pIgniIee TATE TRADE BARRIERS
Five Officials Governor After U. S.
Urges Elimination.
What trade barriers, if any, Insdiana must eliminate during the war to conform to the federal government’s request were to be decided upon at a meeting in the governor's office late today.
Scheduled to attend were tive |
state officials who were in Washington last week when trade bartiers were discussed with officials of 48 states.
Attorney General George Beamer, one of those who attended the Washington meeting, said he believed Indiana laws affecting transportation were more liberal than the standards proposed by the government and hence would have fo be changed only slightly.
: May Affect Semi-Trailers
One of the probable changes will pertain to the length and ‘height of semi-trailers. stricts their length to 40 feet and their height to 12 feet while the federal government recommends that they be permitted to be 45 feet in length and 12% feet in height. Mr. Beamer pointed out that Indiana can conform to this request by simply announcing that the present law will not be enforced. . “The state is.in good shape as far as trade barriers are concerned,” the attorney general said. “Our reciprocity agreements cover most of the things the federal government is hitting at.”
Insist on Gross Income Tax
' There are no state labor laws impeding the war effort since only a day or two after Pearl Harbor Labor Commissioner Thomas R. Hutson announced that the state would not enforce the law proe hibiting the employment of women in factories after midnight. . - “There is one thing we will lock . horns on, if the federal government goes ahead with it,” the attorney general said. “That is the proposed exemption of Indiana war indusfates from paying the gross income ” *
Hadden, Dawson to Attend
Since practically all Indiana in- _ dustry is now turned to war work, such a move would bring about a serious financial crisis in the state government. Scheduled to attend the conference with the governor in addition to Mr. Beamer are Samuel Hadden, highway commission chairman; Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson, L. Hewitt Carpenter, secretary of the Indiana committee on interstate co-operation, Carl Hedges, representing the dairy industry, and Mr. Hutson.
RULES TOMORROW ON NEW PAYNE TRIAL
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, May 11
(U. P.).—Special judge Charles B. Staff was expected to rule tomorrow on a defense motion to postpone the second murder trial of Mrs. Caroline G. Payne. Proceedings were scheduled to open May 21 but defense attorneys asked yesterday that the trial be held over for the fall term of court because of the defendant’s poor health. Dr. H. W. Byrn, Bloomington, was appointed by the court to examine Mrs.- Payne and to report by tomorrow. Certificates filed with the defense motion asserted Mrs. Payne was suffering from arthritis, loss of weight and sleep, an extremely nervous condition and “other ailments.” Prosecutor Sylvan Tackitt opposed the motion but agreed to abide by the court-appointed physician’s report. In presenting the motion, Defense Attorney J. Frank Regester asserted “There is a very real danger that a trial at this time might even cause her (Mrs. Payne's) death.”
SEEK TO REACH FOUR IN MINE
EAGERVILLE, II, May 11 (U. P.) —Eight-man crews continued rescue operations, 350 feet below ground level today in an attempt to reach four miners trapped more than 65 hours.ago when water and gas poured through a broken wall in the Superior Coal Co.’s Mine No. 1.

SUGGESTS JOINT
METER READING
Indiana Gas Head Cites Way Utilities Can Meet Manpower Problem.
Joint reading of gas, electric and water meters was cited today by F. B. Culley, president of the Indiana Gas association, as a way for util-
ities to meet the manpower problem. Mr. Culley addressed the opening session of the 32d annual convention of the Indiana Gas association, being held at the Claypool hotel today through tomorrow. He said that a plan for quarterly readings is being studied by many companies because of the manpower problem and the increasing difficulties of transportation.
Proud of Service Record
He advocated, in his address to gas company officials, that salesmen be switched to service work. “If we can’t sell appliances let’s concentrate on selling service. Do we not have a patriotic duty to help our customers get more out of their appliances and to keep them in repair?” he said. The association president said he was proud of the record of the industry of asking for few draft deferments for its employees.
Schricker Opens Session
Governor Schricker opened the convention. He told the 300 gas company officials that “we have not time today for the person or company that -is concerned with piling up personal or company profits. We must help one another, including “our competitors if we are to win this war.” Albert O. Evans, district manager of priorities for the war production board, conducted an open forum at the morning session.

Dr. C. P. Stout, veterinary, said the ‘cat might have been the one that was trapped although it didn’t appear to have gone without food for any length of time. However, fur found during the digging the last 17 days at the Tamm residence matched the wandering yellow cat. This was the second cat found over the week-end. The other was “Dopey,” 5 months old kitten that disappeared from the home of a neighbor. “Dopey” at first was believed to be the one haunting the Tamm residence. However, “Dopey” wears a bell and the Tamm’s had heard no peals intermingled with meows. “Dopey” returned home Sunday. She had wandered off in pursuit of neighborhood squirrels.
WHOLESALE PRICE CONTROL IS BEGUN
WASHINGTON, May 11 (U. P.): —The first phase of the government’s over-all price control program went into effect today. Manufacturers’ and wholesalers’ prices went back at midnight to the highest price charged during March, 1942. The next step in the program— the one that affects consumers directly—comes a week from today when millions of retail prices revert to the highest price charged in March, 1942. The plan—to help control. the spiral of the cost of living—will continue in effect for the duration. Under present plans, not until peace returns will the freedom of unrestricted price changes return.

HONESTY URGED IN QUIZ ON GAS
Honor System to Be Used When Rationing Starts
In Eastern States.
WASHINGTON, May 11 (U. P.). —The amount of gasoline eastern motorists will be allowed to buy starting Friday will depend on “honor system” answers given during registration this week, office of price administration officials said today. Registration for gasoline cards starts in the elementary schools tomorrow. Effective Friday, a motorist must have a card to buy gasoline in the District of Columbia and 17 eastern states. Ration cards will vary from those for non-essential motorists who will be allowed about three gallons of
doctors, government officials and other essential services—“X” cards —which will allow purchase of an unlimited quantity.
Depend on Honesty
The type of card issued will depend upon a motorist’s answer to this question: “What is the total average daily mileage customarily ‘driven in the car described above to and from work ahd to carry on work?” The applicant’s word will be taken for the answer given and officials said they were depending upon the honesty of the American people to prevent “chiseling.” They conceded that there was the possibility of falsification or exaggeration by some persons, but said they depended upon public pressure to take care of that.
Can Get 21 Gallons
If the motorist answers that his total essential daily average mileage is less than six miles, he will get an “A” ration card, good for 21 gallons of gasoline during the 47day period from May 15 to July 1, when a permanent rationing system will be set up. If the motorist drives from six to 10 miles daily, he gets ration eard “B-1" good for 33 gallons; 11 to 14 miles, A “B-2” card good for 45 gallons, and more than 14 miles, a “B-3" card for 57 gallons. Busses, trucks and other commercial vehicles which are clearly identifiable will not need any cards at all.
Urges Coal Buying
WASHINGTON, May 11 (U. P). —American consumers today faced an ultimatum. from War Production Board Chief Donald M. Nelson to stock-pile coal “at once to the limit of storage capacity” or face the possibility of rationing of the fuel because of transportation difficulties. In an open letter to consumers Mr. Nelson said coal dealers needing financial aid may obtain it from the Reconstruction Finance Corp. or through local banks if they purchase coal for shipment from the mines before Aug. 1, 1942. “Complete co-operation with this program will help the nation avert serious problems,” Mr. Nelson said. “We must stock-pile to the limit. I know I can depend on your help.” He said transportation problems will increase in coming months, but railroads and other transportation facilities still have some surplus carrying capacity which should be utilized now to avoid serious transportation dislocations next fall and winter.
Supply Defense Cars WASHINGTON, May 11 (U. P).
’| —Vehicles engaged in civilian de-|.
fense activities or “meeting an acute emergency involving life, health or property” may obtain gasoline without a ration card, the office of price administration said today. Individuals obtaining gasoline while on civilian defense activities must show a gasoline dealer their official identification.
Colored Sheets Curbed
WASHINGTON, May 11 (U. P). —Manufacturers of bed sheets were
?| requested today by the war produc-
tion board to stop making and selling colored sheets, colored sheeting and sheets with colored edges after July 1. The action was taken to conserve dye.
