CHRYSLER BIDS
FOR FORD SEAT
One-Time Locomotive Wiper
Pushes Automobile King
for World LEADERSHIP

Henry Ford for many years has
enjoyed an unquestioned claim to
the honor Of being the biggest single
figure in the automobile world, but
Walter p. Chrysler looms as q rival
as result of the announced $3.50.
100000 Dodge Chrysler merger.
Chrysler's climb has been from a
job wiping locomotives in the Union
Pacific roundhouse at Ellis, Kansas
"a job that Melted him five GEMS
an hour.
It was only four years ago that
his name first appeared on an auto
mobile radiator or hub cap.
Between those two epochs in his
phenomenal career, he served rs q
railway motive power superintend-
ent, foreman of the American Loco
motive plant at Pittsburgh, and as q
production executive for several big
automobile manufacturers.
Chrysler developed q knack for
pulling sick automobile concerns out
Of the doldrums. His last task along
this line was with the Maxwell COM
pany, which he eventually took over
and transformed into the Chrysler
company.
1t is said that when he began man.
ufacturing his own car, it was in
preference to accepting q salary
offer of $1,000, 900 a year.
Line your job" is Chrysler's slo-
gan. And he has manifested all the
"go-getting" qualities that the slo-
gan implies.
Today the automobile world ID
watching with bated breath the fu-
ture activities Of these two giants
Of the industry, Ford and Chryslcr.
II the titanic struggle which is pre-
dlcted by some takes place, new his
tory will be written in the annals Of
big business. Both men are fight
ers and if it ever comes to q show
down, the world may gasp at the
results

The sustaining performance Of the
new Whippet Six, which was intro
duced q short time ago by the
WHY'S Overland company at the low
est price ever reached by any manu.
facturer Of light skies, may result
in a new and higher standard Of

ing to men who are in close touch

Equipped with a seven bearing

other manufacturers Of light skies,
because Of the unusual high per-

Six, may be forced to adopt the

of receipt over expenditures" he
said. The National debt was re-
duced by over 5000, 1000. 900, accom-
panied by material cut in interest
charges. The vast refunding opera
tions begun in 1927 were continued
and have bee., well nigh brought to
a successful conclusion. Taxes were
again cut by ever S22O,000. 900"

lures Of S3,644O00.O00 chargeable
against this ;mount. The two fig

war claims act. the total expendi-
lures amounted to 1851 COZ 600 as
compared with SO, 1000. 900 for the

1T was with shudder of despair
that Mrs. Snyder learned yesterday
OF the presence In the prison Of
Robert Elliott, state electrician.
The horror with which she re-
ceived the information caused spe-
culation on the possibility of her
utter collapse at the death hour,
and the further possibility that she
might have to be carried to the
chair.
She well might have shuddered
at mention of Robert Elliott
name. His is a name that sounds
note of dismal foreboding in the
death house. For Robert Elliott is
the official state executioner.
Elliott said aS he InuMched com"
pOsedly at q hearty meal, that he
favored capital punishment. Elliott
receives $3.50 per execution.
He comes from a village up
State where they describe him as
