CURB SHARES HIT
/ BY TAKING
Utilities and Rails Are Fea-
lures of Lively Short
Session.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, March 29.-With trad
ing brisk from the opening gong the
curb market today steadily increased its
pace as the session progressed, but price
movements became irregular as some
profit-taking set In after the violent
advance.
Utilities and rails, along with indus
trials and invesSSent trusts, were IN
demand at the opening. Buying IN
some of the pivotal securities, such as
Electric Bond &; Share and American
Superpower, was so heavy that bunch
ing OF orders was necessary, causing
DELAYED openings.
Electric Bond a. Share opened Is
minutes late on 14,500 shares at 1o93s,
OF IA. American Superpower, on lot
of $4,000 shares, appeared at 341s,
up n. United Light g. Power A and
others whirled.
Tampa Electric again was an out
standing feature, as 1t was bid up about
IL points to a new 1880 top in the first
half hour on reported merger moves.
The advance in Long Island Lighting
common followed publication OF report
ed merger negotiations with Brooklyn
Union Gas, which were broken of by
the former as the price offered was
too low. The prospect of joining Mag
ara Hudson with Mohawk Hudson and
forming a new company failed to bring
bidding into the first named concern.
Chesapeake e. Ohio new led the rails,
opening at new high on the belief that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
soon will act on the carriers petition
to split its shares four for one. Western
Maryland first preferred, usually mac
tive, opened up points and then rose
2 points more to 105, new high for
the year.
Cord Corporation started on a block
of 1000 shares at 1884, up Il and at
new high level. Anglo-Chilean Nitrate
and Newmont Mining again featured
the mine list while some of the special
ties, such as Technicolor, slipped to new
lows after brisk run-ups in the last
few weeks.
The air shares also benefited from
the early bidding-up process. Aviation
Corporation of America and Irving Air
Chute mounted into new attitudes and
others equaled previous heights or came
near them.
A miscellaneous lot of industrials, in
Guiding Great Atlantic 81 Pacific Tea,
Starrett Corporation and Dow Chem
ical advanced, some of them reaching
new tops.

MINING DEVELOPMENT
In CHILE INCREASES

Mining development in Chile, mainly
copper, as the main cause of the rising
volume of American capital flowing into
that country. is emphasized by DR.. Max
Winkler, vice president of Bertron,
Griscom g. Co., in study made for the
World Peace Foundation. DIR. Winkler
points out that our Chilean investments
have increased almost 35-fold in less
than Is years. Copper production in
1928" he writes, was some 80 per cent
larger than in 1927, the investment of
United States capital having made Chile
the second In rank of copper-producing
countries"

CLOSED MODELS
LEAD OTHERS

In the good old days Of busters
and. goggles the open phaeton
vastly outnumbered the closed
type Of automobile and the lat
ter was the acknowledged aristo-
crat Of the road. Only the most
prosperous could afford to buy
closed cars which, because of
their limited production, far ex-
ceeded the cost of the open
models.
But the thoroughness Of mod
ern factory methods and the
manufacturing economies effected
through increasing production,
brought the cost of closed cars
down to a level that opened q
wider market. Appreciation Of
the greater comfort and utility
of the closed models developed a
steady increase in demand until
sales volumes exceeded that Of
the open cars. Finally the closed
bodies became the common type
with the phaeton or other open
models as the infrequent excep-
ton.
Thus have the tables been
turned. Today the phaeton at
tracts the same envious atten-
ton formerly accorded the closed
car. But, according to executives
of the Oakland Motor Car Com
pany, a certain demand always
will exist for the open car.
They classify this open air"
market into three general groups
Of motorists. First is the hardy
who never has for
saken his love for the open car
and who probably never will. Sec
ond is the youthful driver who
loves the out-of-doorS, dresses for
it and thrives on it.

4,500,000 CAR
OUTPUT SEEN

With experts agreeing that
normal requirements in the motor
car business will present ready
market for at least three million
new automobiles this year, there
are number of factors which
are certain to keep production
figures level" according to John
A. Nichols, jr., secretary and
treasurer of Durant Motors, Inc
Most important of these is the
organization by Mr.. Hoover of
business in general to maintain
a maximum of activity in all
lines. The enthusiasm and CO.
operation the President immedi
ately obtained for his proposal
augurs splendidly for its success
And the stimulation of all lines
of endeaVor which we may conf
IDENTIFY expect from this move
will affect favorabIy the pocket
book Of virtually every prospective
automobile buyer in the country.
For this widespread activity, OF
course, has its correlative Of
many Jobs and much spending
money"
The Durant secretary-treasurer
declared it was safe to assume
that automobile production for
1880 would approximate five
million units, and might go
higher.
The actual production peak
depends. of course, on the number
Of new car sales" Nichols con-
tinued. we have a basis Of
100000 automobiles for replace
ment purposes. That is the nor
NAL, conservative expectancy.
The export market, according to
the Well-informed will care for
something like 10000 cars, not
including these made abroad.
Thus, with 3,75O,00O as a ground
work, with the number of families
owning two or more cars steadily
growing and with the number of
persons able to buy cars increaS-
ing, continuing sound production
is inevitable. A total of 4.500.0O0.
which is a very conservative csti-
mate, represents a wonderful
business"

nounced and is being exhibited
at the auto show by the Mid
City Sales Company, local dis
tributorS.
The new WHY'S Six, a product
OF the WHY'S Overland Company,
is an entirely new car, designed
to meet the expressed demand
of the buying public for a low
priced car with speed and power.
In appearance the new car Of
fers a style development as pro-
nounced as its exceptional per-
formance. The new line includes
standard sedan, de luxe sedan,
coupe, roadster, coach and tour
ing.
Numerous features of ultra
modern engineering are embraced
in the construction of this en-
tirely new car. The bodies are
characterized by long sweeping
lines, trim, narrow radiator and
carefully tailored rear quarters.
Conspicuous among the cars in
the exhibit is the WHY'S de luxe
sedan. This car provides every
element of luxury, quality and
style usually found only in the
higher-priCed cars. It's exterior
smartness is accentuated by the
rich color blend of jet, midnight

THE general adoption OF safety
glass as complete equipment un-
doubtedly will effect a great re-
duction in the total of injuries
in automobile accidents. Accord
ing to figures compiled by the
American Automobile Association,
TO- to IS per cent of those in
jured in accidents are victims of
breaking glass. These figures are
borne out by a survey covering
26 States, conducted by large
insurance company which re-
vealed that fragments Of glass

PRICES Of CARS
To Be HIGHER
THIS YEAR

Will passenger car prices for
1880 be higher or lower? How
DO the 1880 prices compare with
prices during the past 80 years?
AN analysis of current prices
made by the American Motorists
Association shows that the 1880
retail passenger car price will,
eon an average. be slightly higher
than last years average retail
price.
Definite data as to retail prices,
She A. M. A. points out, cannot
be accurately compiled, due to
variations in freight rates and
finance charges. Estimates of
che Department of Commerce
show, however, that the average
retail price in 1929 was $812
per passenger car.
Bottom Reached
Using TO. b. factory prices as
= basis of comparison for the
past three years the A. M. A. sur
Eey shows that the average 1929
Factory price was $687. Beg. COM
pared with $673 in 1923, and
1888 in 1927.
Price ranges, announced at
Che auto show, showed a slight
increase over last years prices,
but an examination of the new
models on exhibit show that this
increase is more than offset by
marked refinementS in practically
all makes and the further fact
that it is now the practice of
most manufacturers to fully equip
most models with the accessories
which were formerly sold sep
Arately to the motor car pur-
chaser" it is pointed out by
Thomas j. Keefe, general man
hger of the A. M. A.
Comparing the average cost Of
passenger automobiles since 1900
the figures show almost a con-
tinuous and uninterrupted decline
during the past 20 years. The
average factory price in 1900 was
k1,168.
Drops Since 1910
This increased slightly to $1,189
VII IS1U, dropping TO S949 IN 1SZU,
with a steady decline each year
until 1928, when the average
factory price was 1878, being
The lowest of record.
The analysis of the New York
show prices, accepted as a cri-
terion by the A. M. A., shows
That there were 20 different makes
offered under $1,000. the average
price being 1927. In the $1,000
TO $4,000 class there were II
Fnakes, the average minimum
price being 1889, while there
were IL makes shown at prices
above $4,000, the average being
1854. The figures are all based
jon prices Of the cheapest models
exhibited.

ity, economy and luxury have been
made possible by large production,
specialized machinery, scientific engi.
neering and more rigid control of quality.
Today's buyer has the right to insist on a
new measure of satisfaction in the owner

Shatter-Proof Glass
In New Paige Cars

Safety plate glass throughout
every model, recently announced
as one of the contributions of the
Graham-Paige Motors Corpora
ton to the list of important de
velopments for 1880, is a headline
attraction at the auto show. 1t
will be the first time that shat
ter-proof glass as all-around equip
ment has been seen except in cars
of the luxury classification.
All glass in all GrahamS is
laminated plate, proof against
splintering; the models in the
lower price range share with the
larger cars the distinction Of
being safeguarded, not only in
the windshield but in every door
and window" stated Ray Semmes
president Of the SemmeS Motor
Company Graham distributors.
Major to Minor
The Graham exhibit is regard
ed as marking the definite start
Of trend destined to become
general. The use Of safety glass
exclusively will mean that many
potential major accidents will De
merely minor in their results.
while the inevitable minor mis-
haps of motoring will no longer
carry the menace of major IL
jurieS.
The safety glass used in the
1890 Graham cars IS not the
legendary unbreakable glass of
the ancients. It is modern plate
glass made proof against SPIN
tering and fragmentation by re-
inforclng it with sheets of trans.
parent substance that is both
tough and flexible.
Robert C. Graham. vice presi-
dent of the Paige Motors
Corporation, predicts rapid
spread Of the demand and of the
use of safety glass.
Demand Growing
The demand for the use of
Shatter-prOof glass throughout
motor cars already exists and
will grow rapidly as the public
realizes the need for this protec-
tive measure" said Mr.. Graham.

CANAL CO.. FIGHTS
PARK LAND SUIT
Right to Condemn Without
Maryland Virginia Consent
Questioned.

The Chesapeake g. Ohio Canal Co.,
which owns certain property at Twenty
eighth street and Virginia avenue sought
70 be condemned by the United States
In connection with the improvement of
Rock Creek, has filed objections in the
District Supreme Court. The company,
which constructed the second water
link in the United States, questions the
right Of Congress to direct the acquisi-
ton OF its property, which it holds
under various charters enacted by the
Legislatures of Maryland and Virginia
and which have been approved by acts
OF Congress. These rights, 1t is con-
tended, cannot be abrogated by any act
OF Congress unless the States of Vir-
ginia and Maryland both agree.
Through Attorneys Hamilton e. Ham,
tlton and Edmund Brady, the company
contends that the ratification by Con-
greSs of the various enactments of
Maryland and Virginia in connection
with the canal constitute a contract or
compact between the States and the
Federal Government which cannot be
abrogated by the United States with
out the consent of the two sovereign
States.
The condemnation proceeding was
Instituted some weeks ago by United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover and As
siStant Attorney General Henry H.
Classic at the request of the Rock Greek
and Potomac Park Commission in con-
nection with other properties along the
line Of Rock Greek for the purpose of
preventing pollution of that stream.

enactment of the budget law, show
that the inclusion of the local govern
ment in the Federal budget law has
circumscribed the authority of the
Commissioners in molding the city's
appropriation program from year to
year.
Broad Question Involved.
This discussion is not intended as a
criticism of Budget Bureau officials,
past or present, nor does it necessarily
imply that the decisions from time to
time on questions of municipal policy
have been unWiSe The budget and &C
counting law of 1921 defined the juris-
diction which the bureau exercises over
District estimates. But, aside from the
merits of Budget Bureau decisions on
matters of local policy. the question
is approached here from the elementary
standpoint of whether Federal agency
should possess the same jurisdiction
over the detailed expenditures for the
municipal government of Washington
that it properly exercises over the item
lied plans of Federal departments.
At intervals since 1921 there has
been discussion among District citizens
of the advisability Of asking Congress
to relieve the local government from
the necessity of going through the Fed
eral budget machinery in getting its
financial program before Congress.
While the question has not been in the
foreground recently, recommendations
we're made to Congress few years ago
along this line. Toward the close of
1926 it was brought to the attention Of
the Gibson subcommittee of the House,
which was then making a compre-
hensive study of the District govern
ment, by Auditor Daniel ]. Donovan.
A definite recommendation that the
District be given its own budget bureau
also was included in the report on the
local government prepared by the In
stitute for Government Research Of the
Brookings Institution.
When the budget and accounting law
was enacted in June 1921 applying for
the first time to the appropriation bills
for the fiscal year 1922-1923), Congress
was appropriating for the District on
the 60-40 basis.
Lump Sum Changed Practice.
Whatever justification existed for in
Guiding the District government in the
Federal budget law originally centered
around the fact that Uncle Sam then
had Accent interest in every 81 APP
propriated for the District. But three
years after the Budget Bureau began to
function Congress departed from the
percentage basis of apportioning Dis
trict expenses and adopted the arbitrary
SO, 0o0, 900 lump sum as the Federal con-
tribution.
Thus. for seven of the nine years of
Federal Budget Bureau control, the
United States contribution has been a
lump sum, and for six consecutive years.
from 1925 to 1880. inclusive, the lump
sum remained stationary at $4,000, 900.
despite the fact that during those years
the total of District appropriat
mounted steadily. For the present fiscal
year the lump sum has been raised to
$500 900, but this increase was OBJ
tanned through the vigorous battling of
the Senate on behalf of the people Of
the District.
The budget for this year went to
Congress last December, as it had for
several preceding years. with the So
100000 lump-sum provision already
