year period showed that more than four

is among these small banks that most
Of the failures have occurred. Seventy

Over 40 per cent failed in towns with
between 500 and 1000 population; 20
per cent IN towns from 1000 to $500.

BY the Associated Press.

The Commerce Department reports
that automobile production during Feb
ruar" was as large as in December de-
spite difficulties experienced during the
month as result Of the labor and
banking troubles.
These labor troubles. the department
said, were centered in the body plants,
but the effect was sufficient to cause
a general curtailment of activity in the
industry. Normally there is seasonal
increase in production in February.
Some improvement occurred at the
end of the month of February, the de-
partment said, but was interrupted by
the banking difficulties. March pro-
duction was much below February, as
the banking holiday brought production
almost to q comblete standstill.

RETAIL CODE.
BANS PRICE
CUTTING
Gloss Limitation" Provisions
Cause NRA Split; Majority
Of Dealers Approve
By International News Service

Provisions to curb ruinous
price cutting among 100000
retailers are retained in a
proposed code Of fair compe-
tition for the retail trades
made public today by Deputy
NRA Administrator A. D.
Whiteside.
The code, which is before Hugh
s. johnson, Recovery Administra-
tor, was made public as represent
ing the views Of majority Of re-
tailers and has not been approved
ihy the NRA.
Prices Cause Rift
The price provisions Of the
code, described by opponents as
price fixing and by Whiteside as
''loss limitations" are the subject
of bitter dispute within the
MIRA. Whiteside said the Con-
sumers Advisory Board, which has
protested, was not consulted in
the framing of the code.
Retailers, under the code, must
sell goods for at least 10 per cent
more than the wholesale delivered
price.
In addition, a resale price pro-
vision is included for the retail
drug trade. It declares that
standard trade-marked drug prod
ucts, with prices marked by the
manufacturer, cannot be sold at a
discount of more than 81 per cent.
Whiteside said:
"What is proposed is not
price fixing; it is a loss imita-
ton. It does not guarantee a
profit because the limit applies
only to wholesale prices and
does not consider the cost Of
store operation"
Food Stores Omitted
Code provisions affecting the
retail drug trade were included
both in the general code and as a
to meet the demand
of druggists for separate treat
ment. Food stores are not in
cluded.
Several boards would be estab-
lished. They include a retail
