PONTIAC DESCRIBED AS
BEST RIDING ROAD CAR
Easy Steering and Elimination of
Shock Cited.

B. H Anibal, vice president in
charge of engineering for the Pom
tiac Motor Company, asserts that
the 1884 Pontiac straight eight is
the best road car he ever has driven.
The new Pontiac must be driven
to be fully appreciated" said Mr.
Anibal. 1T gives a boulevard ride
on rough gravel roads and at high
speeds creates an entirely new sense
of stability and security. Steering
is easy easy, 'telegraphed' road
shock having been eliminated en-
tirely.
Another outstanding characters
tic of the 1884 Pontiac is the ex-
IRENE smoothness of the new
straight eight motor. 1t is smooth
and silent far beyond the smooth
and Silent Pontiac Of 1888. In fact,
I know of only one car in the en-
tire automobile industry which
matches the smoothness Of the 1884
Pontiac straight eight, and that car
is much more expensive"

CONNERY
Urges Passage of Thirty
Hour Week Bill

New York City (ILNS)-Passage
of the 30-hour- week bill, with increas-
ed wages for the reduced hours, was
advocated by Representative William
P. Connery, Jr., of Massachusetts,
sponsor Of the bill at the last session
of congress and chairman of the house
labor committee, in message to the
convention of the silk and rayon in
dustry here.
Connery assured the convention
that the advocates of labor legislation
and the committee were interested
primarily in putting legislation on
the statute books which will give en-
ployers their just due, while at the
same time giving to the workers d fair
share of the products of their labor
in the form of decent wages and de-
cent living conditions"
Connery said he believed the in
creased cost to business Of the bill
would be offset by the increased pur-
chasing power Of the 100000 un-
employed who, he estimated, would be
absorbed as result of the bill.
He also predicted passage of old
age pension and unemployment insur-
ance bills at the next session of con-
gress.

ALLIES WINK
At GERMAN
ARMSSALE
Reich Permitted to Export
Munitions to Increase
Reparation Payments
Rx International News Service

The Allied governments delib-
erately permitted Germany to
manufacture and export war mu,
nitions in violation of the Ver
sailles Treaty, because the sales
increased the German reparation
payments, it was charged today
at the Senate munitions inquiry
The charge was made by Allen
w. Dulles, former chief of the
Far Eastern Division, State De
partment.
It was spread into the Senate
inquiry in a letter written by
Aiken Simons, official of E. I.
Dupont de Nemours & Co.
Powder Mills Deal
The letter, related to a pending
deal of the Duponts to construct
a powder mill in Turkey. It was
apparent the American State De-
partment did not want to help the
Duponts negotiate the deal. The
letter said:
'Tt was called to Mr.. Dulles
attention that in event OF
American firms refusing to
bulad q mill that the Turks
would probably secure German
aid i'm this matter.
'Mr. Dulles said he was well
aware of this, and that he was
also aware that powder and
other munitions were contin-
ually shipped out of Germany
with the cOnnivance of the
Allies, since the resulting sales
of munitions swelled the repara-
tion fund.-
Tells Of Rearming
Senator Vandenberg announced
he believed "all our foreign neigh
bors will welcome this inquiry" !"
He carefully explained the Senate
committee had mo desire to i'm
pugn the motives" of any Euro
pean nation, adding:
Existing treaties have pro-
hibited the import or manu-
facture of munitions by Ger
many, Austria, Hungary and Bull
garia. They are all re-arming.
Now the world is faced with the
question whether any paper con-
troll of armaments can succeed"
Senator Vandenberg said this
condition resulted from one or two
things-either the Allies wanted
these nations to re-arm or there
are forces even more powerful
than governments with stake in
the outcome"
The Michigan senator then
cited the French statement that
Germany had better war planes
than France. He pointed out how
this threat made the French Air
Ministry ask for a large appro'
priation for new planes. He con-
tinued:
"This is typical Of the r3ac-
tiOn in the world to the alleged
re-arming of Germany and Aus"
tria. 1t appears too that Euro"
pean munitions makers may
have had some responsibility
for this flow of matching mum"
tiOns expenditures.
"ENDLESS CHAIN"
"This sort of thing becomes
an endless chain. Country A
speeds its ornaments to keep
pace with Country B. Then
Country c matches Country B.
Finally even the United States
Joins the competition.
"In other words, the German
program inevitably produces a
progressive worldwide arma"
