PONTIAC SALES
SHOW INCREASE

In the month Of January Just
closed more new Pontiac skies and
aiphts were delivered at retail IN
the United States than during any
previous January since 1928. accord
ing to II. J. Klingler. president and
general manager Of Pontiac Motor
company.
The figures show a total Of 1890
retail deliveries this year compared
with Is z for January 1884 and 53l6
for January 1888. In other words,
deliveries this year are 5000 over
January last year and almost as
great as the two previous Januarys
combined
More cars were delivered during
the final ten days Of January than
during all Of January last year and
untitled orders from dealers have
gene up 1866 since December 3lSt.
Shipments into the export field
have shown ar yer more remark
able gain with a total for January
this year OF 1886 against 232 for
the month last year and 235 for
January 1888.
Production of 1888 models through
December and January has been
more than double the production OF
1884 cars in the same two months
a year ago.
AS to the future. Mr.. Klineler Of
fers the prediction that Pontiac will
build and sell az retail more cars
in February than it did in any
month Of 1884.
These figures are al the more
remarkable" said Mr.. Klineler,
when you consider that the So
called automobile buying season Is
only beginning. Big deliveries
usually do net start until March.
Our unusual sales at such an early
period in the year indicates two
very definite things. First OF
course, the new Pontiacs have re-
ceived an almost unprecedented &C.
ceptance and there Is a marked
loosening OF the public purse strings
brought about b. a renewed feeling
OF confidence and by the huge ex-
penditure Of money for public works
and by the major national relief
measures.
There r dealers IN e sec
ton OF the country who are selling
more cars than they did during ali
OF last year.
up in Superior, Wise, with the
temperature averaging some Is de-
grees below zero, in January. the
Pontiac dealer whose biggest Janu-
airy up TO date had been five retail
sales. has taken orders for the i'm
mediate delivery Of eleven new
cars in the month Just closed.
Last year a small dealer in South
Dakota sold seventeen Pontiac's dur
ing the year and we had twelve
months in which 10 make the deliv-
cries. This year the same dealer
booked orders for thirteen ears dur
ing the first two weeks Of the month
and has been doing everything un-
der heavens TO get delivery on all
thirteen cars at once.
These two instances can be du-
plicated in scores Of localities all
YER the country with the result
that IN January we delivered three
times as many cars at retail as We
did In January a year ago.

u. S. Protest To q.
Soviet Over Red
Activities Looms
Breach of '33 Agreement
Seen in Reports to
World Congress
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD
United Press Staff. Correspondent

MOSCOW, Aug. SUPP
American protests thax the Mos
cow seventh world congress of the
Cominterr (third internationally
violates the RooseveH-Litvi
1888 agreement were forecast
last night.
u. s. Ambassador William c..
Bullitt studied the question seri-
ously. Protests have not yet been
lodged with the Soviet foreign
cOmmissariat but the embassy de-
clined to exclude them as posi-
bilities.
American interests at home
were reported irate over cOmmun-
lists boasts of their growing mem
bership and influence in the Unit
ed States, where they claimed re-
sponsibility for strikes and even
social security legislation by the
United States congress.
Speeches such as that by Sam
uel Darcy, American communist
party delegate, predicting a strike
Of American LOngshoremen on a
vast scale, raised the question as
to whether the Soviet government
is permitting plotters against the
internal order of the United
States to meet here.
In his 1888 conversations with
President Roosevelt Soviet for
eign cOmmissar, Maxim Litvinoff
promised communist propaganda
against America would be pro-
hibited.
In the agreement signed No
Vember l6, 1888, Litvinoff prom
Used Roosevelt the Soviet govern
ment "would not permit fOrma-
ton or residence on its territory
of any organization or group aim
ed at bringing about by force any
change in the political or social
order of the United States"
American quarters commended
the stirring of American workers
to class warfare by the COmintern
can be considered violation of the
agreement.
1t was understood the embassy
would not act until the COmintern
congress has completed its SEES
sions and adopted its resolutions.
At that time American delegates
will have received their "direc-
tives" or instructions from the
third internatiOnale. .

MIAMI NEWS WRITER
STARTS SERVING HIS
CONTEMPT SENTENCE

MIAMI, Fla, Aug. 1.-(UP)-
Shannon Cormack, star reporter
of the Daily Tribune, began serv-
ing a 24-hour Jail sentence in
county Jail last night for con-
tempt of court.
Cormack was found guilty Of
contempt after publication of a
court story last winter in the
Tribune in which the presiding
Judge, Jefferson B. Browne, was
enormously said to have presided
in another case.
The Tribune later published a
correction of the error, pointing
out that it was not the same
Judge Browne who participated
in the other case. Members of the
papers editorial staff were cited
for contempt, however.
Cormack was fined $50 in addi-
ton to receiving the Jail sentence,
and the Tribune's editor, Paul G..
Jeans, was also fined $50. Both
fines have been paid.
An appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court, which upheld the
lower court.

PRAYER THEME
IN BIBLE MEET
Tabernacle Gathering Con-
tinues: City Hall Filled
By Audience

The city hall was filled at Che
third meeting Of the Bible CONFER
ence, conducted by DR.. w. Stlll-
man Martin, of Atlanta, Ga. truth
that is vitality connected with the
Christian life and service IS be-
ing discussed nightly. last night
DR.. Martin preached from the
subject, "Prayer in Emergencies. "
Asa's prayer, in 2 Chronicles Ia:
II, comprised the verses of the
sermon. The speaker discussed
the few fragments which made up
the prayer, each of which teaches
a fundamental element in the
spirit Of prayer in such an ext
gency. These items were:
First-Prayer in emergency is
founded on a strong faith in
Gods independence Of human re-
sources and methods of Judg-
ment. at is nothing to Thee to
help whether with many or with
them that have no might" This
goes to the heart of the case.
Second-A second element IN
prayer in emergencies is pro.
found sense Of the inadequency OF
all other sources Of help. Help
US our God for "" rest in thee.
God must become the infinite TACT
before victory is gained.
Third-A third element IN
prayer in emergencies is personal
Identification with God. 'ln thy
name we go against this multi
tude." Believing prayer is not
solely to get something from God,
but to lift us up to God out OF
our petty selves, that His inter-
ests may become ours.
Fourth--Prayer in emergency
is a hearty recognition of God S
ownership. Chou are our God,
let not man prevail against thee. "
The sacredness and entirety OF
divine ownership is pledged to our
success.
Tonight DR.. Martin will speak
on the theme, as There Room in
the Church of Today for the Holy
Spirit"
A new song book recently COM
piled by DR.. Martin is used in the
conference. Dr.. and Mrs. Martin
have written and published near
ly $500 songs in the past 80
years. =,
The young people Of the church
meet each evening at 6 O'Clock
for a devotional meeting preced-
ing the conference. session to
which all are also invited.

faced with concrete and new re-
tanning walls of reinforced steel
and concrete will be built.
Expansion of the safety zone on
the inside of the turns also is be-
ing considered, he said.
The rules committee of the
race decreed that all drivers I'M
familiar with the track will be
required to make apprentice runs
before being permitted to quallty
for the 500-mile race.
While a committee consisting
of veteran drivers, representatives
of the AAA contest board and
officials of the track looks on,
new drivers will be required to
turn so laps at varying speeds.
The first 10 laps will be driven
at 80 miles an hour, the second
10 at 90, the third at 100, the
fourth at 105 and the fifth at
10.
New ears making their first APP
pearance at the track, or cars
which have been drastically re-
modelled will be subjected to the
same 125-mile test under super
vision of the technical committee.
Another safety measure adopt
ed by the rules committee will
require the speedway to maintain
an x-ray laboratory so that all
steering knuckles and other parts
of the car can be carefully exam
ined before the race.
