'SHUN SLACKERS IN BLUE EAGLE drive; is plea Consumers Are Asked to Patronize NRA Firms: 64.000 Signed. A plea to consumers to rally to the standard of the Blue Eagle and patronize only firms which have signed the President's covenant, was j voiced todav bv Francis Wells, federal NRA representative for Indiana, j Admitting that thousands of industries and business firms through- | out the state either were delinquent j or did not intend to sign the NRA i agreement. Wells announced that j Friday was the deadline for com- : pliance with provisions of the j “blanket code." It now is up to the consumers to register their disapproval by refusing to patronize firms that have not complied." said Wells. 64,000 Are Signed More tnan 64.000 Indiana firms have signed either the blanket code or agreements of their individual industries, according to Wells, but thousands more potential signers I hare not aligned with the program, j The exact number of non-com-plying firms in the state is diffi- J cult to estimate, according to Wells, who stated that from figures based on financial ratings and department of commerce records. Indiana should have bet wen 80,000 and 90,000 potential employers subject to NRA regulations With more than 700 reported violations registered at the local department of commerce office, T M. Overley. head of the Indianapolis NRA bureau of compliance and complaints, announced that his bureau had disposed of six alleged violations. Agree to Get in Line Letters were mailed to the heads of the six companies alleged to have violated the rode, and deads of all six firms appeared at the NRA headquarters Friday and agreed to eliminate the cause of the rom,plaints. hp said. “Thpse complaints werp the results of misunderstandings or misinterpretations." said Overley. “A discussion and explanation of certain disputed points was necessary to bring them into line.” Status of inside salespeople working entirely on commission and a question which has been raised locally regarding the hours of retail stores still await definite interpretation from Washington. L F. Shuttleworth, president of the Associated Retailers of Indiana, said he had been informed by Washington that NRA officials had no objection to the establishment of maximum hours of business, provided the maximum is not less than the average number of hours operated before the NRA was organized or before June 16. Awaits Official Word Weils withheld comment on the situation until official word is received from Washington. Tabulations compiled by Indianapolis NRA workers revealed that 4.151 Indianapolis business firms have employed 5.884 new employes and have added $113,391.93 to weekly pay rolls since the start of NRA. Reposts from these workers also showed that 66.464 Indianapolis housewives and other consumers have signed pledges to only deal with "blue eagle" firms. To date, 14,439 unemployed men .and 5.819 unemployed women have been found in city homes visited by the NRA field workers. Get All Holidays In a ruling received from NRA Washington headquarters Friday, it was announced that employes will get the advantage of all legal holidays. Employes on a fixed weekly basis are permitted to have the holiday without having to make up the time later. Another ruling provides that a company finding that the code already signed works too great a hardship upon the business, first must submit its problem to the trade association. If the association agrees that a hardship is too great, it must uake its applications for exceptions to the blanket code to Washington. While awaiting action from Washington. the firm must display a white bar bearing the wofd "Provisional" over its Blue Eayle.

CADETS PLAY PART OF GENERALS

West Pointers Direct War Game, Get Real Training

O’BRIEN’ Tlbim Special Writer WEST POINT. Sept. 2—Battle Monument, estimated by tourists, known throughout the world in picture, last goal of every West Point Cadet—in front of it he receives his diploma—gleamed dully high over the Hudson in the dreary chill soon after dawn. Past its historic rise on Trophy Point clupped-clupped horses, artillery wheels rumbled, howitzers and trucks, tractors and field kitchens rounded the rows of silenced guns and the feet of men in rifle and machine giyi companies likewise patted past. All were moving up to the front. Across the .river <it was pretended* a brigade was encamped, prepared to march next day on Monroe, twenty miles away, where enemy forces were concentrating. The First battalion ‘the pretense continued* was detached from the brigade the night before, and reinforced by Battery As artillery detachment and one heavier platoon, was sent across the river with certain orders. The First battalion and reinforcements comprised some 600 seniors and third classmen of the United States Military Academy—and these cadets marched and trotted and rode by Battle Monument at the beginning of one of the mast extensive and exacting war games ever plotted at West Point. Academy officers planned the maneuvers in emphasizing the notion that' an officer's value to his army and country is enchanced by an understanding of the viewpoint of the enlisted men he shall one day command. This may be gained, It Is believed officially, by requiring a cadet training for a commission to perform every task of the enlisted man on the march and in the field. Some hours before the battalion was on the road Major Dennis E. McCunnifT, chief umpire of the maneuvers, stepped out of his role as a tactical officer of the academy. He appeared as a messenger, supposed to come from the headquarters of the brigade assumed to be in camp across the Hudson, before cadets who had been chosen as commanding officers for the first day's maneuvers. a a a THE major told them of the brigade commander’s message directing the battalion to take and hold the western exit of the pass over Bull mountain east of Highland Mills to cover the crossing of the brigade on the morrow. Cadet officers consulted, studied maps and planned their first day's advance. Then, under command of Cadet Paul Burlingame, battalion commander, two rifle companies, a machine gun company. a howitzer platoon, a battery of artillery and a headquarters company moved past Battle Monument. Traveling rough Pipe Line trail, dodging tree stumps, rocks and other encumbrances planted to discourage curious automobilists.

Skating Season to Open Here

Riverside Park Makes Big Plans to Entertain Crowds.

Sunday afternoon there will be a balloon ascension at Riverside amusement park, it is announced, and on Monday, tfabor day, the fare on all the rides and other fun and thrill devices will be cut to 2 cents, the holiday bargain rate to prevail from noon until midnight. Riverside has been host to a number of big industrial picnics this summer and the management has decided to climax the outing season by sponsoring a picnic under auspices of the park itself. No tickets of any kind will be required, it is announced. Following are the devices which mav be enjoyed on Labor day at the 2-cent fare: The thriller, flash, old mill, pretzel, fun castle, aerial swing, mill chutes, whip, dogdem. auto speedway, tipsytown and the motorboats. The skeeball alleys also will be operated at the bargain rate, it is announced. The public schools open next Tuesday and the Riverside bargain day will afford a great climax to the youngsters' vacation period. It is expected that many families will make a day of it at the park, bringing along picnic baskets for a meal in_ the beautiful Riverside grove, where hundreds of additional tables and benches have been installed. The park maintains a free checking service for baskets, in charge of "Mother’' Arlington, a veteran park employe known to thousands of Indianapolis folk of two generations. Baskats or other parcels may be checked free here at any time. Tonight will mark the close of the voting contest for ‘‘Dance Queen" at the Riverside dance palace. and it is expected an immense crowd will be on hand for the final canvass of votes. Viola Kinley has piled up a big lead as the candidates come down the home stretch this week, and it appears that little short of a miracle can prevent her from romping under the wire as the 1933 dance queen of Indianapolis. The regular roller skating season will open tonight at the Riverside rink, with band music and a number of special faeatures to make the occasion a gala event.

the battalion—the Blue forces — left the reservation and reached the paved smoothness of Central Valley road. Ahead of it had gone some eime before an infantry company and a machine gun company, also composed of cadets. This was the enemy—the Red force. The cadet commanding officers of this force had orders to proceed toward West Point, reconnoiter the Bull Mountain Pass and delay the Blue forces. The morning was chilly, but the trudging cadets found the going w*elcomely warm under rifles w*eighing little more than nine pounds and field packs containing a trench tool, a half of a shelter tent, a black poncho, toilet articles, a change of underwear and socks and emergency rations. a a a A FEW hours out of West Point the first flat popping of rifles w r as heard by the Blue advance guard among the trees topping the long, open, grassy slope that dipped down from Round Pound, hidden by thick grass.

"THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The enemy had opened fire. “Contact” had been made. A cadet leaned unsteadily against the field ambulance. “I lost my breakfast a spell back,” he reported. “It's all I Can do to w*alk.” Major William S. Prout, medical officer, galloped along, his Negro- orderly trailing. The set of the major’s lips seemed to indicate that if here were a malingerer he would be sent ahead forthwith to take his part in the march and fighting. The pale cadet. how*ever, was ordered back to the hospital. The enlisted ambulance driver, streaking for the military reservation, memory quickened by sight of cadets solemnly advancing against a make-believe enemy, recalled. th?e time sixteen years ago when he sent real bullets .from machine guns against a real enemy. The .first cadet to return had not feigned illness to escape days of hiking, nights in camp. Major Prout’s roadside diagnosis was confirmed. The cadet w*as operated on that night for appendicitis.

A cadet commanding officer in the Blue advance guard called an order from a screened lane off Central Valley road at the bottom of the slope whence had come the first defiant sound of enemy rifles. A regular army officer. acting as umpire, was nearbyon a restless horse. The cadet, however, gave his own orders, took full responsibility himself for sending his command against the enemy. He may, some other morning, face at some other hill a hostile force that actually seeks the lives of the men behind him. The tactical officer permitted him to use his own judgment. It was part of the renewed insistence at West Point on a type of training that drills a cadet to be a leader by actual participation in a situation that demands fast thinking in the field. A cadet crouched behind a parked automobile called: "Where do you want me to go?” He w-as left to figure it out for himself. There were cries of: "Lower! Get down!” And cadets went up the slope toward enemy rifles, ran beside the protection of a stone wall in the by-lane, and the rain started to fall in the first shower of a drenching series that descended almost without interruption on the warriors for four days. nan THE Blue advance guard deployed and worked around the flank of the Red force, outflanked it, drove it back, but not without having been delayed considerably. Falling back about a mile, the enemy took up anew- position, - near the Bull Mountain pass, objective of the day's engagement, was driven back again. The Blue advance then established , radio communication with the artillery and plodded up the pass to camp in a field softening mushily- in the rain. The pass, curving from the highway at a narrow* opening, was called Breakneck road with reason. It rises steeply and curves dizzily, flanked close by trees and shrubbery and looming rocks. Field kitchens, supply wagons, artillery pieces, horses moved up with difficulty. a a a A CADET on an uneasy horse waited at one sharp turn. He pointed to a dull gray mass on a wet, swinging bough over the narrow way. “Look out for the hornet’s nest,” he called as the trucks, stopping often, and the horses, resting more frequently, drew near. The pass seemed made to order to fit in with the new program for training future officers to handle every problem of the field under adverse conditions so they might have the key to any future problem, no matter what the obstacles. All equipment reached the top of the mountain finally as the rain quickened in the brewing of a record storm. Backs were bent to the drudgery of making the first camp, but mud and water and labor did not dim the shouted appreciation: ‘‘The kitchens and food got here!” ' .
