EXPANSION PROGRAM OF HENRY FORD WILL COVER MANY CITIES
By Associated Press

DETROIT. Mich.. Dec. 22.-Henry Ford's decision to construct a se.oo0.- GOO plant near Chicago for the build ing of automobile bodies and assem- bling of automobiles is only a step in gigantic program on the part Of the Ford Motor company that will rank as one of the greatest indus trial developments the world ever has seen" 1t was stated at the Ford com pany offices here today by persons in authority.
 "As Long as Mir. Ford lives" 1t was said. this expansion program is to go on. The fundamental idea back of the whole scheme is to create more jobs. As long as there is a possibil- ity of putting more men at work, the Ford policy will be to build more rlants."
 It was pointed out that other de- velopment projects have been under taken recently by the Ford company including the start of a great indus trial plant at New Orleans, con- templated unit at St. Louis and water power development at St. Paul. Land along the river at St. Louis now is being condemned with the idea of placing Ford plant or plants there. 1t was stated.
 MT. Ford has no idea of withdraw ing from Detroit, it was made clear, His interests in this city are to be the hub in a great wheel of industry that he eventually hopes will cover many cities in the country.
