fortunate that Vern was not much more
robust than the older man with whom
he was making the exchange The gar

was thankful that his black eye had

Vernon assembled the companionway

Truly, it was desperate situation for

Code Evasion Rumored
Ugly rumors of bad faith in
cooperation were heard again
among employers seeking their
blue eagles at the Postoffice De-
partment Building, but so far as
could be learned only one COM
plant has been filed with the
NRA. That was anonymous and
concerned one of the local public
utilities.
The rumor -mongers, who were
unable to cite concrete cases,
charged that in many instances
employers are promoting en-
ployes to executive positions with
out pay increases in order that
the spirit of the 40-hour code
could be complied with and yet
violated.
It also was charged that many
employers are obtaining the blue
eagles without employing addi-
tional help, simply by staggering
their present employees.
Complaints of this nature if
based on fact are expected to
come out definitely in the open
when the campaign gets under
way since, one of the duties of
the manpower division of the
drive will be a block-to block
canvass in which each employer
will be requested to fill out a
QUESTIONABLE showing just how
he is cooperating.
The District Retail Hardware
Association was in session today
at the Mayflower Hotel, seeking
to map out plan for compliance
with the national code.
AS Washington employers con-
tinued to obtain coveted blue
eagles merchants predicted a de-
cided upSwing in local retail
prices within the month.

ing to merchants, will be felt

NRA COMBATS s
'BOOTLEGG|NG'
Of EMBLEMS
Committees Named to Ferret
Out CuIprits; Racket Hits
D. c. and Alexandria

The NRA emblem "bootlegger"
has made his appearance here.
Special committees of the Ma
tional Recovery Administration to-
day begin an intensive campaign
against the new racket, which
started almost as soon as the dis
tribution of Blue Eagles began at
the postoffices here and IN the
neighboring cities of Baltimore
and Alexandria.
It was first revealed yesterday
when grievance committees of
NRA reported merchants who had
not subscribed to the code were
displaying he emblems. Later
this was verified when an AleXan-
dria merchant called the Chamber
of Commerce to inquire the
proper price to pay for the signs.
The committees are also putting
pressure on merchants who have
signed the code and are failing to
comply with its provision.

beavers Families Laid Low
After Picking Berries
In Nearby Hills

LURAY, Va, Aug. 4.-One boy
is dead and IL persons are seri-
ously i'll, two of them in the
hospital here, as a result of a
mysterious food poisoning that
attacked two families at Riley
vile, nine miles south of here.
The dead boy is Carl beavers,
IL, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
beavers. His sister, Linda, 10,
and brother. Donald. 4, are in a
serious condition in the Luray
hospital.
Ten members of the Charles
beavers f a m ly, relations and
neighbors, were stricken with the
poisoning Monday. Health au-
thoritieS are investigating to de-
termine the cause of the attack.
Carl, who was severely stricken
with the poisoning, died last night
from injuries received when he
was thrown from his horse on
the family farm. Doctors said
that he was very weak from the
poisoning and this caused him
to fall from the horse.
Both families had been in the
hills gathering huckleberrieS and
authorities are attempting to
learn if the poisoning was caused
by eating the berries.

Rumors that a man who gave

who was drowned Wednesday near

was a third-year medical student
at Johns Hopkins University, who

that he lived in the 400 block of

there a short time.
Investigations began after a

of whom are located in the Dis
