Midwest City SetTo0oOn Job Projects
By MARJORIE 3. PAxsON

United Press stan CorrespOndentl
 Lincoln, Neb., oct. i-CUPD-- While congress and the nation talk about postwar problems, Lincoln is busy putting the finishing touches on e 92,975, 900 public improvement program to provide temporary jobs and produce lasting results.
 Recommendations for "A "job- priming" projects, ranging from construction of a e600,O00 city li- brary to establishment of a scienr tiflc system for appraising real es- tate, now are before the electorate.
 Virtually no opposition to the plans is expected.
 The proposals have been under consideration for more than year first by an advisory committee and, since last June, by groups studying each suggestion. The for- mer body laid the groundwork for the recommendations by mapping out phases of civic improvement, then turned the job over to IA sep- aTate committees.
 Each Meets Tests
 Each proposal was required to meet three tests:
 1. It actually must be needed--no leaf-raking projects allowed.
 2. It must provide plenty of jobs.
 3. It must be something Lincoln can afford = self-sustairing and Self-liquidating projects preferred.
 With these points in mind, 27l Lincolnites on committees went to work. Within two months, after frequent meetings with architects, engineers and all other interested persons, their reports were in the hands of the city fathers.
 The council unanimously ap- proved the reconlmendatio with only minor changes. The election to authorize issuance of bonds for the program tentatively has been set for early in october.
 The 100 separate projects vary widely. Already approved is the city auditorium to be built when mater- ialS are available, which was al- lotted SS6o,000 additional funds ur- der the new program. Cost of a. municipal stadium was set at S3B0,. 900, plus other sports facilities at an estimated el20,000. Expansion and improvement of the Lincoln General Hospital is slated to cost $250 900. Y,
 Other projects include street i'm. provenlents, rnodernizii1g the city's lighting system, constructing sew age and drainage projects, park i'm. provenents. playground develop ment, an outdoor bowl to seat g. 000.l0,00o persons, and improve nents for the municipal golf course
 Final proposal--a scientific and equitable system of assessment expected to cost S7600o. The corn- rnittee has suggested that e super visor be appointed to inaugurate a system, and that group of lead- ing citizens be named to advise

Detroit, oct. l- When it was learned that Henry Kaiser was go- ing into the automobile business there arose a quite general assump- tion that the shipbOilding wizard had some sort of rabbit in his hat. Either he would produce an ap- pealing midget car big enough to compete with Ford Chevrole plys mouth, but much underpriced, or he planned some 2ist century it1nova- ton right out of the Sunday supple Hnents. CAGY ABOUT DETAILS
 There's nothing to 1t. can't tell you in detail the body lines and specifications of the new Frazer, which the Kaiser-Fra %. hopes to begin producing about February in the Si,60O class, or of the new Kaiser which they are trying to get into showrooms about May to compete with Chevrolet- Ford-P -Ply- mouth. But can assure you that most of the speculation about the Frazer and the Kaiser are all wet.
 The company is pretty cagy about giving any details of It's projected models, partly because @2b ,000,- 900 stock issue Is being offered and designed to influence stock sales the SEC prefers that all publicity should rest on the prospects. But I have been doing some scouting.
 My prediction is that the Frazer and the Kaiser will not look very different than most of the other -1D40 mo- dels now in, or ap- preaching production. The biggest difference will be where the garage man will see 1t oftener than you. There will, predict, be no chassis frame. Both engine and wheel sus- pension will be supported directly by the body.N
 Wry? Because that construction will be fetish of the man who de- signed both cars for Kaiser Frazer. He is Howard Darrin, who has stuck consistently to the chassis-less idea since, 12 years ago, he put 1t into the first French il1aSs-prod car, the Citrcen. As recently as last year he incorporated the same thing In the new rF'ench Mathis, soon to go into production. He believes that 1t makes for lightness, siTln- plicity and economy of rianufac" ture.
