NRA Critics Study Plans of Stop Gap
Washington June 8 Senate critics of the NRA began a minute study of Roosevelt administration’s stop gap plan speeding through the House by 264 to 121. They fear the 9 month extension grants more anti trust leeway than intended while Richberg resigns effective June 16, and the President accepts. Critics scrutinize exemptions from anti trust laws, noting Section 5 remains intact even as compulsory codes are limited. Chairman Harrison plans to bring the measure to the Senate next week.
