Efficiency, Costs
OfCdrrierS Are
Questioned

G.N.S.) The National Bitum,
inous Coal Commission today
asked the Interstate Commerce
Commission to initiate at the
earliest practical time an ex-
haustive general investigation of
the operating efficiency and econ
omy Of the railroads.
The coal commission said that
during the course of such an in
vestigation all opportunities for
more adequate, efficient and eco.
nomical service to the public and
for reductions in railroad trans
portation costs can be explored,
adding:
"Such a general investigation
is necessary because. if trans
portation service cost is to be
accorded more weight than any
other rate-making factor, as the
railroads contend, IN general
rate cases, the melting out Of
fundamental justice by the ICC
requires, and the producers and
consumers of bituminous coal
have the right to expect, that
those costs shall be kept at the
minimum compatible with ade-
quate, efficient and economical
service"
The Coal Commission asked the
ICC not to authorize continuance

after December 81, the date when
they are now scheduled to expire

BUICK ORDERS
PEAK PROGRAM

FLINT, Mich, Nov. Q.N.S0.
A capacity program for the next
two months was ordered by the
Buick division of General Motors
Corporation today, to step up pro
duction sufficiently to meet a
50,000-car increase in planned out
put of 1899 models.
The plan calls for production of
$4,000 cars before the end of the
year and a total of 260. 900 units
for the full model year.
Division President Harlow W.
Curtice declared:
"The next two months will
see the Buick, plants in Flint
operating virtually at capacity
and employment at a peak for
the year Usually heavy de-
mand for the new models has
necessitated further upward re-
vision of production schedules
and a revamping of our man
ufacturing plans for the COM
ing year, looking to the output
of some $4,000 more cars than
were originally projected and a
sales program contemplating a
so per cent increase over the
1888 season.
I'VE have passed our 1899
model index to 26O 600 cars, of
which 100000 are expected to
be required for domestic con.
sumption. with export and Can
adam shipments requiring at
least another 10000"
The Washington times., 1938-11-01

are all surprised. Buick, the
first of the G. M. cars to be out,
has brought very big sales.
Dealers are also responding en-
Enthusiastically to our other lines.
Production schedules are having
to be materially raised"
USED CAR DROP
He declares that not only are
used car stocks down more than
anticipated earlier in the season,
but the total of new 1888 models
on dealers floors is extraordinarily
low.
Grant has just returned from
formulating, in conjunction with
other executives. a spectacular eX-
hibit for the World Fair. This
sales Napoleon long has been recog-
nized as a master Snowman" be-
cause of his many dramatically
staged exhibits. G. MS Parade
of Progress, which tours the
country, has attracted literally
millions of visitors.
Starting today, Buick is raising
output to 1900 cars daily. Presi-
dent Harlow H. Curtice assured
me:
I'VE have no unemployment
among Buick workers in Flint.
Whereas our share of the total
busiess was only 512 per cent
two years ago, we very COM
fortably gained fourth place in

3 NASH MODELS
BOW TO PUBLIC

Restyled from bumper to bump
er four series of cars, with %
models ranging in price from $770
to $1,235 were presented to the
public today by Nash Motors.
All of the 1899 cars follow new
conception of the modern stream
line motif in design and have a
longer, lower, wider and racier
appearance than in past years,
One of the foremost new fea-
lures, according to w. A. Blees,
general sales manager, is the
weather Eye" conditioned air
system for winter driving. With
a simple dial motorists can tune
in the kind of climate they de-
sire inside their car. A thermo.
stat keeps the desired tempera-
ture constant even in a blizzard.

priced series of cars, will have

Simplified motor designed also is
used in the Nash medium-priced
cars-the Ambassador Six and
Ambassador Eight-but they will
be twin ignition, valve-in-head
motors as they were last year.
On the rear of all Nash chassis
will be a new super shock alb
sorber, 40 per cent longer than
that used last year. A remote
control gear shifter, located or
the steering column, will be op
tional on all cars.
The new body design gave Nash
engineers an opportunity to widen
bodies as much as four inches

Aviations, coppers, rubbers and

new SEC RULES
Joint Plan Is Result
of Whitney Thefts

U.N.SD SEC and New York
Stock Exchange officials today
plunged into the task of starting
newly created machinery for pro
tecting the nations investors
through stricter supervisor OF
brokers and individuals doing busl-
ness in the vast oVer-the-counteI
securities market.
A giant program designed to
prevent REPETITION OF the, financial
activities brought to light in the
investigation of Richard Whitney
was announced Yesterday by
Commission Chairman William 0.
Douglas.
LOOPHOLES CLOSED
The program. formulated by the
SEC and the New York Stock
Exchange tightens both Federal
end exchange regulation of broker
age firms and their personnel,
and would close loopholeS that
permitted Whitney to engage in
questionable financial operations
for a considerable period before
discovery.
Among the principal points of
the plan are more thorough in
spection of brokerage financial
records through periodic audits;
the requirement that brokerages
must form special subsidiaries If
they wish to underwrite or deal
in securities, and the creation of
an official depository to handle
store and deliver securities OF
brokerage customers.
OUTLINED IN REPORT
The program was outlined in
the second of three SEC reports on
the investigation of Whitney. for
mer president who is serving a
prison sentence for theft of securi-
ties entrusted to him.

GOLD COMPARISON

by far, the greatest gold field II
the worlds history. It's chic

gigantic industry.
But President D. S. EddinS, oi
Plymouth Motors, furnishes thi:
vivid comparison:
The richest gold field-that
of South America-So far has
produced total value in gold of
appro ximately $1,000, 0,000, 900.
Compare this with the $1,000,
100000 paid out in wages alone
since 1900 to the men who built
the automobiles and made the
glass, steel and rubber that
went into them.

Contrasted with the Ford, Gen

the biggest of the gold mines seem

HUDSON'S PROGRESS
In its 80 years, Hudson had
built and sold 2,573,516 motor cars
up to a month age. Recent re-
employment has increased its
weekly pay envelopes to above
10000, and plans call for q 12,-
900 total in the very near future,
as "actuai sales f;om week to
week." reports Vice President
William R. Tracy, "are showing
a steady and rapid increase"
Hudson has applied for patents
for auto-poise cont1ol, an inven-
ton introduced on all new models
which causes wheels to hold
their true course automatically,
even on rough roads and in heavy
side windS-even with tire blow
outs, there is practically no varia-
ton from the true course" Air
foam cushions also are featured.
Detroit, though still under-em-
ployed, is definitly on the way up.
