NEW YORK, Nov. IS QN.S).
Conflicting Interpretation of Su-
preme Court Justice John F.
Carew's statement in the Wander
bilt case was made today by
counsel for the battling society
matrons.
Preceding a conference that is
expected to decide the future life
of 10.year-old Gloria Vanderbilt,
the prize in the fight, Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney, her aunt, ex.
pressed confidence she was the
victor.
, Aligned with Mrs. Whitney was
her counsel, Herbert c. Smyth,
who felt the decision was a vic.
tory for his side. But Nathan
Burkan, attorney for Mrs. Gloria
Morgan Vanderbilt, the mother,
could not see it that way.
Said Mrs. Whitney in her Fifth
Avenue home:
81 am confident the court
will realize my right to Gloria"
Said Smyth:
"YOu couldn't make that child
20 back to her mother unless
you put her in a straight jacket.
I think Justice Carew meant to
convey the idea he would not
give the child to Mrs. Wander
bilt until he is satisfied she
has mended her ways"
Said Burkan: .'.

mated in a very fertile imagina-
ton" ...
The lawyers were to meet later
In Justice Carew's chambers to
decide what is to be done with
the child. Until then the ulti.
mate outcome is a matter Of
conjecture.

Prince exclaimed:
II never thought any judge
in the world could give such

is an amazing decision, as 1t

Aked whether he thought Mrs,
Vanderbilt would regain custody
of her child, he said: '..
II don't see how the court
can do anything else. Judge
Crew is bound to give her the
verdict. Everything said against
her has been exploded. 1t was
most unfair that her side of

Insurance On Royalty
Costly, Hard to Get

Surance rates for kings and men,
bers of royal families have gone
sky-rocketing as a result of the
assassination of King Alexander
of Jugoslavia, it was disclosed in
financial circles today.
Even a distant kinship to any
one occupying a throne makes
the individual bigger liability
to insurance companies.
Although some compa nj e S,
though hesitant, could be per-
suaded to accept a king or a

Marseille assassination, few, If
any, would do so now, experts
agreed,

It was recalled that Car Mich

hundred thousand dollars an
nually as the premium. However,
no one as far as is known ever
has heard of collections being
made upon his assassination, and
if policies were to be presented
now the Soviet government might
put up a strong claim under the
contention that it inherited all
of the Cars property.

PRICE CUTS Up
TO S45 MADE
BY PLYMOUTH
Record Production Leads to
Reduction; Sales Gain
Expected.
By Times Special

By Times Special
DETROIT, June 13-Price reduc-
lions up to $45 on Plymouth cars
are announced here by B. E. Hutch
inson, chairman of the board of the
Plymouth Motor Corporation.
The new price structure gives
Plymouth base price of $485 at the
factory. Plymouth is now from $50
to $40 lower in price than COM
parable models of any other car
with so-called knee type, or individ-
ual springs.
Our record production for this
year makes it possible for us to
offer these new low prices" Mr..
Hutchinson stated, in announcing
the reduction. During the first four
months of this year Plymouth pro-
duction was more than two and
one-half times as many cars as in
the same period last year. Our last
weeks sales reports show a gain IN
retail sales of 26.5 per cent over the
same period of year ago.
There is still a tremendous I'M
tapped market for new cars in
America. These new low prices will
further stimulate buying. 1t is esti-
mated that there are more than
100000 persons in America whose
livelihood depends upon the manu-
facture of new cars and the ma
terial that goes into them. Contin-
uation of new car sales on a high
level is the greatest contribution to
a return of prosperity that any
American industry could make"

AUTO RADIO BY
PH|LCO PRAISED
New Model Declared Only
Set Giving High Quail
ity Reception.

For the first time in automobile
radio history, high quality recep-
ton while motoring has been placed
within the reach of every one,
states Art Rose, head of the Rose
Tire Company, Inc, at $50 North
Meridian street, local Philco dis
tributor, now supplying dealers in
this vicinity with the new Model IL
Philco auto radio.
"Only through Philco's tremen-
dous production and the unequaled
demand for all Philco products
could such an instrument be made
available at such a low price. It's
powerful superheterodyne circuit
brings in stations from remarkable
distances, he asserted.
According to Mr. Rose, the new
model is completely out of sight
when installed, nothing being
visible except the attractive steer
ing column control. 1t operates at
any motor speed or when the motor
is off. An electro-dynamic speaker
of the same type found in home
receivers, automatic volume control
and noiseless operation are features
of its design.

With successes like Green Pas

Exhibit Week Produces
Sales of 278 ChevrOlets
Lowest Price Six Appeals to
Visitors at City
Showing.

Encouraged by the sharp reduc-
ton which brought Chevrolet prices
to the lowest point since the 1884
line came out, and further stimu-
lated by the chance to inspect the
full line of knee-action models, the
new standard series, and the vari-
Gus Chevrolet trucks at the General
Motors exhibit, residents of Indian
apolis and vicinity gave national re-
covery substantial boost by pur-
chasing 278 Chevrolets during ex-
hibit week here, it is announced by
E. v. Berger, local Chevrolet zone
manager, who characterized the In
dianapoliS exhibit as a complete
success.
Attendance during the week, Mr..
Berger said, was even heavier than
could have been expected in the
light of weather conditions pre-
vailing much of the time. Interest
was plainly centered in the new
standard Chevrolets, making their
formal bow as the worlds lowest
priced SKIES.
The evidence of buying power and
of the disposition to use it, is by no
means limited to indianapolis, Mr..
Berger said. A letter from w. E.
Holler, general sales manager of
Chevrolet, reports widespread cause
for optimism as to the immediate
future.
I'm spite of adverse conditions
brought on by drought and other
causes, the June business outlook is
more favorable than that of year
ago." Mr.. Holler's letter stated.
There are strong indications that
when figures for the full month are
in they will show an even more OPP
timistic prediction justified"
This statement may be taken as
authoritative for. it represents the
consensus of opinion expressed by
10000 Chevrolet dealers throughout
the United States, not through the
medium of simple assertions unsup-
ported by fact, but in the form of
orders for new Chevrolet cars and
trucks.
The period of the special General
Motors showing in siXty-one princi-
pal cities put new and brighter
aspect on the June automotive out
look, and because of the far-reach-
ing effect of activity in the auto
motive industry it has also brought
an upward revision in the general
business prospect.
