By the Associated Press. ALBANY, N. Y., April 13—New York State began setting up machinery today to tap its huge $3,000,000,000 retail sales merket for $30,000,000 under a new 1 per cent retail x law.

The State will get the money from the retailers by collecting 1 per cent of | the gross receipts of every store or sales- yoom taking in $5,000 or more a year. The tax applies to everything from chewing gum to automobiles, with the | exception of food and gasoline, the lat- ter already taxed 3 cents a galion by the State and 1 cent by the Federal Government.

Beer and wine are included in the st of articles to be taxed on retail sale, | even though they are already taxed un- der the new State alcoholic beverage control law. This means a triple State tax on beer and 3.2 wine, because the State already is collecting from brew- ers and winemakers and will begin to fpollect license fees from retailers soon. Newspapers also are in the list of tax- able articles, provided the persons or firms selling them have annual receipts of $5,000. This includes newspaper pub- lishing concerns, if they sell direct to| the readers.

Louis Johnson, national commander of the American Legion, after present- Ing to President Roosevelt an analysis of the effect of economy cuts in veter- ans’ allowances upon so-called service- connected cases. said yesterday he be- lieves the President wiil administer this act of economy with justice, fairness and compassion. The American Legion head presented this analysis after a careful survey had been made by the American Legion posts with the hope that the regula- tions under the economy act when promulgated will be remedied in cer- tain cases so as to be more sympathetic and to not work unnecessary hardships. Comdr. Johnson made it plain, how- ever, that he and the legion posts throughout the country have faith in the President and are standing by him. EXEMPTION 7(')F PUBLIC BONDS CAUSES DISPUTE Benate Banking Committee De- bates Regulation of Se- curity Sales. By the Assoclated Press. A dispute arose in the Senate Bank- ing Committee today over whether Gov- ernment, State and municipal bonds should be exempted from the provision of the securities regulation bill requir- | ing full publicity by the Trade Com- mission of stock and bond issue pro- spectuses No decision was reached. As orig- fnalyl drawn, such securities would be exempted The committee further revised the administration measure today. The most important change would permit appeals from commission revocation orders to be taken to any Federal Cour of Appeals in the country, instead of only to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, as originally provided. G. B. Shaw Says Hollyweed is a Rough Place.

This remark is all the more sur- inc> Mr. Shaw had only re- rom an claborat- ficsta n in Hollywood in Clark Gable, ot which he sitting within of Clzrk Gable ho. cther than n, was singled out as the cinema’s foremost example of manli- ness—and one who should reveal to England's bard how completely nor- mal and brawny are our foremcst picture celebrities. Therefore, Mr. Shaw came away from Holiywood feeling that this is the place most eloquently given over to_fisticuffs. Whether he got this from Mr. Gable or from some one else, cer- tainly this news is cause for re- Joicing to those who are wide of this city's shoreline Because those who know, those who observe the cinema metropolis at close quarters, those who study it by day and mull over it by night, have begun to think that Hollywcod is going soft. * ok ok x ‘This alarming condition is brought about by the fact that Willlam S.

It is curious, then. to reflect on where Mr. Shaw got his theories about Hollywood's knock-'em down policies. These must have come either from Mr. Gable (Hollywood's hero “in the raw”): Mr. Chaplin, who has 2lways scemed a gentle enough fellow, or Marion Davies, who piloted Mr. Shaw around the studios.

This seems like the logical ccn- clusion. Miss West and Mr. Shaw should have met. They are far and away the most important theatrical persons at the moment (begging Mr. Coward’s pardon). Miss West is bright and she writes and she “socks people in the jaw” and Mr. Shaw is bright and writes and does mentally and verbally the same. * o ox * In the light of this theatrical turmoil in Hollywood it might be well to add that Washington is not free from strife.
