HENRY FORD MAY COMPEL GOVT. TO
 ACCEPT HIS BID
Barred From Ten Million Dollar Contract Because
 of MIRA Code

Washington, Oct. 26-(UP)- Henay Ford today stood to lose valuable government contracts be- cause of his persistent policy of ignoring MIRA. War department officials preparing to place orders for $10, 100000 of army motoriza- ton equipment disclosed that none would go to Ford so long as he does not display the Blue Eagle. Ford officials in Dearborn. Mich., said their dealers had submitted low bids for much of the equip ment. The auto code Is jaeld by MIRA to apply to Ford even though he did not sign and officials say he is observing it's terms. Never theless, he must sign certificate of compliance before he can dis, play the eagl.
 Ford, always a foe of govern ment interference inbusiness, ig- nored MIRA from the first. Even though Ford may be meeting the requirements of the automobile code, MIRA officials welcomed the war departments decision as in keeping with the governments ex- hortations to the public to buy only from those who display tho Blue Eagle. Some quarters, how ever, suggested that Ford might have basis fof contesting the army's action if 1t rejects his bids solely because he has not signed the code. Usual government pro cedure requires contracts to be awarded to lowest bidders.
 An executive order issued by President Roosevelt on Aug. 10, provided. however, that every con tract entered into by the govern- ment "shal provide and require that the contractor shall comply with all provisions of the applic- able approved code of fair compe- tition for the trade or industry or thereof concerned The order. did not say that the con- tractor must previously have sign ed certificate of code compliance or must be displaying the Blue Eagle.

Il
 New York, Oct 26.-(UP) )--An orderly decline came into share and commodity markets today after three days of sharply advanc- ing prices.
 Trading was the. duIlest in many sessions, tickers standing idle at in- tervals. Prices showed continuing easiness.s interspersed occasionally by. steadiness, until near the close the losses ranged from fractions to more than 3 points. -
 There was little incentive in the market. The government gold price was only IS cents above yes- terday's price, thereby ruining hopes of the more optimistic infia- tionists. while foreign, exchange was mixed.
 < Earnings reports continued mixed, with utilities showing a loss while a late afternoon announce ment that Consolidated Gas had reduced it's dividend, from 85 to 75 cents was not encouraging.
 The imitation. stocks were hardest hit in today's session, J. I. Case slipped to GA 1-2. near the close for 8 5-S point loss. Correspo weaknss came into International Harvester, and other farm equip ment shares. Gold mining stocks, for the most part, showed fraction al declines. Homcstake Mining, however, spurted 21 1-2 points to 371 1-2.
 Market leaders were easier, some selling coming into United States Steel which dropped 2 points to around 39 1-4. Bethlehem ended the session around 22 1-4. s&

 GO Elsewhere

Bethel, Conn, Oct 26-CUP)- Because labor troubles have kept the Bethel Silk corporation plant idle for seven weeks Daniel Raub president, has decided to move the plant to some town in Pennsyl- vania, he admitted today.
 Raub would not say where he will locate the company, which em- ploys from 100 to 115 men and women making hat bands and lin- ings. Raub's troubles with his ein- rloyes started when he signed the MIRA code and they demanded more pay.
 Raub said today he was not in terested in efforts of the local MIRA compliance committee to reconcile the differences. He said his plans to move his plant were too far ad- vanced for him to make change.

AUTO DEATH TOLL
 IN UNITED STATES

Almost 13.000 persons were kill ed in auto mishaps in the United States this year up to June. If this rate continues to January 1, it is not unreasonable to believe that the number will be doubled. The pity of 1t is that many whose lives were snuffed out were children and pedestrians. The man at the wheel excuses himself by stating that the injured party got in the path of his car. and friends of the victims claim the driver did not use due care. all of which makes no diff ference to those who lost their lives. The trouble is due largely to the fact that everybody appears to be in a hurry. It Is certain that the average driver shoots over crossings and turns corners at reckless speed.

HALLOWEEN PLANS
 FOR HOPEVILLE'
800 Children to March = Sponsored By COm=
 munity Club

Prowling witches, hobgoblins, ha'nts and other evil spirits who infest the darkness of all Hallows Eve had best bewar the Hope vile section this Halloween lest they be driven back to their dismal lairs by some five hundred children of grammar school age who. clad in weird and grotesque raiment. will parade the principal thoroughfares, armed with every known device for noise making.
 Prizes will be awarded for the most original. the most humorous and tho most attractive costumes.
 The children will first assemble into neighborhood groups whch will converge at central meet ing point. This point, as well as the line of march and the various neighborhood assembly points will be announced later. Parents will be permitted to march with small chill dren end arc invited to masquerade although this will not be required.
 Charles Ahearn will be the grand marshal. assisted by William H, Muus. Ray French and Frank P. McCue. In addition, discipline will be maintained by two or more adults who will supervise the for nation of each neighborhood group and accompany the group along the line of march. These group leaders will be appointed sometime this week.
 Like their ethereal compatriots. human spooks had better mind their manners for. in addition to extra police protection, the vile will be Npoliced by volunteer depu- ties to protect tho property of those who attend the parade. And while these deputies will probably be properly discreet as to innocent pranks. malicious mischief or rowdyism will be summarily dealt with. Sling shots, bean blowers and other forms of missile shooters are strictly taboo and will be confiscat- ed on sight.
 The parade Is being sponsored by the Hopeville Community club and. oddly enough, the committee in charge consists of thirteen mem- bers. They are: R. F. French, chairman: Chas. Ahearn, Theodore Goumy. F.. A. Sesselman, w. H. Muus. William Semple, William O. Keefe, Walter Wilmot, Fred Baker, Harry Ganun. David Whitney, Llyal Hill and Earl McCullom.
