On furniture, the down pay

The reserve board, however,
just dropped all controls over

spread payments over as long a

Firing Squad
Ends Life Of
Mihailoyic
.fRv. Assoc.ntea Prenrl

BELGRADE, July II. Gen
eral Draja Mihailovic, Chetnik
leader in Yugoslavia from June
1912, to August, 1914, was shot
at dawn today in the yard of the
military prison in this city. Ten
co-defendants also were executed
by a firing squad.
They were charged with trea-
son, war crimes and collabora-
ton with the Germans during
the war.
1t developed, after the execu-
ton, that groups in various
countries in the world had asked
the Yugoslavian authorities to
spare Mihailovic's life.
Several such requests had
been sent from the United States
and Great Britain, but they were
not reported during the trial.
Washington and London re-
ported that no official requests
from the United States and
Great Britain had been made in
the generals behalf.
It was said also that group
of American flyers, who cooper
ated with Mihailovic, had re-
quested to testify in the case, but
the request was refused.

meeting last night amended or
dinances or amendments thereto
on first reading, ordinances As,
section ID, by deleting the word
stock" as this would put hard
ship on those casualty insurance
companies that are not stock
companies.
Amendment was made to sec
ton 8 or ordinance No., 208, reg
ulating the use of garbage cans,
which must be at least of 20 gal
Ions capacity, and that it shall be
unlawful to deposit garbage in a
container other than the kind
specified in the ordinance.
Also passed on first reading
was an ordinance regulating the
height of solid fences to be no
more than six feet on rear line
of any property.
The ordinance providing the
restrictions on keeping live poul-
try in the city limits was passed
on first reading. This ordinance
requires the person owning or
leasing property, on which live
poultry are to be kept, to first
secure a permit from the Mon
roe County Health Unit, author
izing the use of the premises for
such purpose.
The ordinance further requires
that all live poultry be kept in
sanitary screened coops or pens,
free from odors and free from
fly breeding. Also the poultry's
food shall be kept in suitable
container with tight-fighting
cover, so as to be inaccessible
to rats.
Also passed was another ordin-
ance regulating the keeping of
cattle and horses within city
limits. The ordinance provides
that horses or cattle be provided
with completely screened stables,
and that daily collection of the
manure on the premises occupied
by the animals be deposited in
flysproof and waterproof con-
tainers until disposed of by re-
moval to the city dump or trash
pile, and it.. also provides ta9at
premises on, which the horses OF
cattle are kept. be maintained in

$50 SAYS REPRESENTA-
TIVE PAPY, WHO
WILL, AID VOCATE
SUCH A MEASURE
NEXT YEAR

A bill diverting cigarette tax
revenue from the state to cities,
has a fairly good chance of pass
ing at the next session OF the
Florida legislature. Representa-
tive Bernie c. Papy said today.
Il advocated such a measure
at the last session, but learned
that there was not enough senti-
ment in favor of a bill at that
time. but sentiment has since
grown, due largely to the activ-
ity of the Florida League OF
Municipalities" MIR. Papy ex-
planned.
Members of the league were
present at the caucus of repre-
sentatives held in Tampa on Fri
day and Saturday of last week,
and believe that many of them
saw the justice in cities obtain
ing the revenue from the tax on
cigarettes sold in the cities.
ITO make the measure fair, the
intention is to give to each city
the amount spent in taxes on
cigarettes bought in that city.
Thus, Key West would get the
money paid for stamps used on
cigarettes used in Key West"
Mr.. Papy pointed out that the
state gets the bulk of its revenue
from cities and keeps all of it.
Some consideration, he added,
should be given the cities.
with that end in view, think
good beginning could be made
by returning the cigarette tax
receipts to cities" Mr.. Papy con-
tinued. 81 can speak only for my
self, and / would be against the
diversion of the tax returns if the
state was Hard pressed for mon
ey. But the reverse is true. Every
now and then l read stories in
newspapers about the vast SUR
plus the state has in its treasury.
whereas many cities in the state
are struggling to make both ends
meet. ''ia''''an =
"You may tell the people OF
Key West that / will support
bill at the session of the legisla-
ture next year, providing that
tax receipts from the sale of Gig
arettes be given to the cities. The
cigarette tax law was passed as
an emergency" measure during
the Holland administration. That
emergency has passed, and
think that the right thing to do
if the tax is to be continued, Is
to let the cities benefit by it..

tRy Axs"ciAted Press,

WASHINGTON, July II. -
Philip Murray, president of the
CIO, said today that unionists
throughout the country are likely
to demand higher wages should
prices for commodities skyrocket
in the event that the OPA bill,
now under consideration by con-
ferees from the senate and house,
fail to become law that can be
used effectively against initiation.
If prices become 'exorbitant,
Murray asserted, present wages
of Go members will be insuffic-
lent to meet the increased cost of
living.
Spokesman for the A. F. of l..
also said that higher wages will
be demanded for members of
that organization if prices for
commodities skyrocket.
Murray has called together
nine vice presidents in Go to
form an agenda for a three-day
conference that will be begun
here tomorrow. Prices and price
control will be one of the sub
jects that will be discussed, he
added.
Meanwhile, CLIO members have
declared a buyers strike against
the purchase of meats. The strike
is to last three days.
Meanwhile, the Department of
Agriculture reported that in a
week or 10 days there will be ap-
proximately twice as much beef,
with the government stamp on it,
on the market as there is today.
The government is not now
buying beef, he stated, because of
the advance in price.

Credit Control Fight
Due To Become Hotter

A battle over consumer credit
control is going on simultaneous
ly with that over price controls
It's a tea party so far, com
pared with the price control
struggle, but it's likely to be-
come hotter. Meanwhile, buying
on credit is rapidly increasing.
Officials of the Federal Re-
serve Board, which regulates
consumer credit, take the posi-
ton that credit controls will have
to be retained as long as goods
are short and prices are rising,
regardless of whether prices are
controlled.
Otherwise, as they see it, pur-
chasing power would so greatly
overbalance the supply of auto
mobiles, refrigerators, furniture
and the like that buying pressures
would send prices kiting with
strong inflationary results.
This view has been challenged
! by a number of credit financing
concerns, retailers and banks.
who are getting some congress
slonal support for their argu-
ment that credit controls them
selves are inflationary because
they hold back mass production.
The auto and icebox makers
can't gear up to high mass pro-
duction levels, say the anti-con-
troll forces, unless they can count
on liberal consumer credit to
facilitate buying by persons who
can't meet requirements for a
stiff down payment and big in
,stalhnents over short period.
Pressure for removaleof credit
controls, which are exercised UNI,
der an act adopted during World
War I, has been stepped up by
the results of a survey - made

itself on the distribution, of
personal savings. E}
The survey showed most saw
