PRICE CONTROL STUDY BEGUN BY NRA BOARD Industrial and Retail Cost Situation Provides Maior Problem. BY If O. THOMPSON (fitted Preii Stiff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Sept 14— A new study of industrial and retail Co6ts was started by the recovery administration today, to provide the basis of a decision on the problem of controlling prices. The study was undertaken through a committee, named by the industrial recovery board, headed by Secretary of Commerce Daniel Roper. Its objective Is to find a basic rule for determining costs of production and merchandising, so that a uniform procedure may be followed. The master retail code, with its price-fixing provisions, is \ ing action by the administration It j is agreed by officials that more defi-, nite attention to the price ques- ; tion is essential. The retail code ; now is before the NRA advisory i boards. It may bring more discussion before the consumers’ board, which is protesting price-fixing measures, agrees to its terms. Opposes Price Fixing The consumers’ board opposes price ! fixing except in basic industries such j as oil, and then only with safe- I guards. The board fears general price fixing would mean too high prices for consumers. The price-fixing provisions in the i retail code have stated that minimum prices must be a certain per cent above cost. The percentage ; has varied during diferent phases ! of the negotiations, but at present is understood to be 10 per cent. Unless a careful formula is applied for the definition of cost, not only in the retail trades, but in other industries as well, much confusion is likely to develop. No clear-cut policy on prices has been readied by the NRA. While j officials realize that the problem is assuming great importance in the general recovery program, various factors have contributed to delay in arriving at definite rulings on administrative measures. Farmers Are Complaining Suggestions have been made within the organization for creation of price control features, and some regulation in thus direction probably will be developed. Farmers especially are complaining of increases in the routs of things they must buy. Government reports shows that from July 15 to Aug. 15 farm prices dropped four points, while prices of goods went up five points. “Restoration of farm buying power, keystone of national recovvery. is menaced by the rising prices of articles farmers mast buy,’’ declared Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. "The farmer never will catch up with the costs of living if this continues.’’ Viewed as Danger Secretary of Agriculture Wallace recognizes this disparity in prices as a definite danger to the farm recovery program, but he believes the farmer will catch up if NRA succeeds In increasing industrial pay rolls. Wallace's data indicates that prices of farm produce normally lag three months behind wages. Hence, i he feels that any substantial gains j in pui*chasing power shortly would bring improvements in the farmers’ position.

Sept. 14—Financial circles of the nation were stirred today over the prospect of Chicago’s La Salle street replacing Wall Street of New York as the country's trading center, an outgrowth of the recently imposed stock transfer tax in New York. Undef the impetus of inquiries from New York brokers, applying for seats on the Chicago Stock Exchange, prices rose rapidly Wednesday. the offer price nearly doubling from the opening bids of the morning. Two members of the New York i Stock Exchange bought seats in the ' Chicago exchange, one seat selling today for the premium price of 87,500. This was a twenty-four-hour increase of SI,OOO over the price of the first seat which sold Tuesday for $6,500 to another New York broker.

M'NUTT OFFERS PLAN ON PENSION EXPENSE; Suggests Method to Avert Adding to Tax Burden. Admonishing county officials to keep old-age pension appropriations down to a point where only appli- j cants “in thp letter and spirit of the law’’ will get aid, Governor Paul V. McNutt, in a statement today, suggested a plan which he believes will permit pensions without additional tax burdens. He proposes that the only persons pensioned shall be those who otherwise would be aided by township poor funds, or be forced to get help through charitable institutions. Declaring that it should not be the purpose to refuse pensions to j any entitled to them, McNutt inti- I mated that some counties have j made appropriations larger thaw probably will be needed. He asserted that unless county j officials eo-operate in keeping down j appropriations, the state will be faced with a heavy obligation, as the state matches dollar for dollar the pension fund of each county.

15,000 WORDS FORM STUDENTS’ VOCABULARY Survey of American Colleges is Made by Researcher. LVy Science Service CHICAGO, Sept. 14.—The number of words known to college students was the subject of research to the American Psychological Association by Dr. Robert H. Seashore of the University of Oregon. They know a great many, it seems, in addition to such technical terms as “date” and “prom” or “flat tire.” The average vocabulary of sophomores and juniors is about 15,000 non-technical English “root” words plus 52,000 derivatives of roots and about 3,000 special terms. This does not count words in foreign languages and the technical terms of such studies as the sciences.

By United Press NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 14.—The hunt for “black gold’’ goes on with ever increasing speed along the Louisiana gulf coast, in Texas and Southern Mississippi. More than 100 geophysical instrument crews are searching for gas and oil prospects in this area, P. B. Williamson, consulting engineer and geologist, revealed here. The number of crews at work, Williamson said, gives some idea of the battle now raging for new oil and gas wells. He said there were twenty crews at work in southern Mississippi, twenty-three in Louisiana, and sixty-two in Texas. The Arctic and Anarctic oceans, which are cold and not very salty, are vivid green in color.

Body Odor Now Quickly Banished Leaves no M.S. to offend! (MEDICINE SMELL) : ivivW;-;- j | m, Im Pb- IP* 1 SSL sHfiL m. jsliw

New way ends it instantly by removing cause... stale perspiration curds... with Deep-Pore Cleansing

T F you are afraid lest you offend 4 because of body odor—yet dislike the thought of bathing with a strong-smelling soap —then read what research chemists have discovered. It points tne way to complete freedom from this distressing condition. Every specialist knows that objectionable body odor does not come from fresh perspiration, but from stale perspiration deep in the pores. Stale perspiration contains calcium, salt and particles of fat. The thick and sticky lather of most ordinary toilet soaps is unsuited chemically to mix with this waste material and set it free. Instead, it hardens into clogging curds! • That’s why deep-pore cleansing is needed to remove the objectionable curds—and it is a scientific fact that there is only one way to accomplish this. Kirk’s Coco Castile —being a 100% pure vegetable oil soap mixes with the particles of perspiration curds, loosens them, then rinses out completely. Thus

WOODIN IS BACK ON JOB: MONEY POLICY PRESSES He’ll Help President Settle Insistent Clamor for Inflation. BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY I nitrd Prrss Financial Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept, 14.—Pressing problems faced Secretary of Treasury Woodin as he returned :o work todav after a two months absence caused by illness. Most of the debris left by the March banking crisis was cleaned up during his absence, but equally important new problems were pressing. Foremost was the government s monetary policy which President i Roosevelt is expected to formulate ! in the near future in co-operation | with treasury officials. Woodin kept i in close touch with developments at ! the treasury and White House by telephone during his absence. Determination of the country's monetary problem is one of the most important questions ever fared by a secretary of the treasury. Although i the administration recently abanj doned plans to inflate currency immediately, insistent demands on the | President for inflation have left i many business men reluctant, to expand their business until the money ! question is claifled. | A definite promise of the govern- | ment that it would not inflate • money might start prices downward 1 again. On the other hand, a declaI ration of a policy of inflation might cause banks of shorten loans in the ! face of efforts to expand them. These considerations presumably I have caused President Roosevelt to j keep the money question “in the dark.’’ It was expected, however, that some defiinte monetary policy would be developed in the near future.
