BETTER BUY THAN EVER

A Congressional subcOmmitte,
Investigation Of sO-called high in
dustrial profits has brought forth
the fact that, despite scarcities and
inhatiOnary prices, automobiles are
q better buy today than ever be-
fore in the history Of the indus
try.
To prove this point, M. E. COyle.
executive vice president Of Cen
eral Motors, testified before the
subcommittee the other day: In
hatiOn has pushed up prices Of
postwar automobiles as it has push
ed up prices Of other products. +"
Then he asked: ITO what extent
has the value the customer gets for
his automobile dollar been affected
from a lOng-term VieWpOint?'
Answering his own question, af-
ter he had satisfied the investiga-
tors on numerous points in several
hours on the witness stand, Mr..
COyle invited the committee mem
bers outside to view a recOnditiOn-
ed 1929 Buick fOuF-dOOF sedan and
a 1913 Chevrolet fOur-dOor sedan. |
Manufacturer list price Of Buick
IN 1923 was 1890; 194S Chevrolet, I
$3.50. Mf. COyle also showed the
Congressman how the 194S ChevrO-
let offers more for the dollar than
the 1929 Buick-more horsepower.
greater speed, Increased fuel eco
nomy, more safety and comfort /
features, etc.
1T should be pointed out" Mr..
Coyle emphasized, chat the manu-
faeturer's list price for both cars
excludes freight, taxes and dealer
handling. The Buick price did not
include the spare tire and bumpers
which are included in the ChevrO-
let price" Then he listed the many
new features which the 194S Chew
FOlet price includes but which were
not available on the 1929 Buick.
The witness also brought out
that while in 1928 It took an aver Il
age factory worker nearly 1900 li
hours TO earn the price Of a Chew
rolets today Il takes less than 1000
hours. He added that in 1899, when 4
farm prices were low, It took cash I
receipts from the sale Of eight beef I
steers 70 buy a Chevrolet. Today I
the same number Of steers would /
bring the price Of two ChevrOlets. q
Commenting on the exhibit in

ton that modern technology has

South Carolina Out
OF Democratic. Ranks
First Time Since '76
BY the Assoeioted Press

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 3.-Be-
cause of its convincing support of
Gov. j. Strom Thurmond, States
Rights Democratic presidential can
didate, South Carolina was out of
the national Democratic column to-
day for the first time since 1876.
Gov. Thurmond, backed by the
regular State Democratic organiza-
ton, captured the States eight elec-
toral votes yesterday with upward
of $4,000 majority over three other
presidential tickets.
Unofficial returns from 975 of the
States 1896 precincts gave Gov.
Thurmond 89,440, President Truman
80, ,498. Gov. Dewey 5,101 and Henry
A. Wallace, Progressive Party entry,
ITS.
Gov. Thurmond won a majority
in all counties except Spartanburg
and Anderson, where President Tru-
man received majorities.
Hoped for Deadlock.
The States Fighters had hoped to
capture sufficient electoral college
votes to keep either President Tru-
man or Governor Dewey from get
ting the 266 majority required for
election, and throw the election into
the House of Representatives unless
they released their electoral votes to
one or the other.
Whether the four State parties of
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
South Carolina had authority to
switch their electoral college votes
was uncertain.
In South Carolina, the matter is
entirely a party one, unaffected by
State law. The State Democratic
Convention made support Of Gov.
Thurmond for President at the Ma
tional Democratic Convention man.
datory. The State Executive Com
mittee interpreted this to mean the
party's electoral college electors
would support him. However, there
was no party rule to stop the Ex-
ecutive Committee from releasing
the States eight votes to Gov.
Dewey or Mr. Truman
Unofficial comment from among
some of Gov. Thurmond friends
indicated the States Fighters felt
! they would have won complete
victory if their electoral college
votes hold the election key.
! AS expected, all Democratic con-
gressional nominees we're elected
with ease over their Republican
opposition.

Wefs Lead by $4,000
Inkansas Repeal Vote;
6. 0. P. Sweeps State
BY the Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kans., Nov. 3.-The
outcome of spirited vote on pro-
hibition repeal in Kansas remained
undecided today with the vets hold
ing a lead of about $4,000.
Wet forces held an edge of 224 ,667
to 210,617 in returns from 1,949 of
2,772 precincts on repeal of the
States 6S-year-old constitutional
ban on liquor after a see-saW night
of ballot counting.
The Republicans swept the State,
electing a Governor and Senator,
and giving Kansas eight electoral
votes to Gov. Dewey.
The liquor vote was Kansas first
on the question since 1884.
Even if repeal should carry, it
would not bring about immediate
legalization of liquor in Kansas.
Besides the constitutional amend
ment approved 68 years ago, Kansas
has bone dry law which makes
any person possessing any amount
vi llQuOly lONSNCl SllldII, law NIO-
lator.
The amendment before the voters
does not repeal the bone dry law.
That statute will remain in force
until the State Legislature re-
peals it.
The proposal merely provides
that the legislature may regulate,
license and tax the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors" 1t
would prohibit the open saloon
forever"
Gov. Dewey. who in 1914 captured
Kansas by a majority of 154,638 over
Franklin D. Roosevelt, led Presi-
dent Truman 1871 to 153,O49 in
returns from 1,727 or 2,772 precincts.
The election of Gov. Frank Carl
son, seeking a second term, and
Andrew F. Schoeppel, former Gov
ernor running for the Senate seat
to be given up by Arthur Capper,
was assured. The vote in 1,727 pre-
cincts showed Carlson 99.84O
against 128,114 for Randolph Car
penter, Democrat.
For Senator the vote in / 1,697 pre-
cincts was: Schoeppel, 1863, 1886;

Truman Holds Lead
In Kentucky Surprise;
Chapman Also Ahead
By the Assoeioted Press

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 3.-Presi-
dent Truman's strength in Ken
lucky surprised even Democratic
leaders today and was credited with
helping put Representative Chap
man ahead of Republican Senator
Cooper in the Senate race.
The party also polled enough
votes in yesterdays election to send
at least six Democrats, possibly
seven, to the House. The Republi-
cans were certain of two seats.
They've had three.
Unofficial returns from 2,94l of
4,O66 precincts gave the President
362,653 votes and Gov. Dewey 1885,
1872. This margin of more than lO0,-
900 mounted steadily during tabu-
lations last night and today. Ken
lucky has II electoral votes.
Chapman Has Good Edge.
Political observers said the pull
ing power of the Truman Barkley
ticket was responsible in part for
the apparent defeat of Senator
Cooper. Returns from the 2,94l
precincts gave Representative Chap
man an apparently safe margin of
317,375 to Senator Cooper's 290O43.
Kentucky normally is a Demo-
cratic State and has favored the
COP ticket in a presidential race
only twice in its history. Some
times the difference has been close.
These Democrats were elected to
the House yesterday:
Representative Gregory, un-
opposed incumbent, first district;
Representative Whitaker, incum-
bent, second; Representative Chelf,
incumbent, fourth; Representative
Spence, incumbent, fifth; Tom r.
Underwood, sixth, and Representa-
tive Bates, incumbent, eighth.

Gov. Dewey led President Tru-

short of the $4,000 by which the
New Yorker carried the State in
1914.
President Truman got off to a
flying start with the vote from the
populous industrial areas, but the
returns from the country precincts

As Democrats Capture
13of y House Seats
ay the Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 13-Dem-
ocrats threw pivotal ohio's Is elec-
toral votes to President Truman to-
day. They also captured several
congressional seats and State Offices
from Republicans in surprising
show of strength.
Mr.. Truman confounded political
pollsters by overtaking favored Gov.
Dewey of New York in virtually
complete tabulations. 1t bore out
his campaign predictions that poll
happy" Republicans would be red
faced" after the election.
The Chief Executive led by more
than $4,000 votes with only 126 of
Ohio's 9,71o polling places unreport-
ed. All but three missing polling
places were in nominally Democratic
Cuyahoga County Cleveland. The
count was Mr.. Truman, 1,439 ,028;
Gov. Dewey, 1,425,707. .s ~
Gov. Dewey bucked the 1914 Roose-
welt sweep to carry Ohio by 1850
votes in a total of 3,150,000.
Democrats turned out all Republi-
can elective officials in the State
House except treasurer, won the
Congressman at large seat and cap
tured IL of % district congressional
races. Republicans now hold all but
four Ohio congressional seats.
Republican Gov. Thomas j. Her.
bert conceded to his Democratic
predecessor, Frank j. Lausche,
barely three hours after polls closed.
Mr.. Lausche piled up lead of
175,245 votes, surprising the 112,30O
margin by which he won the COVER
norship in 1914. Gov. Herbert, a
former attorney general, beat Mr..
Lausche two years ago by 40,500
votes. Both are Clevelanders, Mr..
Lausche a former mayor and judge.

retary of State Edward j. Hummel
and Attorney General Hugh S.

Democratic Auditor Joseph T.
Ferguson was reelected to his

Henry A. Wallace received only
token attention in the voting which
promised to surpass the 1910 record
