General Motors and
Ford Divide World;
Pres, Sloan Hints

MILFORD, Mich, Sept. 28.- "There
will be no war between Henry Ford
and General Motors" This assurance
was given by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr,
president of the General Motors Cor
noration, in an address before the
Automobile Editors of American
Newspapers here this afternoon.
Ford had been quoted recently to
the same effect. However, rumbles of
a great motor war between these two
manufacturers have been reverberat-
ing throughout the business world for
months-ever since, in fact about a
year ago when General Motors Cor
poration lowered the price of their
Chevrolet car to the approximate
price of the Ford. Meanwhile, Ford
had announced he was building a new
model machine which is expected to
be on the market about the first of
the year.
Divide Field.
"Therc is plenty of opportunity in
the world today for Mr.. Ford to give
the public honest value, which of
course he will do, with the result
that he will sell an enormous number
of cars per year. And there is an
equal opportunity for General Motors
to give the public honest value at a
higher price and likewise sell very
large number of cars per year." said
Sloan.
Hearers interpreted this statement
as meaning that Ford and Morgan
have come to an agreement, and will
divide the world market between
them, Ford abandoning his tendency
towards an invasion of the high priced
car field, and General Motors raising
the price of its cheaper grade cars.

sCLOTURE

Enlightenment regarding cloture, its meaning
and its uses, have been presented to the country
within the last few days.
Advocates of cloture in the past have argued
that it's purpose is to prevent flibuster by small
minorties, and enable Congress to transact it's bust
within reasonable time.
Yet this Congress has seen discrimination in
the of cloture which casts serious doubts ON the
integrity of this argument.
Cloture was invoked for farm relief when public
demand for enactment of the legislation had become
very great. 1t invoked for the McFadden bank
ing bill when pressure from the banks brought
strongly to bear upon the Senate!
There no filibuster in progress against either
of these measures.
Yet, when the Boulder Dam bill and the dis
abled officers retirement bill came before the Sen
ate, cloture overwhelmingly rejected
The Boulder Dam bill was favored by a majority
of the Senate.
Four men conducted fbuster against it.
1t was a reclamation project involving protection
Of large number Of communities from flood. 1t
carried appropriation from the treasury, but was
to be a self-supporting project
Yet cloture denied this measure the one
case when cloture would have been justifabe if its
purpose is to enable transaction of the Senate S
business.

CENTRALIZED POWER

This paper was warned repeatedly during the
past year that the electric power industry becom
ing dangerously centralized.
The Federal trade commission report the
situation just submitted to the United States Sen
ate, substantiates emphatcaly every charge made.
This report shows that:
Three great independent power organizations,
the General Electric Company, the North American
Company and the insult interests, joined late in
1926 in purchase of the North American Light and
Power Company, itself the chief holding company
of another large power organization, the Mckinley
Studebaker group. The General Electric Company
disposed of it's purchase interest just twenty days
before the commission report was made public.
The Electric Bond and Share Company, super
yisng operating companies in every region is still
about 70 per cent controlled by General Electric
stockholders.
The Electric Bond and Share Company and afili-
ated officials important blocks of stock in two
power financing organizations, the American Super
Power Corporation and the Electric Investors, Inc.
The American SuperPower Corporation owns
stock in the North American Company, mentioned
above, and in other large operating units such as
the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey and
the Northern States Power Corporations Byllesby
interest.
The Electric Investors, Inc. owns stock in some
of the group in which the Super-Power Cor
poration has invested and additionally in the Middle
West Utilities Company chief of insult holding or
CARNATIONS.
The Alabama Power Company, chief of the thir-
teen associated companies seeking to lease the Mus
Gle Shoals Government power plant is connected
with the Electric Bond and Share Company.
The American Super-Power Corporation the
Electric Investors, Inc, and the General Electric
Company, all own stock in the Commonwealth Power
Corporation. another independent organization and
owner of the Tennessee Electric Power Company,
which alone of the thirteen Muscle Shoals bidders
is not connected with either of the Electric Bond
and Share Company, or the insult interests, and
which will get half interest in all eleven Tennessee
River dam sites above. Muscle Shoals if present
Government recommendations are approved.
In other words, the commission report proves
that the power industry has, to say the least gotten
itself into very strange tangle
And the Senate should adopt the resolution for
Senate resolution which Senator Walsh of Montana
has introduced.

She Is the mistress of the owner,
played by Lionel Barrymore, but has
an almost uncomfortable passion for
the handsome and egotistical young
announcer.
Gilbert does no great things in this
show and those who like him best
when in good looking clothes and do
ing bold deeds will be a bit dis
appointed at times.
His acting in THE Show" In our
opinion ranks only second to the
things he did in the big Parade"
Perhaps it is better. but the spirit
of the former story is missing.
Anyway Gilbert really plays part
and does not waste foot after foot Of
film in educating those who are
inefficient in the manly art of
'mugging."
OF Renee Adoree about all that can
be said is that she furnishes a very
complimentary background for Gil
bert. Barrymore is given no chance
to do anything and 50 is not much
of a success.
Charlie Davis and his Gang are in
Sweden this week and have a pleas
ing program worked out including a

Borga Was Put on Map
of Texas by Oil Eight
Months Ago,
BY NJ. e. Tracy

FIT. WORTH, Texas, Feb. Is
Last Saturday two State rangers and
twenty Federal dry agents swooped
down on the shanty district of Borga.
Well, you ask, where is Borga, and
why pick on it by calling attention
to one of a hundred dry raids which
probably occurred in more important
places throughout the country the
same day. That is the point of the
story. Borga has not existed long
enough to be properly catalogued in
time tables and postal guides which
make it vivid Illustration of what
is going on in the Texas Panhandle
because Of oil.
Eight months ago the population
of Borga consisted mainly of horned
toads and bull snakes. The railroad
was sixty miles away when some
body struck oil, and before it could
get there promoters, reformers.
drillers, realtors, gamblers and
boarding house keepers had dragged
in enough material to house and@en-
terrain a community bigger than
New York was when the revolution
broke out.

Texans Bet

1t is a wonderful thing to see fos-
sill fuel take shape in tall buildings,
miles of bungalows, fiivvers and art
museums. Scientists are saying that
it will play out in the course of time
and leave the landscape cold.
Texas people are betting that the
schools and colleges which oil en-
ables them to build will produce
enough brains to invent substitute
before the supply Of oil is exhausted.
You can be a Rabbit and holler
yourself hoarse, or philosopher and
worry yourself insane, or just sit
down and enjoy the show.
No matter where they may be
leading us, the Rabbits are certain

and literally, in a most interesting

Times Changes

Fifty years ago Texas was known
as the Cattle State, with only small
towns and two-gun sheriffs to make
life amusing.
Twenty-Five years ago she was
known as the Cotton State, with
only a few towns grown big enough
to have paved streets and high
schools.
Now she is known for Ma Fergu-
son; the Rio Grande valley; fruit
and such procession of oil and real
estate booms as no one can keep
track of.
Her present population is esti-
mated at $4,000 about 10 per cent
of which is colored.
Her Federal Land Eank has loaned
more money than any Of the other
eleven.

More Tips on
Bidding
By Milton Q. Work

by Milton &. Work ;,
THE POINTER FOR TODAY IS: +.
When the suit to be bid con-
stains more strength than one /,
quick trick. but less than two (
quick tricks, il should no. be-.
called without some side strength;
that side strength need not neces-
sarily be a quick trick. ,.
The advice to bid suit initIally
without what seems to be two uuicJc
tricks in the hand, involves what In
one way is an exception to a rule.
and in another way is merely an az.
firmation of it. A hand which does
not contain two actual quick tricks.
but has compromising strength az.
gregating more than their equivaI.
ent,' is obviously too strong to pass:
it being dangerous to pass, for fear
a game hand may be passed out.
To illustrate: a King with one or two
small may or may not take a trick;
the Ace may be adversely held and,
If so, II is an even chance that 1t
will be on the right of the King. In
the same way, Ace-Queen, with the
King adversely held, has an even
chance OF finding the adverse King
on the right and taking an extra
trick I'm addition to the Ace. In the
first case, with the Ace in partner
hand, and in the second, with thy
King there, the doubtful card must
win unless trumped. 1t is therefore
conservative to reckon two such par
tial chances as equal to a Whole one;
but it is not wise TO depend alto
gether on partial chances because,
when all so wrong, the result may
be dangerous. The hand should con-
tain at least one actual quick trick,
and 1t generally is essential that II
be in the suit to be bid. For ex-
ample, it would be sound to bid an
Ace.Queen-Ten flve-card suit with a
side King. or an Ace-Queen suit with
a side King-Jack; but reversing the
holding, a Kins-x.x-x suit or even a
King-Jack-x-x suit, either of which
contain quick trick, should not be
bid without two sure tricks on the

Loneliness Passes

This column is not designed to sell
real estate, or get people to move,
but to convey 4 sketchy idea of
what is going on, not only from the
standpoint of current news, but from
that of Industrial and social devel-
opment.
The most vivid impression / get
from travelling about this country
is one of common aims, common
methods and common aspirations.
The melting pot has apparently
done its work.
The average American will feel
it hard not to feel at home in any
part of the United States.
Some complain that this repre-
sents too much Standardization, but
do not think So. 1t seems to come
about as an inevitable aspect of
modern life and to have it's COM
pensations.
We used to get variety as mat
ter of location. Not only the next
State but the next town offered
something different.
Now, we get variety through
change all along the line, through
invention, new work and constant
parade of innovations.
We look to time, rather than
place for something new, and I am
not so sure that this is for the
worse.
Meanwhile, not only a new civili-
zation, but a new race, is taking
shape in this country, race with
a common outlook on life, if not a
common ancestry, and that can
adapt itself to New York City, the
plains of Texas or the Pacific slope,
without loneliness or Inconvenience.

THOSE DANGEROUS"
JAPANESE

Japan, as everybody knows, is very dangerous
nation.
1t has dark designs possessions in the
Pacific. 1t is just waiting for chance to go to war
with us. It's statesmen stay awake nights thinking
up ways and means to get possession of California
All of this of course, is on the word of our best
alarmsts
In view of the above, it's rather strange, isn't it,
that the first foreign power accept President Cool
idge's call for conference on naval armament re-
duction should be-that same Japan?
Furthermore, Japans acceptance was cordial
The Japanese profess complete eagerness to meet
this country half way in peaceful plans to reduce
navy ratings.
Perhaps Japan isn't as bloodthirsty and design
ing as some people would have us believe. Perhaps,
indeed, little effort would make it one of our
irmest friends.
