CHEVROLET LARcESTB BUILDER
aEAR-sHIFT TRUCKS IN WORLE

Attaining a production of 112,49,
commercial vehicles during 1926, ar
Increase Of more than 1872 per cent
over the preceding year, the Chevi
olet Motor company is now the
worlds largest manufacturer Of geas
shift trucks, according to figures just
announced by company officials.
The increase is a gain Of $4,000
over the 1926 production Of 1920
rucks
This enormous increaese is attriO-
tied in no small degree to the numer-
ous refinements and lowered prices Of
he new trucks. Dealers everywhere
eported an enthusiastic reception by
the public Of these new models
The 1926 production in its turn
had more than doubled the 1925 out
put Of 23-134 trucks.
According to present manufacturing
schedules an even greater monthly
production is contemplated for the
truck division during the coming
months to insure dealers a sufficient
supply to meet the growing demand
Production during January, 1927,
.otalling 1927 trucks, also broke all
truck production records for single
month in the history of the company
The previous high mark was in Sep
tember, 1926, when 12,S45 trucks we're
manufactured

America Not Likely
To Yield Further on
Her Arms Cut Plan

The American delegates at the
Geneva arms conference will not
deviate very far from the program
OF limitation formulated in Wash
ington and presented to the con.
ference by Hugh 8. Gibson yester-
day, it was stated today in authori-
tative circles.
While it is far too early to talk
OF "ultimatums" or last words, -
the fact remains, it was said today,
that the program presented by Glib
son goes about as far as it is pos
sible to go without putting the
United States Navy in a position
of decided inferiority to Great
Britain and Japan. Some give and
take will be necessary, it is anti
cipated here, but the basic fea-
lures Of the American program are
not likely to be altered.
The British counter-proposals are
wholly unacceptable to the United
States. The more closely they were
examined today by Naval experts
here the more unsatisfactory they
became. Japan's proposals, being
somewhat vague, are not understood
in Washington. Japan apparently
is insisting upon a ratio Of auxiliary
ships greater than that allotted to
her in capital ships under the 1921
agreement. This, Of course, is un-
satisfactory to the United States.
1t was upon the British pro-
posals however, that naval ex.
perts here centered their attention.
The evidence of Anglo-American
understanding and agreement that
were so marked in Washington
five years ago apparently are alb.
sent at Geneva, for the British
program conflicts with the Amer.
lean proposals at nearly every
vital point.
The American proposition simply
suggests the application of the
SOB ratio to all auxiliary naval
craft. 1t is the essence OF sim.
plicity-and, from the American
standpoint, eminently fair to all
concerned. +
Against this, however, the Brit.
ish have advanced a series of clev.
erly devised proposals which not
only aim at reopening the Wash
ington treaty, but would make well
nigh incalculable changes in pres.
e1t-day naval construction.
/ The heart Of the British program
lies in the proposal that cruisers
be limited to $500 tons and that
guns be reduced from S.inch to
6-inch. All of the newer American
cruisers, built and building, are
10000 tons and bear S-inch guns.
Cruisers of limited operating
radius while entirely suitable TO
Great Britain. with her naval bases
circling the world, would be trag.
edy for America, whose naval
bases are few and far between.
Also. Britain has a huge mercan.
tile fleet, with dozens of ships

experts consider advisable makes it

ships, due to become obsolete
shortly, already would be considered
ready for scrapping if the Japa-
nese viewpoint were translated into
2 clause of the proposed new treaty.
On the other hand, Japan's recent
building program OF auxiliary ships
would give her an advantage on
what the present comparative fig
lres show.
Guessing at what Japan means,
american experts computed that, If
The japanese proposal were adopted
It would give the japanese a ratio
IN auxiliary ships and submarines
OF approximately 81 to the United
States five, while the British ratio
would be still even higher than that

Balchen is 20 years old, unmarried,
and Norwegian, who has just taken
out his American naturalization
papers.
Besides Byrd and Balchen the
transatlantic flight will be made
by Bert Acosta, pilot, and Lieut..
George o. Neville, the radio expert.
All Experienced Fliers
All four are experienced flyers.
Acosta was with Clarence Chamber.
lin when he established a worlds
endurance flight record several
months ago.
Balchen was standing beside the
silver bodied America in its Hangar
here when Byrd made the announce.
ment that he was going on the trip.
Balchen beamed. Byrd said that
Balchen was IAN unusual fellow"
and would prove a great help on
the flight over the ocean.
"Balchen deserves to go in view
OF what he did for me during the
flight over the North pole" said
Byrd. "He is an all-around man.
He knows the plane thoroughly. is
a good navigator, q pilot and under
stands RADIO"
Byrd indicated he was eager to
get away, il he does not get off
about 5 o'clock tomorrow morning
he probably will wait until sunset.
A sunset take-off would land him
in Europe in daytime. However, 1t
has become no longer matter OF
personal preference and Byrd is
going to take off as soon as the
storms west of the coast Of Ire
land clear away.
Takes Southern Route
He is going to fly a route a little
further south than the great circle
course taken by Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon q
sack OF mail viii be put aboard the
America.
There will be about zoo letters in
the weatherproof sack.
Grover A. Whalen, vice president
OF the Trans-Oceanic Company,
hackers of the flight, said that the
America had been officially desig-
mated as an air mail carrier by
Postmaster General Harry S. New.
He said Byrd would be sworn in
this afternoon at the field here as
an air mail pilot.
1t will be the first officially sane.
toned mail carried to Europe.
Byrd returned this morning from
his home in Boston, where he said
goodbye to his family. Acosta,
Balchen and Neville also have said
goodbyes to their folks, although
relatives are expected to be present
at the take-off.
The big silver. bodied. gold.winged
America was at it's hangar, care.

All forenoon, many persons visited
the field to get a glimpse of the
ship and the police drew ropes
around the hangar to prevent
people from getting near the air
ship and taking parts Of 1t az

The two-year program win cost

The new rate will become ef.

committee was highly pleased with
the offer, and will probably recon-
mend these improvements instead of
a high-pressure system.

ment in case of war. A merchant
ship will not readily take an eight
inch gun.
The American delegates will rot
subscribe to any such program, and
they are equipped at Geneva with
the same ace-in-the-hole that Charles
e. Hughes played in the Wash
ington conference. That is the
ability of the United States to out
build any nation in the world if
necessary. A yelled hint of this
