Cuts Spoil
Big Year
For Autos
BY THEORODE A. HUNTLEY

WASHINGTON. Aug. 28.-It is
the automobile industry's hard
luck that production cuts are or
dered by OPM and OPACS in the
midst OF what promised TO be a
banner year for sales.
Government figures on con-
sumner financing in connection
with car purchases. just released
by the Census Bureau, show all
records smashed for the first six
months of 1871.
Volume of financing ran so per
cent ahead Of the same period of
1910 while the number OF trans
actions was approximately one
third greater.

rection of County Agent Russell E.
Wilson, who is receiving the coop
GRAFTON of H. L. Richardson, extern
sion poultryman of the University
of Delaware, in planning and de-
veloping this phase of the county
extension program. One important
poultry project includes the con-
struction and remodeling of poultry
houses on practical and econom-
ical basis, and there are fourteen
of these houses which have been
built or remodeled according to
plans and specifications furnished
by the extension service. In addi-
tion to these cooperators, there are
other poultrymen in Kent county
who are planning to build new
brooder and laying houses within
the next few months. Flock i'm
provement demonstrations also are
included in the poultry program,
and cooperators are following GER
tain recommended practices in the
selection and production of better
laying and breeding stock. Through

ed for pullorum eradication, the
extension service is receiving CO.
operation and assistance from H.

Raid Victims Established
by Defense Council
SURVEY FOR EMERGENCY

Preparing for the possibility of
an air attack on this town officials
of the State Council for Defense
decided to establish an emergency
dressing station and formulated
general plans for the handling of
such an emergency. Wilmington's
ten stations, and series of 10 al
ternate ones will be stated with
physicians, surgeons and dentists,
and a group of 20 men and women
recruited from pool" of 1000
trained Red Cross first aid experts,
residents of that city. The services
of the latter body were offered by
Lammot DUPONT, Jr., chairman of
the Delaware Chapter, American
Red Cross, and Arthur M. Potter,
executive secretary of the chapter.
Ambulance Corps
An ambulance corps to be made
up of station wagons and trucks,
was also planned. DR.. William H.
Speer, council chairman for health
and welfare of the Wilmington civ
ilian population, said the locations
of the centers have already been Sc
lected, and negotiations will be
made with property owners by En-
NETT S. Hickman, council chairman
of housing, works and facilities. DR..
Speer explained the projected or
ganization and location of three
field hospitals outside the city linn
its for use in the event city hos
pitals are bombed out" The hos
pitfalls, which would care for about
80 casualties each, will also be es-
tablished in Dover, Smyrna, George
town and Lewes, he said. Gerrish
Gassaway, council executive vice
chairman, explained steps now be-
ing taken to organize public utility
technicians to shut off electricity

repaired. Riggers, steel-workers
and laborers will also be organized
in squads to clear streets of debris,
and pull down weakened buildings.
To this group will be added a staff
of explosive experts to remove time
bombs and unexploded bombs, he
said. Surveys are now under way
to determine best routes for a mass
evacuation of Wilmington, and
places where persons could be
sheltered in the rural areas. The
Red Cross is charting methods of
feeding, sheltering and transport
ing the whole populace if neces-
sary, he said. Mr.. Gassaway re-
ported the committee under Mr..
Hickman is making a city-wide
survey of possible cellar and base
ment areas which would be rela-
lively safe in the event of attack.
Owners of large buildings are be-
ing approached by the council to
discuss use of these buildings, he
said.

MAN IN
BOAT ACCIDENT
Capt. Frank Badur, Skipper
of Stokesbury Fishing Boat
Hit by Barge; Man Killed
FOUR ESCAPE DEATH

One man was killed and four
others narrowly escaped death
when a tugboat and fishing craft
collided in the Delaware Bay, seven
miles off Bowers Beach Friday
morning. John Fritz, 40, of Allen
town, was dead when taken from
the water about two minutes after
he was thrown from the fishing
craft by the collision. William
Kuns, 40, also of Allentown, was
tossed into the bay, and his two
sons, William Jr., II, and Kenneth,
16, clung to the barge and were
pulled to safety. Captain Frank
Badur, Smyrna, was skipper of the
fishing boat Red Lion" and the
tugboat, GLADYS, towing an oil
barge carrying gasoline, was skip
pered by Capt. George Arnold,
Chester. Both captains were held
under $4,000 bail, but Badur was
later released. According to Badur,
he anchored the fishing craft about
three miles off the steamship chan
mel, where in less than an hour, he
saw the tugboat bearing down
upon him. Badur said he blew his
horn and shouted to the Captain of
the tug to steer clear. The barge
side-swiped the anchored fishing
boat, and the 3S-foot craft was
drawn underneath the bow of the
barge, and was almost sunk by the
underotw, Badur said. The boat
filled with water, but was pumped
out sufficiently to return to Bowers
Beach. Captain Badur was treat
ed for an injured finger at the
Memorial Hospital in Milford. The
Red Lion is owned by Walter
Stokesbury. This is the first acci-
dent Capt. Badur has had in the 30
years he has followed the water" "
Investigation of the accident is be-
ing conducted by Sergt. Carl
Schnetter, of the state police, and
by Coroner Havillah o. Carcean.
Members of the fishing party were
held under $500 bail each as wit
nesses. There will be a hearing on
July 25th, by Magistrate Harry B.
Thaw.
