AUTO INDUSTRY
SWAMPED BY
BUYING WAVE
Car Sales Exceed Outputs
First Time in 5 Years
Survey Shows.
Copyright. 1884. by United Press

NCOpIElEut. 1907 ny CAltCO EAcSel
By United Press
DETROIT, Jan. 24.-Steadily ris-
ing tides of new car buying today
caught the automobile industry I'M
prepared to meet the pubhc's de-
mand for S250,O00,000 worth of cars
this month.
AS a result, the industry found
itself swamped under flood of
dealer and individual orders. A
United Press survey revealed that
for the first time in five years the
industry is selling cars faster than
it can produce them.
Large corporations and the
smaller companies alike reported
orders ranging as high as Sc
per cent above expectations. In
some instances the number Of I'M
filled orders exceeded those of the
peak years of 1923 and 1929.
Three Reasons Given
Automotive leaders gave three
reasons as the cause of the in
dustrys inability to meet the de-
mand. They were:
/. The surprising number of ad-
vance orders piled up during the
automobile shows in key cities.
2. Conservative production poll
cies adopted during the depression
years.
3. The tool and die strike, nov
settled. Which DELAYED the start Of
mass production for several weeks
Ford Started Early
The industry now is making a SUI
preme effort to place production
schedules on a par with the climb
ing sales figures. The manu-
facturers expect they will be able
to catch up with the dealers ano
statesmen by the end of February
Henry Ford, off to an early sart
by presenting his new models Dec
7, is far ahead of the other COM
panies in production.
Chevrolet presented its new mod
els at the New York show and this
week general sales manager w. E
Holler announced that his men al
ready. have obtained orders for 100,-
900 units.
Hudson Demand Increases
The Plymouth company, with
orders already exceeding the $4,000
mark, plans to produce as close tC
that number as possible before the
end of January.
Close behind the three leaders
the Hudson Motor Car Company re-
ported orders for $4,000 Hudson and
Terraplane cars, averaging $500 a
unit.
The three medium price car units
of General Motors Corporation
Buick, Pontiac and Oldsmobile-
have reported orders running ahead
of production.
Airf1ow Orders Heavy
The Chrysler Corporation is just
beginning to put its airflow Chrys-
Ter and De Soto models into produc-
ton to fill thousands of orders al
ready received.
President L. P. Fisher of the
Cadillac Motor Company an
nounced that his company is in
creasing production every day tt
meet the demand in the high
priced field. Vice President M. M
Gilman reported the same condition
existing at the Packard Motor Cal
Company.

|DR WYNEKOOP
 TAKES STAND IN MURDER TRIAL
Defense Plays Its Trump Card in Fight to Save
 Conviction

Criminal Court Building. Chi cago, March 2-U.P.)-Dr Alice Wynekoop told her story to-day of events that led up to discovery of her sons wife, lying nearly nude and dead of bullet wound on an operating table in the basement of the Wynekoop home.
 The recital was given in trem- bling voice before tense and crowded courtroom.
 The state charges Dr Wynekoop with murder in connection with her daughter-in-laW's death.
 The 63-year-old physician sought to show to-day that, even though she can't prove how Rheta died, there are two alternatives that fit the facts better than the case drawn by the prosecution.
 They are:
 Murder by a burglar.
 2-Suicide.
 On three occasions the Wyne. koop property on West Monroe street was burglarized, with both cash and drugs taken, the 63-year- old physician testified under the friendly questioning of her attor- ney, Wm. w. Smith. This set the stage for her contention that Rheta may have been murdered by a burglar.
 To support the suicide possibility Dr Wynekoop said that Rheta had q terrible fear" that she would die of tuberculosis - fear that amounted to "an abession". Add ed to this was "a difference" that had grown up between the pretty titan haired violinist and her handsome husband, Earle. the wit ness said.
 With this defense built up in the minds of the jury, the elderly phy- sician took a sip from her glass Of

HOTEL ELTON TO
 BE REORGANIZED
 UNDER RECEIVER
Judge Gager Appointed as Temporary Receiver to
 Carry on Business

Attorney William w. Gager was named temporary receiver for the Hotel Elton by Judge Arthur F. Els in superior court today. The action is described as the first step toward 8 reorganization of the company. Under the receivership, Attorney Gager is authorized to continue the employment of Clyde Jennings, present manager, in the same capacity and the American Hotels corporation in its directorial capacity.
 The application brought by the Colonial Trust Company as admin istrator of the estate of E. Web- ster Judd. against the AImon O. Judd Company, states that numer- ous notes on which~the defendant is endorser came due yesterday and that the company has no cash with which to pay them.
 The application adds that there- fore the hotel is in danger of mum erous attachments being placed against the property. The company is solvent, the application says but it's assets are in danger of waste through threatened attachments and litigation.
 The exigencies of the case, the application reads, demand the ap- pointments of receiver in order that the assets of the. company may not be wasted and the inter- est of the stockholders and cred itors protected.
 MT Gager is appointed under bonds of $15,0O0.
 The company has captal stock of $134,500 divided into 1,345 shares Of the par value of $100. The plain. tiff is the owner of 993 shares.
 Attorney Gager stated that the receivership is the first step toward a reorganization of the company. Just what shape the reorganization will take is difficult to state at this time; MT Gager said. He will con tlnue as receiver until the reorgan- ization is effected.
 A hearing upon his confirmation as receiver will be held March IA at 10 o'clock in superior court.
