Plymouth Listing
Orders in Advance

Detroit, Mich, Aug. g. Registra-
tions of Chrysler Corporations new
Plymouth exceeded all other makes Of
cars registered in Wayne county,
Michigan, during the month OF July.
This is the first time in recent years
that retail sales of any automobile Ii
the Detroit area have surpassed the
sales of either Fords or Chevrolets IN
this county, which is recognized as
the capital Of the motor world.
July registration figures compiled
by the state License Bureau show that
sales of Plymouths totaled 1.249 as
against 1903 Fords and $50 Chevro-
lets. The Plymouth figures are for a
little more than three weeks, mas
much as the new car was not an
nounced until July 9Th.
Commenting on these figures Wal
ter p. Chrysler said: "The fact that
the new Plymouth took the leader
ship in July in the sales Of all auto
mobiles in Wayne county, where au-
tomobile values are subject to per-
hapS the most scrutinizing test in the
world, indicate in our judgment the
pubilc's response generally to the de-
velopment of something really new In
automobiles. It is evident from re-
ports from other parts of the country
in terms of actual sales and forward
orders from Chrysler, Dodge and De
Soto, dealers that Floating Power, the
new principle of engine mounting
embodied in this first vibrationless
four which has ever been built, is
meeting a long felt requirement on
the part of the public for greater
comfort than has heretofore been
available in an automibile in the low
est price class. Not only has produc-
ton for July exceeded our estimates
for that month. but we are carrying
into August more than 5000 untitled
orders for July shipment"

STRICT REGULATION
OF CARRIERS URGED
WoodIoCk Tells u. S. c. of c.
Special Taxation Needed
on Highway Users.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., April %
Special taxation and strict regulation
Of these using highways for common
carrier service was urged by Thomas F.
Woodiock, former member OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission, today
at meeting of the transportation and
communication department of the
United States Chamber of Commerce.
The railroad. he said, Is fairly en-
titled to protect its own business by
meeting such competition as 1t can
economically meet. Regulatory policy
would recognize this as principle and
modify regulatory practice so Tar as IS
necessary to give effect to the principle
He said that 1T seems not unreason-
able for those who use highways Tor
common carrier service and protit
should pay special tax for that privi-
lsge in addition to paying their fuII
share of maintenance costs"
Discussing waterways, Woodlock said
he saw no likelihood that water-borne
transportation will ever be required 10
bear the costs of maintenance channels.
Intercaastal shipping, Woodlock said,
is being operated at loss since diSSolu-
ticn of the intercCaStal conference, and
he believed that the Panama Canal
should be fitted into the countrys
transportation system through rcgula-
ton of rates.
Railroads, he said, should be free to
make use Of the air waen, as and If
they find it can be co-ordinated uSefully
and economically with thair own ser
vice. BY co-ordinated. he said, he
meant a feeding into and out Of rail-
road service in such a way as to pro-
tact or increase service and revenues.
Pipe lines. he said, constitute 2 serious
threat to railroads, and suggested that
the right 10 purchase or build pip2
lines as feeders might be valuable.
