Germany left the League because Sir

st. Louis Post t-Dispatch.-Logic and
justice are on Hitler's side. The numer-
Gus so-called disarmament conferences

Of other nations, notably France, in

AAA Warns Autoists
 Of Heavier Taxes
"Joker" in New Valuation Figures for Used Cars May
 Result fin Such on Old s'Buggies"

washington, D. C., Oct 27--Mo- tor vehicle owners were warned by the American Automobile associa- tion today that as a result of a 1it-
 tie joker" In the used car. vaIu- ation set-up under the MIRA dealer
 code, the tax assessor may hike the
 taxes even on vehicles of ancient vintage.
 "The books will quote a higher figure as the trade-in value of your old model, Mir Motorist," said the
 A. A. A., "but 1t is not worth more except to tax assessors who may
 apply the new figures literally and without reference to the fact that these figures are permissible maxi nuns, whereas the old figures were merely a minimum base for trad ing purposes"
 The A. A. A. pointed out that while the regional valuation books of the dealers have not as yet been Issued, other books based on the | MIRA code are arleady in circula-
 ton, which have heretofore. been
 used by tax assessors.
 The A. A. A. statement follows:
 NO less than sixteen states use
 book values and appraisals in de- termining personal property taxes on the automobile, while in some states values are used as the basis for levying registration fees. In view of this practice, 1t is highly important that tax assessors take inot consideration the difference be- tween the old and the new methods of valuation.
 Under the MIRA dealer code, maximum allowances for trade-ins, are computed on the basis of aver

 The government offered ss154: an ounce yesterday for All newly mined American gold and may set a new price at e:s0 a. m. to-day.
 Sellers were required to swear their metal had just been taken from natural deposits within the United States. Scrap gold, such as melted up jewelry. commanded only $20.61 an ounce, the price fixed by law many years ago. al- though there is no difference in the metal purchased.

 Federal reserve banks, the mints and assay offices will act as agents for the REC in the new gold pur- chases. Payment will be made not in curenery but in new REC notes maturing February 1.
 By discounting these notes at the banks. the miner will be able to obtain currency immediately. The banks will carry them until matur- ity when the REC would retire them with cash.

EXCEPTIONAL CASES

l. Where a Code Has Been Submitted. (See
paragraph IL, Presidents Unemployment Agree
ment). If Your whole Trade or Industry is unable
to live up to the Presidents Agreement, you
should get together at once, with other employers
in your Trade or Industry and, in group, sub
init Code of Fair Competition to n r. A. in
Washington.
Since it takes some time after Code has
been submitted for it to be finally approved, your
group may petition N. r. A. to substitute the
wages and hours provisions of your Code for the
wages and hours provisions Of the Presidents
Unemployment Agreement.
II N. r. A. finds that the Code provisions arc
within the spirit of the Presidents Reemp}oy-
ment Agreement, it will consent to such subStitu-
tons. If N. R. A. does consent there will be an
official notice in all the papers. You may then put
the substituted provisions into effect in place of
the indicated paragraphs Of the Presidents Re
employment Agreement. In this case you should
add to your Certificate of Compliance the fol-
lowing clause: ITO the extent of N. R. A. con-
sent as announced, we have complied with the
President's Agreement by complying with the
substituted provisions of the Code submitted by
the -- Trade Industry"
If the substitution is consented to after YOU
have already put the Presidents Unemployment
Agreement into full effect, and after you have
already gotten your Blue Eagle, you may still
put the substituted provisions into effect without
signing another Certificate of Compliance.
2. Where Code Has Been Approved. If
Code OF Fair Competition for your Trade or
Industry has already been finally approved by
the President, you need not sign the Presidents
Unemployment Agreement in order to get the
Blue Eagle. The same is true if you are subject
to Code which has been put into effect tempo
rarily by agreement between the President and
representatives Of your Trade or Industry; but in
either of these cases, you must sign Certificate
OF Compliance, adding to it the following state
ment: 1--WE have complied with the operative pro
visions OF the Code for the - Trade Industry"
;. Cases of Individual Hardship. (Pararrapb
