Increase in Beer Alcohol Content Looms by Jan. 1

Raising of Ban in State Depends Solely on Repeal by U. S. "Fallh pervades the common people and prrsrrvrs them . . . they never cive up believing and expecting and trusting.”— Walt Whitman. Have faith, you who imbibe in 3.2 andi pray for more. Three-point-two may not be 3.2 after Christmas. The beer you drink next January is likely to be 5.2 or 6.2. For the alcoholic content of beer depends on the eighteenth amendment. And Indiana's beer bill, which in reality is a liquor control act, does not make any limitation on the content of beer. In other words. Indiana’s liquor control act simply rests the entire problem upon the eighteenth amendment. The eighteenth amendment is doomed. The end is expected before Jan. 1. Whatever laws congress may make regulating the states to prevent the return of the saloon, nothing can be done by the state to limit the alcoholic content of beer. And the way Indiana’s liquor control act reads, this state can be the very first to receive “ye olden brew.” Os course, beer In the old days wasn't noted for its high content of alcohol. Rarely did it contain more than 5 per cent. But brewmasters declare that the best brew runs something more than 4 per cent alcohol. So have faith, you who look on 3.2 with distrust. By Christmas, you may be drinking five-poir.f-two. COAL PRICES TO GO UP 25J3ENTS A TON Increase Is Announced by Association. Increase of approximately 25 cents a ton in coal prices today was announced by the Indianapolis Coal Merchants Association of which Earl Sigmon is secretary. In addition to the increase by the ton. dealers also announced that it will cost 50 cents a ton to wheel coal to basements this fall and winter. With practically every local coal dealer a member of the NRA. the price raise will be general. According to dealers, the increase is due to boost in wages and installation of new equipment at mines. Gifts of kindling with coal purchases are banned. BARBER RULING MADE Membership in Union Not Necessary for License, Higdon Asserts. “It is not necessary for any barber in Indianapolis to join the barbers’ union to get a state license,” asserted Ray Higdon, union secretary. in an official statement today. “The barbers' union." saifl Higdon, "never has claimed or used that statement in its membership drive. The charge that we have intimated that is groundless." AIR POSTAGE TO BE CUT Five-Cent Rate May Be Returned Soon. Says Farley. By t'nitfd Press WASHINGTON.

CIRCUS 'SKIPS' TAXPAYMENT Show Leaves Town as State Income Tax Levy Agents Hunt in Vain. Aids of Clarence A. Jackson, state income tax collector, have learned what a task it is to find the boss of a circus. In fact, they learned it was a tough job. because they never found him. Ringling Bros., and fiarnum and Bailey circus was to pay $l4B store tax for the sideshows. Heads of the department thought it would be as well to collect the tax while the show was in Indianapolis Tuesday night as wait until it got to South Bend or Terre Haute. Out went the collectors. They talked to one and then another on the grounds. Then, they finally learned, the boss wasn’t there. So the circus left town without paying the $l4B. but Jackson says the fee will be collected some time this summer. In addition, the state also seeks to collect a 1 per cent gross income tax on receipts of the showings in the state. AUTO CODE HEARINGS TO BRING CONTROVERSY Attempt to Bring Retailers Under Makers' Terms to Be Made. By Scripps-Hoicard Xeiespaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—Automobile code hearings, starting Friday, will bring to the surface one of the most troublesome problems of the recovery administration—the question of vertical codes, including manufacturers and distributors in one agreement, as opposed to horizontal codes, confined to one sort of business. The automobile code as submitted finally is confined to the manufacturing and assembling of motor vehicles and bodies and of component and repair parts and accessories. However, automobile retailers are not under any of the pending retail trade codes, and an attempt will be renewed to bring them under agreement with other branches of the automobile business. This same question has complicated oil code hearings and has been a source of endlesi controversy in behind-the-scenes conferences.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

NE WS OF MOTOR WORLD

—Motor Meanderings— MOTOR TRIP TO BLOOMINGTON IS INTERESTING ■ Indiana Universitly Campus and Goldfish Hatchery Attract Visitor, Today mark* tbr brginninc of a ssrles of abort Sunday automobile jaunta to intereitinr place* in around this aeetion of Indiana, depleting a newcomer's impression. Thene trip* are sponsored Jointly by Tbr Times and Indianapolis automobile distributors, wbo make them possible by furnishing the transportation.

BY STURGE WELLS Timet Automobile Editor Having heard so much about the natural beauties and interesting motor trips through southern Indiana, especially down through Bloomingten and vicinity, whose main claim for recognition is due to being the home of the University of Indiana, I was anxious to get a first-hand impression. So taking advantage of a few idle hours last Sunday, congenial company. and the kind offer of A. R. Jones of the Jones-Maley Motor Company, De Soto distributors, to j place a smart new blue-green fourdoor De Soto sedan at my disposal, ! I drove to Bloomington. Being in no great hurry, nor hav- | ing any aspirations to establish a i speed record between here and Bloomington, most of the time goI ing down was spent leisurely driv- ; ing along, watching the many things of interest during this season of the year when motoring through a heavily cultivated countryside. Golffish Are Magnet Upon nearing Martinsville, a large sign informing travelers of route 37 ! that they were just a few minutes drive from the “World’s Largest Goldfish Hatcheries.” attracted our attention and curiosity. While this is of no particular interest to native “Hoosiers” in and around this neck of the woods, to a stranger it’s another story. Although professing no particular "yen” for goldfish, the mere fact that any one would operate such a strange business on a mammoth scale was impressive. Investigation disclosed, much to our sprprise that there are many varieties, differing not only in size and shape, but in other characteristics as well. The most alarming discovery was that even in the goldfish family there are albinos. Continuing on to Bloomington and the University campus, it was a contrast to find the campus practically deserted, except for a few stray Visitors here and there, especially when in just a few more weeks this very scene will be a bedlam of activities, with fall and football season just around the corner. This impression was all the more impressive upon driving over to the stadium and viewing the many tiers of vacant seats, which soon will be overflowing with enthusiastic and colorful crowds cheering their respective teams on to victory, maybe. Buildings Are Impressive Although having been rc.ther fortunate in visiting many colleges, around the country, the impressive "frat houses” and the “newish" Union Memorial building struck me as the last word, and capable of doing justice to any major college campus. Finally content that everything of interest had been taken in, we headed toward Indianapolis settling ourselves to enjoy a pleasant drive back. In fact, one of the real pleasures of the whole drive, was the way we literally “breezed" up and down the many winding hills in the new De Soto, whose performance and comfortable riding qualities on road driving is a treat, especially to any one owning a car of an early vintage like mine. Auto Sidelights —T'HE action which President “*• Roosevelt has taken in further-! ing the recovery of business, has touched the Automotive Industry in no small way! Proof of this statement Is evidenced in the marked mental change of attitude from the manufacturers down to the smallest dealer operating in a “whistle-stop town.” Aside from this angle, the Industry as a whole are experiencing • at least a temporary spurt in the sale of new cars. For example, word comes from the “Big Three." name- 1 ly Chevrolet, Ford, and Plymouth,: in Detroit that total retail deliveries during July considerably exceed that of the corresponding month of last year. H. G. Mooek, General sales manager of the Plymouth Motor Corporation, had the following to say recently on this subject. "Shipments and production during July are expected to exceed 30.000 units, which will be an increase of more than 350 per cent over July, 1932.” The best barometer, of course, In determining whether business is improving, is whether more men are being put back to work. The answer to that point was covered thoroughly a few days ago by W. S. Knudsen. president and general manager of the Chevrolet Motor ‘Company, who stated that, “In the single week from July 8 to July 15, inclusive, the number of men employed increased by approximately 4.000 at the 20 plants throughout the United States and from July 15 to the present, approximately 2.000 men had been added to the pay rolls." Since June 10. declared Knudsen,> as he analyzed the figures, a small army of 11,000 men have found employment with Chevrolet and Pontiac. Total employment today is above 46,000 persons, he said. In the gasoline and oil fie'd. State Auditor Floyd E. Williamson reports that tax receipts on gasoline sales during the last couple of months 1 exceeded last year's figure by approximately $162,000. which not only indicates a substantial increase in gasoline and oil sAles, but a “break” | for the state!

Employes in Automobile Trade Benefit by Code

Each werk this column will bo devoted to comments on a current subject applying to the automotive Industry by soim personality identified with the auto lle’-t in Indianapolis. This week R. H. Loses, Hudson-Essex distributor for this territory and president of the Indianapolis Auto Trade Association discusses the blanket code of the NBA as it applies to automobile dealers, and also the purpose of the rode which the National Auto Dealers Association is sponsoring. BY R. H. LOSEY Purpose of the blanket code of the NRA in the automobile field is to establish better working hours and wages for salaried employes, which, of course, regulates closing hours, and places all dealers engaged In the automobile business on an even keel in this phase of the business.

In adopting this code, each and every dealer agrees to abide by the fortyhour week for salaried employes, to close his place of business at 9 p. m. daily, and to close all day Sunday. In determining the salary of each employe on the new forty-hour week, a weekly average

3 & K IB

of the last three months earnings was taken and adopted as the set figure. Although this works a hardship in many cases on dealers whose employes had long working hours, at the same time it has its advantages, especially for the working classes. In the case of present employes, it means more desirable working hours, and more time for recreation. To many of the automobile dealers, the signing of the NRA “blanket code" will necessitate increasing the number of salaried employes. So. while the requirements of the NRA code actually protect the interests of salaried employes rather than the automobile dealer himself, every dealer in Indianapolis and throughout the entire state of Indiana, so far as is known, has co-operated with the government in trying to bring back prosperity by signing the pledge! Job Is Enormous Before commenting on the objective of the National Automobile Dealers Association’s proposed code, I would like to digress for a while and describe the thorough manner in which the association is tackling this enormous job. The original plans called for setting up districts throughout the United States to work with the local trade associations in explaining to the dealers in each territory the objective of the code. As an example, a few weeks ago, a group meeting of all the automobile dealers throughout Indiana was called by W. J. Robinson, local director of N. A. D. A. for this section. During the meeting every dealer was invited to join N A. D. A and cooperate by helping to formulate the code, the purpose of which is to abolish certain detrimental practices now prevailing in the automotive industry, especially among the dealers. In Indiana alone. ’ before this drive is over, there will have been meetings held in twenty-seven different localities, at which time the code adopted by the Indianapolis Auto Trade Association will be presented with the suggestion that each dealer study it and make any suggestions which he may feel best will benefit all dealers in his particular district. Changes to Be Made All these individually prepared district codes will be turned into the Indianapolis Auto Trade Association Committee, which will make

such changes as advanced by these various districts in the original code, and in turn send the finished one into N. A. D. A. headquarters at St. Louis. By this method even' one of the 35,000 automobile dealers in the United States will have participated in formulating the final code which will be drawn up by the officers of N. A. D. A. to be submitted to the government for approval and enforcement. Many points will be covered in this code, in an effort to improve conditions throughout the automobile industry. One requirement will be a more rigid ruling by the National Used Car Blue Book on valuation of automobiles taken in trade on new automobiles, as well as a strenuous ruling on the reconditioning of these taken in automobiles before the dealer can again offer them for re-sale. This, of course, will be a means of protection to prospective buyers of used automobiles, in that the buyer no longer will have to depend on his or her judgment or the sincerity of the dealer as to whether they are getting value received. Many more things could be said in favor of the objective of the N. A. D. A. proposed automobile code, if .‘.pace permitted, but the important thing at this point is in secuiing the enthusiasm and support of every automobile dealer to further the cause and reach our goal. CHEVROLET CHIEFS CONVENE AT DETROIT Department Managers Are Called in Consultation. Departing early Monday morning, a large delegation of department heads of the Indianapolis zone of the Chevrolet Motor Company headed toward Detroit to spend several days attending a sales convention, which is being held for the department managers throughout this section of the country.

REOPEN AUTO ZONEOFFICES Sales Expansion Program Outlined for Ruick, Olds, Pontiac. Re-establishment of the Indianapolis zone offices of Buick. Oldsmobile. Pontiac, headed by O. F. Wjmpler, together with five other such zones throughout the country was announced several days ago by W. A Blees, general sales manager of the B O. P. Sales Company. This announcement follows a recent B. O. P. convention in Chicago. at which time a presentation of Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac sales and expan-

sion plans were outlined to zone and branch department heads from all over the country. The order, which becomes effective Tuesday, will mean an filer ea s e in the office and field staffs of about twenty employes, according to Wampler. The new zone will take over the same territory it

controlled prior to becoming a branch under the Cincinnati zone several months back, which consists of practically the entire state of Indiana. Other men who received promotions are D. A. Mclntyre, who becomes assistant zone manager, with full charge of sales and dealers. Other promotions in the sales division included appointment of F. E. Campbell, who became city sales manager, while five district sales representatives were named to complete this department. James Taylor. who formerly served as city sales manager, was appointed sales promotion manager of the zone. The accounting and business management departments will be headed by J. J. Robinson. Parts and service departments will be in charge of G. H. Brown, while Roy Eberly becomes office manager and car distributor. This move on the part of the B. O. P. sales organization, according to Wampler, follows out the thinking Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac factory officials, who are especially optimistic on the outlook of general business conditions for the coming year. LOCAL AUTO MEN GO TO CODE CONFERENCE Losey, Byrne and Robinson Attend Trade Parley.

WORK ONLY FOR CASH, PLEDGE OF, HOBOES' CODE Handouts No Longer Will Be Considered Under NRA Rules. , BY WILLIAM F. SULLI.AAN United Press SlsiT Correspondent CHICAGO. Aug. 16.—This old world has gone goofy, and if President Rcosevelt and others will listen to America's hobexs they might get untangled. “King” Jeff Davis of Cincinnati, who has hobnobbed with royalty and. riff-raff in all parts of the world, announced from his throne today.

The “king” is here drafting a “blanket" code for the men of the "Jungles” who often must sleep outdoors, facing the rigors of the elements with only the sky for covering. Jeff wired president Roosevelt that the Intern ational Itinerant Workers' Union is behind him 100 per cent in his campaign to got

money into circulation, and that the hoboes hnve agreed to work only for cash In the future. Seated in a room decorated in box-car style, and surrounded by his cabinet members, including Pat Salmon, “daddy of the boes,” Jeff expounded his theories for natonal recovery and his carefree philosophies of life. “The President wants to get money in motion." the “king" began. “Wejte going to help him. In the future we work only for cash. We've got 53.000 members, and they'll follow the code. It's a Goofy World "It's going to be 50 cents for putting in a load of coal, 50 cents for chopping a pile of wood and 50 cenfts an hour for cleaning windows." And here the king waxed eloquent on his philosophy of brotherly low. “The world has gone goofy—bughouse.” Jeff explained. "No one cares for the other fellow, except fellows like the boes. who live in the ‘Jungles.’ They don't, know where they're headed or why. “A guy don't know what he wants, and don't know how f to get it. He doesn't know it when he gets it, and, if he does, he won't know what to with it. And then when it gets away from him, he don't know’ it's gone.” Jeff, who has been married for thirty-three years and is a grandfather, has sound theories for husbands and wives seeking the elusive marital bliss. Absense Makes Heart Fonder "I've spent about eight years at home,” Jeff explained. "My wife and I don't see too much of each other. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Jeff excused himself a moment to read telegrams from “One-Eyed” Connolly, Leon Ray Livingstone, "A No. 1 Hobo;’’ Kitty Donnelly, queen of hoboettes, and others expressing regrets that they could not attend the silver jubilee commemorating the founding of the hoboes' union. “How did I get here?" Jeff said in answering a query. “A pal brought me in a car. The others came on the rods, in boxcars and other ways. GETS RECTOR AWARD Harry Bucher, Shortridge Graduate, Wins De Pauw Scholarship.
