CODE EAGLES TO BE DISTRIBUTED
 IN NEAR FUTURE
Permanent MIRA Insignia to Members of Codi-
 fled Industries

Washington, April 1S-(UP)- Distribution of code eagles, perma- rient MIRA insignia, to all members of codifled industries, will start In a day or two, 1t was learned to- day. Application blanks will be available at postofi1ces.
 The code eagle Is similar to the original blue eagle. with the name of the industry and the registra- ton number of the industry menn- ber added. The distribution, was delayed until the manner of financ- ing code administration was de- cided. A controversy arose az to whether the eagles should be given to firms which did not contribute their proper assessments to code
 The presidents executive order providing that all members of coded industries contribute to code administration, and classifying re- fusaI to pay as a code violation, removed that obstacle.
 Applicants will be asked for a simple statement of compliance, and possibly more detailed infor-
 Administrator Hugh s. Jornson had planned to put on high-pow- cred drive advertising the code eagle as the registered symbol of patriotic compliance with recovery aims, urging consumers to pur- chase only where 1t is displayed. He called back for this publicity job Charles F. Horner, Kansas City publicist famed for Liberty loan drives and for the blue eagle campaign last August.
 Horner has not said whether he will conduct another spectacular campaign but plans are expected to be announced shortly.
