(PaSaQena oldi--No"o'
Final passenger car registration in the
United States in 1914 will show de-
crease of only 1.3 per cent from last
years, says the magazine of the automo-
tive and aviation industries.
Although civilian purchase of automo-
hiles is down to a nominal figure, there
still are 3O,2O2, ,207 motor vehicles in the
country, in comparison with 33,72O,937
in 1941, the last prewar year.
The explanation of the present high
figure contradicting reports that from
5000 to 5000 cars are scrapped daily IN
the United States, doubtless is that war
time necessity has taught the American
motoring public that an AUTOMOBILE, II
given decent care, can be used for years
longer than many Americans before

My dear Mr.. Rayess:
| appreciate very much the printing OF my

These, hope will meet with your favor. En-

CRYSTAL FAUCET
BOLTS DENIS IN
huff over JOB
by HARRY McALPIN

WASHINGTON, D. C.-tNNPA)
-Peeved because she was not sp-
pointed Recorder OF Deeds for the
District OF Columbia. the position
to which the President recently
named DR.. Marshall Sheppard. her
political benefactor, Crystal Byrd
Faucet erstwhile Democratic
woman leader in Pennsylvania, has
declared her allegiance to the Re-
publicans. according 10 an inside
story revealed to the NNPA.
Unimpeachable sources have re-
vealed that Mrs. Faucet demanded
that Senator Guffey ID. of PaD
and Dave Lawrence. political figure
in the state. withdraw their en-
dorsement OF DR.. Sheppard after the
latter had been recommended for
the Recorders position by Congress
man William Z. Dawson, assistant
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional committee.
When the endorsements were not
withdrawn, after Guffey and Law
renee had conferred with Dawson,
Mrs. Faucet went TO New York and
conferred with Herbert Brownell,
chairman of the Republican Ma
tlonal committee, and with DR.. c. 3.
Powell, associate director OF pub
licity.
When Governor Dewey opened
his campaign tour with a speech
in Philadelphia last Thursday, Mrs.
Faucet was seated on the platform.
After his speech was concluded,
Mrs. Faucet threw her arms about
the governor saying, Mrs. Roose-
welt is all right, ard President
Roosevelt is all right. But the party
is all wrong. | am glad to meet a
man who is willing to sit down with
colored people"
While this change OF allegiance
was taking place, Mrs. Faucet was
still on the payroll of the Demo-
cratic National committee, at the
same salary she had received as
race relations adviser under Mrs.
Roosevelts regime in the Office of
Civilian Defense, according to these
informed sources. This was an ar
rangement made for her through
the recommendation OF Mrs. Roose-
welt
Not until 1915 pm, on Saturday.
following the Dewey speech and
subsequent events in PHILADELPHIA.
did Mrs. Faucet wire her resigna-
ton from the payroll of the Demo-
cratic National committee.
This change Of allegiance on Mrs.
Faucets part, according TO the
source OF this information, is based
on the Sheppard appointment in
view OF Cd her retention of her
salaried job with the Democratic
National committee until last Sat-
urday; Cd her conference with the
President on political questions in
June, just prior 10 the Democratic
national convention, and after
which she expressed satisfaction
with developments to reporters in
the White House reception room;
and t0 her efforts to get for her
self the appointment as Recorder OF
Deeds for the District of Columbia
through the Democratic party.
