AUTO FIRMS END
BIG YEAR QUIETLY
Production Will Show Gain
OF Nearly II Per Cent
Over 1896 Mark,
Srecial Dispatch to The Star.


DETROIT. Dec. 29.-No one max.
ing the rounds in Detroit during the
past two months would have suspected
that the automotive industry was lust
winding up the second biggest year
in Its history, according to the current
issue OF American Machinist.
One would have assumed that We
were back in 1888. Yet, the industry
will not miss the 5000, ,000-car mark
by more than around 10000 units-a
IL per cent increase over 1896. And
it looks now as if 3750,0O0 to 1000. 900
is reasonable production for 1888.
II business picks up materially the
totals might 60 even higher.
In the meantime the industry Ia
starting to look ahead Aggressive
used-car selling campaigns are the
order OF the day, since sales executives
know they have to get the relatively
high used-car stocks Oh dealers floors
before new-car selling can take Z
sizable impetus
Confidence Regained.
THAT the industry Is regalning its
lost confidence in the immediate fu-
ture, is evidenced by the interest it
is displaying in projected housing
programs. Ford, for instance, is
planning the erection OF some 1000
loW-cost homes for workers near the
Rouge plant, on Ford property. The
project will be undertaken by the Ford
Foundatlon, non-profit organization.
which runs Ford's Greenfield Village
and the Ford Museum on a business
basis. With the Ford technique of
mass production applied to this hous-
ing project, the houses, it is expected,
will cost something less than s2.5Oo
each to build.
General Motors and Chrysler are
also interested in housing. General
Motors feels that it will need new
housing in several localities. This
Diesel plant-far out of Detroit's CEN
ter-is one location, and apparently
several hundred houses may be built
in that vicinity. Another hundred
loW-cost houses are scheduled for
Pontiac. General Motors itself is not
sponsoring the developments. but Is
reported lending willing hand.
Labor Situation Better.
"Chrysler, having taken over the
property of the former Wills st. Clair
Co. in Marysville. Mich. needs houA.
ing facilities there for maximum use.
fulness of the plant. Apparently ie
is going to get them, sponsored, re-
portedly, by an organiza ton headed
by Harold Wills, former Wills St. Clair
chief. who has been associated with
the Chrysler corporation for q number
Of years now.
Part of the better feeling Is due
to the somewhat improved labor sit
uation. The U. A. w. is still making
a good show Of its attempt to organize
Ford workers, but the show is largely
for public and u. A. w. membership
consumption. 1t has produced prac-
tlcally no tangible results.
"Autostroy, the Soviet engineering
organization at Dearborn, has been
responsible the past 10 days for tho
purchase of equipment by Amtorg for
production OF new six-cylinder car
IN Russia. The total expenditure L.
reported to be about $4,000, ,o00."

J pitched himself toward and
away from the bushes all in
one afternoon as the Nationals carved
out their first victory Of the Grapefruit
League season today by downing the
Cardinals of st. Louis, TO 4, in
10 rounds.
For six innings it wasn't much fun
because the Washingtons were LEADING
by 3 to and the National Leagues
famed Gas House gang was being
stopped cold by Jimmy De Shong and
Joe Cascarella. Then, when Linke
took up the pitching, things began
to happen as follows:
l. The Cards tied the score bv
staging a three-run rally in the
seventh inning, and, in the process,
waited a mythical railroad ticket to
Chattanooga before Mr.. Llnke's eyes.
2. Washington came back and took
a 4-3 lead in the eighth.
3. The Gas House gang tied the
score in the same inning with a prodr-
giouS home run by Frenchy Borda-
garay, erstWhile member in good
standing Of the Brooklyn screwbaus.
4. Rookie Taft Wright got konked
on the head by a fast ball thrown
by Rookie Morton Cooper of the
Cards.
5. Washington went berserk in the
tenth inning and scored four runs.
6. Mr.. Linke held lead, won after
all, and the Mats wound up with
catcher, Walter Miles, playing the
