Blanket Codes
Get New Four
Month Tenure
Washington, Dec. 20.—President
Roosevelt sought to fortify his eco-
nomic recovery machines against any
letdowns Wednesday with two moves
—the extension of his blanket re-em-
1’loyment agreement and the concen-
tration of the many-faceted units of
the national recovery agencies.
The extension for another four
months of the re-employment agree-
ment was designed to cover with the
temporary codes the estimated 30 per
cent of industries which have yet to
come in under the NR A permanent
set-up. Mr. Roosevelt said that “in
the midst of winter and with many
persons out of work it is essential
that the new year should not bring
with it any letdown in the recovery
program in the trades and indus-
tries.”
At the same time, he definitely es-
tablished a policy of tying together
under the direction of a single leader,
Frank C. Walker, the whole recovery
machinery, including the NRA, the

Mt. Pleasant merchants report that
their holiday business has been much
better this season than last, and
closely approach the volume which was
done when good times were at their
height several years ago.
Business in general has been great-
ly stimulated during the past Fall,
because of the money which has been
put in circulation through civil works
projects and governmental relief
work, which has had a wholesome ef-
fect on merchandise buying. The
concerns which have received the most
benefit from the improved conditions
are those which have made liberal
use o fthe pages of the Times Re-
view and Daily Times in telling the
public of the many savings that can
be procured before the price increase
as a result of the NRA codes.
Because of larger stocks to select
from, Mt. Pleasant merchants have
also drawn considerable business
from neighboring towns, visitors from
other places being seen on our streets
daily.
Prospects for 1934 are better than
they have been for a long time, and
local business concerns are very op-
timistic concerning their future busi-
ness.
DISPUTE OVER BODY
DELAYS FUNERAL
Dallas, Dec. 20.—The burial service
went unread and the cemetery lot re-
mained empty today while relatives
went into court in a dispute over the
body of W. A. Burnett, 53, who died
Saturday. As a result, the funeral
was postponed indefinitely, a Dallas
bank was named temporary adminis-
trator of the estate and a hearing
was set on an injunction suit against
the undertaker and the widow, the
latter case involving the estate.
several farm rehabilitation agencies
and the Home Loan Corporations.
The blanket code or agreement was
originally drawn up by the President
to serve for industries until they had
agreed on and signed with the Gov-
ernment permanent codes of fair com-
petition and labor practices. More
than 160 such codes have been ap-
proved by Mr. Roosevelt to date and
he indicated Wednesday he expected
the remaining codes would come into
existence before the four months’ re-
newal for the blanket agreement had
expired.

ing of hundreds of former prohibition
agents as internal revenue investi-
gators of the Treasury was agreed
upon at a conference today between

today with the Acting Secretary of
the Treasury with respect to the en-
forcement of the federal laws relat-
ing to liquor and the protection of
