AUTOMOBILE SHOW
BREAKS RECORD
Attendance Last Night Exceeded
5,000LCrowd Caused No
Congestion.

Washington's tribute to the 1927
automobile was most emphatically
paid at the Auditorium last night,
when more than 5000 persons filed
through the hall to view the exhibits
displayed under the auspices Of the
Washington Automotive Trade Asso-
citation.
According to Rudolph Jose, chair
man Of the show committee of the
association, last nights attendance
was the greatest in the history of
local automobile shows, even outstrip-
ping the new high marks set last year.
Both floors Of the Auditorium were
filled to capacity throughout the eve
ming, while attendance during the aft
ernoon also was exceptionally heavy.
Exhibits have been so arranged, how
ever, that, although the Auditorium
was called upon to bear an unusually
heavy volume of human traffic, there
was little or no congestion, and the
crowds passed through easily and COM
fortably
1t Is pointed out by Mr.. Jose that
total attendance at the show thus far
is considerably in advance of last
years large total, and the prospects
are that when the exhibition closes
on Saturday night the aggregate gain
will run well into the thousands.
Show visitors commented upon the
tasteful decorations with which both
floors have been festooned, as well
as upon the well placed orchestras.

Hearings in the Government
$50 900 900 tax-recovcry suit agalns'
former minority stockholders in the
Ford Motor Co. were resumed here
today with the presentation OF furtner
evidence reviewing the early days Oh
the Ford organization.
Norval A. Hawkins, former sales
m mayer Of the company, said that, al
though Henry Ford played small-town
circuits and rural communities when
he started out in 1904 with his selling
compaign, by 1912 there were 1000 ex'
pert and trained Ford dealers scat
tered over the United States.

"They constituted the most valuable
franchise in the country, ne saio'
land excelled in their organization the
selling staff of any motor MANUFACTURE
ing concern"
Mr. Hawkins was general sales and
commercial manager for the Ford COM
many from 1907 to 1919. He gave
graphic description Of the Ford sales
methods and its system OF locating
assembling plants at strategic points
throughout the country.
This testimony was offered by the
former minority stockholders to uem'
onstrate that the value placed on

Henry Ford in 1919 was conservativeiy
appraised by the Internal Revenue
Bureau at $9,4s9 a share. as of March

Another Point Stressed:
Also that the revised valuation or
So. GOO now put forward by the Gov
eminent does not accord with the con.
dition of prosperity already reflected
in the operations in 1918.
1t is upon the basis of the lower
valuation that the Internal Revenue
Bureau is attempting to collect an
additional $50 1000, 900 tax on alleged
extra profits made by the minority
