MOVES TO REDUCE
USED CAR TOTAL
Chevrolet to Pay Dealers
$40 for Each Worn.out
Auto Turned In.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, January 9.-The ac-
cumulation Of used cars continues to
plague the motor car industry. Re
viving plan initiated several years
ago by the Ford Motor Co., the Chew
rolet unit Of General Motors has
started a campaign to speed to the
junk heap vehicles that have outnved
their usefulness as well as safety.
The plan calls for payment to DEAL
ers Of $40 for each old car accepted
as part payment on a new one or one
of greater potential future usefulness
The project follows generally the
terms of the plan first introduced by
the Ford company. but it is being
watched with renewed interest at
present, in view of the used car ac-
emulation and the safe-driving cam
paigns now under way in various Sec
tions of the country.
Several hundred thousand worn-out
cars were put through the salvage
line at the Ford Rouge plant here be-
fore the plan was discontinued. While
1t was in operation, many cars so old
they could be matched only in Ford's
own museum of transportation were
brought to the huge parking lot where
scrap metal and other salvage ma
terial was stacked.
In the present revival of the plan.
Chevrolet has set aside a fund Of
S1,000.000 to finance the project for
one month. While 1t is intended only
to endure from January to 81, its
operation probably will have a marked
bearing on the industry's plans for
dealing with the used car problem
during the coming year.
The accumulation of used cars was
so rapid with the Fall introduction of
new models that the distribution di-
vision in some instances had to de-
cline to accept models more than three
or four years old. At the same time
producers joined distributors in an
active drive to sell the better condi-
toned used vehicles.
One volume producer reported the
drive on used cars SO successful that
nearly $4,000 of them were cleared out

SOCIAL SECURITY
CHANGES STUDIED
Board Officials Told to Offer
Suggestions for Amend
ing Act.

The Social Security Board is giving
consideration to the possibility Of
amending the social security act.
At an executive session yesterday
afternoon, the first since John G..
Winant returned to the Craftsmanship.
the various officials of the organization
were instructed to report within the
next month any suggestions they might
have for changing the law.
There have been several suggestions
for revision from outside the board,
and at the ONCE Of Senator Clark,
Democrat, of Missouri, it was said an
effort likely would be made again In
the next Congress to exempt from the
act those private concerns operating
their own pension systems.
A similar view was taken at the Of
hce Of Senator King, Democrat, of
Utah, who last session headed a joint
congressional committee in pressing
for the Clark bill providing such ex-
emption. King was expected to call
an early meeting Of the committee with
regard to the bill. which has its ap-
plicability on the old-age benefit phase
of the act which now is being put into
operation.
There also has been some sentiment
for changing the set-up of this old
age retirement fund, which ultimately
is expected to reach nearly so billion
dollars. Much Of the criticism directed
against the act has centered on the
potential size of this fund and even
friends of the measure have opposed
creation on such a vast scale.
Another change in the act that has
been given some study would guard
States enacting unemployment insur-
ance legislation next year from losing
their share of this years unemploy-
ment insurance taxes.
Senator Harrison, Democrat. Of
Mississippi, chairman of the Finance
Committee. said yesterday that he ex-
pected only minor revisions in the
social security system.
As plans went forward today for
enrolling next week 26,000.000 work.
ers for old-age benefits, the Business
Advisory Council called on employers
throughout the country to cooperate
wholeheartedly in the program. To-
day is the dealine for the return to

cations. listing the number of their
employees, and the applications for the
employees, under which each will be
given an account number, 60 out
