The Washington times., 1932-06-18
By ELSIE ROBINSON


Terror poured itself into
Washington yesterday.
Dragged its soundless hor-
ror through the lovely aven-
Sprawled it's cold shadow
across the flower filled
parks
Crawled and slithered around
the stately mansions
Oozed across the guarded
threshold of the White
House
Wrapt it's icy coils, tight
and tighter, about, the Capitol
itself.
Terror, of a kind it has
never known before, gripped
Washington.
And then, a wonder incredible
never to be forgotten!
The Capitol-velvety acres be-
fore it, dark trees massed against
q fragile sky. Vast, white steps
rising tier upon tier, endleSSly,
up and up and up to the proud,
pillared portico.
Darkened Groups
All cleaning white and flash
ing gold and glimmering blue,
that splendid scene. But, small
darkness began to trickle and
gather and clot upon the face
of that radiance.
A darkness of men
Ragged men, their ribs pro-
truding through their tattered
shirts
Limping men, their SCARED
feet Shuffling in broken shoes
Desperate men, with eyes curl
ously blank. as though they had
seen too much agony to register
anything, ever again.
THE BONUS MARCHERS
WE'RE ON THE MOVE.
THEY WERE COMING UP TO
THE CAPITOL TO HEAR WHAT
THE SENATE VOTED ABOUT
THEIR BILL.
Coming up by ones and twoS, in
groups and squads-in hundreds
and thousands, out of the gar
bage dumps and Uttered wastes
where grateful nation has
housed them for the last two
weeks.
Coming very quietly, looking
neither to right nor left.
BUT THE TERROR SPREAD
AS THEY CAME.
What would they do, these
men with the long, sloughing
stride, the battered, fighting
faces? What frightfulness would
happen when they heard-as hear
they must-that the Senators had
beaten their bill?
The Commander!
Eight o'clock. Very dark now.
Arc lights on, with the waiting
faces green disks beneath them.
Booming flash lights. Cracking
silence. Some one started the
Marine Band to playing, ner-
VouSly.
And now
The police are beginning to
close in, down all the corridors,
are moving up and down the
boulevard But none of them
are in with the men. In one
great block of darkness they sit
alone. Above them, the brilliant
arcs turning its crimson into
bars of blood floats their great
flag.
And now
There is a sudden movement
under the portico. The crowd Of
waiting reporters and spectators
parts, and a man hurries through.
Standing beneath the flag, face
gutted with fatigue. the young
commander waits. So briefly it

No Turning Back
The men are still full of cour-
age and the morale is excellent,
the statement said. In addition,
it read:
THE men are determined to
remain in Washington, and the
fact that they have conducted
themselves in such a peaceful
and law-abiding manner should
impress the country that they
are not going to turn back
now"

Police today will continue to
have trucks available for trans
portation of men who want to
leave the city. Despite the defeat
of the bonus bill, fewer men ap-
peared at headquarters seeking
transportation toward their homes.

BALTIMORE. January 16-The ex-
tension and improvement of the ap-
proximately $500 miles of State roads
in Maryland called for the expenditure
of over Sl4000,000 during the year 1881,
according 10 H. D. Williar, jr., chief
engineer Of the State Roads Commis-
sion.
Some of the s14,0O0,0O0 was spent for
new construction of roads, some for
the improvement of roads already laid,
and part was used for the bridge pro-
gram which includes the work done on
the elimination of grade crossings.
New roads laid down include 1872
miles in concrete, 81 miles IN gravel, 81
miles in macadam and miles In sheet
asphalt. In addition to this new con-
struction work, about 1872 miles of ma
cadam roads and 159 miles of gravel
roads were surface treated, while over
73 miles of highway were widened by
the addition of concrete shoulders in
addition to the resurfacing.
The principal expense in the bridge
program was the construction Of a
bridge 1,016 feet long over the Nan
ticoke River. at Vienna. The span. Of
reinforced concrete -girder type, sup
ported on concrete piles, was construct
ed at the cost of approximately
$500, ,000 In addition to this main pro-
ject, contracts for the elimination Of
IS grades, all on main rail lines, were
awarded. -Four grade elimination struc-
lures already in use were replaced
owing to increasing traffic requirements.

aged to retain much of their individual
ity while at the same time yielding TO
the general trends. All of the cars are
lower. accounted for in one case by the
adoption of worm drive while in an
other by adding banjo type of frame
with the axle ends running through the
channels of the latter.
Superchargers Used.
Supercharging made It's appearance
on an air-cooled car, marking the first
time this feature has been standard
equipment. The charging is of the low
pressure type and is a by-product Of
the turbine fan which blows air over
the motor at the rate of 10 miles
minute. Dual ratio is a revival of q
two-speed axle idea used in the earlier
days. With this a driver can change
his car from a high geared one to a
low geared type, providing adaptability
for motoring in any part of the Coun-
try. Six forward speeds are thus avail
able.
Ride regulation has swept the motor
world, although not all of 1t Is of the
manual type. Several of the leading
makes featured shock absorbers which
regulate themselves automatically by
means of thermostats. 1t is no longer
necessary to sacrifice riding comfort If
the car happens to be running over
different kinds of road surfaces, at diff
ferent speeds, with different loads and
at different temperatures
Intake vacuum was something no
visitor could see, but it will play one Of
the most important roles in making the
1882 cars do unusual things when they
get into service. On one car 1t regulates
the spark On several others it boosts
braking action. Quite number of cars
use it to operate the clutch automat-
ically. In dual ratio it is utilized to
make the shifts Of the dog clutch in
the rear axle.
Brand New Car.
One brand-new car has thrown its
hat into the ring-a six with famous
name and the backing Of one of the
strongest of the independents At the
same time one of the best known makes
passed from the picture, becoming the
Weight version of its running-mate.
There was a smaller version of a high
class car end one of the popular priced
jobs IS now a six only. One popular
make is offered in either six of eight
cylinder form on the single chassis.
Believe it, or wait until you can see 1t
in Washington for yourself, the thirty
second annual national exhibition
opened Is by far the greatest of long
line. Great because it proves that auto
mobiles are never satisfied with "perfec-
ton" Great because it left no room
for doubling that the silver lining for
troubled world has arrived on the
winged radiator cap of remarkable
new era in transportation.

DRIVER FREED DESPITE
PLEA OF MANSLAUGHTER
Baltimore County Judge Finds
Evidence Against Man
insufficient.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, January 16.-An un-
usual case of a Judge ordering a mo-
torist dismissed after he had pleaded
guilty to a charge Of manslaughter was
enacted in the Baltimore County Court
at Towson this week.
The plea of guilty was made by
Andrew Gargol to manslaughter
charge and was ordered stricken out
by Judge C. Gus GraSon. The juriSt
then found the man not guilty and
freed him.
Gargol had been arrested after an
automobile accident on November /,
when he had struck 12year-old boy
who was riding a bicycle. The boy
died later and Gargol pleaded guilty to
the manslaughter charge on the ad-
vice of his attorney.
Gargol made his plea Of guilty at
the trial court. Despite the plea,
Judge GraSon heard the evidence In
the case and postponed sentence until
yesterday.
In ordering that the plea be struck
out, Judge Grason said that he did
not believe evidence against the man
was sufficient. He added that he be-
lieved GargolS story that he had been
blinded by the lights Of an approach
ing automobile at the time Of the
accident.
In ordering that the plea be struck
out, Judge Grason said that the prac-
tice Of pleading guilty to such charges,
as illustrated in the Gargol case, was
dangerous. He pointed out that Gar
gol, who is foreign born, was not
familiar with legal procedure and per-
haps did not entirely understand the
case.
Gargol had been indicted by the
grand jury on the charge previous to
making his plea of guilty in court.

OPPOSITION TO TAX
VOICED BY A. NJ. A.
Proposed Government Levy
Held an Unfair Burden
on Motorists.

Opposition to the Federal Govern
ments proposed imposition of s per
cent sales tax on automobiles was
voiced last week by the Legislative
Committee of the American Motorists
Association, which includes In its mem
bership some of the largest automobile
clubs in the United States.
Result of Tax.
Imposition of such a tax as that
proposed by the Treasury Department
providing sales tax of per cent on
passenger cars, 8 per cent on trucks
and 212 per cent on repair parts and
accessories would add more than $780,
100000 annually to the cost of automo-
biles purchased by the American
public" declares Thomas j. Keefe, gen.
eral manager of the A. M. A., In voicing
that organizations opposition to the
proposal.
"The motorists Of the country are not
unmindful of the fact that the Treasury
Department is faced with the necessity
of increasing the Federal Governments
revenue Largely because of this knowl-
edge, the motorists have complacently
scquiesced in the imposition of gasoline
taxes which during 1881 totaled more
than half billion dollars.
Registration fees, personal property,
State municipal and gasoline taxes
paid by the motorists of the United
States during 1881 will aggregate ap-
proximately $1,000, 100000 To increase
this sum by the imposition Of the pro-
posed sales tax, which would amount
to 5000, 100000, means an increase of
approximately II per cent in the tax
burden of the motorists of the coun-
try" Mr.. Keefe points out.
Highway Benefits.
THE construction and maintenance
of the highways of the country have
added incaleulably to the wealth OF
the Nation and has benefited every one,
whether motorists or not. The motorist
made possible our highway system. He
personally has paid for 1t. He Is main
tanning 1t at his own expense, with
surplus which in many States Is being
diverted to other governmental pur-
poses. He is unalterably opposed to
increasing the tax burden and seeing
that increase go toward the mainte-
nance of governmental bureaus other
than highway projects" the A. M. A.
statement concludes.

posed to, and after accepting, will not
be taken unaware by the automobile
salesman who is thinking more of his
technique than of the product. When
a shrewd gentleman proposes he does
not outline his own features but tells
her how lovely she is and how he hopes
he can make himself worthy of her.
That usually captures the lady's fancy.
Likewise, the salesman who wants to
unload car does not enumerate its
high points, but instead tells his fair
prospect what society leader she Is
and why she deserves the finest car
any manufacturer can produce.
Watch this male siren, ladies'! Re-
member you are still the psychologist.
Shop for the car you feel you need and
let the salesman inform and guide
without proposing.
Usually a quicker start can be had
by beginning in low and shifting
straight through to high than to start in
second. With some cars a little prac-
tise is needed to make the low to high
direct shift.

introduction of new cars during recent
weeks Is making itself felt not only in
the New York show but elsewhere, was
indicated in a wire survey made by the
Hudson Essex organization. The COM
pany received wires from As cities re-
porting that showroom attendance and
sales had been greater than for two
years.
In the first days showing Hudson
Essex dealers In New York reported
81 900 persons in show rooms and the
sale of 1875 cars. Boston had $4,000
visitors and Sc cars were sold. In
Washington 1000 persons were reported
as viewing the cars and IA cars were
sold. From Detroit the report was
$4,000 persons, with Al orders taken
and 28 new cars delivered.
Coverage Of Report.
The report covered 124 stores out of
978 where cars were shown. The or
ders taken totaled $50, with an attend
ance of 10000.
The situation throughout the country
also has been subject Of an analysis
by the Chrysler corporation. John w.
ScoviIle. statistician, released it this
week Pointing out that production for
the first time has declined for two sue
cessive years, Mr.. Scoville finds that the
output in North America in 1881 was
80 per cent below that of 1880, which
in turn was 37l2 per cent below the
record production of 1929.
He shows that the number of pas
senger cars in this country declined
from 81 1876, 900 at the close of 1929 to
20,327,0O0 at the close of 1881, de-
crease of only per cent.
This Decline" it is stated, docs not
adequately measure the loss of trans
portation equipment in the hands Of the
public We have more cars over 2
years old than we had at the close of
1929, but we have many fewer cars
under years of age than at the close
Of 1929.
1.-TWO years ago we had high pro-
portion of young cars filled with unused
mileage. Today we have old cars from
which the mileage coupons have been
pretty we'll clipped.
Increased Output Favored.
while automobile sales move up or
down with general business, there are
forces within the industry that should
favor increased output in 1882"
These Mr.. Scoville cited as the grow
ing obsolescence of cars, the smaller
number of them and the relative scar
city of good used cars. He concludes
that an increase of 20 per cent in auto
mobile output this year will occasion no
surprise, and there is no reason for
changing an estimate made last year
that In the decade ending with 1910
automobile production in the United
States will be more than 45,000,000.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 16-Your
present car is as smart as a linen
duster and as mechanically modern as
a hand crank.
That's what the American manufac-
turers said in no uncertain terms
today when they unveiled nearly
300 startlingly new model at the
motor industry's Thirty-second Annual
National Automobile Show, which
opened its doors to a highly expectant
public at Grand Central Palace. In
their 1882 form the 80 makes of pas
senger cars mark the greatest depart
ure from conventional practice ever
seen at an American motor exhibit.
Strangers to Innovations.
Thousands came to the Palace total
strangers to such innovations as auto
matte starting, no-f1ex frames, ride reg
ulation, silence engineering, clutch con-
troll, floating power, and discovered that
these have become as common as fly
wheels and spring shackles. Even the
wiseacre who thought he had peeped
under the tent of the big show got the
jolt of his motoring career when he
found himself gazing at supercharging,
dual ratio, aSymmetrical fans and Ave
beam headlight control.
While there were two V-sixteens, six
V-tWelves and stepping up of power all
down the line, the most significant me-
chanical trend was found in the new
opportunity to utilize power through
the combination of automatic clutch
control, synchromesh transmissions, 81
lent second gearing and dual ratio.
With these aids the motorist of 1882
would have been able to obtain un-
usual performance effects, even had
there been no actual motor power in
crease through higher compression,
special manifolding, improved pistons
and new tricks in fabrication. Free
wheeling is almost universal. but many
Of the manufacturers offer it distinctly
as a means to an end. That end is
easier and quicker selection of gears.
Two Features Hailed.
Two detailed features that were hailed
with enthusiasm were the constant
speed windshield wiper and the various
provisions for checking vapor "loek."
Those who know automobiles only by
the externals felt that they had been
invited to feast for the eye. Innova-
tions were found on every car, from
the single baby" to the. dozen or so
giants" but trends were mixed The
"air-eurve" or "air-foil" body, as one
maker calls it, was everywhere In evi-
dence, but not all makers have gone to
the slanting, pointed radiator. One of
the largest makers lines still follow the
boat" type Of body, while another has
gene in for an unusual combination of
"squaring" and "teardrop" design
While the cars have the appearance of
being designed to lessen wind resist
ance, the trend Is largely pseudo"
since real efforts In this direction in
volve the rear end more than the from
tai appearance.
Unique was one job which revealed q
