In a new move to bar Henry Ford
from getting Government business,
Gen. Hugh Johnson, head of the N. R.
A.. has filed protest with the Depart
ment of Agriculture intended to pre-
vent the award to the Northwest
Motors Co of a contract for trucks on
the grounds that this Ford agency has
quoted figure below the list price, and
therefore is in violation of the N. R. A.
retail code for automobile dealers.
This became known today concur
rently with issuance from the War
Department of a denial of charges by
R. P. Sabine head of Northwest
Motors, that specifications had been
changed to bar Ford dealers from
getting in on 700 c. c. C. trucks for
which the War Department will open
bids tomorrow.
The trucks for which the Agriculture
Department solicited bids created the
case in which Controller General
McCarl ruled two weeks ago that Ford
could receive a contract without max
ing a prior affirmative adherence to the
automobile code, but that any violation
of the code thereafter would subject
the contract to cancellation. This new

CARNIVAL SPIRIT RULES.
Throng Watching Lynching Includes
Many Women and Children.

SAN JOSE, Calf. November 81 (P)-
Not unlike a carnival crowd was the
throng of several thousand persons who
jammed ST. James Park here last night
to witness the lynching of Thomas H.
Thurmond and John M. Holmes, con-
fessed kidnapers- -slayers of Brooke Hart,
and for which no arrests have yet been
made.
Men, women and children Of all ages
and babes in arms were there.
Over the statue erected to William
Mckinley who visited San Jose in 1900,
they swarmed for points of vantage
until it was a black mass of humanity.
1t was only few yards from this statue
that Holmes, fighting to the last. was
pulled to an overhanging tree limb.
Crowd Gathers Quickly.
When word of the finding of the body
of Hart was first received, the crowd
began to gather about the courthouse
and jail. Extra guards were placed
on duty.
The temper of the crowd grew uglier
as the day wore on. A truck had been
parked across the alley leading to the
iail, and against the barrlcade the IN
creasing crowd pressed harder ana

sure the State manager had acted prop
erly in discharging him for his state
ments.
Mr.. Fahey also said reports from
State branches of the Home Owners
Loan Corporation indicates a general
improvement in the real estate market
throughout the country. He said banks
and loan agencies heretofore declining
to accept the corporations bonds have
changed their attitude and are show
ing a tendency to cooperate as fully
as possible. He also said there is a de-
cided increase in the number Of loan
applications being withdrawn, both by
individuals and institutions.
At present, Mr.. Fahey said, the cor
poration is making a number of changes
in the personnel of its staff of ap-
praisers and title examiners throughout
the country. On October 81 4,800 ap-
praisers and 1900 attorneys and title
examiners were on the roles of the
corporation.
These include a number Of replace
ments of men found to be unqualified
to handle the work of the State offices.
Mr.. Fahey also said the policy of re-
placing inefficient men would be con-
tinued in that in several cities titled
guaranty companies will be employed
on the usual fee basis instead of using
individual attorneys or appraisers.

PARLEY ON WHEAT

LONDON, November 27-A gloomy

refuses to accept the quota offered by

Abraham Gourevitch, the Russian
delegate, said:
we actually are keeping within the
quota offered us because prices are so

He was expected to meet with the

age, exports and marketing conditions
were studied thoroughly.
Improved conditions in Argentina were
regarded as factor making the problem
more difficult but the Argentine repre-
sentative said official figures still were
not available.
Russia was expected to be less OBJ
durate toward the effort to bring her
into the gentlemen'S agreement for the
international control of wheat exports
than she was two months ago. when
the agreement for the year 1933-34 was
drawn.
Discussed by Litvinoff.
There was no indication, however,
that Russia would be ready to give up
her demand that her quota of 37,000,-
600 bushels be doubled.
Wheat export quotas for other lead
ing wheat producers, as fixed last Sum
mer. were Canada, 00,000000 bushels;
Argentina, 110.000,000: Australia, 105,-
100000, and the United States, A.

It was learned the world wheat sit
uation was discussed, at least briefly. by
President Roosevelt and Maxim Lit
vinoff at Washington. 1t remained to
be seen whether American recognition
would affect the Soviet governments S
stand.
Delegates representing the big four
Wheat-growing nations were not Wor-
ried because the price still is materially
below the 63.08 gold cents a bushel
figure when importers promise to ease
tariffs. The current slump is described
as seasonal and aggravated by the SELL
ing of Danubian and other crops. They
asserted they never have counted on
having the barriers lifted for at least
a year.
