Jailing and deportation for
alien Communists and prosecu-
ton of citizens for subversive &C
tivities was advocated in a reso-
luton presented at a meeting of
Vincent B. Costello Post, Amer
lean Legion, in Pythian Temple

The resolution was referred to
the committee on resolutions, to
be presented to the post at its
meeting in two weeks. 1t is be-
lieved by members that the reso-
luton will be passed by large ma
jority.
The resolution cited a speech
by William z. Foster, made in
his campaign for Earl Browder,
1885 Communist presidential can,
didate, in which Foster said that
the Reds would take over the
Government of the United States
and that Red army would back
the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat.

Toby WingtO Wed
'Pinky' TOmlin,
Film Singer

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Nov. 18.
Toby Wing, of Richmond, Va,
one of Hollywood's younger stars,
announced her engagement last
night to "Pinky" Tomlin, screen
actor, composer and singer, at a
gay party at the Club Casanova.
The announcement came as a
complete surprise to the movie
colony. Miss Wing once was re-
ported engaged to Ebert Frank
lin, son of Harold B. Franklin,
theatrical executive. That was
in the early days of the career
of the young blonde actress
when she was struggling for
recognition. She vowed in those
days she would never marry un-
til she became a star.
Her big chance came in Eddie
Cantor's, "The Kid From Spain, "
Toby'S skillful dancing won her
nationwide fame. During the
ensuing years her earlier ro-
nance faded as she devoted all
her attention to climbing higher
on the ladder of stars. Not un-
til yesterday was she even sus-
pected of being in love.

AUTO SHOW RECALLS BIG RACE
SPONSORED BY TIMES IN 1907

You could make all Of 20 or 80
miles an hour! But, of course,
there were some hills you just had
to avoid.
Mr.. Lutz was the Washington
dealer in 1907 for the Oldsmobile,
Packard, Buick, Pierce Arrow and
Studebaker Electric. One of his
achievements in those days was a
1,000-mile nonstop run through
the streets of Washington. 1t was
easy, for there were only a few
hundred automobiles in the whole
city, and traffic was not problem.
But it had tc be a good car to run
that far without mechanical
trouble.
Peak Not Reached
What of the future? Mr.. Lutz
looked back 80 years, reviewed in
his mind the progress made by
the automobile and the roads
over which it travels, and Solilo-
quized:
'NO, I don't think the auto
mobile has reached its limits.
We have not yet arrived at the
SaturatiOn point in the use of
cars, nor can believe the auto
mobiles of the future will not
be further improved. But the
big thing l see ahead is lower
prices"
The Washington times., 1936-11-18

Well, folks, it was quite an
event. The Washington Times
was offering a silver cup to each
finisher, and the owners and driv-
ers Of the cars entered in the
great Sealed Bonnet Contest"
from Washington to Frederick, FL
licott City, Baltimore and back to
Washington got up early that
morning to give the cars a final
inspection before the hoods were
sealed. That was in 1907.
Twelve of them finished in per
feet condition. How many fell by
the wayside has been forgotten,
but j. A. Lutz, of 1912 Monroe St.,
who represented the makers of
five of the then best known cars
in the market, recalls driving
four-cylinder Packard costing $4,-
600, and finished. The run was
made on December 10, 1907, over
dirt and rocky macadam roads.
And what a run it was!
The Good Old Days
You could ruin a new car "dem-
onstrating" it between here and
Frederick, Mr.. Lutz recalls. He
got to thinking about conditions of
80 years ago as he looked over the
1887 models at the auto show.
Six, eight and IL cylinders! Prices
from $400 or $500 for SKIES and
eights, to two or three thousand
for the best twelves! And 1r.
Lutz's 1906 Packard, which never
did have a top nor windshield
and on which even the magnetic

He had a two-cylinder Buick in
those days, too. 1t cost $1,320 de-
livered in Washington. But it had

lamps and high-perched seat for
