|ChrysIer Sales Rise Half Billion
AS Profit Declines so Per Cent

1850. sales were 1890, ,404, ,45O on
898,170 units.
The increase in total sales
amounted to $494,63s,57s, with
larger production due to the fact
that the company's auto plants
were closed for 100 days in the
spring of 1850 by a strike.
Mr.. Keller added that "at cur
rent prices, the corporation could
readily do a civilian business of
$2R billion or more a year." But,
he said. Chrysler, now has military
commitments approximating ST
billion and further substantial
projects are under negotiation"
The earnings slump was in spite
Of a price increase of 6.3 per cent
which Chrysler put into effect
September II in its four lines of
automobiles. Mr.. Keller said the
increase covered only a part of
the jump in costs of making cars.

Inquiry Moy Cause Investigation
Into Law enforcement Department

WASHINGTON, II. 4. tlNINFA|
An investigation was started
last Thursday by Representative
Francis E. Walter, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, into Government
harassment of labor leader who
recently exposed Communism in
the Nations Capital.
The inquiry may develop into
a probe of law enforcement by
the Justice Department. The de-
partment was recently assailed by
House and Senate leaders of both
parties for the manner in which
it was going about enforcement
of the Communist Control Act.
Mr.. Water, a member of both
the House Judiciary and Un-Amer-
lean Activities Committees, said
the Justice Department appeared
to be engaged in an attempt to
intimidate Congressional witnesses
summoned to tell what they know
about Communism in labor and
government.
Mr.. Walters Indignation was
aroused because a Federal grand
Jury here has been asked to in
dict Henry Thomas, head of Lo-
cal "a, Building Laborers' Union,
because he signed the Taft-Hart-
ley oath saying he was not Com
muniSt.
Thomas told a House Un-Amer-
lean Activities subcommittee he
and other Communists had cap
tured control of the local, and
continued to hold it after he quit
the party. He said he followed the
party line "instinctively' until a
short time ago, although he was
not active in the party.
Justice Department officials dis
closed that the department had
presented the Thomas case to the
grand jury, but would not COM
ment on published reports that
his case was the beginning OF an
"all-out" prosecution of labor lead
ers suspected of signing falsely
the same oath.

Blasts Dope Use
Among Musicians

CHICAGO, ILL. - If all of the
most gifted musicians who have
been arrested, convicted and i'm
prisoned for being found with dope
were assembled in one place, one
of the greatest all-star orchestras
in the. history of the band busi-
ness could be organized.
So says the famous band leader,
Cab Galloway, in a signed article
in the current issue of EBONY,
Negro picture magazine, in which
ne blasts the use of dope among
musicians being the most serious
menace to the band business to-
day.
Galloway says the number of
performers who have turned to
dope of one kind or another is
increasing at an alarming rate

and now constitute very SiZeable
minority. Many of these musi-
clans are hopelessly enslaved to
the heavy drugs morphine,
herion and opium"
AS for marijuana, while perhaps
not as serious as the other drugs,
Galloway scotches the popular be-
lief that this drug, known as the
''reefer," improves music ability.
II have long known that mari
juana Injuries rather than aids
musicianship," says the Hi-De-Ho
maestro. my observations proved
to me that marijuana, or any other
drug, weakens a players perform
ance because it slows down his
reactions, muddles his thinking
and distorts his tone."
Many young musicians are re-
jecting the "reefers" as not of
sufficient stimulant and taking on
the far more dangerous drug of
"heroin," says Galloway. 'T'his is
not only damaging the reputation
of the musician, but is hampering
him from getting. job," he adds.
Galloway pleads for an immed-
late check of the spread of the
use of dope among musicians or
face the possibility of "the jazz
business destroying itself in a pois-
onus cloud of marijuana smoke to
the sinister accompaniment OF
heroin hypodermic needle 'pops';;"
he urges musicians on the dope
habit to take advantage of the
modern medical cures for swift
rehabilitation, and appeals to the
press to help in stripping the drug
habit of it's false glamour.
