CHAIN STORE
RIDDLE FACES
REVIVAL CHIEFS
Issue Under Recovery Act
Will Involve Most of
Buying Public.
BY HI. O. THOMPSON
limited Press staff Cnrresnondent

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The
first week of administration of the
national recovery act has brought
substantial progress. But several
thorny problems, notably those OF
price-fixing and adjustment of con-
flicting trade interests, were thrust
today into the path of the men who
are recreating economic America.
In the breezy vernacular of Ad-
ministrator Hugh S. johnson, these
problems are "pineapples. The big
pineapple thus far is the coal in
duStry. The chain store problem
promises to become a pineapple of
equal size.
Business men and industrialists,
pushing forward to offer co-opera-
ton, are beginning to discover the
immensely of the recovery program
"a rebuilding of Americas entire
business structure.
Involves All Buyers
The chain store problem is being
worked out here by executives of the
various chain systems groceries,
drugs, shoes, automobile accessories,
restaurants, and the like.
The chain store issue involves all
of Americas purchasers, since de-
velOpment of a code of fair compe
tition involves not only the chains,
but the Independent stores which
compete with them. The old war
between the chains and the indie
pendents is to be fought over again.
Industries want a price fixing
agreement, so that under-selling
may be prevented. johnson, thus
far has refused to discuss price
fixing, although it is permissible
under the law. He stresses two
things as of more Importance
creased wages and shortened hours
of work.
Wants Job First
He puts the emphasis upon
speedy return of millions of work
ers to some form of employment
will increase Americas purchasing
power.
Independent store operators see
in the new law a chance to COM
pete on more even basis with the
chains. They hope, the United
Press was informed, to do this by
eliminating what they contend are
unfair trade discounts to the chain
store.

BARE LOSS IN
BANK HEADED
BY HIGH JUDGE
Shortage Is Revealed by
Report of Examiners
at GreenSburg.

Shortage of $37, 039.65 in the De-
catur county hospitals trust fund
in the Greensburg State bank was
disclosed today in report to Will
liam P. Cosgrove, chief examiner of
the state board of accounts
Chief Justice David A. Myers of
the Indiana supreme court is presi-
dent of the bank. Myers is the only
Republican remaining at the state
house in a major official position.
The examiners report sets out
that Dan Perry, former secretary
and treasurer of the trust fund ard
cashier of the bank admitted sale
of the securities for the benefit of
the bank
The trust fund, consisting of
government bonds and similar gilt
edge securities. was used as de-
posits and for collateral loans to
the bank, Perry is said to have adj
mitted.
Wertz, Major, Scan Books
Clarence M. Wertz and Carl B.
Major, field examiners for the board
of accounts, made the examination.
They reported that on. March ! il,
the trust fund amounted to $82,-
1906, while on June %, it was $45.-
1891, making the 37,038.65 deficit.
Judge Myers was looked upon as
the guiding hand in the banks al
fairs. He spent so much time there
some years ago when the new bank
building was being erected, that it
caused considerable criticism from
his colleagues on the high court.
Last January he got Luther e.
Symons, who was then Republican
state banking commissioner, to
grant a state charter to the bank
which was formerly national
bank. The charter was granted On
Jan 4, 1888.
The institution opened as a state
bank on Jan. 80. 1t was closed bv
Thomas Barr, assistant state bank
ing commissioner, on June z.
Criminal Action Possible
Barr said today that the bank i:
in the hands of the department and
will be liquidated Under the new
law which is effective July l.
Both the banking department and
the field examiners report that
Perry is i'll at his house and can
not be used in checking the bank
books.
There was an $85 900 bond cover
ing the trust fund, Cosgrove re-
ported. The collection will be
turned over to the attorney-gen-
erals office. Possible criminal action
may grow out of the report, it was
indicated.

5-YEAR TARIFF
PLAN TO help
TRADE STUDIED
U. S. Delegation Consider
ing Program for Gradual
Reductions.
BY JOSEPH II. BAIRD
United Press STAFF Correspondent

iCODNrlpnt. 1888. DV UnlteO PRESS
LONDON, June PA "five-year
plan" for the gradual reduction of
tariffs to invigorate world trade is
being studied carefully by the United
States delegation to the economic
conference, the United Press learned
authoritatively today.
This plan, in line with the three
point program laid down by Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull, chairman
of the American delegation, will be
presented to the economic confer
ence in detail if the trend of debate
on Hull's tariff resolution indicates
a chance of acceptance of more
specific measures.
Secretary Hull and the other
members of the United States group,
united behind a program Of concrete
action. are fighting against moves
of economic nationalism" and the
continuation of import quotas, as
suggested by France.
French to Continue Quota
The French, as reported by the
United Press Paris bureau, several
days ago, plan to continue their
import quotas after July /. when the
current second quarter of 1888 eX-
pires. The chamber of deputies
also is planning to increase tariffs
on 100 or more specific articles as
of that date, these dispatches said
Secretary Hull's tariff plans were
made known Immediately, and a
specific program to show in detail
how tariff cuts can be worked out
now is under minute study by his
delegation members and experts, it
was revealed.
The American stand for tariff cuts
gained support today, when Prime
Minister j. Ramsay Macdonald of
Great Britain asserted the major
powers at the conference had turned
their backs, at least momentarily,
on any program IF temporary cur
rency sterilization
He indicated thcy had reached an
informal understanding tantamount
to currency truce, as desired by
President Roosevelt, without de
facto temporary Sterilization.
Seeks to Allay Alarm
MacDonald's chief purpose IN this
statement seemed to be to allay APP
prehensions throughout the world
that a breakdown of the currency
sterilization efforts heralded q cur
rency war
The Americans also succeeded in
winning general support to their
policy of price raising before
Sterilization" The smaller coun-
tries, however now are hopeful
that de facto sterilization yet will
come as a climax to the achieve
ments at the economic parley.
