Washington, Nov. 1.-(AP)-Secretary Roper, at a meeting of the National Business Advisory and Planning Council today, named five leading industrialists to serve on NRA's industrial advisory board for the next four months, replacing five, including Walter C. Teagle, of the Standard Oil Company, of New Jersey, who had just ended their service.
Pierre duPont, of the E. I. duPont de Nemours Company, was selected, together with Clay Williams of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company; Myron C. Taylor, of the United States Steel; General Robert E. Wood, of Sears-Roebuck, and R. E. Flanders, of Springfield, Va.
Roper announced that a rotation plan would be continued, so that at the beginning of next March five more new members will supplant others now serving on the board.
The planning council, after hearing from Gerard Swope, chairman, a proposal that all business organizations be merged into a national chamber commerce and industry, which would name a panel of distinguished industrialists to supervise operation codes, voted on the motion of Henry I. Harriman, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, to place the proposal in the hands of a committee for study.
