WILSON SHOULD THANK
SENATE FOR MAKING HIM
SELL HIS G. M. STOCK
By SYLVIA PORTER

Charles E. Wilson, our Secretary
of Defense and General Motors form
er president, really ought to write
letter to every one of our 10 Sena-
tors saying something like this:
"DEAR SENATOR: Thank you
very much for giving me present
which, as of today, amounts to about
$390,450.
"When you told me last January
that you wouldn't let me become Sec
rotary of Defense unless | sold my
stock in General Motors, | argued
bitterly with you. On principle, |
thought you were wrong. | told you
flatly that even though General Mot
ors was the largest single contractor
in the Defense Department and |
owned G sMtock, still could handle
my job as Defense Chief effectively.
"But you fused, you fumed. On
January %, therefore, / agreed to
unload my shares, and you voted me
in.
II had 39,045 shares of GIN which
sold out shortly thereafter at
around SOS share. | got around 3d.
655, 700.
To-day my stock is quoted around
$58. If had to sell now, I'd get only
around $2,264,610.

me. "-CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.

About half Of the country's mush-

radius Of Kennett Square in Ches-

County stands at the head Of the

counties in the production of hoF-

Mushrooms are grown in special

Windows-not because mushrooms
prefer darkness but because thev
do not need light, and in buildings
without windows it is easier to
control inside temperatures. Mush-
rooms are fastidious about tempera-

started late in summer and the
season continues through winter
to the following May.
Kennett Square became the
mushroom capital of the country
largely by accident. Before the turn
of the century, a greenhouse opera

greenhouse products To markets in
New York and Philadelphia, learn
ed about the growing popularity of
mushrooms which were then inn
ported from England and France
for serving in metropolitan hotels
and restaurants to people with
European appetites. This enter
prising operator sent to England
for mushroom spawn, the seed,
and began experimenting with
mushroom growing in the waste
space below his benches. When his
mushroOm-growing venture pros
pered, others followed his example
and this is how it all began.
Although mushrooms grow to
maturity very fast, the industry has
grown at rather moderate rate.

the so million-pOund level of an

delicious flavor, mushrooms play a
supporting role in that they in-
crease the palatability of other
foods. Mushrooms go to market ir

grims who object to half-shaves
have struck against holy BARRIERS
at famed Tirupathi Temple here.
The Temple BARRIERS are especial

pilgrims crowd the shrine. Each
barber tried tc corner all possible

grim had to cool his heels until the

Recently pilgrims have been pa

Farming Dangers
Show In Survey

Farming is a dangerous occupa-
ton.
Figures compiled by the Nation
al Safety Council show that farm
ing has the third highest death
rate among major industries of the
nation. In 1852 motor vehicles kill
ed 5000 and injured 10000 farm
people. OF these, farm tractors
caused 700 fatal and $4,000 nom
fatal accidents.
Accidents in the home accounted
for $500 deaths and $4,000 in
juries. OccupationaI accidents ex-
Guiding motor vehicles produced
$500 deaths and $4,000 injuries.
During the year 62 of every 10O,-
900 farm residents dies as a result
of accidents. In a recent editorial
on the subject of farm accidents
the American Medical Association
declared, Most such accidents
were preventable and usually only
one person was to blame-the per-

Buy Christmas SeoIs
States Typical
Car Buyer Pays
SIG Per Month

NEW YORK-The typical new
car buyer in Ohio earns between
$3.50 and $500 a month, buys his
car "on time" and pays for it in
monthly payments of $7916, ac-
cording to a survey by the ma
tion's largest independent sales fl
nance company.
These facts were based on a ma
tional study conducted by CIT.
Financial Corporation through its
$50 offices in the United States
and Canada. CIT. has more than
one million retail car buyers on its
books.
L. w. Lundell, vice president of
CIT. and executive head of its
automobile financing subsidiary,
said the study indicated that more
than 46 percent of Ohio's new-car
buyers had been with their present
employers five years or more; al
most % per cent of them 10 years
or more. OF the used-car buyers,
more than 81 per cent had been
with their present employers five
years or more and about 10 per
cent 10 years or more.
Ohio's typical new-car buyer,
the study disclosed, owes an ini-
tial debt of $1944 on his car and
pays it off in an average of "a
months. The monthly income of
persons who finance new cars dur
ing the month studied ranged I'D
to more than $4,000.
The typical buyer of used car
earns between $3.50 and S400 a
month, signs a note for 1896 and
pays it off in less than 18 months
with average monthly payment of
$52.97. About 76 per cent of the
used-car buyers earn $40O a month
or less but many are in brackets
above $500 a month.
"The study" Lundell said. adds
SJatlStlcal proof to what we have
long known: that consumer install
ment credit is used primarily by
the steadily employed, we'll paid
middle-income groups, people who
have always demonstrated their
willingness and ability to pay their
debts and who are conservative in
contracting financial obligations.
IF mass financing were not a.
Vailable to these consumers" Lun-
dell pointed out, "the economies of
mass production and mass distri-
button would largely disappear, as
would millions of jobs dependent
upon the production, distribution
and use of durable goods"
