Mainstay In Pv C. JBackfield Washington, Nov.'20.—NRA’s high command set itself-today to the task of doing.€verything possible to aid the new cooperative effort between biBi- ness and government. / I., There were definite si^s that the seven-man board that now rules the -blue eagle will avoid any major chang es in policy for the present. This was interpreted as a desire to let business know it can go ahead without running into drastic alterations that might iip- set stability. ,, . Clay WHliamSir w^very chairman, said yesterday that the board is “mak ing a great many studies of a great many! problems',” but* he added that there are “some limitations on what constructively and conservatively can be done under the existing situation.” Williams, denied the board was “treading water,” but observerfi noted 1 that congress must review the whole^ recovery law soon, and belie'V’e the board might go .slow on major changes pending that review'. Two other developments focused further attention on the new partner ship betw’een government and busi ness. The federal reserve advisory council, sometimes critical of the ad ministration’s policies, held a “love fefist” with the federal reserve board.
