SESSION CONVENED
BY VIC. CHEMICAL
Retention or Removal of
Kemp Group Is Issue Fac
ing Holders at Richmond.
BY the Associated Press.

~ bAAC hooONAabCo EICoos
RICHMOND, Va, December H.
Retention or removal Of George s.
Kemp and seven associates from tins
directorate Of the Virginia Carolina
Chemical Corp. Is an issue facing
stockholders at special meeting in
the headquarters offices here today,
beginning at IL am.
Indications are that as soon as the
inspectors of election are appointed
a recess will be taken until late after
noon or tonight, pending the count
ing of the proxies and the revocations.
Another possibility is a move for ad-
journment of the special meeting until
a later date, a motion which can be
adopted by a majority vote of the
shares represented in person at the
meeting.
The special session is an aftermath
of the annual meeting on October 8,
in which Mr. Kemp and Leon NJ.
Nelson, majority members of the COR
poration Proxy Committee, voted some
5000 corporation proxies against the
reelection as directors of Thomas
Branch Scott. J. Luther Moon, A. L.
Ivey and Joseph A. Dart. Mr.. Ivey
was then president of the corporation,
the bylaws of which require the
president to be a director. F. Swift
Gibson of Baltimore was later named
president.
The new Board of Prior Preference
Shareholders at its first meeting
amended the bylaws so as to require
vote Of two-thirds of the outstanding
stock TO remove director from Office.
The seven directors chosen by the 6
per cent preferred and common share
holders voted against this change in
bylaws, and are now seeking a
quorum among the junior shares for
the purpose of helping to restore the
bylaws to their original status, re-
quiring majority vote only to elect
or remove a director.

MILL FINISHED

DETROIT-The new Ford Mo
tor Company hot strip steel mill
at the Rouge plant in Dearborn
has started production. marking
completion of major phase of a
81 million dollar expansion and
modernization program.
Engineers are now engaged in
tuning up the new cold steel fin
ishing mill. When both mills are
ready for production the Detroit
area steel production capacity will
be increased by 1900 tons a day,
or IS per cent. The mills will be
capable of turning out a supply of
steel sufficient for production of
5000 cars a day.
More than a year and a half
was required for construction of
the buildings and installation of
the more than 20 million pounds
Of machinery and motor equip
merlt. The project increases the
Rouge plant floor space by more
than $4,000 square feet-176,000
in the cold finishing mills and
$4,000 in the hot strip mills.
IngotS processed in the new
mills are cast in 1,500-pound and
4,500-pound sizes for alloy steel,
and 20.000-pound size for rolling
into sheet steel.

DETROIT, Dec. 20 U.N.SO .
Automobile plants today prepared
to celebrate the merriest Christ
mas in their 35-year history.
A survey by International News
Service disclosed new cars were
rolling off assembly lines at
the rate Of 10000 a day as they
became stock in trade for Santa
Claus for the first time.
In former years, there gener-
ally was lull in both production
and buying as the public awaited
the January automobile shows.
The fact the annual shows were
moved up to November this year
spelled the MERRY CHRISTMAS
not only for the auto companies
but for upwards of 100000 men
they employ.
High-Priced Cars Bought
The holiday squirt in 1885 sales
was particularly evident in the
higher priced cars. Packard Of
ficially announced unprecedented
Christmas demands" and Cadil-
lac-LaSalle reported so per cent
of cars purchased will be placed
in Santa Claus packs.
In the Small-price field, Chev-
rolet was reaping dividends from
a $150,000 Christmas sales drive.
Ford forged ahead with a slogan
Gosh. They All Want Fords''
under a picture of Santa Claus
and Bucks motto was Buick S
the Buy for Christmas"
Chrysler, De Soto, Plymouth,
OldSmobile and Pontiac also were
among those claiming heavy
Christmas sales, and accessory
factories were operating at peak
capacities. More than one auto
company was wrapping its Christ
mas cars in colored paper and
ribbon even though they made
bulky packages.

Auto Plants Prepare
For Best Christmas
In Their History

Fisher Body said Merry Christ
mas and Prosperous New Year" to
Grand Rapids by announcing a
$7,000,000 die and stamping plant
will be built there by March l..
Eventually it will provide employ
ment for between 1900 and 1000
men and create pay rolls Of more
than $2,500,000 a year. The build
ing in Grand Rapids was in line
with the trend in the industry
toward decentralization.
Meantime, sales reports indi-
Gated So per cent Of. all cars
built were sold" before they left
assembly lines. Other years, the
rate was about so per cent. Gen
eral Motors revealed actual fig
ures showing 80 per cent of the
cars it produced in November
were sold. The better balance be-
tween production and sales S
tended to eliminate overstocking
by dealers.
LetdOwn Expected
December production was eX-
pected to approximate November
output, when 3S5,O0o cars were
built. Last week, the industry
hit a 5000, ,000-carS-a-year clip but
production was expected to slow
down after Christmas.
Production for the entire year,
1885. was expected to hit 4,l50,000
units, compared to predictions at
the outset of the year when out
put was estimated at 100000.
Nineteen-thirty-six is expected to
see between 100000 and 5,000,-
600 new cars.
This year marked the first time
in the industry's history auto
shows were held in November in
stead of January. The change
was designed to stabilize employ
ment during winter months.

.UPTURN IN TIRE
PRICES SEEN

Continued success in holding
the November automobile tire
price level has encouraged manu-
facturerS to hope for further
price advances within the next
two or three months, according
to the Standard Statistics Com
pany.
Although mail-order houses and
oher special brand distributors
have not yet fully adopted the
Sounder trade practices and firm
er price structure established by
the manufacturers. it is expected
that they will announce price in
creases shortly after the first
Of the year. If the trade con-
tinues to demonstrate its present
cooperation, the firm says. Such
action, it is said, would greatly
increase the already good chances
for firmer tire prices next year.
Standard Statistics adds:
, eff prices can be moderately
advanced and then held rigidly
through the summer selling sea-
son, leading rubber manufac-
turers could earn substantial
profits. Maintenance of pres
ent prices next year would
largely offset increasing taxes
and the prospective further rise
in crude rubber costs. but ad-
iitiOnal price increases are
considered necessary for really
satisfactory earnings. Trade
observers believe that the real
test of present improved COM
petitvie conditions will come

GRAINS LOWER
IN DULL TRADE

CHICAGO, Dec. 20 GN.CD.
Easiness in foreign markets influ-
enced a moderately lower trend
in grain prices here today in dull
early dealings.
Prices here opened steady but
at mid-sesSion were "a to 12c off
for wheat and 70 to Ac off for
corn. Oats were unchanged to
1sc off and rye 1sc off.
December wheat displayed the
most easiness, dropping 1ac to
$1.013s, May fell 14c to 987s.
Improved weather for maturing
the crop, aided the downturn in
corn. May was 1sc off at 5912.
