r. Earl Peters, Indiana director
of the Federal Housing Adpinistra-

bank support.

HOUSE TO AVOID
REFORM BILLS,
SAYS RAINEY
Unemployment Insurance
and Other Pet Measures
Doomed, Is Fear.
BN Cnited Press

~ Cntted Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Federal
unemployment insurance legislation,
being urged by Secretary Of Labor
Frances Perkins in a series of
speeches, is unlikely to be enacted
this session, Speaker Henry T.
Rainey said today.
Mr.. Rainey emphasized that I'M
less President Roosevelt directly
proposes action on this and series
Of other controversial proposals,
every effort will be made to avoid
such legislative "hobgoblins" in the
way Of early adjournment of con-
greSS.
Listed among the proposed 1egiS-
lation which the leaders are anx-
ious to avoid are:
l. Merger proposals involving radio
and telegraph, as embodied in PreSi-
dent RooSevelt's interdepartmental
committee report.
2. Stock market regulation.
3. Unemployment insurance, old
age pensions and the thirty-hour
week.
4. Silver reconciliation.
The aim of house administration
leaders is to clear up necessary
legislation, such as appropriation
bills and measures specifically rec
commended by the President, as soon
as possible so the house can sit back
and let the senate bear the burden
of responsibility for delaying the
end of the session.

Optimistic Note Sounded
at Chicago's Auto Show
Outlook Declared Best in
Four Years; Twenty-Five
Companies Exhibit.
BY STURGES WELLS
Times Automobile Editor

CHICAGO. Jan. 31.-Chicago's
thirty-fourth national automobile
show opened Saturday at the his
toric Coliseum with brightest pros
poets for sales and attendance since
the 1929 show. Hundreds of deal
ers throughout the country have
assembled here to attend the an
nual convention of the National
Automobile Dealers Association, as
well as the many factory dealer
meetings and luncheonS throughout
the week.
Twenty-Five automobile compa-
MES present the twenty-five differ
ent makes being shown, totaling
more than two hundred models.
Aside from the presentations at
the automobile show, both General
Motors and Chrysler have arranged
elaborate displays of their lines in
the lobbies and lounges of the Ste
venS and the Congress, respectively
Ford and Lincoln also are shown at
the Congress, while Hudson Terra
plane is at the Blackstone.
Mingling with the crowds Sunday
night at the Coliseum and the no.
tel exhibits, in the company of E. L.
and Dwight Shaver, better known
in indianapolis as the head men
for Lafayette-NaSh, there seemed to
be most comment about the new
La Sale and the new Imperial Air
flow Chrysler town limousine, the
latter of which has carried out the
theme of easy riding qualities by
adding disappearing desk in the
rear compartment, with the sug-
gestion that one dash off couple
of letters to friends back home while
making the annual family tour.
The attendance at the Coliseum
Sunday night was hampered by the
intense cold wave which suddenly
swept in from the lake about noon
and established a new low tempera-
ture record for the year.
The decorations and setting of
the show this year are mod
erniStic. Even the lighting effect
has gone modern, being indirect in
stead Of the usual huge chandeliers
seen in other years.
Among the twenty-five makes on
display Auburn, Buick, Cadillac,
Chevrolet, Chrysler, Continental,
De Soto, Hupmobile, Lafayette, La
Hudson, Hupmobile, Lafayette, La
Sale, Lincoln, Nash, Oldsmobile,
Packard, Pierce Arrow, Plymouth,

new CHEVROLET
PRICE POLICY IS
EXPLAINED HERE
Actual Delivered Cost Quo
tation Is Topic of
Officials.

A. F. Young, Flint regional man
ager; G. P. Fisken, sales promo
tional manager, and w. E. Fish,
manager of the commercial car de-
partment of the Chevrolet Motor
Company, visited Indianapolis last
Wednesday and outlined to city
dealers and representatives of news
papers the significance and operat-
ing methods of Chevrolet'S new poll
icy whereby statesmen will quote &C
tual delivery costs Of a new car or
truck to the prospect instead of the
customary f. o. b. prices.
What the purchaser is primarily
interested in stated Mr.. Young "is
what car will cost delivered in
front of his home and truck at his
store or factory. Hereafter, our
statesmen are going to quote him
that figures. The purchaser will
thus be spared the unpleasantneSs
of discovering that in the end his
car or truck cost him more than
he had originally planned.
Public Shows Interest
'I am confident that this plan
will enable us to deliver automo-
biles-pasSenger or commercial-all
over the country at lower price to
the consumer than any other make
of volume car"
Mr.. Young voiced enthusiasm over
the prospects of his company for
this year. 1--WE introduced our 1884
models early this month at 100 spe-
cial exhibits all over the country
miniature automobile shows in
themselves-to a most interested
and responsive public.
1.-THE almost unbelievably fine
response the public has made to our
new models in terms of orders will
insure the day and night operation
of our plants throughout most of
the spring. We will operate either
three shifts a day of eight hours
each or four shifts of six hours each,
depending upon circumstances in
the cities where our tWenty-one do
nestle plants are located"
Puts Faith in Plan
Returning to the policy of quot
ing only actual delivered costs to
the purchaser, Mr.. Fisken said he
considered this one of the most
revolutionary merchandising plans
ever introduced into automobile
sales practice.
Chevrolet, he said, is basing the
success of its entire 1884 sales plans
upon the soundness of the new
policy.
1--WE are going to take the blind
ers off the order blank" he said.
"We are going to let everybody know
exactly how much their car will
cost them. We are going to take
out to the last cent the pack-the
increase between the advertised, or
list, price and the actual cost to
the consumer"

CHRYSLER RETAINS
DEALER STRENGTH
Gain of 1000 Reported by
Sales Group.

The Chrysler Sales Corporations
position as posSeSSor of the third
largest dealer organization in the
world was strengthened in 1888 by
the addition of 1882 new dealers to
handle Chrysler and Plymouth cars.
This figure includes only those en-
tering the organization for the first
time and not the old dealers signing
new contracts.
At the close of 1888, the Chrysler
Sales Corporation had 3,717 dealers
on its books, approximately 1000
more than at the close of 1882. Since
the addition of the Airflow Chryslers
and the new ChrySler six, applica-
lions for territory have been coming
in at an unprecedented rate.

Robert Valeur of Columbia University
said today that the way things are
shaping up now Germany ultimately
will be unable to pay even her pri-
vate debts"
He said Chancellor Hitler's policy

tariffs of Germany's creditor nations
are responsible.
DIR. Valeur told the thirty-fourth

ences that heavy American invest
ments and loans made to Germany
after the war had been used to pay
reparations, Offset her unfavorable
trade balance and carry out municipal
projects, such as housing and recrea-
tional centers.
''Hitler's policy of economic ma
tionalism, combined with the high
tariffs of creditor countries, are likely
to prevent Germany from building a
substantial trade balance. and sooner
or later Germany will have to default
all together" he said
THE tragedy of the thing will be
that innumerable citizens of the
United States, England, Holland and
Switzerland will have to pay for the
international bankers lust for COM
