The triple economic play, illustrated above, is on a new basis in Indianapolis today, following a ruling yesterday by the State Milk Control Board that both quarts and pints of milk are 1-cent more valuable retail than they
were yesterday.
The ruling was made to compensate distributors for increases to dairy farmers.
The rise to the
farmers is to aid them through the drought, which has damaged pastures so that cows must be fed on winter ra-
tions. The triple play? Oh, yes,

Automobile Parking Meters Recommended for Use Here
| Features of System and Revenue Possibilities Are Cited by Donald F. Stiver After Dallas Inspection.
. Parking meters as a means of meeting the automobile parking problem and increasing revenue were recommended today by Donald F. Stiver, state safety director, who urged their installation in Indianapolis.
After inspecting the system used in Dallas, Tex., Mr. Stiver predicted that in a short time cities without parking meters - would be out of date. “There is no reason why meters should not work in Indianapolis and in other large Indiana cities,” Mr. Stiver said.
Dallas Expects $150,000
He pointed out that Dallas has installed 1200 meters in its downtown district. The anticipated revenue for this year is $150,000, he said, and the upkeep will be only $10,000. The most surprising feature, however, was the enthusiasm shown by officials, motorists and, | especially, Inerchants, Mr. Stiver

Mr, Stiver said he was told by city commissioners there. Dallas merchants meters have helped their business, since customers usually can obtain parking spaces near their stores, the safety director said. Mr. Stiver suggested that funds obtained from the meters, on the basis of a 5-cent charge for a given. length of parking time, could be used for police maintenance and safety work.

ry Peats threatened to “give “me some hot lead” unless he joined the union. Peats Cross-Examined
Peats, who was on the stand during a four-hour cross-examination yesterday, said that his union had not authorized the stoning of nonunion trucks. An attempt was made by a group of outside men to organize another truckers’ union and force contracts upon companies doing business with. Local 135 during the summer of 1934, Peats said. “Did you meet some of these men in a local hotel and ‘did one of them have a gun?” Peats was asked. The question was stricken out. Williams said he was at the heme of his wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph T. Doyle, 424 N. Randolphst, the night of March 7, 1934, the time of the Penny incident.
Alibi Is Substantiated
The Doyles and Mrs. Alma Williams, the defendant's wife, substantiated the alibi. During cross-examination, Peats testified to the financial condition of the. union and the number of members. His salary as business agent was $50 a week, he said. Horace Kirkham, Hazelwood, testified that he guarded .the wrecked Penny truck in a field near Belleville during the night of March 7 and early morning of March 8. He said he looked in the truck's cab and searched the field with a searchlight without finding any rocks or stones.
