MARKET DROP MINIMIZED AS BUSINESS BAROMETER ECONOMISTS WON'T SAY UFTIKN COMINU SOON PRESIDENT'S EMPHASIS ON ECONOMY IIEI.I'Kl'L EVEN CHANCE FOR SPRING PHOSPKIUTV CAMPAIGN' WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. The mys terious stock market debacle last week now seems to Justify the caution sig nal raised privately by government economists and displayed In this col umn's mid-month survey of the busi ness scene. However, there Is no disposition among the expert here to consider the market drop as a real barometer of business conditions. Those who advise the administration's money men declare, and federal reserve state ments confirm, that general condi tions withstood with remarkable for titude the loss of values registered by the stock exchange. However, they are tight-lipped when It comes to predicting an Immediate upward trend In business. But these experts point out one factor which they hope will contrib ute toward general confidence. It Is the obvious effort of the president to paint the word "economy" In btg letters across the Washington fiscal horizon. He Is talking It on his western trip, and, evidently by prearrange-. ment, Secretary Morgenthau Is am pllfylng the policy from the treas ury doorstep. While there Is a high premium on long-range predictions of any kind, this ts the way cautious observers in Washington privately Interpret what they see. A period while business "digs In" for the winter; consolidates what gains It has In the hope of a spring drive for a further recovery on a wider front. .Chances for success for this drive, about even. Obstacles: More wars or rumors of war. Inability of the ad ministration to dispel fear of fur ther government " Interference," and congress. Government economists are frank tn refusing to minimise the import ance of what happened on Wall street, but point to the other side of the picture as they see It. Car loadings, perhaps a better Index of prosperity than the ticker-tape, last week reach ed their highest level since 1930. Re tail and wholesale trade has been ex panding since Labor Day. Increased farm Income Is measured by bounti ful harvests of wheat, cotton and eorn at remunerative prices. At this point, the psychological economist offers a word. He says that It Is time to remind the public of the president's remarks In 1033. when he said that what this (Contluned on Pago Seven.) BIG FRUIT SHIPMENT LOADED FOR EUROPE PORTLAND. 8ept. 30.

( AP) A back- stage battle threatened to split the American Federation of Labor's build ing trades department today when the carpenters faction slated Joseph A. Mclnerney of New York for the presidency. The minority faction Immediately let It be known its member unions were seriously considering recession Such a split would divide the tede rat Ion's building tradrs unions Into warring camps and probably would mean a huge increase In the number of jurisdictional strikes.

C, for Instance, once was held up for a month while two unions battled over which should put the covers on radiators.) The carpenters' faction has seven unions, compared to the opposition's 12, but the carpenters' membership Is by far the larger.

The Japanese reply told Ambassa dor Grew that "as your government knows full well "Nanking Is the base of China's mllttary operations" and reiterated the declaration of Japan's purpose to bomb the military estab lishments both "In and out of the city."
