AUTO OUTPUT HELD
TO LOWER LEVELS
Factory Operations Con-
troIIed in Accordance With
Sales During First Quarter.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT. April 1s-Reports Of first
quarter operations made during the past
week have reflected the conditions Of
controlled output which automobile
plants have been maintaining since
the first of the year IN common with
other industries.
Compared with the same period Of
previous years. the showings so far re-
ported are generally lower than for
k928, to the status of which. observers
toncede, the volume for 1880 seems
likely to revert, following the abnormal
heights of 1929.
The trend Is indicated by the omis-
Sion Of the quarterly dividend by WHY'S
Overland and payment out of earnings
and surplus Of the Nash dividends, both
denoting the prevailing caution with
which business is being conducted.
Mr. Nash in making public his COM
pany's dividend action said the COM
&any had been accommodating a large
cash surplus to take care OF dividends In
Just such times as the present. He
added that distributors had delivered at
retail more automobiles than they had
"a any week since July of last year. His
belief is that business will go forward
with more genuine activity in the future
than it has for many months past.
AS during previous weeks, the divt-
sions of the industry building and mar
keting the low-priced cars continue to
hold attention. Ford, according to Of
ficials, will go up to $500 cars day on
Monday. This will be the largest volume
50 far reached for model A and the
expectation is that 1t should prevail four
or five months. The Ford people are
now said to calculate their 1880 output
at 100000 units. AT the rate now
scheduled, it is certain to be in excess
of 100000.
Increasing business activity on the
Pacific Coast, in the Middle West and
In New York State have been reported
by william S. Knudsen, president of the
Chevrolet Motor Co., who has been
making a countrywide survey trip. He
notes that increased building permits
were to be, found in many Of the centers
visited which, compared to other years,
gave a positive index to general upward
trend of business. In two or three
months, he said, the depression would
be only memory.

RAIN IN WHEAT BELT.
HELPS CROP OUTLOOK
Eouthwest's Buying Power De.
ponds on Average Yield to
Boost Trade.
Special Dispatch to The star.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 1e.-Mod-
crate moisture over the wheat belt par
ticularly the eastern portion, has buoyed
hopes Of the producers and given cheer
to the business interests of the South
west.
It is considered unlikely that any rec
ord crop will be harvested, but If the
average Is maintained It will go a long
way toward steadying the somewhat
uncertain trade condition Of rural COM
munities. Whether it be from an es-
tablished timidity or because Of the hest
fancy of the buying public, merchants
have little courage to make commit
ments for future delivery, and the pres
ent Spring has seen this tendency more
pronounced than any other in the
Vests history.
This, however, does not apply to agri-
cultural machinery, which Is including
q vast amount Of new implements that
the average farmer seems to think es-
sential. In motor trip over the wheat
combines-in the smaller communities
q half dozen beside the curb, in the
larger centers scores scattered over sew
eral vacant 1ots-asSembled for the
harvest trade. These cost 81 300 to
$4,000 each and are seldom bought
without installment notes.
Apparently the entire Southwest Is
expecting a great tourist trade as the
motoring season opens. Filling stations
continue to blossom in new places, or
every hill and at almost every turn
while tourist camps, with a score OF
cabins each are springing up In ar
abundance that seems sufficient for the
entire population of the Nation.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April 1s.-In three i'm
portant respects the 1880 outlook for
the leading installment finance COM
panies is better than that for the aver
age industrial concern, namely: %
The general business recession, result
ing in widespread unemployment, is in
part Offset by requirements of new
credit customers, who, under normal
conditions. would be cash buyers; CT
the financing business is constantly
being extended to new fields and the
outstanding factors are acquiring new
units; CD relatively low interest rates
have resulted in reduced operating ex-
penses. Rejecting these conditions, as
well as the currently improving trade
situation, the chances are that finance
company earnings, after the initial
quarter, will be maintained at levels at
least on a par with those of last year,
concludes the Standard Statistics Co. of
New York in a current survey.

.ILLINOISAN GUILTY
OF "RADIO ISLANDER"
Words Uttered by Defeated Candi
date in Election Bring Fine
Under New Law.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, April 19.-The verdict in
the case of the State of Illinois against
Fred Broucek was guilty of SANDER by
RADIO
It was the first suit of its kind since
Illinois adopted radio libel law in 1927.
John H. Ehardt, police magistrate ELECT
of Berwyn, a suburb, charged Broucek,
defeated candidate. with uttering SLAM
derous and defamatory remarks In the
campaign.
Broucek offered no defense, but his
counsel presented Harry Levitan, the
sitting justice of the peace, with new
one to ponder over.
Since Broucek made the remarks in
Cicero, how can he be tried in Berwyn?"
the defense counsel queried.
This puzzled Justice Levitan for a
time, but he finally ruled that because
of the ether waves, the damage to
Ehardt's reputation was done in Berwyn
as well as in Cicero and as justice of the
peace in Berwyn he had Jurisdiction.
Broucek was fined $40 and costs. Ehardt
also has filed $780, 900 civil suit against
the defeated candidate.

PARIS, April 19.-The newspaper lie

days Foreign Minister BRAND would
send 26 European states QUESTIONABLE
concerning the proposed European fed
Grafton, which has been called "the
United States of Europe"
The announcement was carried under
the signature of the foreign editor,
Jules Sauerwein, who said the London
Naval Conference had delayed Brands
initiative in sending the QUESTIONABLE,
and added:
But although the European problem
appeared arduous and difficult at Lon
don, there is no reason why we should
fear to confront it, and it is wisdom on
the part of France to place herself at
the head of movement tending to re-
move the European difficulties"
Sauerwein adds that BRAND has a
memorandum ready, but is likely to
submit 1t to the council of ministers
before sending it to the various coun-
tries.

None of the American contingent at
the Naval Conference is exactly home
sick, but the commonest theme OF con-
versation Is the prospective duration Of
the SHOW" When one speaks OF
show" in connection with the parley
there is more in the metaphor than
meets the eye; for to watch the confer
ence is like trying to take in f1ve-
ringed circus at one glance. Under one
Of Mr.. Ringling's big tops the vision Is
correspondingly blurred. SO it Is at
London. AS to how long the confer
ence is going to last, one guess is as
good as ar~'i4vr The French have been
quoted ewing everything will be
over Gpruary IS. M. Tardieu and
his colleagues have a complete monopoly
of such optimism. The washington
conference in 1929 went on for three
months. Compared to the complexities
which will perplex London during the
next few weeks, Washington was almost
child's play. Secretary Stimson's open
ing statement that the American dele
CATION has come to stay till hell freezes
over, or words to that effect, suggests
to most observers a conference continu-
ing until well into the Spring.
x -
No British functionary so far en-
countered by conference participants
arouses more of their interest than the
veteran professional toastmaster. Edwin
Smith. For full generation Smith has
been the power behind the London BAN
quet throne. His sonorous voice ana
,pompous manner lose none of their
charm with the years. At all the gov
eminent dinners for the delegations
Smith has held sway with his gorgeous
court dress and silver rod of post
prandial office in impressive evidence.
The professional POSTMASTER runs the
dinner. He introduces chairman" or
presiding officer, but the latter gets all
his cues from Mr.. Smith. The toast
master stands just behind the presiding
officer. One of his important tasks is to
watch the pace at which a course is
being consumed at the speakers table
and signal when it's time to bring on
the next. "Your excellencies, my lords
and gentlemen" boon1S Smith just be-
fore he introduces speaker, pray
silence for the right honorable the noble
Marquis of So-and-So." The noble
marquis arises. "I give you the toast
Of his majesty the King" says the noble
marquis solemnly. Then quoth Smith:
your excellencies, my lords and gentle
men, pray charge your glasses for his
most excellent majesty the King" THE
King, the Kingl" respond the banquet
GERS as they raise their charged" glasses.
Half a dozen times in the course Of
feast Toastmaster Smith repeats his
ritual. The "excellencies" are foreign
Ambassadors and British cabinet min
listers, my lords" are British peers, and
gentlemen" are just the rest of US.
1t is all very dignified and interesting
business.
