Move for howdowy In Legislature on Suggested Cut.

(Another Story, Page 16)

' By WILLIAM R. CRABB Attempting to stem what they termed strong sentiment for a merchants’ state-wide gross income tax strike, retailers groups here reported today they are preparing for a “showdown” with the Legislature on their gross tax rate. Lewis F. Shuttleworth, managing director of the Associated Retailers of Indiana, said his organization has been requested by a “large number of dealers” to lead a strike if the Legislature refuses to cut the retail rate schedule. “We have discouraged these at-

‘tempts because we feel that issnot

the logical way to get action,” Mr. Shuttleworth said. “We feel the dealers can get the relief due them

in a less drastic manner.” :

Reports Sentiments

Walter J. Mercer, president of the Indianapolis Retail Meat & Grocers’ Association, said the strike sentiment is strongest in the northern part of the state, but did not appear to be centralized in any particular group.. A third retail association leader,

. who would not be quoted, said the

sentiment appeared to him to be increasing in recent weeks, but that his organization also was attempting to prevent an organized strike movement. The association leaders said they were not ready to announce their complete plans for seeking a rate reduction at this session of the LegShuttleworth - indicated his group probably would work with the House Ways and Means Committee on one of the several bills already introduced, but he would not reveal what rate cut ‘would be sought. Mr. Mercer said the Indianapolis retail grocers would co-operate with similar groups in four jother large cities in backing one of the bills already introduced. He said his organization has prepared a list of 2400 central Indiana merchants who claim they are unable to stay in business if the present rates remain in effect.

Repeal Is Sought The law now requires retailers

to pay 1 per cent tax on their gross

sales above $3000. Various proposals pending in the Legislature

. range from outright repeal to a

one-fourth of 1 per cent cut. The gross income tax law was enacted by the 1933 Legislature in an effort to relieve property owners of a burden made increasingly heavy by depression devaluation. The Indiana Tax Study Commission in its recent report said property values fell from $5,166,896,475 in 1929 to $3,660,832,234 in 1933. ; Farmers and other land-ownin groups naturally favored the change in tax base, but merchants, especially small retailers, charged the gross income levy shifted too much of the load on them. In 1932 ‘the total property tax levied was $140,040,583, while last year it was only: $100,693,684. The Commission’s report states: : “Not all groups have been able to ‘reduce their total tax payments as has been the case with farmers and utilities. , . . Some groups are now paying more taxes than in 1932 and retailers fall in this category.”

BILL TO CHANGE. TAX SETUP DUE

\ Measure Would Abolish Adjusting by County Boards.

A bill to abolish county tax adjustment boards dnd place the sole review of Governmental budgets in the hands of the State Tax Board will be introduced in the Legislature tomorrow by Senator William H. Rupert (D. Brazil). Other bills calling for a total appropriation of $200,000 to establish a State research laboratory to improve Indiana vegetable crops and to provide funds to match Federal grants or a Bang’s Disease control program were being prepared for introduction in the House. Both House and Senate were to reconvene at 1 p. m. following a week-end recess to begin the fourth

week of the 61-day session. While

the introduction of bills has been going forward at a record pace, committee action has been taken on only a few measures. To date there have been. 195 bills introduced in the House and 106 in the Senate. Only one measure, the bill to appropriate $125,000 to pay expenses of the session and legislators’ salaries, has passed both houses and been signed by Governor Townsend. The House has passed and sent to the Senate three bills while the Senate has taken final action on twice as many Senate bills. None of these could be classed as major bills. Strong opposition was reportedly developing .today against another farm bill—a measure to re-enact the State Milk Control Act and continue the State and local milk control boards until June 30, 1941. . Paul C. Wetter, president of the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs, said the entire trength of that organization’s membership would be used to fight reenactment of this law. J3t The State and local milk control boards, which fix prices and control the milk industry, originally were established for two years under terms of a 1935 act, and were recontinued for two years by the 1937 Legislature, Farmers and distributors are said to favor continuation of the control system while many creameries and (Cortinued on Page Two)

THREE ROMIG RINGS BELIEVED MISSING

Reconsider Robbery Motive In Hammer Slaying.

Belief of police officials that three diamond rings valued at $2000 are missing today led detectives to reconsider robbery as the motive in the hammer slaying of Mrs. Carrie Lelah Romig last Tuesday. Mrs. Romig, 54, wife of Harold Daniel Romig, 28, was killed in her apartment at 120 W. 12th St. Members of the family yesterday furnished investigators a list of jewelry Mrs. Romig possessed.- Three diamond rings were not found in Mrs. Romig’s safe deposit box opened last week at a downtown bank, detectives said. Residents in the apartment building said they had seen Mrs. Romig wearing a large diamond ring on Thursday before her death. Mr. Romig was expected to be interviewed further today by detec-

tives. Yesterday, with his attorney,’

James C. Jay, he went to police headquarters to request officials to accompany him to the apartment to get some of his clothing. 1

10 Vessels Fight

Gale Slows Arrival of 10 ~ Cavalier Survivors; Probe to Open.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23 (U. P.)— The 7900-ton tanker Esso Baytown steamed slowly toward New York Harbor today with a cargo of human lives—the 10 survivors of the British ~ flying boat Cavalier— which-it- had plucked fromthe. Atlantic wastes Saturday night. . Its speed reduced by heavy seas, the oil-carrier was proceeding at 11 to 14 miles an hour, : Wrapped in ship’s blankets in the tanker’s cabins, five men and, five women Were recovering from the effects of more than 10 hours of clinging to life belts after. the 20-ton Cavalier, forced down by jce-stalled engines on a regular New York-to-Bermuda flight, had plunged to the bottom. Two of the women . survivors were widows, their husbands, with one member of the crew, having gone. down after hours of struggle with the waves.

Gale Is Subsiding

Shortly before 11 a. m. (Indianapolis Time) Radio Marine was advised that the tanker expected to arrive off Stapleton, Staten Island,

at the entrance of upper New York Harbor in late afternoon and would dock about 4 p. m. at pier 9, North River, where relatives, police and medical aid awaited the survivors. The tanker reported that a tempest which buffeted it during the night was moderating. Yesterday, last night and this morning, the big Standard Oil tanker fought gale winds which whipped the sea into heaving, shimmering mountains, adding to the discomfort of the weakened survivors. Had it not been for the gale lashing all of the North Atlantic coast, they would have arrived last night. Survivors were: Capt. M. R. Alderson, master of the Cavalier, Hamilton, Bermuda; Patrick Chapman, the Cavalier’s dio officer, Hamilton; Mrs. George Ingham, American wife of a Bermuda businessman, Hamilton; Mrs. Donald Miller, wife of the owner of a Lincoln, Neb., department store. Her husband was drowned. Mis. J. Gordon Noakes, wife of a Se fur auctioneer of New York. She was making her first airplane journey. Her husband, who had flown more than 100,000 miles, was drowned. : Neil Richardson. first officer, Hamilton, Bermuda; Miss Nellie Smith, Pembroke, Bermuda; Charles Talbot, a Harvard student, Brookline, Mass.; Mrs. Egna Watson, Bermuda; David Williams, one of the Cavalier’s two stewards.

PREDICT STATE BUSINESS GAIN

I. U. Foirecasfs 1939 Will Be 15 Per Cent Over Last Year.

Trade and industry in Indiana “probably will be 15 per cent better this year than it was in 1938,” the Indiana University Bureau of Business forecast today. But, the report warned, “the present mixture of problems may assert deflationary influence even before the end of 1939.” | “In other words}” says the Indiana Business Review, “although current indications point ‘to a continued short-run improvement, the picture is by no means sound in the sense that there are no circumstances capable of precipitating another collapse. : “Even though this has been true in some degree in past recovery movements, the situation at present has more than the usual number of conflicting factors which may: drive business quite rapidly in either direction.” : The Review shows that business activity in .Indiana for December

was reflected in a four-point rise in the University Business Bureau index of state business conditions. Since June the index has rapidly touched higher ground, the level in December being 34 points higher than in June, according to the review. - “Although the level of business activity in 1938 was considerably under that of 1937,” the Review comments, “the year as a whole may be considered as one which brought a net improvement. “This is true principally because the trend of business during the latter part of the year was definitely upward, and in the light of prevailing conditions is expecting to continue to reach higher ground. “The revival from mid-1938 was the more remarkable because of its apparent strength through a maze of bewildering’ and complex domestic and foreign problems.” : The Review states that in spite of the industrial revival, however, the fact that so many of these disruptions have remained unsolved and that others equally challenging have assumed significant proportions, (Continued on Page Five)

to Congress the report of an

Interdepartmental Committee that drafted a co-ordinated program which would place health activities on a natinoal basis. He did not ask outright adoption of the proposed

program. : He pointed out that the ultimate expenditures proposed by the Committee were
