The policy of the automobile in

branches. just SO long as the going
is good. Abrupt changes OF msnu-

be costly. considering the great

sories that are produced.
Approximately 100000 passenger
cars and trucks will be manufac-

which is an increase Of more than
30 per cent over last year. This in
wolves a much greater proportion
ate increase for some concerns and
much smaller for the majority.
which means that the grand total
will not be a reliable guide.
The present year promises to be
richer in sales of closed cars than
ever before. This branch of the in
dustry was caught flatfooted. and
the demand has been, throughout
the entire season, far greater than
the supply. Agricultural conditions
are better than anticipated. with a
majority of the farmers yet to Sc

awaiting the outcome Of their har-
vest. Summed up. the general out
look is fine, courage 10 on the rise.
Inventories are fairly well balanced.
Inability to get sufficient steel of
a proper grade is still holding up
some OF the plants which refuse to
cheaper their product with inferior
material. The lack of skilled labor
has also been felt, with the result
that plants have been bidding
against each other in an effort to
hll their forces with high-class
labor. But by intelligent handling
OF limited supply of help the au-
tomobile builders find themselves in
an enviable position as regards
labor. The situation has been

Stolen Cars Found
ByU. S. Agents
Many Autos Recovered by
Department of Justice
Operatives.

Since the passage of the Dyer
anti-theft automobile law in October,
1919, 2.120 automobiles worth. at =
fair secondhand valuation, S2.567,-
2Os have been recovered by the
Bureau of Investigation, United
States Department of Justice, ac-
cording to figures compiled by that
bureau at the request of officials
Of the American Autombile Asso-
citation. The department, according
to these figures. has Investigated
1891 cases which involved 1885
persons. There were 2.773 persons
arrested. of which 1888 were in
dicted and lib convicted. These
convicted persons received sem
tences amounting in the aggregate
to 1856 years, 6 months. IL days
and paid fines to the amount OF
S41,140. The American Automobile
Association took an active part in
supporting the Dyer anti-theft bill
which was prepared by Representa-
tive. l.. c. Dyer. of Missouri, who
IL an active member of the Auto
mobile Club of Missouri and who
was assisted in obtaining facts
necessary for the preparation of
this measure by the Automobile
Club of Missouri and the A. A. A.
Any doubt as to the need for
such a measure is dissipated by the
presentation of the above figures,
which show a material reduction in
the percentage of motor cars stolen
since the law went into effect.
Credit for the enforcement OF this
law, which has rsulted in such
large percentage of arrests. is
largely due to William J. Burns.

tions. Department of Justice. Mr..
Burns has given especial attention
to automobile thefts. realizing the
extent of this industry. for it had
become an industry. and has placed
some of his best operatives on these
cases.
The outstanding feature of the
Dyer law is the fact that it places
interstate transportation of stolen
motor vehicles under Federal law
and makes such an action punish
able in Federal courts. Before the
passage of this act there had been

BIG YEARLY LOSS

NEW YORK, July 22.-Federal
regulation Of all automobile regis
tration is urged by oficials as one
of the principal means of checking
motor thefts. which have increased
until they have become a handicap
to the industry. a menace to society
and one of the biggest sources of
graft to the professional crook.
Failure to agree on some nation
wide uniform legislation is cited by
many who have given long study
to the subject as the only reason
why this modern form of piracy can
continue to the point where 1t is
estimated that 100000 automobiles.

Der stolen goes up each year, off,

ondly, their use in other enter
prises.
The proposition of checking such
misuse of automobiles and their
theft by State legislation has been
considered by our association, ami
it was decided that 1t could no. be
done because an automobile can get
across State line from anywhere
inside of any State in this Union
within a few hours. An automo-
bile is stolen tonight IN New York,
Washington, Baltimore or any other
city or town, and ii is sold tonIor-
row in Philadelphia, Boston, Hart
ford or any one of a thousand cities.
The schemes of registration in the
different States of the Union are
all different. They have separate
number plates and those numbers
are changed easily.
1--WE have studied this question
carefully and We have concluded
the only constructive solution is :,
Federal law branding every car with
a permanent number to be recorded
in offices of United States Court
clerks. An absolute check can then
be kept on every car in the coun-
try, and when one is stolen II can
be easily run down. Such a law
would be the greatest possible. de-
terrent to the stealing of automo-
biles."
Mr.. Todd said some States now
have excellent laws of discouraging
automobile thieves by requiring the
recording of oil sales and trans
fers of cars, but they are not effec-
tive because all States do not have
the same laws.
Experience has taught US you
cannot get a uniform State law"
he added. There are too many
conflicting interests and ideas. We
have had a commission on uniform
laws for 80 years and so far as
know they. have succeeded in get
ting only two uniform laws. one on
negotiable instruments and the
other on bills of lading."
Scores of bills aimed at automo-
bile thieves have been introduced
in the New York Legislature. but
about the only one that ever got on
the statute books is that which
makes it a crime to remove or de-
face any identification mark on an
automobile. There is practically no
way. however. of checking up
whether such a mark has been re-
moved.
Even though State now has an
effective law" said Mr.. Todd. there
is nothing to prevent a practical
automobile thief from stealing a
car there. running into the next
State. securing number plates for
It and selling 1t with little danger
of detection. In this State there is
nothing to prevent a thief from GO
ing to an automobile bureau, de-
scribing a car and securing automo-
bile plates for it. He can then
steal the kind of a car he described,
put the number on it that he gave
to the bureau and sell ii. Thieves
rarely steal a car with a distinc-
tive coloring or marks on it. but
when they do they can drive II to a
nearby machine shop in collusion
and have it completely changed in
appearance"
In spite of the inadequacy of the
present State laws State troopers
have had some success in running
down automobile thieves. Maj.
George F. Chandler. head of the
State police, said that during the
first four months of this year his
troopers received 1873 stolen cars in
addition to others which they got
with the aid of local police officers.

hold down the mounting insurance
rates. While all agree on the neces-
sity for united action and uniform
laws, conflicting interests prevent
an agreement. After all the dis
cussion. expert opinion has been
reduced to two well-defined pro-
posals. These are:
"A Federal law of Standardization
and regulation which will make
stealing motors more difficult
Uniform State laws, adopted by
the commonwealths. so that border
ing States have the same regula-
tions. This would be in effect much
the same as a Federal law"
Lower Theft Insurance Sought.
Federal and State officials gem
orally, including the State Associa-
tion of District Attorneys, favor
the Mills bill now before Congress
or a similar measure. Many auto
mobile associations favor State reg
ulation and fear a Federal law.
THE subject of thefts is being
watched vigorously by the National
Automobile Dealers Association"
states a bulletin of that organiza-
tion, because of the theft insur-
ance rates now having become so
high as to prove a big factor in
resistance to sales of automobiles.
1t is realized that until thefts are
checked materially little progress
can be made in the matter of in
surance reductions"
The New York State Association
of District Attorneys, which in
cludes all prosecuting officials, has
taken up. the matter of automobile
thefts as one of the most important
crime factors in the state. This
organization drafted and backed the
