NRA Brings Big Increase
in Pag for Steel Chiefs
Profit Handsomely Under
Provision of New In
dustry Code.
By Scrippa-Hntcard Xticspaper Alliance
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Wage
States Steel Corporation and other
leaders of the industry after the
NRA code became effective Aug. 10,
extended not only to mill laborers
but to high-salaried executives as
well, it was learned today.
Although a 15 per cent increase
was given day laborers to restore or
increase their purchasing power,
the executives, wftose purchasing
power remained at a maximum de
spite their salary cuts, profited
handsomely as a result of the steel
code.
This bill for increased wages has
added more than $2,000,000 to the
average monthly pay roll of the cor-
poration, despits constantly decreas
ing production from a peak of 63
per cent recorded this week.
What percentage of the increased
wage bill is represented in the
raises given executives can not bs
estimated, but it has been definitely
stated that their wages were boost
ed from 12 Ms to 20 per cent, thus
restoring, on an average, better than
half of the cuts effected on this
class during the depression.
In effect, the new steel code in
creased the wages of the average
mill worker 50 to 60 cents a day,
while the heads of the industry,
already drawing salaries reputed to
range higher than SIOO,OOO a year,
have had amounts ranging possibly
as high as $20,000 added to their
pay checks.
A similar practice has been fol
lowed by certain other companies
in the industry, it is said, and for
the group as a whole the operation
of the code represents an increase
of approximately $5,000,000 in
monthly pay rolls.
INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE
SHOWS GAIN IN CITY
49 Pey Cent Increase in Ten Weeks
Viewed Prosperity Barometer.
Revealing that in the last ten
weeks, purchase of industrial insur
ance from one company by the
working people of Indianapolis has
increased 49.3 per cent over the
same ten-week period a year ago,
E. W. Craig, insurance man, Monday
predicted "better times” ahead.
“The evidence indicates the blue
eagle has taken perch in Indian
apolis and is showing people the way
to a job,” said Craig. “Indianapolis
also has enjoyed a reduction in
premium lapses indicating increased
ability of people to hold their life
insurance.
Craig declared that the rise and
fall of industrial insurance is one of
the most accurate barometers of em
ployment.
GAS RATE DROP HALTED
Court Restrains State Board From
Enforcing South Bend Order.
Indiana's public service commis
sion has been restrained from en
forcing gas rate reductions by the
Northern Indiana Public Service
Ccmpahy at South Bend.
The restraining order was issued
by a three-judge federal court.
Judges participating were Evan A.
Evans of the United States circuit
court of appeals, Chicago; Walter
C. Lindley of the eastern division
for Illinois, and Robert C. Baltzell
of the southern Indiana district.
The national president of the Au
dubon societies says that songbirds
probably are more numerous in
America now than w’hen the Pil
grims landed.

Contract Bridge
BY W. E. M’KENNEY,
Secretary American Bridge league
YOU undoubtedly know many
players who are afflicted with
“No-Trump-Itis.” They try to play
every hand at no trump.
Generally, you will And that they
are very good card players and, due
to the boldness of their bidding,
they very often steal a game from
you. Such was the hand that came
up at a recent tournament in Read
ing, Pa.
South was the dealer and passed,
as did West. North and South were
playing the constructive one oyer
one system, and North opened with
a b ; d of one diamond. East, who
was one of those affected in the
manner described above, went to
three no-trump, which South
doubled.
South opened the five of dia
monds, North played the nine, and
East refused to win the trick.
North came back with the king of
diamonds and East was forced to
win with the ace, but this exhausted
South’s diamonds.
The only chance the declarer had
to make his contract was to find
both the ace and king of clubs in
the South hand and for South to
make a mistake. East played the
queen of clubs, which South won
with the king.
st tt n
WHAT would you now lead if
you were in the South posi
tion? There is no double but that
the declarer has the heart suit
solid and that he holds the ace of
spades. You know that one more
lead of clubs is going to establish
that suit.
NAZIS PLEDGED
TO RECOGNIZE
JEWISHRIGHTS
Citizenship Privileges Are
Acknowledged in Pact"
With Holy See.
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN
United Press Staff Correspondent
VATICAN CITY, Sept. 12.—Nazi
Germany is pledged to admit Cath
olic Jews to full rights of citizen
ship under terms of a memorandum
from the Holy See, accompanying
the recent concordat with Berlin, it
was revealed Monday.
The memorandum especially was
insistent that equal treatment be
accorded baptized Jews, despite the
anti-Jewish campaign of Chancellor
Adolf Hitler's administration in
Germany. It objected vehemently
against their discrimination on the
grounds of race.
The Holy See further insisted bap
tized Jews were Christians, and
that “any offense against baptized
Jews is an offense against the holy
sacraments.”
The memorandum added that non-
Christian Jews must be treated hu
manly, in accordance “with Chris
tian charity.” *
The Vatican at first insisted that
the memorandum be inserted as a
codicil to the concordant, but the
German government replied it was
not acceptable and was an offense
to the sovereign honor of the state.
Delay in ratifying the concordat
followed, until Berlin formally
undertook to respect the concor
dat word for word and the terms of
the memorandum.
The concordat was ratified form
ally Monday, the Holy See an
nounced, Cardinal Pacelli, papal
secretary of state, and the German
charge d’affaires exchanging ratifi
cations.

Most players would make the
mistake of leading a small spade.
If this is done, however. South will
make his contract because he will
play a small spade from dummy
and now, if North plays the queen,
he can win with the ace and still
has the spade suit stopped with
the jack in dummy.
South realized that his only
chance to defeat the contract was
to find his partner with the queen
of spades, so he slopped down the
king of spades. The declarer re
fused to win the first trick, but
when the ten of spades was con
tinued East was forced to win the
next trick with the ace of spades.
Now all that East can do is to
run his four heart tricks, as North
is bound to make three diamonds
and the queen of spades, setting the
contract three tricks.

Distribution of state funds to

He based his prediction on letters

Troubled with Dandruff sor v
Several Years. Cuticura Healed.
“I had been troubled with dandruff for several years. My scalp itched
and burned and I used to scratch until it bled. My hair was dry and lifeless
and it fell out until I was getting a bald spot. The scales used to be on all
my clothes.
“A friend advised Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I massaged my scalp
with Cuticura Ointment at night and the next morning shampooed with
Cuticura Soap. I did this twice a week and after three months my hair
came in thick and in six months I was completely healed.” (Signed)

member that whatever their ta
rates are in 1934. they will be many
cents lower than would have been
necessary if it were not for the new
state revenue laws,” he pointed out.
“The gross income, the intangibles
and the excise tax laws are a step
toward a broader basis of taxation.
They will take millions 'of dollars
from the shoulders of the property
taxpayers, more tha $17,500,000 nos
it within a very short time. But
the whole burden has not been
shifted. Property taxes remain the
principal source of governmental
revenues in Indiana and our present
duty is to keep these levies as low
as is consistent with good govern
ment.”
