which would take over the new deal program. WASHINGTON, July 12 Clearing the way to his hoped for retirement, Gen. Hugh S. Johnson late yesterday laid down a basic rode for uncodified trades and industries and a.-ked employers to sign up within thirty

days.

The step will clean up 22(5 pending codes, but it is estimated that half of these, on which hearings have been held, will be ' executed as separate agreements. Within a short time i! is expected the total of about 500 codes will be .-lashed to less than 300, paving the way for a commis-ion to take over direction of NRA, ns Johnson sugge- ted in a letter to President Roose-

velt.

An “invitation” to employers to join the basic code covered the “big stick” which may he wielded if em ployers do not pledge to improve working conditions. An NRA state-

ment said:

“If any of those remaining out at the end of thirt> days appear to be I hartroring abuses of labor, a hearing to determine whether a labor code shall be imposed will be given them v.thin ten days, or forty days from

t idiiy.”

Hour and wage provisions in the ba ic code are left blank, with the

mrnt from County Agent E. W. i Baker: “Officials for the state corn-hog I hoard inspected our corn-hog applies- ! tions Monday, July 9. I am glad t-> i say that things look favorable and within a few lays, I believe, our papers will pass inspection. This means that we can got the contracts made and return them to respective townships for their signatures, and get them on the way to Wa -hingt m. I here will not !>e any horizontal cut, res' assured of that. Tiie cuts that will be made are those applications ti.iil are in question. Unless you are well acquainted with the strict rules •■nd regulations, you will not aiipre•i ito what a leg task i* is t i get all :heso applkations in good shape, so *1 ey will p i - the strict inspection. 'The county committee, composed of the following: O. A. Day, Marion township: Ivan Runrk, Madison township; Walter Beam, Jackson town ship; and Ross Alice, Cloverdalo township, have been working strenuously, especially the chairman, Mr. Day, who can be found on the job < '.rly and late, practically every day of the week except Sunday. They :t"e to be commended, as they have volunteered to help us put the plan niough. They have neglected their own work, and are holding expenses to the minimum. The com hog men of Putnam county are fortunate to have such type men as the corn-hog committee. Also, Vernon Gardner, of Russellville, head tabulator, has been most faithful. “All in all, the men are doing their best to put the plan through as soon as possible with minimum expense. We are happy to say that the big task, we believe, is done. Again in reply to the question that is often asked: ‘When do we get our checks?’ Just as soon as it is possible for us to get them here. Unless some unforeseen obstacle comes up, we believe it will be only a few more weeks. It is true that ■ onir counties are ahead of us, but this is due to the fact that their sign-up wa not nearly so heavy as ours, and we ought to he proud of the Putnam county farm- i ers as we have a 95 per cent sign- I

up.”

DEMOCRATS PREPARE FOR FALL DRIVE

GOV. M’NUTT TELLS CANDIDATES DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE IMPERATIVE. STATE OFFICIALS ARE HEARD One Day Council Of War Held In Preparation For Fall Campaign INDIANAPOLIS, July 12, (UP)— Armed with information provided in a one-day council of war. Democratic candidates for state offices and the legislature today were prepared to campaign for support of tite state administration’s program. Mora than two-thirds of the legislati x nominees and holdover senators attended the meeting here yesterday to hear 11 stale officials disenss the 1933 legislative program and its administration. Each of the candidates and party workers was given copies of the speeches and instructions to use that information to combat “erroneous Republican propaganda.” The state administration speakers praised each other for co-operation in carrying out the Democratic program and reviewed their work for the benefit of the candidates. Election of a Democratic legislature t is fall in order to give the state administration's program a chance to prove i s value was do manriod by Gov. P :ul V. McNutt. Ho urged that the candidates study information provided by the administration leaders and conduct vigorous speaking campaigns rn those issues. Most vigorous defense of the 1933 legislature was made by Anderson Ketehnm. Greensburg, present secretary of the state hoard of tax commi.ssinm rs, who was majority leader in the last state senate. Ke'.chum denied that the last legislature was a dominated rubber stamp. In explaining the prmnpt enactment of administration supported measures be raid; “The legislature did however, in the light of platform pledges, inspired by the rr'i‘.chless leaderdiip of Paul McNutt, move f nward ,n the discharge of a clear duty.” He credited the intangibles and gross income tax law.- enacted by the legislature with answering b tig agita'.ion for a broadening of the tax I 't-e and defended the importer svstem established under the le er law. “There would have been a storm of protest if t o legislature had failed to prov do moans of t:\ing beer shippe' into th' . ote,'’ Ketchur said. “The legislature i tabl; hed the importer system to expedite ' i collec-

tion.”

1’lea.s Greenlee, patronage d;-pen-'s for the ndmini-tia’ion, defended his dis rihution of jobs and di-missal of "disloyal" empb ye.. He (ienied the h i.- he omo a dictator of the -t iti hut -aid party platform pledges merely ha 1 been carried out under t lea i rship of the 'hief executive.
