AUGUST 11, 1934 THE MONTGOMERY ADVERIISER Constructive Fearless Independent FIVE JOHNSON LIKELY TO RETIRE SOON Notice Of Impending Reduction In NRA Personnel Revives Old Question By WILLIAM L. BEALE Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. Hugh B. Johnson's personal notice of a slash in NRA personnel today thrust to the fore again the ever present capital question of when the Government's busness boss himself will retire to private life. Most informed quarters forecast the answer would develop in conferences between Mr.

Roosevelt and Johnson before the President leaves Washington for his Hyde Park home. In these same meetings, NRA's entire future may be shaped Johnson notified his employes- of whom there are about 3,300, with 2.300 in Washington- that a decline in the volume of blue eagle work meant dropping some employes. His message said: "To every employ of NRA: June 16th I had occasion to call you all together to thank you for the devoted work you had put in under our program during its first year. I told you then that you need not feel insecure as to your jobs. are now confronted with the necessity for a slight reduction in personnel because the work that has to be done has declined in volume, but I want you to know that I am laying down rule that no person who has bees efficient in this organization shall be let go without period of notice, and this organization will endeavor to find other employment for those no longer needed." Friends of the Administration believed that, as rapidly as blue eagle work settled into the routine of code enforcement, Johnson's own desire to cut loose from the Government would grow.

His energies chiefly have been spent in creating and building new conception of business control. Johnson's work as he planned it was not over, however. Reorganization of his staff for code enforcement and compressing 500 codes into 300 were only two of many tasks remaining. But some thought it significant that Johnson's of a personnel reduction was distributed on the day set by him for ending all code making.

Tax Money May Be Used To Pave Street In A Town There is nothing in the law to prevent a county from paying out of Its gasoline tax funds, the cost of paving a street in an incorporated town within the county's boundaries, when such street forms a part of a publie road or highway, or serves as the connecting link between two highways, That is the effect of an opinion issued yesterday at the office of Atty. Gen, Knight, addressed to W. D. Williamson, member of the court of county commissioners of Randolph County.

The law provides that the gasoline tax money must be spent for the maintenance or construction, or repair of roads, highways or bridges in the respective counties, and makes no exception of that part of a road or highway that happens to be public street of town.

Bee Brand INSECT SPRAY Night Owls Turn Cloverdale: Into Nudist Speedway If. dear reader, you were one of the startled motorists who last night thought you had run into a nudist colony, rest assured it was nothing of the kind. It was, indeed, only the Night Owls going to their roosts, The Night Owls, it should be explained for those unacquainted with current events in Cloverdale, is a club of boys who enjoy (apparently) all of those things which boys are supposed to enjoy. There were then no nudists, in the ordinary sense, meandering about Cloverdale or the roads south of the city last night, but only five "candidates" taking their last degree. The boys had been taken to a recluded field, given their degrees, and been ordered to get homeminus most or all of their usual clothing- as best they could.

If some fraternity man, remembering his own initiation, took pity upon the barefooted boys, it is doubtful even then if the candidates would have been given For their bodies had been well smeared with none-too-modern eggs, unsavory oils, liniments and syrups. Not only that, their speech have been impaired slightly from eating "dead nice slice of bologna sprinkled with alum. The club members had some difficulty with their initiation last night. They first chose a hay field on the Narrow Lane Road and began the ceremony. It was interrupted by farmer- who told them he preferred to have no night owls roosting on his place.

The second spot, between the Narrow Lane and Norman Bridge Roads, offered no obstacles. Both the candidates and members were in high spirits- the members eager to see the fun, the candidates eager to get it over so that they might watch the next ones. So again, dear reader, If you chance to come upon Night Owl, just. forget your embarrassment, You, at least, have no egg-oll-liniment-syrup concoction glued to your body. And too, just imagine how anxious the Night Owl must be to get to his roost.

TREASURY STARTS PRINTING INFLATED SILVER CURRENCY (Continued From Page 1) the dealing in contracts for future delivery the metal, seemed to have been of, ended in New York. The commodity exchange, which suspended trading in silver futures at noon yesterday, announced today that all outstanding commitments were settled at 49.96 cents an ounce. A fairly free market for actual silver for immediate delivery seemed to be in prospect, however, as the treasury said it had no intention of interfering with silver imports or in the dealings in metal for industrial uses. Bullion brokers. were functioning as usual.

While the removing of all the American surplus stocks from the markets by nationalization was construed 88 theoretically bullish on silver, it was felt that the world price would depend largely upon how actively the treasury decides to extend its accumulation of metal to foreign markets. To bring its silver up to 25 per cent of total metallic monetary. reserves, it must still buy much more silver than it will get by nationalizing domestic stock. The treasury is taking in all the domestic mine production at 64 1-2 cents an ounce, but this new silver is scarcely drop in the bucket to the amount required to carry out the objectives of the silver purchase act. Inasmuch as no higher silver prices for the domestic producers seemed in prospect, at least until the world price passes the equivalent of 64 1-2 cents, in contrast to just under 50 cents currently, silver shares in the New York market turned reacticnary.

U. S. Smelting, up about $5 yesterday, fell back $4 to $183, and closed at $135.50, Stocks turned very dull after 8 minor selling flurry in the early dealings, but losses of $1 to more than $2 share were numerous, and final prices mostly were about the day's lowest.
