Points Are Clarified. Clarification of points in the new act as they affect corporations operating within the state borders but doing their major business outside the state formed the major theme ! of the judge's decision.

Generally, the judge held that, receipts of corporations or firms, whether retail or wholesale, from outride the state could not be taxed at the rate of 1 per rent for retail business and one-fourth of l per cent on wholesale income. Appeal May F.nsiie Excerpts from his decision, which may be appealed to higher courts,! follow: That, the Standard Oil is not j obliged to pay to the staC* of In- ; diana any tax on that portion of receipts obtained from sale of any bonds or notes issued by any municipal corporation within the state which was issued prior to the grass j income tax law's enactment. •That the plaintiff is not obliged to pay to the state of Indiana any tax on receipts obtained by interest or from the sale of any securities of the federal government and all of these receipts arc exempt from taxation. No Extra-State Tax ••Plaintiff is not obligated to pay state of Indiana any tax on sales of products manufactured in Indiana and sold to customers in other states where such products arc transported in interstate commerce from this state to customers in other states. ‘The tax applied to grass income is at rate of 1 per cent if such receipts are paid from retail sales and it is one-fourth of 1 per cent, if such receipts are from wholesale sales. Plaintiff maintains and operates filling stations in Indiana where it sells products of its own manufacture. In ease such sale? are retail, the gross income therefrom is therefore taxable at 1 per rent.," ruled the judge.

ROOSEVELT TO JOIN FIGHT ON NRA ABUSES President Said Considering Restoring Anti-Trust Legislation. By United Press WASHINGTON. May 22.—Assurance came today to the little man and the although the Darrow board will die in nine days President Roosevelt himself is taking up the burden of protecting them under the NRA. This was the w'ord that came through the smoke and shot of as spectacular a battle of words as the new deal has seen. On one side was ranged the Na : tional Recovery Review Board headed by the veteran fighter, Clarence Darrow. On the other was the NRA administration with doughty General Hugh S. Johnson leading the attack. Senators, congressmen, government officials, the press and t>% public were rapidly aligning in camps from the extreme represented by Mr. Darrow to the outposts of General Johnson. New Statements Pending New statements were in the making to add to the board's original attack on the NRA as a promoter of industrial monopoly, Mr. Darrow's suggestion that Socialism be substituted for the blue eagle, and General Johnson's vitriolic criticism of the board, to which he added new details last night. Mr. Darrow’s colleagues said he had anew statement ready regarding the President’s intention to abolish the board May 31. No formal comment was forthcoming from the White House regarding the controversy except for the announcement that the Darrow board would cease to exist with the end of May. However, it was learned that the President was impressed with the dangers to small business and consumers inherent in the NRA. Protection Is Planned He plans to take whatever action j is necessary to protect their interests and some said he was ready to ! propose restoration of anti-trust \ laws if it could be shown that this is needed to correct the situation. That monopolistic abuses exist under the NRA, as charged by the Darrow board, was admitted even by General Johnson in his latest utterance. “Perhaps there are some monoplistic abuses of the codes,” said General Johnson. “If so. we want to know them, but there are no monopolistic codes.” Specific Information Asked General Johnson claimed the Darrow board failed to note specific instances of abuses and asked for such information. Whether the Darrow board would supply data to the satisfaction of General Johnson seemed unlikely, but it was continuing its work today unperturbed by news that it would shortly go out of existence or by the furor. A second report on code practices is being prepared and hearings are being held as usual. The second report was hinted as more critical than the first. Darrow Ready to Quit Mr. Darrow was not prepared to fight for the board's existence, but he felt certain the country would demand reform of the recovery agency. “Whenever they want us to quit we will,” said the tiring battler. “I didn't want to undertake this job at the beginning.” Other board members took a slightly different attitude. Lots of Work Ahead “We have lots of work to do and we are sailing into it as heavily as we can,” Board Member Samuel C. Henry said. “Unless we are called off we are going to finish the job. Mr. Henry said Mr. Darrow had been authorized to make a statement regarding the abolition of the board. There is speculation whether the board contemplated denying any prior agreement existed for termination of its duties May 31. It was intimated at the White House that Mr. Roosevelt. NRA Administration Hugh S. Johnson and Mr. Dari'ow had such an understanding. Yesterday's blistering report was on eight codes. Lowell Mason, board counsel, said today that hearings were scheduled to June 15. In the report due this week the board will discuss ten or more other codes, including the petroleum and cement fair practices agreements. CANAL IS DISCUSSED Frank C.
