Steadily Growing Outputs
at Ford and Chevrolet
Factories Cited.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, April 4.-Indications
that the low-priced field of the auto
mobile industry, which produces ap-
proximately IS per cent of all the
vehicles manufactured, Is Just get
ting into its stride, are seen in an
announcement by the Ford company
Of further stepping-up of its assem-
bly, plants program and a steadily
growing output by Chevrolet.
The Ford Co. operated on a pro-
duction schedule of 100000 units
in March. For April 1t has increased
this to 10000 passenger cars and
trucks, which probably is close to its
present capacity. The Chevrolet COM
pany has announced no specific sched-
ule for April, but continues steadily to
increase daily production and is cur
rently well above the 100, ,000-unit-a-
month mark.
Chevrolet led Ford in manufactur-
ing volume over the greater part of
the last seven years and it is ex-
pected in trade circles that the gap
between the output volume of the
two companies will continue to mar
row down during the coming few
weeks. In some quarters the predic-
ton has been made that Chevrolet
volume may continue to increase for
some time after Ford has reached
a leveling-of point. Ford got away
to a flying start on his new models
for 1895, while Chevrolet, introducing
the newer types later, held back on
production somewhat until the mid
die of March.
The Chevrolet company, too, re-
ported a sizable volume of untitled
orders on hand as it swung into in
creased output.
1t is Gne of the favorable signs for
the immediate future of the motor
car industry that the low price field,
in which the greatest demands are
made by consumers, should have been
so slow to overtake its early rush of
retail orders. In some quarters this
has been looked upon as very def
mite assurance that production ac-
tivity is to be spread over a greater
period Of the year than heretofore
has been the policy in the industry.
Most of the industry is very def
nitely committed to policies which at
least point to that objective. While
the Ford company is not a party to
the agreement entered into by men,
bers OF the Automobile Manufac-
turerS' Association, the status of its
production program indicates a con-
tinuance of high level production for
several months TO come if its pro-
jected 100000 or more cars in
1885" program is to be realized.

Plea Is r,de
For :. To
Credit
Demand That
The Government Keep
Hands Off Banks
PRESIDENT PLEASED

New Orleans.-The American
association Tuesday heard
requests from President Roosevelt
and heads of two Federal financial
agencies for an extension Of credit
to business, industry, and real
estate, after their own leader had
demanded government Withdrawal
from the field Of banking and
other private business.
Mr.. Roosevelt's request was
made in a letter read before the
bankers convention in which he
said, "All banks are now in a
strong position" His plea was
echoed in addresses by Jesse H.
Jones, chairman of the Recon-
struction Finance corporation; and
Leo T. Crowley, chairman of the
Federal Deposit Insurance corpora
ton.
sT have watched with great in
terest the continued improvement
in banks throughout the country
during the last two years." Mr..
Roosevelt letter said, "the prog
ress which I reported to the con-
vention last year is being main
tanned. Evidences Of great recov-
cry are at hand.
Bank portfolios and deposits
reflect this.
"I am grati6ed, as l am sure
every member of the American
Bankers association is gratifed, to
know that all banks now are in 4
strong position, and I hope they
will take full advantage of the
new banking act and provide cred
it where it can be done upon a
sound basis to business and in
dustry and to real estate"
The President said he was sure
that with cooperation among
banks, business, and government
and mutual confidence-"we
will soon solve our remaining prob
lens"

office of Harry L. Hopkins, Fed
eral WPA-ERA administrator.
News from Washington has in
Dictated North Cardinals quota was
only $7,4oo,ooo, which happens to
be only the WPA allotment, the

ments in 1886 and not on a final

ed during the summer that North
Carolina was entitled to 100000

600, 900 on the basis of its relief
roll.
After a conference with Hopkins,
the Governor and Senator with
Congressman R. L. Doughton issu-
ed a statement in which they said
they had been assured North Caro-
lima would receive its just share
of the emergency funds.

%antine, $4,000; forest service,

Children Die AS
Alexis Home Burns

The eight children Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hubert Cunningham, ranging
from the ages of one to nineteen,
were burned to death early Wed
nesday morning at Alexis, IS miles
from Gastonia.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cunningham were
burned in an effort to warn their
children of the blaze which started
about l a. M, but were o serious
ly hurt. 1t is said that the moth
Ter saw two of her children in the
burning room where seven of them
were sleeping, but the furious
flames drove her back when she
tried to reach them.
The six-room two-story house
burned to the ground. The Cum
ninghams had been living there only
about six months. Origin of the
blaze was undetermined, but it
was thought that it originated in
the upper part of the house. The
family was sleeping down stairs.
Large crowds visited the scene.

of the children-it was impossible
to ascertain which two due to the
condition of the bodies-were
found near the front of the house,
indicating they must have almost

front when the roaring flames
trapped them.

St. Paul, Minn.-The pig that

cause Governor Clyde l.. Herring.
of Iowa, to write out a pardon for
himself, he said.
The governor refused to become
worried, however, when informed
he had been charged with gambl-
ing in Iowa. as a result of the bet
he made with Gov: Floyd B. o.
son, of Minnesota, on the outcome
of the Iowa-M Minnesota football
game last Saturday.
The governor earlier had person.
ally paid off the bet he lost, herd
ing a prize 265 pound Iowa pig,
big Boy Floyd of Rosedale," into
the Minnesota capital.
Meanwhile, in Des Moines, Mu-
nicipal Court Judge ]. E. Mershon
signed a warrant for Herring's ar
rest, acting on information filed
by Virgil Case, secretary of the
Social Justice club.
Iowa gambling statutes list bet
ting as a misdemeanor and set for
penalty as a fine up to $500 or a
Jail term up to one year, or both.

CLASH OF OPINIONS

Secretary Wallace continues to
have close and influential relations
with the President. Mr.. Wallace
is a good deal of a puzzle to Wash
ington. As Secretary of Agricrl-
ture he is regarded as doing a good
job. As a philosopher, he often ex-
presses himself in ways which
would seem to back up the Tug
well theory of Federal control of
industry.
1t is said some bitterness exists
in the Administrations official
household between the conserva-
tives and those Of the Hugwell-
Hopkins school of thought. On
the conservative side observers
list Secretary of Commerce Roper
and Secretary Of the interior Ickes,
neither Of whom is believed to
have any particular influence with
the President.
Secretary Of State Hull has
everybody's respect, but is not a
particularly influential figure in
shaping Administration policies ex-
cept in foreign affairs. Joseph
Eastman, coordinator of railroads,
is very close to the President and
regarded as influential. Jesse
Jones, head of RFC, is not a close
Presidential adviser, though he is
well liked as an efficient admins
traitor.
The President is showing an in
elination to follow the lead of his
conservative advisers, especially in
the matter of consolidating en-
Urgency agencies and centralizing
budget control.
The latest move in this direction
is the coordination of all the hous-
ing agencies under Peter Grimm.
Mr.. Grimm has been made Assis-
tant Director of the National En-
Urgency Council. He has been in
the real estate business in New
York all his life, and is highly re-
garded as a public-spiriped, for
ward-looking able citizen.

Carolina convention has heard since
the year 1880, declaring that every
one of the p detectives which had
been set for the convention at the
beginning of his period 81 service
three years ago had been to some
considerable extent fulfilled.
The Baptist pastors convention

isfactory meetings that has been

for the organization for the follow
ing year: Rev. Hugh B. Anderson
of Durham, as president; Rev. ].

Beginning at $3.50 o'clock Wed
nesday morning the Baptists Of

one in the South. Superintendent
il. G. Grier directed the Wednes-
day morning program, and the
featured speaker was Miss Mary
Misenheimer of Lexington.
Wednesday afternoon the entire
convention moved as a body out to
Mars Hill college, a Baptist insti-
tuition 20 miles out in the hills.
There amid the everlasting hills on
the campus Of one of its several
educational institutions, the dele
gates assembled and heard the ad-
dress on Christian education de-
livered by DR.. Luther Little, pastor
of the First church in Charlotte.
