BITTER LE6AL BATTLE LOOMS Indiana Bakeries Fight Refund Os Taxes To Processors 1 Indianapolis. Jan. B.—A bit- • ter legal battle over the status ot approximately $6,000,000 in AAA processing taxes loomed today in federal court as four bakeries tiled intervening petitions to motions of 10 processors seeking refund ot l. tax payments. The actions were filed in view of the recent decision of the U. S. supreme court invalidating the federal farm control act. The intervening petitions filed by the bakkers sought to estab- . lish priority claim ou the taxes, which they claim rightfully belong to them because milling companies passed the tax on the bakeries in sales of flour and other products. The motions to obtain refund of taxes were filed by meat, packers, milling companies and tobacco processors. Kingan & Co., Indianapolis meat packers, was one of the largest claimants, having paid approximately $400,000 monthly in taxes since collection began. The Martinsville Milling Co., Martinsville, and the Paoli Milling Co., Paoli, were included in those who filed. The four bakeries who filed intervening petitions were the West Ba~ng Co., Indianapolis, naming i the Acme-Evans Co., also thjs city; the Bloomington Baking Co., naming the Lawrenceburg roller mills; the Hi-Class Baking Co., Evansville, naming the Sunnyside Milling Co., Evansville, and John B. Johnson, Sheridan, naming the Noblesville Milling Co. Federal Judge Robert C. Balt- ’ zell set Jan. 16 for hearing on the i petitions of the processors. The money has been held in escrow in : Indianapolis banks since action 1 was started testing the constitu- : tionality of the act. Bakery attorneys predicted their i action would open the way to con- , sumer organizations intervening i in similar suits and attempting to j reimburse house wives for higher i prices paid while the AAA taxes , were collected from processors. o .Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
