LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan. 12- Arkansas is holding an election to- day to select a United States Sen- ator to fill the unexpired term oi the late Senator Thaddeus H. Car away. It is generally conceded that his widow, Senator Hattie Caraway will be elected. She is now serving under appointment from Gov. Har- vey Parnell and was nominated by the Democratic State Central Com mittee. Women from all over the State have campaigned for her.
 Gov. Parnsn is regarded as the probable Democratic nominee for the Senatorial election next fall. It is understood that Mrs. Caraway will not be a candidate for the new term after the expiration of the term of her late husband. The Democratic nomination is equivalent of election.

Congress Eyeing Farm Aspect of Shoals; Operation As Aid
 to Agriculture Being Studied
By FRANK. I. WELLER

By FRANK. I. WELLER Associated Press Farm Editor)
 WASHINGTON, ID. O., Jan. 12.- If Muscle Shoals, that 13-year old firebrand of national legislation, ultimately is to be devoted to the interests of agriculture the stage would seem to be about as wen set for that purpose as it has been at any time in the last decade. Representative Quinn of Missis- sippi, new Chairman of the Demo- cratic controlled House Military Committee, has made disposition of the governments wartime power and nitrate plants along the Ten nessee river in Alabama the first item of business.
 Hoover Act Quickly
 With a similar show of speed President Hoover has transmitted to Congress the recommendation of the joint federal l-state Muscle Shoals Commission that the prop erty be operated, preferably by a farmer owned farmer controlled corporation, for the low cost com mercial production of fertilizer.
 Inferentially, the Administration is behind the plan. The Commis- f sion which was to whip Federal and state views into accord while Congress was in recess was organ ized at the instigation of the White House.
 It stands four square for private operation under lease as against the consistently vetoed federal op- eration schemes of the past. Administration forces in the house of the last Congress fought stubbornly for private operation of the nitrate plants for capacity pro- duction of fertilizer, fertilizer in- gradients and other chemical and electro-chemical products. They agree the Government might keep control of the power plants so long as the lessee had prior right to buy all the energy required by the nitrate plants. It was an effort to take the pow CT question out of the Muscle Shoals muddle and more or less a compromise with Senate supporters of the Norris resolution for govern ment operation.
 The joint commission plan has rather generous support of organ ized agriculture which sees greater benefit in low cost fertilizer than in low cost power transmission. Chairman Quinn says his com mittee plans to take up much the same proposal vetoed by President Hoover last year, but will work in- to it whatever it chooses of the Joint Commission recommenda- tions.
 Alternative Possible
 Observers believe that means ul- innate promulgation of a bill de- voting Muscle Shoals principally to the manufacture of fertilizer with the provision that if the President is unable to make a satisfactory lease to private interests within stipulated time the Government automatically shall undertake the job of operating both the power and nitrate plants in the interest of agriculture.

with rubber at cents, 1t can't go

we can have a f1uctuation of 10 cents

"It Is not at all unlikely that the
British and the Dutch will get together
within the next 30 days on a restriction
plan based ON the principle Of a special
tax on crude rubber exports. That
seems to be the only feasible way for
them to raise the tax revenue they need

ECONOMY LIGHT MADE
FOR PARKED AUTOS
Auxiliary Reflex Lenses Are Now
on Many of the
1882 Cars.

Safety commissioners reports snow
that an important portion Of the accl-
dents on highways and StreetS are e
caused by parking without nghts ana
by tail light failure on moving Vehlcles.
Such accidents, many Of them fatal,
It is admitted, would be greatly reduceo
if not almost entirely eliminated by use
of auxiliary rear light signals, Whlcn
are unaffected by the vagaries OF the
cars electric lighting system.
More than 1913 900 automobiles are
parked every night throughout Man
haitian, Brooklyn and the Bronx. Ot
these cars 102, ,679 are parked all night
without lights, according to survey
bv the New York Board Of Trade. A
total of 1866 taxicabs also are parked
all night without lights in the three
boroughs.
Reasons for inoperation Of parking
lights are ascribed to forgetfulness, TO
failure of the bulbs or lighting system,
and to economy.
Safety proponents in several States,
deploring the common hazard OF un-
lighted parked cars and especially fall
ure Of electrically lighted tail lights on
moving cars. have already had laws en-
acted requiring use Of an auxiliary re-
fieX lens on the rear Of all vehicles as q
remedy for the evil. Practically all OF

TEAR-DROP DESIGN
NOT YET PRACTICAL
Use Held of Value Only at
High Speeds, Says
Motor Leader.

Although 1t has lately been the sub
ject Of great deal Of discussion in the
automotive industry, general adoption
Of genuine tear-drop design Is still a
matter Of the future, according to
George M. Graham, vice president In
charge of sales Of Rockne Motors Cor
poration. Instead body builders will
employ less radical streamlining de-
signs Mr.. Graham believes.
1.-THE motor world has seen two or
three examples Of tear-drop building"
states Mr.. Graham. II believe the
only examples of this building in stock
cars are found in Europe, and don't
believe they have been very successful.
THE true value Of tear-drop design
comes after a car has passed into the
terriflcally high speeds above 100 miles
an hour When such velocities are
attained, streamlining Is of the utmost
Importance. Yet the only tear drop
stock models we know Of now are small
cars with top speeds around so miles
an hour.
"Tear-drop design win come some
time, but 1t seems far off now. There
are several definite obstacles in the
way The first and most important Is

BETTER BUSINESS
SEEN BY TIRE HEAD
Decided Improvement Proph-
esied by William 0'NeiI
of General Company.

when I am asked to prophesy about
the tire business during the coming
year, I realize that prophets have
neither profit nor honor in any coun-
try, just now," said William O'Neil,
president of the General Tire and Rub
ber Co., today, in discussing the condi-
ton of business at the year end and
the outlook for the new year.
Along with the economists who did
not foresee the end of the boom and
who have foretold the end of the de-
preston, most other men who have been
prophesying and getting into print have
been proved to be wrong" Mr.. ONeil
added.
Il believe that 1882 will be decided
improvement on 1881 for business gen.
orally. I believe SO for these reasons:
First, because more people need
more merchandise now than they did a
year ago because they have been doing
without things that they actually
needed and their is a limit to the extent
to which they can do this.
Big Improvement Seen.
Then. there has been a decided i'm
prov nent in many different lines Of
merchandise. There are new styles in
Evening star., 1932-01-31

automobiles, with distinctly new fea-
lures. In the tire industry there are
new features. This will mean an in
crease irs business next year.
For another thing, all commodities
are on an extremely low base. Buyers
always hesitate on declining market
for they are always looking for some
thing better in the way Of price.
1T is certain that commodities cam
not decline farther than they are to-
day, nor can they remain long at the
present level. So, we have the style
factor, the price factor and the demand
factor all In our favor. ALI OF these
things enter into business.
Now, as to the financial factor.
Most credit Is based on earning power.
Most values are based on the same
thing. The coming into the market OF
people who actually need merchandise,
because of price, style or necessity, in
creases the earning power Of those per-
sons who are unemployed today. Earn
ing power helps to stabilize credit situa-
tions.
inventories at Low Ebb.
"I do not know, of course what tire
prices will do next year. Certainly they
can't go lower than they are. Whether
they will rise, or when, do not know.
However, I have never seen real
price raise as long as there was plenty
of merchandise to be had. Nor have
ever known of price raise to material
ize, If 1t was known three months ahead
of time that 1t was going to happen.
1T is a fact that inventories Of fin
ished goods are lower now than at any
time since 1921 but, on the other hand
demand for tires Is lower than at any
time since 1925. They tend to offset
each other, of course.
Raw material prices certainly can't
60 much lower than they are now. We
have scent rubber and scent cotton.
Rubber can't go below cents and stay

the rear Of the car. That Is a diff
cult engineering feat and will only be
satisfactorily accomplished after long
study. 1t means a complete revolution
Of chassis building. BY the same token
1t also requires an entirely different
handling Of body. When our high
cruising speeds remain around TO miles
an hour we dc not need the precise
streamlining which tear-drcp design
gives"
Streamlining is one Of the most in
teresting studies in automobile design,
according to Mr.. Graham.
THE airplane industry has given us
much interesting data on streamlin-
ing" he says. "Al Of the things aero
engineers learn In their wind tunnels
are of vital importance to the auto
mobile manufacturer. 1t is surprising
how little cowling here, a little fair
ing there or an aerodynamic touch
somewhere else will add to the speed
Of an automobile.
"Of course, streamlining has only a
minor effect when our cars are travel
ing at speeds of 40 or so miles an hour.
However, aerodynamic streamlining
gives an ultra modern appearance to a
car, and is quite worthwhile, even when
driving speeds are low"
