ARCHIVES ROW
IS RENEWED

The struggle which has flared
since construction Of the stately
Archives Building, as to who will
keep the records, enjoyed new life
yesterday when r. D. w. Conner,
United States Archivist, moved to
acquire the records stored by the
House Of Representatives.
In a letter to Speaker Bankhead,
Conner pointed out that he has
been authorized to take over Sen
ate documents and also men,
toned the superior advantages Of
the Archives Building.
Contending that the records
would be more quickly available
to the House in the Archives
Building, Conner by innuendo
showed that he didn't think much
Of the Hou-e storeroom with its
leaky plumbing and animal In
habitantS.
The House was ominously silent.

DAYLIGHT TIME
BENEFITS TOLD
BY REP. SACKS

Tom Moore was quoted and
Benjamin Franklin's name invoked
last night by representative Leon
Stacks, Of Pennsylvania, chair

He told the radio audience:
Tom Moore, the beloved
Irish poet, in one Of his finer
moments wrote the following
Stanza, with which I wish to

CHOSE who oppose daylight
saving say that it will force
them to lose an hour Of sleep
In the cool Of the morning, and
force them to retire in the heat
Of the evening. That, to my
mind, il purely . psychological
reaction.
Scientists tell MS that light Is

ENJOY REST BETTER
He added:
"The idea it Is less healthy to
80 to bed an hour earlier In the

Psychological reaction. The first

WILLYS HEAD
Halls SAFETY
BY DAVID r. WILSON
President WHY'S Overland
Motors, Inc,

Any automobile of standard
Specifications and recent manu-.
facture is a safe car to drive. The
efforts of engineers and manufac-
turers have been steadily devoted
to the solving of all elements OF
control.
It is universally conceded that
the American-built motor car is
one of the most efficient Of all
means of transportation, and its
safety is at a high standard Of
efficiency.
Perfect four wheel brakes, safe
ty glass, oversize parts where
they are subject to unusual wear,
all,Steel bodies with solid steel
tops; those are only few of the
better known additions made to
serve safety alone during the past
two or three years.
Three factors having nothing to
do with the engineering Of the
modern motor car, are the chief
causes of accidents.
One is lack of needed attention
to the car at regular intervals.
Even requirements for normal
service have been greatly de-
creased, but brakes, regardless of
type, should be inspected at least
once each 5000 miles of driving.
Most brake adjustments are sim

this effort, revealing a constant
interest in developing new safety
factors and improving the old.
Engineers have experimented end
lessly in drafting rooms and lab
oratories, on proving grounds and
highways seeking new ways and
means to guard the safety Of
those who ride and drive.
A review of what has been
achieved through all this effort
presents an imposing story OF sue
cess. AS result, the automobiles
of today are far more safe to op-
crate than those Of just a few
years ago. They are easier to stop.
They respond more quickly in en-
ergencies. They hold the road
more securely.
One angle of this safety develop
ment of which many motorists are
not actively conscious is the de-
gree to which modern cars relieve
the driver of the dangerous effects
of driving fatigue. A few years
ago a trip of one or two hundred
miles frequently left the driver
physically exhausted. Today, with
well-fitting adjustable seats, vastly
improved lighting, finger tip
steering, and even no-draught ven
tilation, the motorist drives for
many hundred of miles in single
day without fatigue or the danger
that results from fatigue.

well again in 1888.
Whether the industry as a whole
can equal or better the unit volume
realized in 1897 is also problemati-
cal, but in wholesale-dollar volume
it likely will do better. In our own
generation, we have already made
a capital expenditure for plant ex-
panSion to increase our output by
a minimum of Is per cent over
1887.
Barring adverse factors not evi-
dent at this writing, we anticipate
no particular trouble in achieving
the increase.
The effect of general price In
creaSeS shows promise Of being
both favorable and adverse.
Looking at the negative angle
first, this merchandising funda-
mental has to be recognized: Any
price increase automatically elin1i-
mates from the new car prospect
group those people whose income
has not moved up a parallel
amount. A chart of the automo-
bile market is shaped like q pyra-
mid, with the highest priced cars
at the apex and the lowest priced
ones at the base. The lower the
new car prices the wider the mar
ket and the broader the base of the
pyramid. Conversely, the higher
the price, the narrower the base.

showed that the average reaction
and for women sos seconds. Ac-
cording to test drivers, even such
a split second difference has an
important effect on control Of a
car if blowout occurred at go
miles an hour. They also said
that the average gripping power
Of men-shown by the A. A. A. re.
port to be IS pounds greater than
for women-would count heavily
in keeping a car from swerving
after a blowout.
Under the excitement of a loud
and sudden noise, men showed
only a 2.9 per cent change in their
actions, while women exhibited a
4 per cent change, according to
the A. A. A. tests. In case of blow.

give men a considerable advan.

drastic changes In materials or
construction, possesses improved
workmanship, is more economical,
comfortable and beautiful, Is safer
and easier to operate than pre-
vious models.
The automobiles on display are
more modern throughout than the
1897 models. They are moro
streamlined, more dashing Of ap-
pearance. There is a marked

Jobs Increased
In Auto Plants

Employment in motor vehicle
and parts plants in 1896 gained
3 per cent over 1929 and the in
dustry'S employment stabilization
program succeeded in increasing
greatly the percentage Of en-
ployeS working 46 or more weeks
during the model year.
This resulted in an increase
over 1885 of II per cent in the
average individual annual earn
ingS of these steady" workers
and 81 per cent in the annual
earnings of all factory workers, &C
cording to the Automobile Manu-
facturers Association.
The Washington times., 1937-10-30

Preliminary tests of 10000 men
and women drivers conducted by
the American Automobile Associ-
alton show that men as a rule
have three advantages over wom-
en-, which expert test drivers say
would be in favor of men in case
of a blowout. These advantages
are: Greater strength, quicker re-
action time. and less disturbance
caused by sudden noises.
Proof that the average man
drives faster than the average
woman was found in the A. A. A.
survey, which disclosed that men
drivers claimed an average Of 47.4
miles per hour on the road, while
women drivers claimed an aver
age of 44.7 miles per hour.
Other tests conducted by the
American Automobile Association
time for men was .573 seconds.

Art Dealer Is Killed:
Girl Suspected

LOS ANGELES, Cal, June l..
AS agents Of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation we're checking on
the identity of a "Mr. Pine" al
legged dealer in fake art, in prep
aration to his arrest for question
ing when the S. S. Erehwon docks,
reports were received today that
that man was murdered in his
cabin.
Travelling with the murdered
man is a young woman, Eve Nicol,
who said she was Mr.. Pines secre-
tary. According to brief bulletins
received from the ship, finger
prints on the dead mans throat
are identical with the young
woman'S.
The captain of the S. S. Ere
hwon, of the Continental Shipping
Co., which is sailing to Los Angeles,
asked the F.. B. 1. to send an agent
to investigate threats which he had
received that a Raphael painting
placed in his care by the now dead
Mr.. Pine, would be stolen before
the ship left its last port.

HITLER FLAYED
IN BOSTON

BOSTON, June 1 (U.S).-Adolf
Hitler was denounced by Massa-

Memorial Day exercises in Boston
today.
Speaking at joint services of
five American Legion posts at Mt.
Hope Cemetery, Mattapan, Lieut..
Gov. Francis E. Kelley referred to
the German chancellor as "a man
mad with power"
He declared Hitler has unjusti.
fiably prosecuted Jews, Catholics,
and members of other religions
and has. forced the German peo-
pie to vote for him under threats
of death.
At the old Granary Burying
Ground, during exercises of the
Charitable Irish Society, Assistant
Corporation Counsel James A.
Dorsey called Hitler the Austrian
paper-hanger who offends all sense
of decency, and does violence to
that respect which all leaders and
governments should have for the
good opinion of mankind"
