British Flood
U.S.. Car Market
With New Autos

NEW YORK.-The British r in
vading America again-this time
with automobiles.
At least nine British m~anufactur
ers offer immediate delivery on cars
selling from $1,000 to $150,000. II
addition, a half dozen. French ano
Italian makes are offered in small
numbers.
Never before have the British
come into the American market
with such high hopes of gaining
coveted dollars. Never before have
they had such an opportunity to go
home with a comparatively fat
pocketbook.
The latest bidder Is Sir William
Rootes with the Hillman Mink.
Rootes introduced his 40 horsepower
a to America in the ballroom Of 4
swank hotel facing Central park. Sir
William said dealers from SO states
had made inquiries. His a sells
for between 1900 and $4,000.
Build Dealer Organization
The Austin Motor Company with a
40 horsepower car selling for as
low as 81, 500, entered the American
field and built up an organization
Of 80 dealers.
The British affiliate Of the Ameri-
can Ford Motor Company also is
entering the United States with a
low horsepower, low mileage a
selling at about the same price as
it's American cousin.
In addition to these three popular
priced cars, the British are export
ing the Rolls Royce, Bentley, M. G.,
Standard, Jacquard and Daimler.
Some of these are the familiar
handmade, gold plated jobs with
solid gold prices.
American motorists are attracted
to British automobiles for the same
reason American GI's were at
tracted to British girls during the
war. There isn't anything a British
car hasn't got that an American car
doesn't have. But the British al
has it here.
Hope to Gather Dollars
Before the long waiting lists for
American makes get back to nor
NAL, British manufacturers hope to
away many millions of dollars.
Britain needs the dollars with spe-
cial urgency now on the eve of the
beginning Of the Marshall plan aid.
Austin says it is shipping 1000
cars a month to American dealers.

Waiting TO Be Rescued, II
Perish in Sweeping Blaze

UTICA, N. VA sweeping flash
fire snuffed out the lives of II mem
bers of one family awaiting rescue
from their flaming, two-story frame
dwelling. Eight bodies were recov
cred by firemen from the smoking
ruins. Six were children. One was
a woman, clasping an infant.
Fourteen scantily clad persons
fled from the building, Fire Chief
Leo Barry said. A couple and their
daughter, 10, were h~ospitalized with
burns after jumping from a second
floor window.
The walls of the long, ramshackle
building collapsed before most of
the second floor occupants who had
been asleep could get out.
Mary Hoage, Is, who was injured
when she jumped from a second
story porch into a snow bank, said
other members of her family we're
huddled in one room waiting for
rescue when the building collapsed.
Her father, Richard, was at work
in a garage.
"They all stayed in the front room
and yelled for help" she said. 81

babies if they would drop them to

searched. Cause of the fire was not

estimated had gross business of
100000 to 100000 a week.
That range was given by police,
and Police Commissioner Arthur W.
Wallander said the prisoners had
been operating the largest policy
game in the city. After questioning
the men yesterday, Samuel Y. Git
lin, assistant Kings County district
attorney, estimated the average

tives and uniformed police, were
booked ON charges of possessing lot
terry slips and conspiracy to operate
a lottery and nine were released In
81 900 bail each.

comptometer, two new automo-
bles and a pistol.

Film Employment
|Of Actors Drops
To Record Low
BY the Associoted Press

LOS ANGELES, Jan. IL. - En-
ployment among screen actors is at
the lowest ebb in the history of the
film industry, Roland Reagan, pres
ident of the Screen Actors Guild,
told a Labor Institute at the Uni
versity of California at Los Angeles.
Mr.. Reagan, addressing the insti-
tute last night, said that of the
actors guild membership of $500,
only 600 are under contract to
studios.
"Proportionately, that represents
the largest unemployment in any
industry in the Nation" he pointed
out. Studios producing so pictures
a year before the war now are turn
ing out about 49,
He attributed much of the blame
for the actors economic straits to
greatly increased theater attendance
and failure to construct additional
theaters, with the result that films
are held for longer runs and there
is less need for new pictures.
