Auto Firms Prepare
To Boost Output
As Spring Nears
Steady Rise in Activity
Expects to Stimulate
Other Industries
BY EDWARD w. MORRISON.
81 ecial Dispatch to The Star.

81 eclal Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT. March 4.-Cheerful
news to the rest of the country will
be tre fact that the automobile
companies are mapping plans for
a busy spring.
A steady rise in output may be eX-
pected during the next few weeks
a rise that will be reflected in or
ders to parts makers, purchases of
steel and rubber, heavier rail ship
ments from the factories. Just as
important. perhaps. is the attitude
of the sales division. They are
confident for the first time in a
year and half that they are going
to corral heavy run of orders in
the ensuing five months.
The manufacturers accept as a
forecast of favorable spring busi-
ness the recent sales figures from the
South. In that section, new cars
have been moving with more than
usual rapidity.
Shun Overproduction.
The manufacturers want. nothing
to do with overproduction. Sched-
ules sagged somewhat during the
last of February, as the factories
evened off to keep in step with sales.
The time is at hand, however, for
a readjustment. The necessary ex-
pansion in output may be gradual
during the remaining weeks of
March. BY April Is, it is safe to say,
assembly lines will have to be geared
much higher. if dealers are to avoid
an actual shortage of cars when the
spring rush arrives.
Generally speaking. dealers have
only nominal floor stocks. Pos .alv
more of them are understocked than
oversupplied.
Inventories Are Low.
They will enter the spring selling
season in better shape than they did
a year ago, when an organized cam
paign within the industry was
adopted as the only way to move the
heavy accumulation of used cars.
Constant emphasis on used car op-
portunities lightened the dealer
burden this winter. Used car trans
portations we're, on the whole, above
expectations, and, compared with a
year ago, showed even a larger per-
centage of increase than new car
sales.

Lansburoh's-Elsctric Refrigerators- Floor
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-09

August Is the infant calendar month. It was the last month to "arrive" in the calendar. It took Q dictator to put 1t there.
 The ancient Romans reckoned time from the date of the supposed founding of Rome, presumably in the year 753 B. 0. The Roman year was divided into 10 months. After the conquest of Egypt. Julius Caesar, in 46 B. O., adopted for Roman use the Egyptian calendar, which had 12 months, making some changes in the lengths of the months. The sixth month of this calendar was called Sextilis, from the Latin meaning "six." Mark An- tony, to honor Julius Caesar, had named the fifth month July. For merly 1t was Quintilis meaning fifth" Julius Caesar had made his nephew, Gaius Julius Caesar Octa- viannus. his heir and adopted son. When Octavianus finally succeeded to the throne of the Caesars and was made Emperor, the Roman Senate gave him the title of Augus- tus, meaning venerable or revered.
 As July had been named for his uncle, Augustus decided that there must be Q month named for him. Although he was born in Septem- Der, he chose the month after his uncle's month, as the one that should bear his name. The decree of the Roman Senate in formally naming the month Augustus
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-09
Here's How It Started
HOW AUGUST GOT INTO THE CALENDAR
By Alice Hunter Haffey, Staff Writer Waterbury Democrats Washington Service Bureau

reads: "Whereas the Emperor Augustus Caesar, in the month of Sextilis, was first admitted to the consulate and thrice entered the city in triumph, and in the same month the legions from Janiculum placed themselves under his auspices, and in the same month Egypt was brought under the au- thority of the Roman people, and in the same month an end was brought to the Civil Wars, and whereas for these reasons the said month is and has been most for tunate to this empire, it is here- by decreed by the Senate that the said month shall be called Angus tus."
 The Anglo-Saxon name for the month was Weod-monath, or the month when the weeds fiourished; the word weed" supposedly signi- flying vegetation in general, al- though in its early form its deriva- ton is unknown.
 The flower for the month is the Poppy, which means consolation, and the gem for the month is Sar- donyx, which according to the an- cients, was supposed to render its possessor virtuous, cheerful and agreeable. The moonstone, regarded as 6 potent love charm, is also des- ignated as the stone of the month. The old rhyme carries this latter meaning further.

comparison in any degree with the magnitude of the trial of this case" The accused, he pointed out to the jury, are not before them on an indictment of the grand jury which made the investigation of their actions.
 McDonough referred to the grand jury's witnesses as parrots" say- ing, "rhe grand jury heard this wonderful group of parrots and then they didn't indict."
 "No grand jury is expected to in- dict on the testimony of perjurers," continued McDonough, bringing in the names of Edward G. Levy, Charles E. Williamson and Harry Mackenzie, all state witnesses, ac- cused with those on trial for con- spiracy.
 "It's time someone told this jury the truth" said McDonough.
 If the grand jury didn't indict them how does this man (pointing to Alcorn) expect you to find them guilty beyond . reasonable doubt?" he demanded.
 His baritone voice booming in volume, McDonough, pointing his finger at the jury cried, We want a verdict, let no one fool you. And there can be but one verdict on the evidence In this case, and that is Q verdict of not guilty.
 T say that from the bottom of my heart-on behalf of my friend and client, Tommy Kelly" he added.
 It was at that point that Me- Donough made his most caustic at- tack on Levy, who has testified for the state that he kicked back more than $100,000 to Thomas P, Kelly, under the alleged guise of Q light ing survey contract.
 Ducking Prison
 T say this," he said, because the case against Kelly is on the basis of evidence of the most disreputable member of the Connecticut Bar, whom I hope won't be a member long. At this very moment he is ducking the doors of federal pri- son with the air of the prosecution. ?
 In this statement, McDonougt was referring to claims of defense that Levy made deal with Alcorn testifying for the state in return for safety from prosecution for alleged Justification of income tax returns.
 Because of the type of evidencs they presented" McDonough said warming up to the situation against Tommy Kelly, he is entitled to walk out of these doors as Q fret man and not go to prison"
 Praises Jury
 Previously. McDonough had prais' ed the jury and congratulated then for their promptness and patienc' throughout the lengthy trial. HI called to their attention the fac that they were the first jury of | men and women to hear Q case fl Connecticut.

The articles were written in a

tism is not native with the Negro,
but an outgrowth of bitterly re-
voting economic conditions. They
make it clear that the Jewish peo-
pie must see the similarity of their
plight to that of the Negro, and
treat the Negro citizen with the
understanding that a similarly
prosecuted minority can we'll af-
