FOUR WHEEL TR ANSMISSION AUTO
IN TEN YEARS, SAYS PARTS MAN
Charles E. Thompson Expects Changes tc
Make Cars of Today Look Like
1906 Models.
By the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, December 2s.-Visions
Of the automobile six or eight years
from now that make the present car
look like a 1906 "chug buggy" were
spun here today by Charles E. Thonp-
son. manufacturer of parts for internal
combustion engines and former direc-
tor and president of the Automobile
Accessory Manufacturers Association.
Thompson spends much Of his time
"visualizing" -endeavor to be pre-
pared for future advances-and visiting
and discussing trends with automobile
and airplane manufacturers and en-
gineers.
Within the next six or eight years
vastly improved automobile will be
placed on the market, Thompson be-
lieves. His forecast is tha5 the next
step in automobile construction Will
be four-wheel transmission with engine
in the center, possibly under the front
seat and insulated from the interior
Of the car.
More Nearly ideal.
-Four wheel transmission will be
more nearly the ideal" Thompson said.
cit will be more flexible and will ie-
| spond more readily to the inclination
Of the driver. 1t will afford more speed,
] cause the automobile TO jump ahead
faster and turn corners more rapidly"
He suggested that the means Of trans
ferring power from the engine to the
wheels might take a decidedly new
form.
1.-THE more immediate improvement
will be made in the chassis. It will
be made more dependable, more rigid
and less wearing on the body and the
rider. All vibration will be confined
to the engine, wheels. springs and
! shock absorbers. The present-day
chassis weaves about too much, tearing
apart the body and firing the occu-
pants"
Would Abolish Bolts.
The whole chassis, he believes
should be built out Of one solid piece
of steel tubing, without bolts or rivets
Thompson also discussed some of the
trends in airplane development. He
foresees the airplane operated by q
! central power plant, with small, less
noisy propellers situated on various
parts of the wings and trsnsference Of
| power also taking a new form.
Prope1lers will play a bigger role
in plotting and will perhaps be made
| to turn upward to make the plane rise
more perpendicularly.
According to Thompson's views, the
| plane will be all-metal and much more

BY WILLIAM HARD.

Senator Swanson of Virginia has a
Highland an amply deserved-reputa-
ton as one Of the great sages Of Ameri-
can politics. His maxinls for the con-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-12-29

It was drawn from Senator Swan
son by Southern colleague Of his who
said that he was going to go back home
and make mincemeat of his certain po-
litical enemy Of his in his State. Sen
ator Swanson remarked:
That's all right. You're on the right
track. You must have somebody You
must have a punching bag. Nobody can
get along in politics without having a
fellow that he punches for exercise. But
be careful Choose the right fellow, and
hit him in the right spot, so he won't
bounce back too hard.
There was fellow in my State who
picked on me to be his punching bag,
and he used to hit me every time he
made a speech, and it went fine till one
day I bounced back so hard that
knocked him out Of politics for eight
years. So go ahead, but go careful Sc
lect your human punching bag with
the greatest discretion, and then be al
ways sure that you hit him at slant
where the bouncing back isn't good.
Punching bags are essential to politics,
but It still is more essential to choose
'em not too lively and to hit EN- not too
strong"
There is infinite canniness in that
discourse. Incorrect selections of
punching bags and incorrect assaults
upon them have ruined many fair
political career.
Another maxim of the Senator's is:
When you're dealing with red-hot
pokers, don't do 1t on the porch. Do 1t
in the kitchen"
In playfully cynical and whimsical
moods, the Senator has a maxim that
is one of his most famous among his
senatorial colleagues. Mr.. Swanson al
ways calculates it with a delightfully."-
ironic accent upon the word doubt"
It is:
I'm politics, when in doubt do right"
The most illustrious and historic piece
Of advice by the Senator. however, is
the one that he is reputed to have Of
Tered to President Wilson during the
League Of Nations fight on the subject
OF bees. He is said to have said:
mfr. President, these reservations to
the Covenant OF the League are swarm
ing all over the place. Now, Mr.. Presi-
dent, what does wise man do when
the bees are swarming? He does not
wait for his neighbors to do the beat
ing Of pans. He gets right out with his
own pan, and he beats it himself, and
he beats 1t first, and the bees come
down In his yard and he has EN-. Now,
Mr.. President, if you'll get the biggest
pan there is and beat louder for reser-
vattons than Mr.. Lodge, or anybody
else, why, the reservations will be yours
and you will have them your way, and
they will be right and we will be in the
League on your terms
There is virtually not a Democratic
Senator who went through that fight
who does not realize now that Senator
SWanson's advice was wholly accurate.
The Senator has a vivacity of man
ner that beautifully supplements. his
vivacity OF language. He can be relied
upon, even in the midst of the Hottest
and mcst heroic undertakings, to con-
tinue to be amusing He has not allow

He was warned against trcacherous going over tn" Alleghenys. but took off a third time. only to lose his way in a fog. He made a forced landing at Sea- tons Lake. Pa, and wrecked the plane. The ship turned over, bend ing the propeller ripping out the struts and demolishing the rudder. but Ingalls, escaped unhurt. He gave orders 10 salvage his plane and bought a railroad ticket Both h. gals and Representative Rogers plan 10 fly back.
