 The plans call for a combina- ton of % to 35 individual plants Some of them would be shut down, particularly those which have not been profitable. Much overhead expense would be elim- mated by the plan Such a com bination of companies would ne cessitate some decrease in Terri torial revenues and might appear from a superficial study to be det- rlmental to the business interests of the Territory, MT. Faulkner said. However. such would not be tire case, he added. as it would merely serve to eliminate plants which operate at a loss. thus stop ping what is at present an eco homie waste. He believed the merger would prove beneficial tc the business interests of the Ter rtory as well as 10 the companies concerned.

 Business conditions in South eastern Alaska are apparently opening up favorably this year. Rev. David Waggonner declared in a brief talk to the Chamber Gamers with whom he has talked recently are conservative in their salmon pack estimates for the year.
 On the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island conditions are seri ous, he said. However, the idea, held strongly in some quarters, that the failure of herring to show up in Klawak Inlet this winter is the result of destruction of the fish he regarded as being erroneous. He said he was ia mlliar with the history of the herring runs in those waters for several years and knew that they did not appear every year. There have been years in the past when there were no fish. he added.
 People on the West Coast ara gratfied at the Dall Island rock quarrying development and hope to see real town built around the quarries, he said
 MT. Waggonner suggested that the Chamber attempt to link up the proposed Chatham Strait, mail run with the present Rake route by having the terminus of the former route al Rake.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FALLS CHURCH. Va, May 15.-At
the meeting of the Falls Church Town
Council last night, Maj l.. p Daniel
stated that the injunction suit brought
bv the town against the Fairfax County
Board of Supervisors to prohibit the
latter from assessing any tax for district
road bonds against the real estate OF
the town would be heard this week be-
fore the State Court of Appeals In Rich
mond The council voted to reimburse
Attorneys l.. c. McNemar and Amos
Crounse for court expenses to date Mai.
Daniel stated that despite the fact that
this appeal was pending before
the Supreme Court from the previous
decision of Judge Samuel Brent. who
decided the original case in favor of the
Board of Supervisors. the taxes paid
last November included assessments on
the town real estate for District road
bonds Mai Daniel stated that his in
vestigation showed that the clerk of the
court had failed to include in his certi-
fed copies of the tax levies as given to
the county treasurer and commissioner
Of revenue the paragraph ordering that
such tax should not be levied in the
town of Falls Church.
The council referred to the water
committee, of which Maj. Daniel is
chairman. resolution offered by DR.
Henry Knowles at the request of H. A.
Fellows. which would authorize the
board of supervisors of Arlington
County acting as board of water
commissioners to use all the streets of
East Falls Church. the portion of the
town lying in Arlington County, for
the purpose of laying water mains and
laterals. Maj Daniel stated that in
his opinion this involves the same
question which the town is now bring
ing suit in the State Supreme Court
to decide, ie that the council would
violate its charter by conveying to the
supervisors of either Arlington or Fair
fax County the power to tax town real
estate. According to Mr.. Fellows

opinion property in East Falls Church
was pledged last year when the county
voted a $750,000 bond issue to provide
funds for water In his opinion the
residents of East Falls Church are now
In a position to mandamus the Arling-
ton supervisors and compel them to
bring water to the Arlington County
portion of the town; he also stated
that residents there would object to
paying a town tax for water In addi-
ton to a county tax 1nasmuch as
Maj. Daniel was of the opinion that
no Arlington County tax for water
would be assessed on East Falls Church
until that section is zoned by the
water commissioners and construction
started. 1t was decided to take no
action on Mr.. Fellows request pending
decision by the Supreme Court of the
Fairfax County suit, which would set
a precedent for similar arrangements
between the county and town govern
ments Meantime petition is being
circulated through Falls Church by the
Fire Department asking citizens at the

FOREIGN FIELD
PRIME FOR
j. s. CARS

DETROIT. Mich, April 1S.-The
foreign market for American motor
oars Is a primary market. almost

cultivated in the past as it will be
in the future. or even as 1t Is being
Tnerchandised at present, according
to b. II. Cram, president of Grams

industry authority.
Conditions have been generally
20 good in this country that there
has been little need, until recent
years, for any sizeably expanded
foreign market for American cars.
But Of late, last year particularly,
when the domestic market was not
in q position to absorb the coun-
fry's production of automobiles, the
rest of the world showed itself able
and willing to take great many
more cars than it had done before.
A number of companies placed
from 10 to Is per cent of their total
production in foreign fields. And
the total, large as it is today. shows
every. sign Of steady, healthy de-
Velopment.
The export market has become "A
stabilizing influence in motor trade
and viii become an even greater
one, not particularly from a sales
volume standpoint. but from
financial and earnings point of
view.
While the export business can
never uphold the industry itself, it
is becoming increasingly more Inn
pOrtant. Many companies are COM
Ing more and more to rely on this
source of business when they are
faced with adverse conditions. They
are finding that the same factors
do not generally affect both markets
at one and the same time. To
many companies the return from
their foreign business meant the
