Mexico in company with former Presi-
dent Gales, and 80 leaders of the
Mexican organization ARE now in
prison-not because they have COM

be labor leaders"
Green, who conferred here yester-

Sale of Diplomats Effects
Brought in Duty.Free
Not Disapproved.
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

The Customs Bureau ruled yester-
day that there Is nothing irregular IN
an Iranian diplomats selling in this
country a large consignment of his
household effects four months after
he brought them into this country
duty-free.
The report was made after a four
dav Investigation of the customs
declarations of Hasseim Ghods, former
charge d'affaires of the 1ranian Lega-
ton, who presented his credentials in
Washington January IA and sailed for
his home April II.
The 153 Persian items in the sale
which prompted the investigation all
belong to Ghods and were brought
with him from Iran, according to A.
A. Kiacheff, New York importer, who
acted as Ghods' agent in the sale
being conducted by a Washington
auctioneer.
The Customs Bureau ruled that
while a diplomat is not supposed to
dispose by sale of the goods admitted
duty-free through the international
courtesy arrangement, no steps are
taken if a sale subsequently is ar
ranged.
The sale, originally planned to end
yesterday after six days of auctioneer-
ing, will not be completed until late
next week. Many of the 81 rugs

Just what is this labor trouble that
is threatening to break up the National
Symphony Orchestra after five success
full concert seasons?
1t is based upon two points-impor-
tation of musicians from other cities
and the suspension from the Musicians
Union of George Gaul, orchestra per-
sonnel manager.
Here is an illustration Fictitious, Of
course) Of the first difficulty:
The orchestra needs tuba player,
We will say. It finds there is no skill
full tuba player in the ranks of local
musicians, and so C. c. Cappel, or
chestra manager, or one Of his agents
makes talent finding expedition to
Boston.
Must Go at Seasons End.
In Boston is found satisfactory
tuba player who is willing to join the
National Symphony Orchestra pro-
vided he can live in Washington and
accept other musical employment
when the symphony season is over.
Under any other circumstances" the
tuba player explains. its no CO. The
expense and uncertainty of moving at
the end Of every concert season make
it Objectionable to leave the security
of Boston"
Such an arrangement would be emf
nently satisfactory to Cappel. but the
Musicians Protective Union, WASH
lngton unit of the American Fedora
ton of Musicians, objects. The Off
cials are willing to grant the tuba
player temporary membership in the
local union, but when the season Is
ended" they decree, "he must CO." The
union believes that the tuba player,
in obtaining employment outside the
orchestra, would deprive Washington
tuba player of his job The same thing
holds true in the case of the imported
instrumentalists.
Organizations Deadl0cked.
Directors of the orchestra associa-
ton meanwhile insist they cannot
renew their contract with the union
unless the union withdraws its objec-
ton to the orchestra's bringing musi-
clans to Washington on terms which
will give them the same opportunity
for outside employment enjoyed by
full-hedged members of the local
union. The union officials reply they
cannot acquieSce because of an A. F.
M. regulation. The two organizations
consequently stand deadlocked, with
the fate of the orchestra hanging in
balance.
The second difficulty appears to be
shrouded with obscurities. In SUBJ
stance, however, it amounts to this:
George Gaul was ousted from the A.
F. M. on April l3, allegedly for with
holding information which the local
union demanded. Concurrently with
dismissing Gaul, the union officials de-
manded that he be withdrawn from
his post as personnel manager. Asso-
citation directors, however, promptly
rallied to the support of Gaul with the
declaration they would not renew the
contract for the 1936-37 orchestra
season unless the personnel manager
is reinstated to full membership In the
union. AS personnel manager, informa-
ton in Gauls hands was regarded as
confidential to the orchestra author
tiles and was not union property.
Orchestra May Disband.
Unless the two bodies reach agree
ment before next Fall, the orchestra
presumably will be disbanded. Union
rules forbid members from playing in
an orchestra which does not have a

six, running through the revised and
new de luxe 120 models and the new
super-eight to four-figure luxury for
the advanced twevle. the Packard line
for 1887 is the most comprehensive
IN this company's history. All four
lines carry out the traditional Packard
style motif, and are mechanically
similar in that every car in the four
groups features Safe-T-Flex inde-
pendent front-spring suspension and
hydraulic brakes. The advanced
twelve offers boosters for both braking
and clutch action.
The new six closely resembles the
120, but, with wheelbase Of l15 inches,
is inches shorter. The engine of the
lower-priced addition to the line has
displacement Of 237 cubic inches,
being similar to the 100 in design, ex-
cept that it is equipped with the new
Chandler-Groves downdraft carbu-
rotor. Two new seven-passenge
models of the 120 list at $3.50 and
Sl,840, with a wheelbaSe of 1873 inches.
The super-eight comes In Wheelbases
OF 127, l34 and 139 inches and is pow
cred by 135-horsepower engine OF
800 cubic inches displacement. Both
the lis and the 120 have the same
transmission. an improved 1895 gear
set used on the l20. Both cars have
semi-centrifugal clutches.
Included in the six Is the hypoid
type of final gear as used throughout
the entire Packard group. The same
can be said for the windshield de-
froSter, which is ingeniously built into
the base of the windshield. Wind
shields on the two lower-priced lines
are nearly a foot high. Each 1887
Packard carries Bendix two-shoe
hydraulic brakes with centrifuse drums
and all models are equipped with the
new Smith frame employing I-beam x
members instead of the channel type.

LINCOLN

To the traditional dignity Of Lin
coin styling have been added adj
vanced features for 1887, including
headlamps recessed in long. sweep
ing tenders. V-shaped windshield and
an all-metal roof top, which is claimed
to give the advantages of soft top
with the additional safety of the metal
roof. There are 81 body types, in
cluding the latest custom designs by
lie Baron, Judkins, Willoughby and
Brunn.
All the Lincolns for 1887 carry a
150-horsepower engine Of the "v''
type. Bodies are mounted on 1856
and 145-inch wheelbases. The length
and lower appearance Of the car are
accentuated by the curved rear deck.
while the door opening Is extended
to the running boards to provide
easier entrance to the car. Interiors
are completely new, and reveal unob-
trusive elegance. Instruments in the
modernistic panel are located directly
in front Of the driver.
. Lincoln has joined the group Of
luxury cars using hydraulic valve lift
ers. These automatically adjust them
selves and for that reason do not re-
quire resetting. The chief advantage
in this type of valve litter is that tap
pet noise is completely eliminated.

FORD

Bearing a striking resemblance to
the Lincoln-Zephyr, the new Ford V-8
for 1887 makes its appearance with
nose that is sharp and rakish like the
prov of speed boat. The upper part
of the radiator grille with its hori-
zontal louvres curves back toward the
hood which now lifts from the front
and is locked with the radiator en-
blem.
A unique feature of the Ford line
for 1887 is that it is offered with
choice Of two engines. One is the Co.
horsepower engine designed. to afford
maximum performance. Both are Of
V-8 design. All of the 1887 Fords are
powered exclusively by the 85-horse-
power engine, but in the standard
types buyers have their option of
either the so or the 85-horsepower
engines.
This year Ford appears with an all
steel body, including one-piece steel
top, steel structure, panels and floor
ing. The brakes are now actuated
through a cable-and-conduit system
with controlled self-energizing action.
They are said to give soft and easy
action. windshields are V-shaped,
being hinged at the top for convenient
opening. Engine refinements include
the use of cast alloy steel pistons, In
sert type main bearings and improved
cooling. Dual downdraft carburetion
and forced crankcase ventilation are
retained.
To the IL body types new club
coupe has been added. Five Of the
body types are available with either
engine and with or without de luxe
equipment, while the other six are
presented with de luxe equipment and
the 85-horsepower engine exclusively.

dan and the town limousine. widens
the field for the ultra-streanlined
Lincoln-Zephyr in its second year OF
existence. The new coupe modifes
the air-stream upper body treatment
of the six-passenger models and fea-
lures a divided seat back which, when
folded forward, gives access to large
luggage compartment. Like the other
three models it is powered by no.
horsepower Via engine, is. mounted
on a wheelbase of 122 inches, and
carries cable-co controlled, fully ener-
gized mechanical brakes.
In the 1887 Lincoln-zephyrs the
most important mechanical change is
the new steering system. Retained is
the unusual construction Of the car
whereby the usual chassis frame is
eliminated in favor Of body which
Is itself the chassis and to which the
running gear is attached. The trans
verse cantilever springs are mounted
forward of the front and back of the
rear axle. giving a spring base Of 1873
inches.
Smart new fittings and the divan-
type seats contribute to the cozy
atmosphere of the Zephyr interiors.
Star feature of the interior is the
new instrument panel, which includes
an inclosed grille reaching down to
the top of the transmission housing
This serves TO screen the installation
of a radio and a heater. Panel
and grille are done in the same color
as the body. Due to utilization of
this extra space, there is room for
two glove compartments on either
side Of the upper panel. All Zephyr
bodies are fitted with the special
Ford clear vision ventilating system.
Casement-type windows are used for
the rear quarter windows.
Externally, the bodies feature q
sharp-nosed radiator grille, with hori-
