TIMORE

Chevrolet Motor Company an
nounced last week that site had
been selected in Baltimore on Broen-
ing Highway, directly across from
Camp Holabird, for the erection of a
new assembly plant. All agree
ments for the erection of the new
plant have been reached, including
the paving of a strip of ground from
Holabird avenue, which the mayor
and the city council have agreed to-
pave and maintain as city street.
Construction will proceed at once
on the new project, according to a
statement issued by NJ, E. Coyle,
president of Chevrolet.
The new plant will have an an
nual capacity of approximately So
900 cars and trucks and will be-
similar in type of operations to the
nine assembly plants now owned by
Chevrolet 1t is proposed to erect
Fisher Body plant adjacent to the
Chevrolet assembly plant where
closed bodies will be built and con-
veyed to the assembly line in the
main plant.
The proposed plants will employ
approximately 1900 men and will
supplement the present facilities of
the Tarrytown, N. T., Buffalo, N. Y,
Norwood, Ohio, and Atlanta, Ca, as
sembly plants.
The demand for Chevrolet cars
and trucks in the densely populated
areas along the Atlantic seaboard
makes it necessary for the company
to provide additional assembly facil-
tiles.
Plans are now being prepared ty

FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINS
TRATION PROJECT

Americans who live in small COM
munities and on farms should bene-
fit as much as the city jewellers from
the determination Credit Plan of the
Federal Housing Administration,
under provisions of the National
Housing Act as proposed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, enacted by Congress
and put into operation by Admins
traitor. James A. Moffett.
Success of the Modernization Pro-
gram is believed by Mr.. Moffett to
depend fully as much upon the re-
Spouse and cooperation of the farm
er and the citizen of the small COM
munity as upon those who live in
metropolitan areas.
At least, the need on the farm for
repairs, alterations and improve
ments is as great as in the city, as
indicated by a current Farm Hous-
ing Survey Of the Department Of Az

The new sinplified operating rec-
ord, according to w. E. Fish, mans

department, is especially well de-
signed to fit the needs Of individual
operators of small fleets of trucks.
The system provides the owner
with small record book, one for

each days record (to be filled in by
the driver) and monthly summary
sheet on which the daily entries are
totaled. Comparison of the sum-
maries at the end of the month will
give definite figure ON the relative

The record not only informs the
operator what his feet operation is
costing him, but enables him to
judge the comparative merits of his

with the Code, shows him the COM

ing expenses, and if salesmen-drivers

LIQUOR TAX FIGHT
AWAITS CONGRESS
SIashes in Levy and Duty
Sought to Eliminate
BootIegger.

Copyright, 1884 by the Associated Press.)
Slashes in Federal liquor taxes and
import duties to eliminate the boot
logger will be proposed in the next
Congress by a group of Representa-
tives who led the repeal fight.
The fact that the Treasury has not
reaped the harvest of revnue expected
from liquor sales and the continuance
of large-scale bootlegging prompted
the move.
Tariff Cut Proposed.
Proposals to restore the old domestic
rate of $110 a gallon on 100 proof
liquor, and to slice the SIS a gallon
tariff by so per cent are being con-
sidered by experts attached to the
HOUSE Ways and Means Committee.
Secretary Morgenthau has indicated
he is opposed at present to any re-
duction in the existing 50 domestic
tax. He is seeking to kill the illicit
traffic by a large force of internal
revenue agents.
Developments Awaited.
The Representatives plan to await
developments in Morgenthau's cam
paign If it is successful between now
and January l, they may delay their
drive for lower taxes. Should he fail,
the leaders say they will push for a
reduction.
They point to the recommendation
of j. H. Choate, jr., director of the
Alcohol Control Administration, who
said the bootlegger could be elimi-
mated by lowering imposts.

GANG GIRL s STORY
DAMAGING To MATS
Mrs. Fontaine Testifies She
Heard Story of Get
away.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, August 29.-Mrs.
Leonora GosSlyn Fontaine, girl friend
of the slain Big George" Philips,
leader of the Tri-State gang, today
Upper Darby, Pa.
She was testifying in the trial of
MaiS for the gangland murder of
E. H. Huband, Federal Reserve truck
driver, killed in a robbery here
March 8.
Her testimony was given by the
French-Canadian woman in response
to questions by Commonwealth's At
torney T. Gray Haddon, who sought
to prove she had not seen or talked
with Arthur Dutch" Misunas re-
garding her testimony. Misunas has
confessed participation in the robbery
and is State witness.
Heard Mais' Description.
Mrs. Fontaine said she had over
heard Mais describe the getaway
from Richmond on the night of the
hold-up to Marie McKeever, friend
of MaiS, in their Washington apart
ment, where she was staying after
Philips was shot by Washington police.
She said she later went to Upper
Darby and there she was shot by
Mais Previously she had told police
she was shot because she knew too
much" about the gangs activities.
The Mais trial has progressed
slowly in comparison with the trial of
week ago, which was completed in
IT consecutive hours. The prosecution
rested its case at 12:45 o'clock this
afternoon.
The States evidence was practically
the same as that of the Legenza trial,
with the exception that in the pre-
vious trial it sought to prove that
Legenza was the trigger man. In this
trial the State has emphasized the
point that participation in highway
robbery is punishable to the same de-
gree as is murder.
The session which started early yes
terday produced its exciting moments
principally in riffs between defense
counsel and the judge. One of these
resulted in a motion for a mistrial,
which was promptly overruled by
Judge John L. Ingram, who had Sc
verely reprimanded Counsellor M.
Haley Shelton for a statement in
which he said on cross-examination
he was privileged to state false mat
ter.
Moves for Mistrial.
Shelton again moved for a miStrial
when Arthur Misunas, an admitted
member of the tri-State gang and
participant in the hold-up on March
s, testified that Mais had been with
him on another LOB" after the court
specifically instructed him not to men
ton the accused in relation to any
crime not included in the indictment.
The court again overruled the mo-
ton and told the jury to disregard
MiSunaS' reference to MaiS.
MiSunas has pleaded guilty to par
in the robbery, and has teS-
titled he carried the machine gun in
the take" which resulted in Huband's
death, and loot of cancelled checks.
He testified also that Mais was one
of five in the "Stick-up" and that
fired the shot that killed
Huband.

A picture of the United States
emerging from the depression more
rapidly than any other nation, with
farm prices within per cent of the
famous 'pre-war parity" which the
administration has been striving to
reach, was presented to President
Roosevelt today by Donald R. Rich
berg, N. r. A. counsel.
Richberg's report followed radio
broadcast last night, in which he
made strong defense of the N. R. A,
but made no mention of the row last
week with Gen. Hugh S. Johnson,
N. r. A. chief, which resulted in the
latter's resignation and later recon-
sideration at the urgent request of the
President with the understanding that
he was to be the boss at N. r. A.

issued a statement declaring that

disregarded facts in attacking a report
to the President by Richberg that
wide gains had been made under the
recovery drive.
Both Byrns' statement and copies
of Richberg's radio address were dis
tributed by the Democratic National
Committee.
Richberg, in his latest report to the
President, made plain that his figures
include benefit payments received by
farmers through the A. A. A. He also
stressed that the drought slashed
some of the major crops and there
fore the high prices do not mean
fully corresponding increase in farm
income"
He warned that for complete farm

The report also declared:

likely to exceed 1888 by about 10 per
