NEW YORK, Oct. 10 d.N.s0.
Firmness in the U. S. Govern

today. Treasury 4As opened at
1922, off 5-32.
Other United States Govern
ment issues were sympathetically
firm, with Treasury SPAS of 40
up 2-32 at 101, and Treasury 3Bs
up 2-32 at 97.31, while unchanged
levels predominated in the re-
mainder Of the group.
Rail obligations continued ir-
regular, with Baltimore and Ohio
41as of '33 up 1a point at 5S1a;
st. Paul adjustment SIS up y at
8; Rock Island refunding As, up
u at 3312, and Missouri Pacific

Offsetting these gains, Balti-

The Washington times., 1932-10-10

The Standard Oil Co. of New
Jersey is reported dickering for
the South American oil producing
properties of the Mellon-controlled
Gulf Oil Corp.
The move has been prompted
by the fact that Gulf has been
placed at a disadvantage in South
America as a result of the import
duty on crude and refined pc
trOleum products.
Gulf has important producing
properties in South America, but
no refining facilities. 1t, therefore,
must sell them in the form of
crude at the field or bring them
to this country for processing.

observer would make to that re- mark would be to omit the word distant. The storm is not so very far away.
 For one thing, the strikers have taken advantage of the truce to perfect their organiza- tion. In each township there is a leader, with a list of all the men in his neighborhood who will act as pickets. He also has a com plete schedule of the roads that are to be picketed and a schedule of the way in which pickets will be called. If the strike Is re- stunned, the blockade can be put into operation on a moments mo- tice, and it can be operated. far more efficiently and effectively than before.
 Sheriffs Ready for Action
 But the farmers are not going to have things their own way, if the strike is. resumed, as they did at the beginning.
 Sheriff P. A. Lainson of Council Bluffs. makes it plain that he is going to keep the roads clear no matter who tries to close them. So does Sheriff Charles Mcdonald of Omaha. Lainson is lean, en- ergetic man who served as an of- ficer with the A.. E. F. He means business, and he looks it. When he says, "I'll keep those roads clear" you can take 1t for granted that he will do exactly that.
 It is the same with Mcdonald. He has a force of 10S special dep uty sheriffs, and he has a fleet of four radio cruisers to patrol the roads. Both he and Lainson have shown that they are perfect ly ready to use tear gas. clubs and whatever else is needed to keep the highways open.
 Lainson, for instance, arrested 60 strikers without hesitation, and posted machine guns around his jail when a mob of strike sym pathizers swarmed into town to demand their release. His men had several brushes with the strikers, and so did McDonald's, and they are ready to start in again.
 But all of this has had an In- fortunate effect on the farmers. It has made them deeply resent full, profoundly bitter. It has helped to strain an already tense situation. If the strike is re- stunned, and there is another clash between deputies and pickets- well, it won't be any place for an innocent bystander.
 This deep feeling of bitter re- sentiment. indeed, is the impor- tant thing to keep in mind when thinking of the strike. It is what makes the strike spontaneous movement. There are leaders, but they count for little in many ways. A wild and determined spirit has swept through the corn belt, and it could easily get en- tirely out of control.
 These farmers say," says At

examine and register those quali- fled to practice as certified build ing appraisers. The bill provides for an examination of applicants into the subjects of building con- struction and engineering, theory of appraisal values, industrial eco- monies. quantity surveying. cost accounting and pricing and such other subjects which in the judg- ment of the board should be i'm cluded. Those qualifying would be officially authorized to style themselves certified building ap- praisers and to use the abbreviated title of c. B. A. after their names.
 The bill would limit applicants to those who have attained the age of 35 years and who have had at least three years practical experi- ence as building appraiser. Any person representing himself to be certified building appraiser with out having secured a certificate would be deemed guilty of a mis- demeanor and subject to penalty. The bil lalso provides a penalty for the willful falsification of any re- port or statement bearing on any examination or investigation made by a certified building appraiser.
 In addition to the question of certified building appraisals, the governing board of the Associated General Contractors also will con- sider numerous other problems of the construction industry and will closely check on the progress be- ing made on the national construc- tion program to relieve unemploy- ment

Contractors Ask
 Appraisal Change
Associate General Organization to Seek Certified
 Building Appraisers at October Meeting

Washington, D. C., Sept 2o.- Characterizing the inadequacies of the present building appraisal sys- tenn as the basic cause of mort- gage bond defaults totaling mill lions of dollars, and of the conse- construction securities, the Asso- ciated General Contractors of America, at the meeting of it's gov- erning board, October 10 and II, at Washington, D. C., will consider the desirability of sponsoring a model uniform state law for the establishment of a system of cer- tified building appraisers.
 Since 1924 the contractors asso- ciation has seriously concerned It. self with the problem of securing more trustworthy appraisals and is convinced that revival of a healthy private construction mar ket Is now largely dependent upon the development of standard meas ures of valuation in which the pub lie can have confidence.
 A preliminary draft of the pro- posed model law has been pre- pared for consideration by the board at its October meeting and officials of the association believe that general adoption of a regula- tory measure along its lines prob ably would be the most effective way of assuring reliable appraisals.
 The drafted bill would set up a board of five members appointed by the governor of the state, whose duty would be to regulate the prac- tice of building appraisal and to

 This recent picture of one sec- tion of Omaha's stockyards shows pens crowded with cattle and indicates that the effect of the farm strike has been felt there very little. Below: A new picture of Milo. Reno, "sparkplug". of. the farmers revolt.
 torney Tacy, "that 5000 men will come into court when the first one of those pickets goes on trial. They've really got out of hand here. That's why we worked so hard to get the pickets, out on bond the day they were arrested. There were 2,000 farmers in town, and they were ready for anything" .
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-09-21

Tacy insists that 1t Is hard to overemphasize the grimness of the farmers spirit.
 "They are in the desperate sit- nation that any man Is in when he doesn't know where his next meal is coming from" he says. Any person who lacks the mini mum essentials of existence will do things that otherwise he'd shun as unlawful. That's the way the farmers feel to-day.
 "Thcy Are Aroused Now!"
 "The farmers, remember, are on the whole the most patient class of people in the nation. But once they are aroused, nothing is going to stop them. They are aroused now. This strike, of course, is as hard on them as it is on anyone else. They simply feel that they've tried everything else, and that this is sort of he- roic remedy to wake the nation up."
 Talking with men on both sides, you get the Impression that the climax of the movement is still to come, and that when it does come it is going to be ex- ceedingly unpleasant.
 The actual effects of the strike on farm prices so far seem to have been rather inconclusive. In the week ending Sept 3 for instance, the Omaha stockyards received 33,123 cattle and 30,5S9 hogs more cattle than during any pre- vious week in 1892 but fewer hogs than in any previous week in 1892. Cattle prices. oddly enough, reached a new high for the year, while hog prices are still substan- tially below the high prices of last June.
 But actual figures mean very It, tie about the strike, after all. In it's Fundamentals, the strike move- ment is not so much aa effort to get higher prices as a desperate ef- fort to dramatize a situation. It was an angry cry of Do some- thing!" arising from a million threats; and it is going to be heard again, louder and more violently.
