WARNS NEW CAR.
 COULD SKATER. INDUSTRY PLANS.
By CHARLES n, PEARSON

0y OhAhhs4GO As AGAR0ON United Press Staff Correspondent
 Detroit, June 26 = (U.P.) = The automobile of tomorrow may come a year ahead of schedule if some independent without heavy invest ment in tools and dies enters the field, George W. Walker, industrial designer, warned the industry today.
 If some newcomer catches the public fancy with post postwar car built from scratch, old-line manufacturers may be forced to go along even though 1t means junking millions of dollars worth of expensive dies," Walker said. Walker, who collaborated in de- signing two 1942 models and has been retained by Admiral Radio, Electromaster and the Eureka Vac- uum Company, revealed that he is working on "face lifting" changes for a third automobile manufac- turer.
 Gives New Appearance
 Face lifting, he explained Is re- designing front trim and orna- ment to give the car different ape pearance without. discarding body and fender dies.
 ITO restyle the entire body would mean junking about $4,000 900 worth of dies for the average company. We can change the appearance by face lifting for about $l50,000 in dies" Walker said.
 While beginning of the invasion doesn't mean the war is over. 1t should stabilize production sched- ules and may mean earlier resump- tion of automobile production. Could Prove Costly
 Every company has new designs some involving radical engineering and body changes, but most manu- facturers at present plan to resume with 1942 models.
 But If some independent with enough backing jumps the gun, 1t may cost the industry untold millions to compete. You can't sell dump-waiters to people who want electric refrigerators."
 Among the changes in prospect, Walker listed improved safety sfeat- ures such as leather padded in- strument panels, wider use of plas- ticsfi, both functional and orna- mental, and elimination of lenders,
 There is no longer any excuse for lenders, which are 8 carryover from the mudguards used on bug gies in the '90s," Walker said. Cars will be wider, and may be protected by bumpers clear around.
 Cheaper COnvertibles
 There is an increasing demand for convertibles which must be re- designed on a production basis to eliminate custom work as in the past, running the price Up at least $l00 over closed models.
 Al lthese changes-and more are in the book. Established manu- lecturers probably will advance slowly and methodically as in the past.
 But if someone with an idea gets together with someone with capital and the know-how, you may see your dream cars skimming along the highways 8 few months after industry gets the green light"

 "Dick, what would you say my trouble is?"
 "well," said Haynes, unwilling to seem critical, "Id say your worst trouble is that you're too near the ball after you swing"
 Maestro Charles Paul, the MT. and Mrs. North" bandleader, does. mt mind Felix Globes loud tweeds and ear-splitting ties. Sometimes, however, he would like his star basa violin player to sound off a little louder on his instrument.
 However, there are reasons for the bass sections difficulties. Giobbei bulky instrument is set up in tho neighborhood of the sound effects men. With guns going off right un. der Giobbe's nose, his sense of heare ing plays funny tricks on him now and then.

He'd appreciate 1t if scriptual murdererS If they must kill--would use sil. encers on their guns.

MCDONALD FORCES
SURE OF VICTORY

RALEIGH, May 26.- Up DR.,
Ralph McDonald's campaign head
quarters here tonight predicted an
overwhelming victory for the gu
bernatorial candidate in tonno-
rows Democratic primary.
In final statement from the
candidates headquarters, E. D..
Broadhurst of Greensboro, McDon-
AIDS manager, said that:
Ralph Mcdonald and those
privileged to share in the conduct
of his campaign stand hurnbly and
confidently tonight before that
mighty tribunal-the great masses
of North Carolinians who have
longed for, and fought in behalf
of, state government for and by
the people instead of privileged
few.
1--WE are humble because we are
confident that the results of to-
morrow's primary will confer upon
Ralph Mcdonald the great respon-
slbility which the victory will
bring; we are humble because we
are confident that tomorrow vot-
ing will demonstrate that the
people Of our great stste desire a
government that will serve all the
people of our great state desire a
political status.
1--WE are thankful for the great,
silent masses of people who have
made up their minds that privilege
must go and that equal rights must
prevail with Ralph Mcdonald: we
are appreciative of all the efforts
OF those who, bare-handed and with
little means, have fought hard,
fair fight against entrenched inter-
ests and money that would stagger
the Imagination of all who think
electlons-as our state constitution
says-are free.
This has been a hard fight. We
know that money and political ring
sterlsm can do. We have braved
these odds with a grea. faith that
our cause is just and will triumph.
And our cause will triumph to-
morrow, bringing glorious victory
for decent, denocatic govern
ment. That's why our confidence
is mixed with humility. We have
accepted the challenge. With Gods
help, We shall make North Caro-
lima proud of its choice"

IN the armory, his address was
broadcast over a network of radio
stations in the area.
"For 10 weeks I have carried

"In Concluding this campaign I
AVE followed in the footsteps of
he late Governor Aycock and the
1ther great men who have follow
ID him. This was the only kind of
campaign I knew how to conduct.
"In recent days, however, I have
oeen amazed to find that my op-
oonent has abandoned the issues
n which the people were inter-
ssted, and plunged to a plane of
low level in order to engage in a

With thousands of them posed

ton nor lack of unity among our
people. The clash of factions and
the strife of partisanship should be
