Oakland Eight and the New Series Pontiac Big Six.
 This type of windshield recently was perfected by the Fisher Body Corporation after many months Of intensive research and laboratory work at the General Motors proving grounds.
 After extensive experiments with light reflections on many types and designs of windshields, the Fisher engineers finally discovered that the reflections would fall safely below the drivers line of vision when the windshield was set at an angle of seven degrees.
 In addition to it. non-glare fea- ture, the new windshield retains all the original advantages of unob- structed vision and scientific ven:i- lation originally developed by Fish CT. The seven degrees angle has been achieved with no increase in the diameter of the front body pil- lars at poin&s where the vision of the driver might be obscured.

DORIAN ORGANIZES
 BREWERY SQUADS
Spring Squirt of Beer Makers
 May Be Checked

Washington, March a4 (UP) - Prohibition administrators have been ordered by Prohibition Commission CT J. M. Doran to organize their brewery squads for q spring house. cleaning campaign.
 Illicit brewing takes a sudden spurt every spring. Doran said, and the prohibition board of strategy" plans to check the operations of brewers of real beer before they can get started.
 Each administrator will have his own brewery squad" the commits sioner said. If the beer situation becomes acute we will organize a national squad of picked men to cope with the situation.
 There is still some cheating at the cereal beverage plants. The Su- perior brewery in New Jersey was caught making real beer only last Thursday.
 Doran said beer making in the United States was not as highly or ganized as the illicit noonshine in- dustry. While the moonshine and alcohol producers have about S50o.- 00o,0 invested in their enterprise, the beer makers have only a few million dollars at stake.
 There is still q quantity of beer smuggled into the United States from Canada. mostly by motor hut 1o9 bootieggers' main source of supply comes from domestic manufacture, Doran said.

scollay Square Sandwich Vendor Gave Hundreds Of Children
 Wares at Christmas

Boston, Nov. 12 (UP)-A Kris kringle whose pack contained not toys but frankfurter sandwiches will be missing from north end streets this Christmas.
 Axel A. Bjorklund, Scollay Square hot dos" vendor, never had much money. But every Yuletide for the past 10 years he somehow had man aged to scrape together enough funds to finance strange philan- thropy to which he virtually had dedicated his life.
 As Christmas tokens he would dis tribute among north end children hundreds of free frankfurters. and if his supply held out, he would re- appear on New Years day to hand out more hot dogs"
 Bjorklund, so years old and pen- niless, died at a Cambridge hospital Monday night. It seemed, at first, that he might go to pauper's grave, but last night the Swedish Charita- ble society announced he would be given a funeral and burial befitting a real Santa Claus.

FORMER POLICEMAN
 HELD IN JAIL DEATH
No "Whitewash" in Detroit Case, Commissioner
 Tells Press

Detroit, Nov. 12.-tP}-Although Police Commissioner Thomas C, Wilcox announced he had obtained a confession from a fellow prisoner in the death of William T. Jones, who died in & cell of the central police station, Mayor Frank Mur- phy said there would be a thorough investigation and mo Whitewash- ing
 Commissioner Wilcox said that in the alleged confession Peter Wen tala, B, former patrolman and now an iron worker, said that Jones was in an "ugly mood" when he was placed in the golden rule" cell with Wentala and two other prisoners Monday night.
 Wentala was quoted as saying that Jones reiterated his statement made previously to police that q killed Jerry Buckley" (Gerald E. Buckley, radio political commenta- tor, slain by gangsters July 23). A fight ensued, according to the al legged confession, and Wentala knocked Jones down.
 Jones died of brain concussion. Police said the medical examiners report of an autopsy showed that the prisoner was suffering from cirrho osis of the liver, tuberculosis, heart disease and anemia.
 Jones was a preacher for the primitive Baptist church in Missis- sippi before he came to Detroit three years ago. Here, he had worked as millwright. but had been out of work for several months. He wsa married and had seven children.
 Police said his insistence that he had slain Buckley was part of his delirium as he could have had no connection with that case.
 Detroit police years ago adopted the golden rule" plan for dealing with intoxicated persons. Such per sons, unless they have committed some other offense, customarily are jailed until they sober up and then released.
 The prosecutors office was to de- termine today what charge will be placed against Wentala. Meanwhile he is held on a charge of murder.
