Many of these models have circular

consumers in the second high area

were unable to draw water from
faucets on the second floor of their
homes for a brief period due to low

FORD SEES WASTE
IN AUTO TRADE WAR
Manufacturer, on. Birthday,
Discusses Plans for
New Car.
BIZ the Associated Press.

DETROIT, July 30--Henrv Ford
believes an automotive trade war
would be wasteful and bad policy for
all companies concerned; that the
dreaded saturation point in automobile
production IS a myth; he does not
plan abandoning the low priced car
field and believes his company will
surpass it's own record of producing
Is, 900 900 cars in 10 years, with the
new Ford car soon to be introduced on
the market.
The industrial wizard expressed his
views on some pertinent subjects
which have been the basis of sensa.
tional runors within and without the
autonotive industry during the past
few months, to a group of associates
here today on the occasion of his Saith
birthday.
Trade War Rumor.
in reference to the trade war rumor
Mr.. Ford declared:
We have no desire to take business
away from any automobile manufac-
turer. Our thought has always been
that the automobile business is pros
porous only when all of the makers of
cars are busy. If any particular auto
mobile Companys success meant put
ting out Of business some other auto
mobile manufacturer, there would be
no gain to that: it would only mean
putting thousands of men out of work,
letting valuable power go to waste
and, maybe, throwing a great indus
try out of balance"
Discussing the saturation point bug
abo. Mr.. Ford said the best expression
of his views on that subject could be
CLEANED from the fact that he planned
to 80 far beyond previous production
records in the coming years.
I'VE built 10000 900 model r cars
in less than 10 years and we expect to
build many more than 10 900, 900 of the
new cars in much less than 10 years.
THAT might sound strange. but you
must realize that there are still parts
of the world where there are many
families without automobiles. There
are some parts of the world where
whole families have never seen an
automobile"
Mr. Ford would not discuss the de-
tails of design of his coming new car.
He said he expected to announce
complete description of the new model
within few weeks.
Tests for New Car.
OF the many rumofs circulated
about the new car, Mr.. Ford said most
were misleading. There's the mat
ter of price, for example. We didn't
build this new Ford to fit price, but
we are certainly not abandoning the
low priced field"
Mr.. Ford revealed that he had been
testing out his new car for the past
several months over Michigan roads.
Wednesday and Thursday of this
week were spent in long motor and
speed tests in drives through upper

have appropriated 700 for work
in various cities, and of that total
slightly more than s2,000,00N was for
projects in the District of Columbia
Local Budget May Increase.
There is a possibility that when
these items are resubmitted TO the in
coming Congress the amount recon-
mended Cor carrying on the Wash.
insto program will be greater than
was provided for in the bill that failed
at the last session.
This group Of estimates will consti-
tute the second installment for the
building program in the National Capt.
tai. The first installment was appro-
priated by Congress in 1926, and is
still available, to he used by the Treas
urv as soon as it is ready TO begin
work. 1t included $500 900 to begin
work on the central part of the main
Department of Agriculture Building,
$500 900 to start the Commerce Build
Ing. S1.700 900 10 start the Internal
Revenue Building, 81 900. 900 to start
The Archives Building and 100000
toward enlarging the Government
Printing Office.
List of Local Items.
The local sums asked for in the
bill which failed 10 pass in the clos
ing days of Congress this year were: An
additional 100000 for the central part
Of the main Department of Agricul-
tlre Building, $500. 900 to begin an eX-
tensble office building for the Agri-
cultural Department, an additional
$500 900 for work on the Commerce
Building, an additional $500, 900 for the
Internal Revenue Building and an adj
ditiOnal S250000 for enlarging the
Government Printing Office.
II is not known a this time 10
what extent these figures will be
changed when they are resubmitted TO
the Budget Bureau this Fall, bur the
bill which died with the adjournment
of Congress in March will form the
basis of the estimates about to be
prepared.
