ONLY STORES In CITIES OF
LESS THAN $500 PEOPLE ARE
EXEMPT BY RETAIL CODE
AS Signed by President it
Will Bring Five Million
Employees Under NRA
By ARTHUR F. DEGREVE
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. (UP)
Recovery Administrator Hugh S.
Johnson struck back at his critics
yesterday with a vigorous defense
of the NRA, as a new controversy
fiared over the price control sec
ton of the retail code just signed
by President Roosevelt.
The code, which will bring more
than 100000 additional workers
under the blue eagle, is effective
October 80. 1t seeks to end de-
Structive competition in the retail
industry through a compromise
agreement forbiddirg sale of an
article for less than invoice cost
plus a portion of the wages pail
to store employees.
Stores in cities under $500
population employing five or less
workers, with the exception Of
chain stores and factories, are eX-
empt. Food stores are not includ-
cd in the code and will be dealt
with separately.
First opposition to the "stop
loss" section, however, came from
one of the influential food groups
the National Association of Re-
tail Grocers. Hector Lao, repre-
sentative of the association, in
terpreted the price provision of
the retail code to mean the AAA
would reject the grocers' request
for a provision requiring 7 IL
per cent MAKEUP over invoice
cost in the food code.
"Rejection of this would mean
that between 10000 and 10000
Independent grocers will be driven
out of business within 60 to 80
DAYS." he told the United Press.
ENDS "STOP LOSS"
CLAUSE CONTROVERSY
General Johnson's announce
.nent that the President had signed
the retail code ended a three
month struggle over the contro-
versial "stop loss" provision. The
original proposal to ban sales at
less than cost plus 10 per cent
was fought bitterly by the con-
sumers' advisory board, many in
fluential retailers, and labor and
farm leaders.
The failure of the code to con-
tain the 10 per cent or any other
specific price figure was hailed by
one faction in the recovery admin
istration as a beginning of end OF
price fixing by the government
One official predicted that price,
control sections would be revised
or eliminated when codes in which
thew are contained come up for
consideration.
There was a sharp difference OF
opinion among government lead
ers last night whether the exemp-
ton of retail stores in small towns
from the code provisions would
enable them to compete more Ell
fectively with chain stores, when
come under the code.
"That is the reason we made
the exemption" said Deputy Ad-
ministrator Whitside who presld-
cd at hearings on the code.
Other government experts, how,
ever, insisted that even with cost
of labor included in the selling
price of an article, the chain store OF
still will be able to undersell the
independent owner because of the
wide margin in operating, costs
available to the chain through
wholesale purchases. H.

KARLOFF STARS !. IN CAPITOL'S THRILL PICTURE
Strange Drama Disclosed in Old Dark Horse at
 Local Theatre Tonight

A strange drama of one exciting night sp.nt by group of travel CTS in a lonely welsh manor, The Old Dark House,' opens at the Capitol theatre tonight.
 The play was written by J. B. Priestly and tells a story of travel CTS on week end vacation who are caught in a howling storm and forced to seek sheltersfor the night in an ancient, bleak house where family of inherent insanity live, ruled by a hulking servant of bru- tai character.
 As the night progresses the gi- gantic brute, resenting the intru- sion, becomes dangerously drunk and threatens the entire household.
 Karloff, who created a sensa- ton in ''Frankenstein,p is said to be even more grotesque and fright ening as the sinister servant.

Steelmakers were represented by the

The weekly review went on;
That the decline which carried the
steel rate down to 80 per cent during
the last week will be arrested soon as
possible, if from no other reason than
the exhaustion of general consumers

the Governments plans can be matured
into steel orders.
Failure of Federal recovery pro-
grams to sustain manufacturing enter
prises dependent on steel and Interrupt

automotive industry, accentuating the
