SMITH RAPS
GOVERNMENT
IN BUSINESS

CHICAGO, Oct. "a. U.P)-Criti-
cism of government meddling" in
private industry was made by Al
Smith, former New York governor,
in an address at a Century of Pro-
gress exhibition.
With a wide sweep of his hand to
indicate the miles of mechanical, in
dustrial and scientific exhibits,
Smith compiented I'VE have here
examples OF the progress of indus
try made b! private initiative of free
men,"
ut is notable that government, as
such has contributed little to this
progress, and, as matter of fact,
might be criticized for meddling
with this progress through too many
bureaus" Smith said.
Regardless of motive, we have
found that private initiative pro-
duces the desired results, and, when
another hundred years have passed,
let us h>pe that another Century OF
Progref6 may be celebrated by free
men, men with freedom protected
by tie constitution
Smiths declaration that govern
ment is at its best when it supple
ments and cooperates with private

delivered as guest of honor at the

DRAWING BATTLE LINES FOR
FIGHT ON PRICE CONTROL

wages of store labor, to be fixed
and published from time to time
by the trade authority Stores
with five or fewer employees in
towns of less than $500 are exempt
not only from this but from all
other provisions of the code.
The issue affecting all other
stores now is how much of the la
bor costs the trade authority will
decide should be included in the
prices below which goods cannot be
sold.
Those within the NRA who
fought to the last for the cost plus
10 per cent plan expressed conf
dence that the mark-up to be rec
commended by the trade authority
would be close to that figure. They
believed it would prove more ac-
ceptable when presented, as it now
will be, as a mark-up to cover part
of actual labor costs.
May Grant Exemptions
The trade authority of three
members is expected to be appoint
ed quickly. 1t will have the
assistance of a national retail trade
council composed of members of
each division of retail trade. NRA
officials favoring a substantial min
imum mark up expressed belief
that these agencies would lose no
time in working out the necessary
formulae as most retailers are anx-
ious to strengthen the "Stop loss
provisions of the code without de-
lay. They anticipated that prob
ably half dozen markups of vary
ing percentages would be worked
out for varying types of stores in
which labor costs differ
Administrator johnson urged the
small town stores to continue un-
der the blue eagle if possible. 9th
erwise they will be granted an
eagle with exemption chevrons. -
Recovery officials conceded there
probably would be flood of pro-
tests at the outset from stores that
have been out of sympathy with
the blue eagle. They believe, how
ever, that the highly competitive
nature Of retail trade would make
the code self-policing to large
degree.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. "a. U.P) -

Her original complaint was with"
drawn and a new complaint filed
just previous to today's hearing.
The new complaint omitted charges
of physical cruelty which the first
had contained.

BODIES To De
EXHUMED IN
DEATH QUIZ

LOS ANGELES, Oct. "a. U.P) -
Two graves in Glendale cemetery
were to be opened today by police,
investigating a series of deaths
among relatives and friends of G.
l.. Cline. held in San Bernardino
county Jail on suspicion of rob-
berry charge.
Authorities planned to exhume
the bodies of Cline S wife, Bessie,
who died last month, and her bro
ther, Lucas Brant McCreery, who
died in March, in order to ascer-
tain if they actually died of heart
attack as written in their death
certificates.
The exhumation order was issued
by Superior Judge Hartley Shaw
after district attorney investigat-
ors described how the suspect had
been named beneficiary in the
victims life insurance policies.
Delving deeper into Cline's ac-
tivities, Blayney Matthews, chief
special investigator, dispatched an
agent to Bakersfield to inquire in
to the death of the Rev. E. F.
Jones, 68, retired Long Beach min
lister, after purportedly naming
Cline beneficiary of his estate. Mat
thews said he learned Cline accom-
panied Jones to San Francisco and
that returning they stopped at Paso
Robles where the 68-year-old cleric
executed will, leaving Cline prop
erty value at $11, 900.
Cline was present when Jones
died in a Bakersfield hotel, June
%, 1882, Matthews said. The body
was cremated after an autopsy re-
vealed dilation OF the heart.
Authorities said they we're also
checking circumstances surround
ing the death of Cline's first wife
at Ft. Collins, Colo, eight years
ago. A son and friend were
questioned.
Cline. who maintained an elab-
crate residence at Glendale, was
arrested in San Bernardino last
week after Martin Frame, elderly
Los Angeles resident, accused him
of robbing him of $3.50 while they
were travelling across the desert
Frame was seized with a mysteri-
Gus illness and was told by ply
sicians he had been drugged. Two
ounces of poison were found in
Cline IS machine, police said. He
was held on a charge of suspicion
of robbery with narcotics.

FEAR TROUBLE
IMMINENT IN
|. A. STRIKE

LOS ANGELES, Oct. "a. U.P) =
Police ranks were ordered rein-
forced today to avert a new out
break of violence in the strike OF
1000 Los Angeles garment workers.
Renewed disorders were feared
after negotiations to restore peace
in the industry collapsed with man.
ufacturers refusing to arbitrade diff
ferences without qualification In
resolution to Campbell MacCul-
Tough, NRA mediator, the ASso-
ciated Apparel Manufacturers de-
clined to submit the dispute to an
impartial committee of citizens un-
less "the present strike is called off
or truce be called"
mccullough promptly rejected
the offer.
Under my instructions from the
national labor board, no authority
is given me to proceed under i'm
posed conditions" Mccullough
said My instructions are to obtain
from both parties an agreement to
submit their dispute to an arbitra-
ton committee of impartial citizens
and to abide by the decision of that
committee"
MacCullough told the manufac-
turers the International Ladies'
Garment Workers union, guiding
hand in the strike, had agreed to
submit the case to arbitration with
out qualification
The truce proposal was termed by
union leaders ''the old, old ruse" de-
signed to balk all claims of striking
workers.
Strikers have refused to return to
work until the union is recognized
and they have been given a new
wage scale and maximum work

GOVERNMENT
MAKES LAST
SALE OF GOLD

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. (U.P) -
President Roosevelt has decided,
the White House said today, that
the first purchase of new gold will
be made tomorrow in his program
to raise commodity prices and con-
troll dollar fluctuation.
At tn esame time, it was learned
at the treasury that the govern
ment s pracice of selling newly
mined gold abroad for American
producers would be abandoned. As
the government plans to pay above
the world gold price it was believ-
ed unnecessary for the treasury
to sell gold abroad for American
mines. The treasury made its last
sale of gold abroad today for Amer
ican miners at a price of S29.80 an
ounce.
The officials designated by the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton to carry out gold purchases
will meet in the office of the secre-
tary of the trasury proram at $50
am. and the purchase price, which
will be slightly higher in the
London and Paris gold markets,
Will be completed before 10 clock.
Those who will assemble at the
treasury, it was said, will be Jesse
Jones, chairman of the RFC, sec
retary of the treasury, and Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., governor of the
Farm Credit administration, who
will represent the President.
30 H.
purchase tomorrow, the White
House made clear, would come
from the treasury department.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.--Battle
lines for a new fight over retail
price control were being drawn to-
day in trade circles and the NRA.
Far from disposing the issue, a
master retail code promulgated
yesterday by the president to take
effect next Monday seemed mere
ly TO have defined the limits with
in which the controversy now will
be fought to a finish.
Knocking out an original provi-
sion to ban sales of goods at less
than wholesale cost plus 10 per
cent, the code forbids sales at less
than cost with the added declara-
ton that "the selling price of ar
ticles TO the consumer should in
clude an allowance for actual

Public health work and it's i'm
portance to the nation formed the
theme for the program given this
noon for the Lions club by DR.

nurse.
DR.. Fox spoke Of the aim of the
public health work which is pre-
ventative in nature, seeking to COR
rect causes and prevent the occur
renee of i'll health. Discussing it
from the national standpoint, he
spoke of the death rate and the
preventative measures to be used
in cutting it down. Out of 45,000,-
900 children in the public schools,
the speaker declared that approx
mately 100000 have some health
defect
b. During the year 1929, 1859 000,-
900 was spent by the people of the
United States for health work, doc
tors, hospitals. medicines, etc. This
averaged $5.49 per capita, while the
average for the public health serv-
ice was ST. per capita.
Miss Eicke spoke of her work, de-
scribing herself as trouble
shooter and gave an account of
one days work which included in
spection of schools, visits to the
home, examination of cases, con-
facts with social agencies and
many other details.

PER CAPITA COSTS
IN LOCAL SCHOOLS
ARE BELOW OTHERS
Bismarck's Average School Ex.
penditures Under Those Of
State, Nation

Only $1l1,577.16 was spent by Bis.
marck public schools for the 1932-l933
year, the lowest expenditure in many
years, 1t is announced by H. o. Sax.
vik, superintendent
OF the total, SAL ,2240l was spent by
the high school for a per capita aver
age Of $50 per student while $70,353.15
went to the grade schools, the grade
pupil per capita being $47.39.
The average per capita costs Of
pupils in both the high school and
grade schools last year was $3.50.
Per capita costs throughout the state
tor 1932-1933 are not available, Sax
vik says, but figures for previous years
show Bismarck's per capita expendi-
ture was much below the average for
both the state and nation.
For the year l930-1931 the average
per capita cost in all high schools in
the state was $1O7.86 per student and
s9935 for the year 193l-l932. Bis
marck per capita cost was $6.7l lower
than the average for the state in
1930-193l and $3.50 per capita less
than the average for the state in
1931-1932.
According to the Department of
Education at Washington, D. c., the
average cost in all public schools, both
grade and high school, in the United
States, was $86.52 per pupil in 1881
1882 while the per pupil cost in Bis
lnarck, for the same period was $7054
or $15.98 less per pupil.
Amounts spent by Bismarck schools
for the last II years were listed by
Saxvik as follows:
