WASHINGTON, March 28.—Chain
stores and the Legislatures of many
states will keep a weather-eye on
the Supreme Court when it meets
April 13 in expectation of a decision
in the Indian chain store tax case.
If the statute is upheld some of
the harmony in the jangle of chain
store cash registers may vanish.
The Indian law frankly is an at-
tempt to regulate and check the
growth of the chains. Familiar ar-
guments for anti against them were
heard in briefs and speeches attor-
neys presented at the court.

Beyer said the gas volume of his
company's four old wells had been
