FIGHT BREWING OVER MASTER RETAIL CODE Desperate Battle Looms Over Measure Signed by President. (Continued From Page One! ups of prices above wholesale costs contended that development of formulae covering labor casts was likely to prove so complex and ocntroversial that it would be a long time before anything along this line was done. Victory Is Claimed Despite the provisions for markups to cover part of store wages, the consumers’ advisory board and other agencies which fought the cost plus 10 per cent plan felt they had scored a notable victory. The original provision, they pointed out, would have imposed a fixed policy on all stores and all goods. The code as signed assures that the markup may be made different for various types of stores and may be changed easily. There is no expectation that any markup ordered will include all labor costs. For the estimated 1,100.000 stores of all kinds in the nation last year, commerce department calculations show that their pay rolls equaled 15.5 per cent of their net sales. Code in Effect Monday The percentages were 13.2 for food, 14 4 for general merchandise, 17.5 for apparel and 20 for furniture, as compared with the eliminated cade provision which would have forbidden sales at less than cost with an allowance of at least 10 per cent to help cover expenses. For all stores in 1932 all expenses aside from the invoice cost of goods amounted to 29.9 per cent of net sales. In addition to the price battle, NRA faced a problem in enforcing the retail code. Next Monday it will become binding regardless of whether the stores signed the temporary blue eagle agreement. Recovery officials conceded there probably would be a flood of protests at the outset from stores that have been out of sympathy with the blue eagle.

TAKE STEPS TO PROTECT JAIL County to Get Figures on Armaments; No More Disputes Likely. Construction drawings and cost estimates were to be submitted to county authorities today on the armor plate gunner’s cage authorized by the county council for erection in the jail. Although this step in the plans of Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner for protection of the jail against possible raid from an organized bandit gang is certain of accomplishment, there is little chance of increasing the deputy sheriff force, it is said. Funds for construction of the bullet-proof cage and purchase ol additional weapons, including a snb-machine gun, were obtained by transfer of appropriations. However, county commissioners explained today that due to lack of a working balance in the county budget, no funds are available to pay salaries of the eleven additional men requested by Sheriff Sumner. "Athough the council favored the move, we have found it absolutely impossible to raise a pennny for the new deputies,” it was explained. Gratified at the prompt action of the council in approving the new armaments. Sheriff Sumner declared ‘‘he would make out, somehow,” without additional men. A pinched financial condition likewise may block the efforts of A1 G. Feeney, state safety commissioner, to enlarge the state police force. When Mr. Feeney’s request was presented to Governor Paul V. McNutt, the Governor replied he was in accord with the plan, and would approve it if financial arrangements could be made. A check of budget resources is being made.

ROBBER VISITS CHURCH Steals Fifty-Four Teaspoons Valued at $5.40 From Kitchen. Fifty-four teaspoons, valued at $5.40, were stolen from the kitchen of the Forty-Ninth Steet Christian church.

Kill that COLD! Don’t Merely Coddle It with Half- Way Measures! A cold is nothing to trifle with! It may end seriously. A cold, being an internal infection, calls for an internal treatment. It also calls for a COLD remedy and not something good for a number of other things as well. Grove’s Laxative Bromo Quinine is what a cold requires. It is expressly a cold remedy. It is direct and internal—and it does the four things necessary. It opens the bowels, combats the cold germs and fever in the system, relieves the headache and grippy feeling and tones and fortifies the entire system. Anything less than that is taking chances with a cold. Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine is sold by all druggists. 30c and 50c. Accept no substitute.—Advertisement.

SAFETY BOARD APPROVES GARB OF SALLY RAND Policewomen Cheer Dancer: Nudist Film Given Moral 0. K. The Indianapolis safety board went liberal today as three policewomen cheered for Sally Rand of fan dance fame, and Donald Morris, safety board member, voiced approval of a nudist colony movie shown here. Policewoman Cozetta Osborn, one of three who have watched Miss Rand make up for her dance, said a thick layer of grease paint and powder, several thicknesses of silk

where they would do the most good and the least harm, and a maline makeup substance was sufficient attire for the stage. Agreeing with her were policewomen Nell W. Dunkle and Ruth Haywood. “I consider her performance beautiful,” said police woman Osborn. Mr. Morris told the board he found nothing immoral about the nudist movie, but that the management of the theater showing it had been amenable to suggestions to remove some suggestive outdoor advertising. Police Chief Mike Morrissey refused today to allow the police post of the American Legion to march in the Armistice day parade here. He said it would set a precedent which would make it difficult for him to refuse any group desiring policemen to march in their parades. Furthermore, said Morrissey, he needs all available men in readiness during Indiana’s “terror wave” as a gang of convicts roamed the state. Motorcycle police will patrol the procession.
