NRA IS DENOUNCED
BY HARROW BOARD
CHARGE RETAIL TRADE CODE
RUINED BY CHANGES
AFTER SUBMITTED
WASHINGTON. June 12 (/P)—A
new denunciation against NRA
methods, and codes was filed with
the President by the Darrow re-
view board. It contained a demand
for a searching inquiry into the “Ar-
bitrary exercise of power" by Hugh
Johnson.
Saying that “the rule of a military
commander is totally unsulted to the
genius, habits, traditions of
psychology of the American people,’’
the board found the retail trade code
had been in a "Stealthy manner
ruined" by NRA changes made after
it had been submitted by the indus-
try.
At a press conference, Johnson la-
beled the charge “ridiculous."

Is Still Quiet
Along Coast
BROWNSVILLE, June 12 (IP) —
Weather observers confronted with
normal barometers were at a toss
today to account for the strange be-
havior of the gulf hurricane,, as a
northeast wind subsided to a gentle
breeze.
Pan-American Airways reported
the barometer at Tampico normal,
and the weather bureau at Wash-
ington said Mexican reports indi-
cate the tropical disturbance has
turned southeastward. Its position
now is probably about 128 miles
northeast of Vera Cruz.
Plan on Improvements
Work of widening and improving the Shamrock-to-
Magic City road to make it one of the beat county highways,
atartB Monday, according to members of the Shamrock
chamber of commerce highway committee and board mem-
bers, following a meeting with the Magic City representa-
tives last night at the local office, when final plans and ar-
rangements for the road were threshed out.
Members of the two groups announced that right-of-
way is secured for the road, so that it may be widened and
the improvements started.
C. W. Wells, commissioner, will be in charge of the
actual work. Committeemen hope to get appropriations for
this as a work project under the relief agencies, but in any
case it will Ire made into a first-class highway, graded, oiled
and probably some gravel on the worst sections, so that it
will correspond to pavement.
Members of the two groups expressed their appreciation
today to landowners who dohated the right-of-way along the
road, and also to the citizens of the two towns who have co-
operated in urging the road.
Improvement of the Magic City road will be a big
faqtor in bringing more business from the oil fields in the
northwest part of Wheeler county to Shamrock.
