NRA program fate may end Blue Eagle era June
Washington May 17 Some senators forecast that if the house approves the seven point NRA program backed by President Roosevelt and Donald Richberg no Blue Eagle law will be in force when the current one expires June 16. They warn it could trigger a lengthy senate fight as it has already voted to curb NRA authority and extend its life only ten months. The plan would extend NRA two years and keep its reach over interstate commerce while the senate bill would limit codes to firms operating across state lines. House Democrats challenge the broad scope proposing an arbitrary threshold for coverage, possibly 25 or 50 workers, as a substitute.

Morgenthau Pushes Independent Open Market Authority
Secretary Morgenthau told a senate banking subcommittee that strong federal control of credit and currency should be centralized in an independent board similar to the supreme court. He supported government ownership of all Federal Reserve Bank stock and urged agency independence from the president. The exchange grew lively as McAdoo pressed for inflation definitions while Morgenthau deflected, noting the bonus bill and treasury experts as context. He conveyed a belief in unified credit authority though avoided specifics on policy details.
