on the coast. His organization functions smoothly. There are 40 county chairmen in northern Cal ifornla responsible to him. So successful have they been in settling complaints from all sides that less than [ per cent ever come to the attention of the dis trict compliance director. And only seven cascs of the thousands which developed have gone to the national compliance division in Washington for final settlement. MIRA officials here have more difficulty with the cleaning and dycIng industry than with any other. Possibly this is due to the fact that outside of the old indus try, it is the only business which has adopted price fixing in it's code.
 The public definitely is Op-
 posed to price fixing More
 criticism Is heard of the MIRA
 because of the fixed price es-
 tabIishcd by the cleaners and
 dycrs than Of any other feature
 In the administration Of the
 law here.
 Price Cutting Attacked
 Before the code was signed, "cut rate" cleaning and dyclng plants charged 43 cents for clean ing and pressing IL suit. The code Set the figure m $1, and this had to be reduced later.
 Complaint after complaint came to the compliance office of clean CTS who had cut prices in defiance of the code. The case of one ftt.f IL. I..A l.. l.. Washington, with the rccommen- dntion that he be dispossessed Of his "Bluc Eagle"
 CalifornIa's experience with price fixing may prove valuable 10 NltA administrators in Washing ton. When the national recovery act was passed, the state legisla- turc was In session, so 1t adopted q little NRA of It's own. The ORA (California Recovery Act), ag it was called. worked out several codes with price fixing features.
 One of these, tho barbcrs' code. brought wholcAalc criticism. The code fixed the haircut price at G5 cents, the highest ever. Barbers in outlying sections and small towns were compelled 10 charge the same amount for q haircut ab the man in phlatial city hotel ashop.
 ORA is Fading Out
 The public didn't like fl. The business man whose income had been reduced by 50 per cent since 1929 objected to paying prc-dc- precision prices to his barber.
 Then the barbcrs themselves became dissatisfied with the price fixing feature. Less than Il month after its adoption, the code was changed 10 eliminate this objec- Uonnble clause. Now it appears as if the ORA soon will be digcon- tinucd.

thorities might find whether Sta Vlsky had managed 10 hide some of the $30,000,000 which hc took from investors. Including insurance companies who were advised by government officials to buy his bonds from him. He had $2.135 in his pockets when he was brought to the hospital.
 In his pocket also was a certifi- cate of recommendation for tho legion of honor.
 Stavisky spent money lavishly He was seen each night with prom incnt people, he controlled thea tcrs, newspapers, magazines. Then just before Christmas he dropped out of sight. He seems to have told n surprising number of peo- pie that he was ruined. and tha. he intended to commit suicide. The revelation that he had absconded was the greatest financial scandal In years.
 While politicians charged the government with aiding him and protecting him in his flight, agents of the Surcte General were after him.
 Villagers on the outskirts oi Chamonix saw smoke rising from the chimney of villa that had been closed for months. They no. tified police and Inspector Char pentier of the Surcte was called. | The Surcte men. ip company with local constables. surrounded the villa. There was no answer to their firing. They smashed q window. There was the sound Oi q shot, Charpcnticr reported later The police ran through the villa and, coming to locked door broke 1t down. Stavisky, they said was lying on bed, his head bathed in blood from q wound in his right temple. Beside him weeping, was q girl he had taken with. him from Paris.
 Stacisky' was traced here after the Surete> learned he spent Jan. uary l, and 2, at q villa at Bonner vile.
 In view of the charge. that Sta visky was "executed." police were extreme modest. The Surcte men were sure local constables were first through the door; the con stables were sure the Surete men led the way.

Because he has not paid a $25 fine and costs imposed at the Sep- tember session of the common pleas court, Adam Folkman of this city was ordered sentenced to jail to work out the fine when he was arraIgned before Judge Edward J. Finn today.
 He was fined on assault charges growing out his attack on a girl friend. He was placed on proba- ton to pay the fine but no pay ments were reported by Probation Officer William M. Harris. Today, Judge Finn revoked the probation sentenced and the accused was or- dered to jail.
 His counsel, Attorney William K. Lawlor pleaded for the accused, stating he was living with his aged parents on their Cheshire farm and that without him, they would be helpless. Judge Finn said the ac- cused should be taught a lesson, pointing out that the court was not a place to barter. He recalled
