Plans Short Stay
Hoover will remain here a week
Or 10 days before resuming his
travels. He will transfer his head
and there. after a week or 10 days
fishing, turn to preparation for his
next sea voyage Under plans now
forming, he will be underway on
a short Caribbean cruise about Feb
ruary /. Although no stops beyond
Havana have been decided upon, it
is likely that the itinerary may
include several others, at Sauto
Domingo. Porto Rico and the Vir-
gin Islands.
These plans, however, must
await his conferences here, upon
which viii depend in large meas.
ure the future course of Congress.
If the special session of Congress
is inevitable, as now seems ap-
parent, the Caribbean cruise, may
be reduced to a mere weekend
trip to Havana.
The Navy Department has no in
formation as to the type of craft
the president-elect may desire for
his next trip. but the battleship
Utah, which carried Hoover back
from Uruguay, is being held in
readiness the remainder of this
week awaiting word from Hoover.
The special high-frequency radio
equipment installed on the Utah
for accommodation of the Hoover
tour press dispatches was ordered
removed last Thursday. On Satur-
day the transfer order was re-
scinded. Unless new orders reach
her. the Utah VIII steam from
Hampton Roads Friday for Panama
for the scouting fleet winter
nnaneuvers.
Hoover sat down to his desk to-
day in better physical condition
than he has been for several years.
The long sea voyage has completely
restored his depleted vitality.

REAL. PROBLEM
PRESENTED TO
OAKLAND FIRM

PONTIAC, Mich. Feb. 20.-(Spe'
cial. One of the major surprises
registered at the first showing of
the new Pontiac Big Six, is the fact
that the Oakland Motor Car Com
pany has been able to retain the
original base price Of $745 on a car
so completely eclipsing previous
Pontiacs in size, speed, performance
and beauty.
Immense purchasing power and
the vast economies of quality pro
duction are the secrets behind the
increased value which the new Pom
tiac Big Six presents explained
w. r. Tracy, vice president in charge
Of sales.
Incidentally, VIII, Il ;in automo,
bile is improved ahd enlarged so
radically as is the new Pontiac Big
Six, the major changes in factory
tooling and equipment and in all the
infinite detail of building motor
ear, present genuine problem
which subjects the cleverest manu-
featuring brains to the ultimate
test" Mr.. Tracy continued.
A new model only slightly dil-
fcrent from the previous line may
be placed in production after rela-
lively simple changes in equipment
and production arrangements. Un,
der such conditions, the factory
within Il week or to may attain
maximum production on the new
model.
"But in introducing a greatly i'm
proved model, the task becomes
multiplied many fold because the
amount of preparatory work is in
direct proportion to the number and
the Importance of the improvements.
IN preparing to turn out a practical
~ new Pontiac Six our production
department faced the most complex
problem in the history of the Oak
land Motor Car Company. Changes
had to be made all along the line,
from boundary specifications to the
finish of the tail lamp. The new
gear and axle plant, the motor lines,
assembly lines, sheet metal stamp
ing department-even the shipping
department-required revamping i"
preparation for building this new
Pontiac which we are positive will
bring us the greatest volume year in
our history.
"But with the factory changes
all completed, and with ears rolling
from the assembly lines as rapidly
as is possible-while conforming TO
our rigid precision and inspection
standards-delivery of the new
Pontiac Six to the ultimate cOnsum-
er may he expected to take place
soon after the car has been placed
on display at the dealers show

private secretary, has shown no
animosity toward the man who muir

In his - years in the service Of
the Doheny family, Plunkett was
almost as much friend as an en-
plovee. The Dohenys, remembering
their years Of close association,
probably have preferred to place all
the blame for his act on his mental
collapse.
Condolences of many friends have
