It is because he is the evidence that it was close in Alabama, and that the Smith supporters almost numerous as those who opposed the New York Governor. It indicates a break in the very dry South.
 The Smith delegate elected Mayor W. A. Gunter of Montgomery, who is one of the dele gates at large He the recognized leader of the Smith forces, and had the support of former Senator Underwood, Editor Frederic l. Thompson of Birmingham and Mobile papers and of President Wilson's Shipping Board mem bers, Editor Victory H. Hanson of Birmingham and Montgomery papers and others of importance in the State.

Mayor Gunter came so near win ming majority of the delegation that it is said Senator Heflin is becoming uneasy about the stability of his seat in the Senate and fearful of fall two years hence.
 One would think from comment on the Ala bama primary that Gov. Smiths supporters had been victorious

 While the plan is designed pri- marily to remedy the economic de- fects of his most notable innovation along that line. tho five day week, 1t is believed hs hopes with an in- creased production to abolish per manently all night work.
 Employment of the great addi- tional force planned will be com pleted by March 1. the announce ment said, and production of the model A Ford will be increased from 33.5o0 a week to <o,2oo.
 All On Same Plan
 oHly tHS ldSlOI1 uCic '" liA pS ei fected Immediately, but it is under stood assembly plants in other cities will operate on the same plan when production has sufficiently increas- ed. Tho announcement warned that the unemployed of Detroit would receive first consideration and that men unable to show record of previous employment here would find little opportunity for employ ment at the Ford plant.
 Mir. Ford had only one sentence of comment on the plan.
 "A six day week is all right for machines" he said, but five day week is enough for men,"
 Belief that abolition of night work will follow development of the plan is based on the oft-expressed antipathy of Mir. Ford to "unnatur- al hours of labor" Virtually all au- tomobile factories now have mid night" shift operating at full capa- city.
 Authorities on the employment situation said that removal of 30,- 900 men from the ranks Of unem- ployed would leave Detroit in better shape from q social welfare stand point than at any time in recent years.
