Possibility that the Senate

may call the nine alleged partici-
pants in the Armwood lynching to
testify was made known today.
The nine men were named yes

jr., attorney general of Maryland.
who testified before the subcom-
mittee and explained how he OBJ
tained the names and what part
each suspect is alleged to have
played in the lynching.
The Senate subcommittee in
tends to get as full an account as
possible of the "audacious crime"
which occurred last fall in Mary
land as we'll as the stories of the
lynchings which occurred about
the same time in California and
Missouri, so that it may draft leg
islation which would permit the
Federal Government to prevent
such crimes or punish responsible
county officers or the counties
themselves where lynchingS occur.

Thus the new rate applies only

School Opening Calls for
More Care by Motorists

opening of schools, with 23,500, 000
children going to and from class
rooms, will greatly magnify the
safety problem during the imme-
diate months ahead.
At the same time, the national
motoring body, through its pres
ident, Thomas P. Henry, Detroit,
appealed to all motorists to. coop
crate with parents. police officials,
school authorities and school pa
trolls in order to provide the utmost
protection for the school bound
army of American youngsters.
Some 100000 of these CHI
dren," said Mr.. Henry, will be
going to school for the first time
and will be having their baptism OF
experience in the maelstrom of
traffic. Millions of other children
have for months been away from
traffic hazards and will come back
with an unWarranted feeling of Sc
curity. For all of them, the first
months of the school year are par
ticularly dangerous"
In connection with the orgenized
effort to promote child safety, Mr.
Henry announced that for the COM
ing school year, the American Auto
mobile Association and it's affiliated
motor clubs had greatly extended
their program for safety education
in the schools, through regular les
sons, safety posters, and school pa
trolls. His statement in part follows
while progress has been made in
improving the traffic fatality record
among children" said Mr.. Henry,
1.-THE problem continues to demand
- help of every citizen. 1t is sig
nificant, however. that the children
themselves are doing as much, if
not more. than adults in the way of
responding to traffic control and
using care when on the streets and
highways. This is largely respon-
sib'~ for the fact that only II per
cent of the motor deaths during
1888 were in the age group from 5
TO IA, as compared to 10 per cent
involving persons between the ages
of 16 and 81.
1.-THE splendid record of the age
group including school children may
be attributed to safety education in
the schools, to the effective work of
schoolboy patrols in safeguarding
children en- route to and from
school and the wide use of caution
signs on highways near rural
schools and on streets adjacent to
city schools. With the reopening of
schools some 100000 A. A. A. school
boy patrolmen will be at their posts
in 1000 cities and towns and A. A.
A. motor clubs will sponsor the dis
tribution OF 100000 safety lessons
ard posters during the 1934-35
school year. The extension of this
safety program has been one of our
major civic concerns during the
present year"

MILLION MARK
BY PLYMOUTH
MAKES RECORD
Precedent Lacking for Such
Production in Period of
Six Years.

Setting an all-time record for tho
automotive industry, Walter P.
Chrysler has produced his first mill
lion Plymouths in six years.
Never before in the history Of the
industry has a manufacturer built
his first million cars in so short a
time.
Figuring 1900 as the real begin
ming of automobile manufacture, it
took the entire industry twelve years
to build the first million cars. This
includes all makes of automobiles
produced. the records show.
Driven by Chrysler
Introduced in 1928, the Plymouth
gained steadily in popularity. When
floating power engine mountings
we're introduced in 1881, Plymouth
spurted to third place in the indus
try, position it has held ever since.
Led by B. E. Hutchinson, chair
man of the board of Plymouth, and
D. S. EddinS, vice-president and
general manager, executives Of
Chrysler Motors, attended the cere-
mony when the millionth car rolled
from the line
Mr.. Chrysler, coat off, drove the
car from the line while employees
cheered. In commenting to news
paper men, Mr.. Chrysler said:
Il believe that the American pub
lie today is getting the biggest motor
car dollar in the history of the auto
mobile business.
Expects Few Changes
II do not think that the changes
in the low price field during the
next few years will be of a radical
nature. While I believe low price
cars of the future will be even
smarter, more modern, more eco
nomical, they will stay more or less
within conventional lines.
Il believe that conditions will con-
tinue firm in this country, and that
the American public, accustomed as
it is to better things, will continue
to be able to obtain them.
1--WE do not need to worry about
progress in this country as long as
industry is encouraged to advance
and is permitted and is enabled to
contribute to the social and econom-
ic development of the country, as it
has always done in the past"

PONTIAC, Mich, Sept. 6s-In-
creases in retail deliveries of Pontiac
cars in June and during the first
ten days of July exceeded so great
ly the forecasts set up for these
periods that manufacturing
schedules were increased by $3.50
units for July and August, accord
ing to A. w. L. Gilpin, vice-presi-
dent and general sales manager of

June deliveries" said Mr.. Gilpin,
exceeded the forecast for the
month by 1902 cars and brought
about an increase of 1859 cars for
the ensuing production schedules.
Then when deliveries for the first
ten days of July we're reported it
became evident that July would run
at least 1000 ahead of our produc-
ton. Therefore a second produc-
ton increase, this time of 1000 cars,
was ordered Immediately.
upon advice of our regional
managers from all parts of the
country who were at the factory for
their regular monthly meeting, the
third successive schedule increase
in two weeks was put into effect.
Again the addition was 1000, thus
bringing the total up to $3.50 cars
added to the July and August fac
tory output"
Pontiac sales and deliveries are
holding UP so we'll, Mr.. Gilpin says,
because Of the price reduction June
which only now is having its full
effect, and the increasing public &C
ceptance of the Pontiac product.
A similar condition with actual
| increases in shipments holds true
for Pontiac overseas busin ess.
Figures from Mr.. Gilpin's office
show that actual noncancellable
orders for shipment up to Aug. 81
produced an increase in Pontiac's
export shipments of 314 per cent

PHILOSOPHY OF
FORD DEPICTED
AT EXPOSITION
Auto Makers Views Told on
600-Foot Mural at
Chicago Fair.

Although actions speak louder
than words, at least according to
the old adage, it is to be wondered
if all the thousands of tons Of ma
chinery, the hundreds of workers,
the unending streams Of moving
metal and raw products which IN
themselves tell an eloquent story OF
progress at the Ford exposition of
the Chicago worlds fair, speak loud
er than the quiet words of Henry
Ford himself, which are inscribed
on the 600-foot long Photographic
mural of the central rotunda dom
mating the automotive display.
Here Henry Ford has voiced his
industrial, economic and social cerdo.
He has expressed himself tersely and
unequivocally on a wide range OF
subjects, some of them controversial,
all of primary import, and, judging
by the reactions of the crowds who
visit the huge exhibit, the words,
the thoughts behind them, and the
thoughts they evoke, are as impor-
tant and as dramatic as any exhibit
in the entire eleven-acre exposition.
Interest Visitors
The quotations are eighteen in
number. They are so meaningful
that the list which follows needs
no explanation of why more ques-
tons have been asked about them
by visitors than about any other
single aspect of the entire expoSi-
