.'iWi."-' r , ? . . .. i ?y ii in ??? ? . .i i - ,J County prizes of 300 and 200 pounds of nitrate of soda is offered com club members of Jforth Carolina for high acre yields cf. corn in 1938 T>y the Chilean Nitrate of Soda Educational Bureau.
