EXCITING SEA TALE
Preston Foster plays Lieu
tenant Drake, placed in COM
mand of one of these tubs, an
efficient officer who has been
denoted for cause, and who
takes his lesser assignment with
out grumbling.
One of his problems is putting
true Navy spirit into young
Perry Townsend (played by
Richard Greene) playboy who
thinks his money ought to
count on ship board. With
the help of j. Farrell MacDon-
aid, Warren Hymer and some of
the other hard boiled and sea-
soned sea dogs, young Town
send eventually becomes a
credit to the ColorS.
Romance bobs up IN one of
it's pl as a n t manifestations,
when young Townsend meets

Kelly, daughter of a tramp

veteran suspects ToWnSend'S in
tentions, and they have several
lively encounters. Finally Cap
tain Leeds George Bancroft,
finds Perry wants to ring the
wedding bells and all's well.
VETERANS SCORE
When the sub chaser puts to
sea, and gets secret orders to
wipe out an enemy nest of U
boats, excitement creeps into the
action. The base is heavily pro
tected with mines, and land
fortresses, with the valor of the
crew tested before this naval en-.
gagement brings about a glori-
GUS victory for Uncle Sam.

Some communities and some
States go to extremes in offering

been the objective.

DETROIT, Oct. 10 UN.s).
Good business through Christmas
will mean good business for the
automobile industry for the re
mainder Of the 1899 model year,
Statistician Alfred H. Ward said
today.
And, he added, good business
for the year means a four-millton
car production schedule and a
small reduction Of the six and one
half million car replacement de-
mand built up during the depres-
sion years.
G. M. SPEARHEAD
Commenting on the back to
work movement that was spear.
headed yesterday by Alfred p.
Sloan's announcement in New
York that General Motors Cor
poration is rehiring $4,000 workers.
Ward said:
"If this unemployment brings
back most of the men left idle
by the recession and if they are
kept at work until after Christ
mas, there is no reason why the
industry will not push far ahead
Of last year.
THE buying power Of the
country comes from labor. Right
now the laboring man is in
pretty bad shape. He has been
idle for months, owes for rent.
food and lots Of other things. I
think he needs about so days
of steady work to put him back
on his feet. That means steady
work until Christmas.
WILL CONTINUE THEN
AFTER that, the momentum
will begin to show, the working
man will be able to buy things
he wants rather than being
forced to spend most Of his
money paying bills, and the au-
tomobile industry, along with
business generally, viii be car
ried on to good year.
'I am predicting a three-and-
a-half-to-four million Car year,
because don't think anything
will develop before Christmas to
check employment. The auto
mobile industry is more healthy
than at any time since the de-
preston, and I believe business
generally is in good condition to
go forward.
EXPECTS 4 MILLION CARS
my production prediction "a
vors the four!million mark over
the three-snd-a-half-millio fig
ure."
Ward said the industry is
healthy because dealers stocks
are down to almost an all-time
low.
"The $4,000 dealers in the
country" he said, now have
100000 new cars in stock, not
taking into consideration ad-
vance shipments Of the new
models. This means approx
mately two cars per dealer,
which leaves the retailers in fine
condition to begin the new.
model year."

BUILDING, LOAN
GROUP PLANNING.
TRIP TO CHICAGO
{. C. BaItz to Retire as
Leagues President
BY RICHARD r. BAKER, JR.

Edward C. Baltz, who will retire
as president Of the United States
Building and Loan League next
month, will lead a delegation of
more than 40 local members to
the Chicago convention, it was
indicated. yesterday at the meet
ing of the executive council of
the District league at the Raleigh
Hotel.
The local building-loan execu-
tive was recently elected American
vice president of the World Council
and for that reason will relinquish
his post in the national group.
The unusually large delegation
that will go to the Chicago con-
vention will be q personal tribute
to him.
It was announced by Arthur G..
Bishop, head Of Perpetual Build
ing and president Of the local
group, that the National Build
ing and Loan League will be in
vited to hold its next convention
in washington and the large dele
cation is expected to exert a strong
influence on the convention in
making its choice.
HOUSING ABROAD
C. Clinton James, who accom-
panied Mr.. Baltz to the Zurich,
Switzerland, conference and who
was elected to the World Council,
gave an interesting report ON houS-
ing conditions abroad and was
strong in his praise of the prog
reSS made by Great Britain in i'm
proved housing.
He informed the local group
that the international organiza-
ton expects to hold its next meet
ing in an American city. Since the
organization meets every three or
four years. it Is considered prob
able that the next meeting will be
in 1912, marking the fiftieth an
of the founding of the
United States Building and Loan
League.

RAILS ADVANCE,
IN FAST TRADING
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 QN.S).
The stock market today failed to
hold an opening extension Of yes
terday's late rally on the General
Motors employment news, the list
turning irregular.
Strength in rail shares was the
outstanding development, tn e
group being bolstered by q grow
ing belief at least some reduction
in wages will be granted by the
fact-finding board.
Trading continued at a fast
pace. The ticker ran 3 minutes
late at the opening, as several
large blocks Of stock changed
hands, topped by $4,000 shares OF
Curtiss-Wright. First-hour sales
amounted to 100000 shares.
/ Aside from gains of as much as
2 points in the active rail group,
price changes to either side of last
nights cloSingS were generally of
modest proportions. Steels were
particularly soft. Motors en-.
countered profit-taking after their
spectacular advance late yeSter-
day.
Building stocks and oils were
relatively steady, but coppers, cleo
trical equipments and avistionS
eased moderately.
STEELS TAKE DROP
United States Steel, Youngs-
town and Bethlehem in the steelS;
General Motors and Chrysler in
the motors; American Smelling
and Anaconda in the coppers;
Westinghouse Electric; American
Can; Montgomery Ward in the
mail orders; Douglas in the avia-
tionS, and United States Rubber
were among the stocks to drop
a point or more.
Santa Fe led the strong rail
group. climbing better than 2
points at one time. Chesapeake
g. Ohio and Great Northern pre-"
ferred each advanced more than a
point. Fractional gains were shown
in the building division by Johns
Manville and American Radiator.
Eastman Kodak was up 2 for q
time.
Commodities were quiet and
little changed.

Wilkins Coffee Ads AGAIN Judged Best

The wilkins Coffee Company's
newspaper advertising has been
adjudged the worlds best for cof-
fee and tea for the third consecu-
tive year, 1t was announced today.
National Ad-Views, q publication
devoted to the study of all news
The Washington times., 1938-10-19

have deliberately set out to gain
their ends by force. They have
sought to profit by building up
their armies and war equipment
to a point where they could hold
I'D" other nations with impunity.
And a number of successful hold
UPS have been staged.
Now the time is coming When
other nations are going to put
themselves in a position to resist.
This means that in the future
there will not be much fun or
profit in the international saber-
rattling game.
"RELIEF" ABSURDITIES
It is much as if some individual
we're to be the only one to equip
himself with a gun, and were then
to 60 out and enjoy himself In a
lucrative series of robberieS. In
due course, however, other 1ndl-
viduals arm themselves, which
spoils the play, and for a while
everybody returns to peaceful and
really profitable pursuits.
When everybody does 1t, you
see, the holdup game loses its at
traction. It cannot be general1zed.
Thus, in due course, I hope that
extreme nationalism will be re
duced to an abSurdity.
Somewhat similar is the WPA
system of work relief" in this
country, and, for reasons given be-
low, 1 hope that the time is not
distant when we will all see the
abSurdity of the scheme.
ECONOMY HELD UP
What it amounts to is that
economy is held up by politics.
Voters are invited to become un-
employed, and are rewarded for
their votes by being given little
work" at high pay. The whole
thing is becoming more and more
like the old Roman system OF
largess. More and more openly,
Government officials Gin their Ca
pacities as party workers. use the
WPA as a political machine: and
Hopkins gains on Farley as the
Number One presidential adviser.
But is there to be no end to this
"work relief" racket? Are we to
20 on and and on and on, until
all of us are in the WPA army?
In that very question, you have
your answer. When everybody is
in the WPA, it will oe reduced to
an absurdity. We will see the sad
Joke. Then we will vote it out.
WEALTH FADING
Most people have heard of the
island where everybody lived by
taking in everybody else's wash
ing! CA put in his time washing
B's clothes, and B did the same as
A. How do you think that Sys-
tenn would work out?
You see, we can't live on clothes
and nothing else, and in order to
provide the food. housing and
thousands of articles we use, most
of us must put in our time pro
ducing goods which others de
mand. We can't geaeralize the
mutual washing-club scheme.
