Pontiac Gets Orders

But limited production is not
stopping the automobile deal
erS from taking orders. if
Pontiac Motors is typical. Sales
of 1916 models are far out
stripping the pace for 194l,
according 10 d. h.. Bathrick,
general sales manager of Pom
tiac.
Pontiacs went on public dis
play first on the Pacific Coast
and the response there was
tremendous, Bathrick reported.
One dealer said he had received
more orders the first week the
1916 cars arrived than he had
taken in the first six months OF
194l Another has oversold his
entire II months allotment.
Sales ranged from 20 to 300
per dealer and deposits went
from Sl00 to $1,000. Many are
turning in their cars to take
advantage of the favorable used
car market, Bathrick said.

Wilson Pessimistic
on lq46 Production
BY sILER FREEMAN

c. r. Wilson. president Of
General Motors. is frankly pes
simistic on 1916 as a production
year. He doubts that il will
equal 1871 output with present
capacity, even working as much
overtime or more in 1916. New
plant capacity will not be ready
until late in 1916, too late 10
be used i'm the production OF
1916 cars, he fears.
Wilson revealed that all divi-
SionS have been able 20 make
barely 1900 cars. This was
the schedule originally set for
September alone.
But shortages and la bor
troubles have cut deep into
production. The Cleveland steel
tieup which sent Buick and
Fisher Body in Flint down are
typical If similar woes de-
velop in 1916. the l94l figures
viii certainly not be reached.
Wilson said.

BIT or PROGRESS

The management-labor confer
ence made a bit of progress last
week. IL can't do much. since no
basis exists for settling the wage
price issue. But il has definitely
accepted the principle of col
lective bargaining" and h s
agreed that the bargain must in
Clude provision for some arbitra-
tion before strikes or lockouts
are resorted TO.
On the other side, labor is now
divided with the CIO fighting the
other wing or wings. Murray
shows his weakness by being in
hurry and by such Unreason-
able charges as that General
Motors refusal 10 accept a 30
per cent increase, and the in
cluSion Of a government man In

lation of collective bargaining.
Thus. with employers more
reasonable and employees in n
weakened position, maybe the
two can get together. The fact

Go leaders, too, may note
that if the elections show any
thing, il is that the radical re-

Even if he did agree to sing at
Movie Magnate Harry Cohen's

Duke and the Duchess of Windsor
Last summer it was Rita Hay
worth's baby. Now it's the film
strike. I'm getting tired of just
singing in the bathtub," said moon
faced curly-haired, bow-tied Drake.
Drake-real name Capurro, son
OF an Italian immigrant family
who became Brooklyn restaurant
owners, landed Hollywood film
contract year and half ago via
Oklahoma. He has been dis
appearing in pictures ever since.
He arrived in Hollywood frcm
Broadway, fresh from his hit in
Oklahoma" year ago this month.
His agent met him at the train
and said. Il have some bad news for
you. Rita Hayworth is going to
have a baby"
Drake was scheduled to co-star
with Rita in Columbia filmusical
about old California. The produc-
ton upset the studios production
schedules. Drake played golf and
went to the beach for 10 weeks.
Only chance ne got to sing was at

He was happy u sing at Harrys
birthday party. he said, because
he was on the Columbia studio pay
roll Besides, he wasn't invited just
to sing. During the "Oklahoma"
run, the Duke and Duchess of Wind
sor invited him, through friend, to
a party.
MORE BAD NEWS
Il suppose you'll want me to
sing?" asked Drake.
Yes" said the friend, You will
sing, won't you?"
My fee" Drake said, will be
$1,000" The invitation was with
drawn.
Luckily. Drake was able to return
to Broadway while Rita kept her
date with the stork. His contract
permits him six months in Holly
wood and six months on Broadway
Otherwise he might still be playing
golf
Four weeks ago he arrived in
Hollywood again. This time it look
ed like he would receive a formal
introduction to movie camera
Columbia was all set to produce a
film version of the Coast Guard
musical. "Tars and Spars." Drake
was scheduled to star.
Again his agent met him at the
train.
Il have some bad news for you,'

The return of thousands CT
wounded service men to this coun-

chapter.
With the increase of casualties in
the Pacific and the return of all
wounded from Europe, hospitals are
suddenly left with a shortage of
afghanS, which are much in demand
by the convalescents.
Mrs. Deaton has asked El Gen.
trans to help cut by making
squares for afghans. which may be
either knitted or crocheted Of wool
and should measure four by six
inches. She. emphasized the change
in size of the squares, as they we're
previously true squares.
Bright-colored yarn is preferred,
she said. to add a cheerful note to
the hospital atmosphere. The Red
Cross will appreciate a complete
afghan from any woman, but even
a small number of squares will
help.
Sewers are also needed to make
pajamas and bedjackets for the
hospitals. The Red Gross would
like to complete this work as soon
as possible so they may be shipped
by the middle of June.
Anyone having Red Cross rocks or
sweaters has been asked to complete
them and turn them in.
