AUTO BUILDERS FACE ODD JOBS
CATERING TO FOREIGN BUYERS

DETROIT, May 90 UP)-Back
beyond where concrete superhigh-
ways are an undreamed luxury,
American automobiles built to the
strange specifications of their for
eign owners are travelling through
mountains, valleys and deserts.
A whimsical person, with the in
clination (and the money! to own
an automobile with upholstery to
match his wife's bedroom slippers

cas- leading mass production in

bill
Kings, queens. dictators. presi-
dents, mandarins and maharajas
are riding today IN custom built
cars on highways far from Ameri-
can main streets. 1t is the task
of automobile corporations export
divisions TO cater to the needs
and fancieS of this specialized cli-
entele.
In the near East, for example,
Chevrolet has designed a special,
seven passenger car with a glass
partition between the front and
rear sections. An American citizen
can't buy seVen-paSSenger Chevy
In open market, but a sheik finds
that no stumbling block.
If the same Chevrolet were to be
sold to a wealthy maharajah, how
ever, the salesman would lose a
customer if the car were yellow
Yellow is taboo in India, and one
ruler Of large pricnipality there
was particular TO satisfy the fas-
tidious desires of his maharanee.
She wanted a Packard, but it
had to match her dress slippers,
which were a delicate peach-bloS-
som shade. One slipper was sent
to Detroit as a sample. 1t was
found that the cloth for the body
trim could be obtained from a spe-
cial mohair fleece found only in
an Himalayan mountain district.
1t was procured. Special looms were
necessary to weave the fabric and
it took dye experts a month to
match the slippers srade.
The automobile ordered haG to be

! an absolute white. No yellow pig
ment. as is customary in this coun-
try, could be mixed in the paint
to give it tone. 1t had to be white,
and it had to be white on the top,
bottom and sides. No chromium, no
stripe-just white.
Foreign traffic regulations re-
quire variations in equipment that
must be complied with.
In one large Eastern empire, for
example, two sets of brakes are
required. General Motors satisfies
that need by making automobiles
with a transmission and a hand
brake. In France, only amber col
ored bulbs can be burned in head
lights, while several European
countries require special lights for
high-speed night driving. In Eng
land, right wheel steering is a re-
quirement.
Delivery of automobiles at
times is the most difficult problem.
The wife of the Shah of Persia
recently ordered a standard Pack
ard, but insisted it must not be
driven until it reached her. The
automobile was Grated and ship
ped to the Mediterranean. 1t was
landed at Haifa, 90 miles from Naz-
areth in Palestine, where a mill
tary escort took charge. The Grated
machine was placed in truck.
taken to Damascus, across the Syr-
ian desert to Bagdad, then the
width of Iraq and across the Eu-
pirates river and the mountains
until it finally reached Teheran,
the capital of Persia. 1t came the
whole distance without once being
on its own wheels.
Two mining engineers located on
mesa 5000 feet above sea level
in Colombia, South Amrica, order
ed car. 1t had to be diSaSsembled
and loaded on burroS. The body
was slung between two of the tan
dem -hitched animals, at two points
on the precariouS, mountain trail
the burros, the motor parts and all
had to be swung out across space
to get around a corner. DerrickS
were needed for the feat. When
completely assembled atop its. new
home, the Car could only be driven
on the 80 miles of highway avail
able.
A wealthy Shanghai merchant
recently ordered the most eXpen-
sive standard model Packard he
could buy. 1t was delivered and for
months never came in for service.
The dealer, Mark Moody, formerly
of Kalamazoo, Mich, became Gu
rious. He found that the merchant,
once a year, packed up the fam
lily, drove ten miles to the ceme-
terry and ten miles back. The car
was then lacked up; covered for
another year.
A Chinese Mandarin some years
ago purchased an expensive Am
erican automobile. He had it car
ried to his palace in in
ner Mongolia on the backs of COO
lies. The automobile was assembled
in the throne room and each af-
ternoon at a specified time, he
climbed into the rear seat and
ordered his attendants to push the
car the length of the room and
back. The engine never needed an
ounc of gasoline. 1t never was
started!

CITIZENS Die
8 Executed, 6 Sentenced

MOSCOW. Aug. 81. (UP)-
Eight more persons were put to
death in the Soviet "blood purge"
it was reported yesterday, while
six agricultural leaders were sem
fenced to death and "a others
were sent to trial for counter
revolutionary acts against the So
Wet republic.
The newspaper "Rabochi" of
Minsk, in western Russia, report
ed that eight "Trotskyist- Rightist-
DiversioniSts' were executed aft
er they were found guilty of poi
soning foodstuffs and setting fire
to barracks and warehouses of the
Red army.
The alleged members of coun-
ter-revolutionary Rightist band
were convicted near Leningrad on
charges of conspiring to disrupt
collective farming, diseredit col
lectivization and the Soviet gov
ernment itself among the peasan-
try, and revive capitalism.
An official communique said the
defendants destroyed machinery,
poisoned fodder and interfered
with cattle breeding.
Included in those condemned
were the president of the central
executive committee of the Os-
trovsky region, the woman direc-
tor of a machine tractor station,
Nina Mikhailova; one agronomist
and three managers of collective
farms.

seen, on which rests sledge

principal pursuits and resources
of the state. In front of the rock
and the hunter, as if just laid
down by the latter and ready, to

two hunters rifles, crossed and
