AUTO PRODUCTION
WILL BE EXPANDED
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special OlSpatCn TO Inc star.
NEW YORK, January 17.-The auto
mobile industry is back from vacation
It has not yet really buckled down to
work for another year, but it is moving
and within brief space is expected
to be warmed up to normal efficiency.
This fact has had direct bearing on
the business and economic situation of
the country in the last week, for auto
mobile manufacture Is one of the key
industries of the Nation.
The makers of motor cars use large
quantities of both raw and finished
commodities and the producers Of such
lines are now benef1ting materially from
the renewal OF activity In automotive
centers.
Some idea of the extent of this
influence can be gained from the infor-
nation just made public that 5,651 900
cars and trucks were built in 1929 In
this country which had a wholesale
value of $3,483 600, 900. If production
approaches in 1880 the output of 1929,
the industry will go far toward making
the entire country prosperous. In the
last year the industry was responsible
for the manufacture of 1920, 000, 900
worth of parts and accessories, figured
at wholesale value, while 4,300 900
workers employed directly or indirectly
by the business.
The rubber and tire industry Is de-
veloping a brisker pace, as Is natural
in view of the TACT that 5000, 000, 900
worth of tires were required for re-
placements alone in 1929 on the 26,700,-
900 motor vehicles registered in this
country. Crude rubber used aggregated
913920,000 pounds last year.
The steel mills have shown improve
ment during the last week and indica-
lions to government officials are that
the upward trend can be counted on
for some months to come.

STOCKS ARE LOWER
IN DRAGGY MARKET
TRANSACTIONS ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE SCCK
Market Sells Off Easily as
Bears Launch Attacks
on Certain Issues.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, January 17.-Reaction-
airy tendencies were quite pronounced
in today's stock market, although prices
did not break out of the narrow trad
ing area within which they have been
fioundering since the turn Of the year
Renewal of selling pressure against
many of the leading industrial and
public utility issues carried several OF
them down 1 to points, but the rails
showed little change. Tobacco issues
gave the only demonstration of group
strength.
The market was confronted with an
other large quota of rather unfavorable
business and financial news. The An
aconda Copper Co. announced the clos
ing of two additional mines, making
three this week, presumably to curtail
production and maintain the current
ID cents pound price level for copper.
The Department of Justice asked dis
missal of suits seeking modification Of
the packers consent decree. The
wholesale price index is reported to
have declined in the week ended Janu-
airy IA to the lowest level in five years.
Call money renewed at Az per cent,
but again dropped to 4. More activity
was reported in the time money and
boAhCio dSCCpIdIlCSo LldIheISs UuI TdI6S
were unchanged, although the longer
maturities in the time market were re-
ported to be little firmer. The in
crease Of $13,000,000 in Federal Re-
serve brokers' loans was somewhat
smaller than expected.
Communications shares were among
the leading selling targets in today's
market. Western Union dropped 5
points and American Telephone, Inter-
national Telephone and Radio Corpora
ton dropped 2 to 35s points, and then
made irregular recovery.
Offerings generally became more ex-
tensive late in the day, with further
liquidation of the radio group and
decline in U. S. Steel to below 1863, the
price at which the stock was recently
offered to employees. Grigsby-Gru
fell 4 points to 1412, approximating its
low record. Western Union went down
z points, j. I. Case 6, and Johns-Man-
, vile, Westinghouse Electric, American
& Foreign Power and Simmons between
and 4. The closing tone was weak.
Total sales were about 100000 shares.

Washington Ticker
BY CLINTON COFFIN,


Associated Press FINANCIAL Wrlters
Within the next two or three weeks
the Federal Trade Commission, in the
conduct of It's congresSionally ordered
inquiry into the public utilities stu
alton, expects to bring up some matters
Of more than ordinary public moment
and to put its procedure upon entirely
new ground. So far the investigation
has related exclusively to the publicity
and advertising expenditures OF utili-
ties and associations OF utility corpo-
rations. Now, 1t Is said both by COM
mission agents and representatives oil
utility organizations the commission
will pick out one of the typical mergers
of operating power and light units and
60 into its capitalization, management
methods and ownership. A Stable
corps of accountants and auditors In
the commission employ has been Tor
months working up the data, which Will
be taken into open hearings IN WASH
ington.
AS a general thing it has been the
policy of utility organizations to inter-
pose no objection to the commissions
search through their records. One ex-
ception to that rule has been noted In
the Electric Bond d Share Corporation
primarily a holding company, which
protested in court against some OF the
COIIlIIllSSlOIlS Qe1ldIlUS lOI ITO AhCc, Wv
was only partly sustained by the courts
decision. The balance of the 1000 OF
more corporate units of the country
classed as utilities have let the COM
mission representatives go as far as they
liked, although a number Of enterprises
whose operations are wholly intrastate
in character have refused to answer
missionaries as to their accounts. A
tremendous amount of accounting and
statistical material has been thus as
sembled.
It is rather expected that the forth
coming inquiry will stress sharply the
prices paid during the last two or three
years by the great utility mergers for
local operating properties, and that the
endeavor will be made to examine criti-
cally a rather considerable number OF
these purchase transactions. The rela-
tons between holdings corporations,
such as Electric Bond g. Share, Stone
81 Webster, j. G. White a. Co., and H.
M. Byllsby g. Co., and their operating
subsidiaries, has also been under ex-
ploration. Several of the holdings con-
Germs regularly take management con-
tracts over the operating units for fees
running to az per cent or more of gross
revenues, and the commission will prob
ably seek to challenge the Justification
Of several such arrangements. Finally,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-01-17

the comparison between actual invest
ment in the linked enterprises, as far al
that can be ascertained, with the out
standing total of securities created by
their financial administration, will be
recorded
The chief opportunity for scandal, it
is agreed on all sides, lays in the ex-
animation Of the prices paid for local
properties since the great utility merger
era got under way, which is of compare
lively recent date. Utilities spokesman
are preparing to defend the perform
ance in merger matters of the industry
as a whole, on the ground that merger
meant interconnection of power re-
sources and more dependable and
cheaper power for the public, although
anticipating that some of the details will
not be entirely palatable to public opin-
Ion. Further, 1t is rather the opinion of
the industry that the degree and scope
OF merger progress hasn't been so i'm
portant in utilities as it has been in
railroads and in industry generally. 1t
Is rather clear that managers and bank
erS OF utility enterprises feel that the
policy OF paying seemingly high prices
Tor local electric plants to bring them
into interconnected webs of central gen.
Grating plants under consolidated oper-
atoms has been in the main justiflable.
In refusing the Baltimore & Ohio
System the right to retain control which
1t has practically succeeded in attaining
over the Western Maryland Railway,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has manifestly strengthened some por-
lions OF its recently announced plan for
general railroad consolidation. BY that
plan the Western Maryland was as
signed to the Wabash System, along
with a number Of lines such as the
Norfolk d. Western and Seaboard Air
Line, which would bridge a new carrier
system through from the West to the
Far Southwest of the country. The
Western Maryland is principally i'm
PORTRAIT In such an arrangement because
1t reaches the port of Baltimore, and
the commissions decision, issued yes
terday, holds that the Baltimore & Ohio
cannot rightfully retain possession Of
the smaller line because the conjunction
OF the two means unlawful restraint Of
competition in railroad service.
II the Baltimore & Ohio accepts the
finding without an appeal to the courts,
one detail OF the commissions project
for expanding the Wabash into a fifth
trunk line In Eastern territory Is made
practicable. However, as has frequently
been pointed out about the consolida-
ton situation, the initiative remains
with railroad management. The Gov

schemes or portions of schemes that fail

It doesn't seem probable that any
consolidation action will be instituted
by railroad interests until the investi-

KuheI More Valuable at Bat
Than Hitting Average Sho,us

IT'S what your hits get rather than
what hits you get that means most
to a ball club. And that's why
Joe Kuhel, recent importation from
Kansas City, is such a help to the
Nationals. The young first sacker
hasn't set the league afire as batter.
In fact, he's seeking only in the low
zoos. But Joe certainly means much
to the club when he's up at the plate.
He has played in only dozen games,
vet he has driven over more runs in
his brief career as a National than
has Muddy Ruel, who has been u many
more engagements this season, What's
more, Kuhel'S bat has been more potent,
comparatively, in the manufacture OF
runs than that of the club leader in
the business of showing tallies across.
Joe Cronin has been in about nine times
as many games as has Kuhel, but he
has sent over only about seven times as
many runs.
Kuhel is responsible for the tally
ing of IS runs by others and has
crossed the plate five times. Which is
pretty good for a dozen games and
batter Of the .230 class.
A CCORDING to the plans of the

will be in the pitching box this
afternoon when Nationals and Tigers

THESE Tigers have been getting

been their pitching more than anything
else that has enabled them to play
the best base ball in the American
League the past four weeks. The best
of their pitching has been done by
Earl Whitehill, left-hander, who in mid

might have been traded for good bat

ing in the second game of the double
header, which was called at the end Of
the eleventh at 3-an.
After the Cubs had scored two runs
in the ninth session of the opener for
a 10-to-9 victory, Sheriff Blake held the
Phjllies to two hits in seven innings In
the second contest, only to ruin his
performance by issuing five walks. The

Hack Wilson's forty-first homer of
the season helped the Cubs TO an 8-to-1
lead as the Phlllies went into their half
of the seventh, but the Fasteners
