CUT
UPKEEP COST
Of MOTORS
J. LEO SUGRUE,
Times Automobile Editor

It is no myth nor is it base
less sales talk when the 1880 au
toomobile today is described as
one that will cost less for main
tenance. When the salesman
makes this point, he will not be
nonplussed should the prospect
suddenly turn on him with the
oftenGimes devastating question:
"How's it done?"
There have been some factors
or maintenance cost that have
been fairly common problems to
many car makers. On these a
concerted attack has been made.
The 1880 models in most cases
mark the success of those engi-
neering onSlaughtS.
Almost any feature of the auto
mobile might be used as illustra
ting this point. Brakes, for in
stance. Now brakes have been
steadily improved during the past
few years, but the problem of
drum scoring has remained to
vex those who applied their sci
ence to cutting upkeep costs In
the latest automobiles, one finds
the effort to overcome this diff
Guilty taking the form of better
brake cooling, larger drums, and
more effective distribution of stop
ping force. That does not neceS-
sairly mean that buyers of 1880
cars never will have to worry
over paying a bill for reshaping
or replacement of brake drums,
but it does mean that such bills
will be far less common than in
the case of owners who gave
their cars good maintenance.

The car that is not fitted with

HEFL|N CANDIDACY
 GETS ENDORSEMENT
Two Others, Also Barred by
 State Committee Named

Birmingham, Ala. July P- Senator J. Thoms Hef1in's indepen- dent campaign for reelection took definite form today with his align ment with candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, who like wise were barred from running in the democratic primary because of their opposition to the party presl- dential nominee in 1928.
 A state wide independence day mass meeting endorsed Hefin, Hugh A. Locke for governor and Dempsey Powell of Greenvllle for lieutenant governor. Resolutions urged Hef1in supporters not to participate in the August l democratic primary. The party executive committee has de- creed that all may vote despite their stand in 1928. but only supporters of the fast national ticket may run as candidates.
 All speakers disclaimed any idea of forming third party in the state, but declared a house cleaning was necessary and that they sought "to rescue the party from tyranny and oppression" by the state executive committee.

COURT REFUSES BILLINGS PARDON
Preparedness Day Prisoner Must k Spend Life in Jail

Los Angeles, July CUP)-War- , ren K. Billings faced the realization today that he must spend the rest of his life in. Folsom prison, but Tom Mooney, in San Quentin, still hopes q conference Gov. C. C. Young will hold tomorrow may bring him a pardon.
 Billings fate was sealed by the state supreme court in refusing to recommend that the governor act on his application. Mooney. convicted with Billings Of murder in connec- ton with the 1916 preparedness day bombing in San Francisco, still may be pardoned under the law by the governor.
 Young, however, has stated he would be guided in the Mooney case largely by the courts action on Billings.
 Billings, a ''tWo-time" loser, was allowed by law to seek a pardon only through the supreme court, which recommended its denial. Mooney, serving his first term, could appeal directly to the governor.
 Six Justices Concur
 Six Of the seven supreme court justices Concurred in the opinion. The seventh, ". H. Langdon. said the court opinion was so overw helm ingly against him he saw no reason to state his basis for dissenting.
 A majority report signed by Chief Justice William H. Waste and Asso. ciate Justices Emmet Seaweli. John E. Richards and Jesse W. Curtis, held in effect that if Billings was not guilty of the bombing he had failed 10 reveal this knowledge. Further more, they held, Billings pardon ap- plication made no effort to establish his innocence in the crime. but sought merely to show irregularities in the manner in which he was con- victed.
 We are not sufficiently convinced Of his innocence 10 recommend that your cNcellency act on his appeal" the courts message read.

 Newark showed further improve ment and took two games ffom Jersey City. Fine relief pitching By Jess Petty enabled the Bears to win the opener, 6-3.

He held the enemy to one hit over the last three innings while Newark was pounding Bream and Hopkins for three runs in the seventh and another in the eighth, Robbie Stevens, Newark shortstop, hit his first home run of the year ir the eighth inning of the secon game to give the Bears 4-3 trl= umph.
