Washington Letter
By ]. E. JONES

They Make 'Em-They Ride EN-
The story is told of a visiting
Russian official rendered speech
less when informed that the cars
on the vast parking fields of one
of our great automobile plants be-
longed to the workers, In Russia,
THE workers paradise" only the
commissars and other big shots
are allowed to have cars. In this
country the people who make 'em
also ride 'em.
In support Of this we offer an
interesting fact from the new 1850
edition of Automobile Facts and
Figures. The two "city-cOunties"
with the most automobiles in re-
lation to population are Nassau
County, New York and Genesee
County, Michigan. The former has
car for every 2.8 persons, the
latter for every S.S.
Nassau County, New York, is a
part of swank Long Island, where
one would expect a lot of people
to own cars. But Genesee County,
Michigan, has a different and per-
haps greater distinction. The city
of Flint IS situated in that county
and Flint is home town to an i'm
bortant part of General Motors
Buick is located there, as are large
plants of Chevrolet, Fisher Body
and the AC Spark Plug factories
And so in Flint almost everybody
works in General Motors.
Flint may not be "swank" bu
the people there are a powerful
productive force. The interesting
and, we think, highly significan
fact is that these good people o
Flint, who make cars are able tt
own them, too. Workers in Othe
countries are not so Fortunate.
Even Old Maryland Falls Down
The most powerful voters in tn,
United States are those who stay
at-home. It appears in the rec
ords that in the Presidential cleo
ton of 1914 the actual vote cas-
for President was 47,976,O00 o
about 55.4 per cent of the total.
The actual vote cast for Presi
dent in 1948 was 48,834,000 or Onl,
52.5 per cent of the total. In tina
election year the total number o
non-voters was approximately 4
million, figure that seems almos
a dream in a Northumberland
half of the voters of our countr
do not get to the polls.
Apparently there is sOmethin
wrong in Maryland election affair
because more than 100000 Demo
