Tax-Free Bond Issues
OF Local Governments
Attract Investors
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. ga heavy
flight of investment funds into
tax-free bonds of local govern
ments featured bond market op-
erations this week.
An improved, but somewhat
sluggish performance by corporate
bonds took a back seat in investor
interest to the big reduction in
dealers supplies of tax exempt
issues.
The desire of many investing
interests to gain protection from
the newly increased Federal in
come tax caused the sudden rise
to popularity of the debt issues of
States, counties and municipali-
ties. These bonds are exempt from
Federal taxation, whereas even
United States Treasury bonds are
taxable in whole or in part.
New Issues Drop.
The floating of recent issues of
tax exempt issues dropped to
$137 .023,0 900 today from $183. .552,-
600 at the close of last week, a
reduction of SAC, ,529 900, accord
ing to the publication Blue List. "
Three weeks ago it was over $780,
600, 900.
Since the various local govern
ments have scheduled only $59,-
488, 900 of financing next week
compared with the 1850 average
of over $88, ,O00, 900 weekly, it is
probable dealers unsold inven-
tories will continue to dwindle
rapidly in the coming session.
/ Medium and priced railroad
bonds attracted most of the de-
mand during the week and gen.
orally were buoyant. High-priced
rails, industrials and utilities
moved narrowly.
Reopening on Saturday for the
first time since last spring, the
market shuf1ed aimlessly through
the two hour period without ap.
preciably changing established
quotations. A few rails such a.
New York Central 4l2s and Bal.
timore & Ohio convertible AZ:
were in demand. St. Louis-Sar
Francisco 412s also did rather vel
in fairly brisk turnover.
Rails Show Gain.
Sales totaled $1,160,000 in tn,
brief session, compared with $970,'
600 on May 27, the last time tn,
market was open on Saturday.
The Associated Press average O.
20 rails gained a of point at ST.!
for the weeks work. Industrial!
were up / at 1918, while utilities
were unchanged at 1895. Foreign
dollar issues continued to gain
ground.

held to a steady course all week
although those eligible for com
mercial bank purchase continu
to ease a bit almost daily.

Farm Social Security
EXPLAINED

Beginning next January 1, farm
workers and their employers will taxi
an active part in the social security
program although farm operators vii
still be excluded under the law.
Only regular farm workers, OF
those who work for the same employ
er at least five months in a half year
will become eligible for social secur-
ity coverage.
A regular worker, is defined in
the law as zone employed continu-
ously for a calendar quarter and who
then works so days on the farm for
the same employer during the next
calendar quarter and earns at least
$50 in cash wages during that quar-
ter.
If this test is met, the farm worker
will have federal old-age and surviv-
ors' insurance protection for him
self and family. He should register
under the program by obtaining a
Social Security card from the nearest
Social Security office and have his
employer record his name and ac-
count number.
Employers of regular farm work
ers will make record of the en-
ploye's full names and account num-
bers and of the dates and amounts
of wages paid. Beginning January
1, they should hold out u per cent
of cash wages and prepare to report
this with the employers share of 1 Il
per cent "a total Of per cent? quar-
terly to the nearest collector of in
ternal revenue. The quarterly re-
port forms will be furnished by mail
from the collectors office and must
be filed by the end Of the month fol-
lowing the quarter in which wages
are earned. The employer should OBJ
tain an Identification number by fill
ing Form SS-4 with the Collector or
the Social Security field office. He
should also furnish workers with |
signed statement showing the amount
paid and period covered.

The recent unanimous decision OF
the Montana Supreme Court in the
case of Sullivan VS.. Silver Bow Coun-
ty Commissioners, which permits a

rights of citizens.
