sewer cleaning method does not
seem to eliminate the problem
for more than six months. A
friend suggested that ] remove
the underground trap and in
stall and replace with new pipe.
Answer. It is possible that the
slant Of the pipe toward the main
sewer line has diminished, thus
slowing the flow of sewage mat
ter from the house. Another
possible reason is the growth
of tree roots. If the use of root
killing chemicals and a root
cutting machine is not effective.
then it may be necessary to reset
the pipe with lead caulking or
by inserting copper ringss inside

DETROIT, Jan. 2.-The tre-
mendouS production capacity of
the Nations auto industry was
demonstrated again in 1858.
Despite labor troubles and
other factors that interrupted
the flow of parts from its supply
sources the industry will show
unit output of approximately 6.2
million passenger cars and more
than IL million trucks and
coaches this year.
That volume tops any previous
years output in the industry'S
history excepting the record
1850. when slightly more than 8
million vehicles were built.
Outstanding event of the year
for the car industry included:
/. Cancellation and stretch
outs Of many of its military con-
tracts.
2. Kaiser Motors tKaiser- Fra

(Willys-O -Overland). for $62 mil
lion.
3. An $50 million fire that de-
stroyed General Motors hydra
matte transmission plant in Lii

4. GINS purchase of the Will
low Run plant from Kaiser Mo-
tors for $26 million to continue
hydramatic transmission produc-
ton.
S. Removal of governmental
controls that enabled General
Motors, Ford and Chrysler to
increase their overall percentage
of the industry's output.
6. Protests from retail dealer
associations that the industry
was over-producing.
Military contract cancellations
affected virtually every auto
maker. Hardest hit were those
with tank and aircraft contracts.
In the latter group was Kaiser

production of approximately 6.2
million cars and about IL mil
lion trucks. Total retail sales
probably will total something
around SIS million cars and close
to a million trucks. Final figures
will not be available until some
time in February.
Most industry analysts are
predicting a terrific squeeze on
the So-called independent"
companies through 1854. The
smaller companies lost consider
able production and sales volume
in 1853 after the lifting OF
controls.
The big competitive battle. Of
course, will be among the indus
try's Big Three of General Mo-
tors, Ford and Chrysler. It began
to shape up early in 1853 after
decontrol permitted all-out pro-
duction efforts.
GIN, Ford and Chrysler have
said they are going after larger
share of the market in 1854.
That's where the squeeze on the
smaller companies come in.
Some of the induStry's leading
sales authorities have said there
is nothing wrong with the retail
market that all-out sales efforts
will not cure. Others are saying
the merchandise division will
make money in the first half OF
the year, but will have to fight
hard to break even in the latter
half.
The industry has attractive
appearing models for the 1854
sales campaigns. For the most
part relatively few major styl-
ing and engineering changes
have been made. However, there
is more than ordinary emphasis
on interior and exterior colors
and color combinations.

Federal Financing
Weat1ers Lean S.;
Rough Road Ahead
By Fronk O'Brien
Associofed Press Finuneicl Writer

It was a tumultous year in
Government finance. And 1854
looks like another.
Gagged under $275 billion
debt ceiling, which Congress re-
fused to raise, the Treasury had
to go through unprecedented
contortions to pay the Govern
ment'S bills.
Interest rates marched to a
20-year high, raising a political
furor, and then marched right
back again, causing some market
confusion.
The new administration took
over the Treasury with an air
of cheerful assurance it could
soon take significant steps to
switch from short to long term
borrowing. reduce bank holdings
Of the Federal debt, and in gen.
eral halt what it termed infia-
tionary debt management by
previous administrations.
Some Gains Recorded.
But Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey and his deputy for
debt management, w. Randolph
Burgess. wound up the year TAX
ing grim pride in having made
some short gains during their
first year of battle with the debt.
The Federal debt, the worlds
biggest financial structure, stood
at $267. .391 900. 900 on December
81, 1852. 1t was virtually the
same when the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration came in 20 days
later. The total included about
$575 million of debt not subject
to the legal limit. The Treasury
started 1853 with a cash work.
ing balance of $6 billion dollars.
It was estimated shortly before
1858 ended that the Treasury
would close the year with debt
of about $275.1 billion. or
some SIT billion more than
when the year began. The year.
end total included $575 million
dollars debt not subject to the
legal limit. leaving the Treasury
about $475 million borrowing
authority. That would be equal
to around two days spending
since Government bills roll in at
about Sc billion dollars a month.
Close Working.
It was also estimated that the
cash balance would stand at
about $3.5 billion-$2.5 billion
lower than at the beginning of
the year-when 1853 ended. The
cash balance and remaining bor-
rowing authority would equal
about 20 days spending. Work.
ing that close to the brink made
Mr.. Burgess a dour man in re-
cent months.
A high administration source
said late in November it looked
to him as if the Government
would run SO to 81 billion in the
red during fiscal 1855, beginning
next July /. He based the esti-
mate on hopes that spending
might be cut as much as SIS to
$6 billion under this fiscal years
level.
The prospect Of continued
heavy borrowing by the Govern
ment, together with the slim
year-end cash and borrowing
margin. made it appear certain
the administration would soon
ask Congress to reconsider its
request of last July for a new
debt limit of $500 billion dollars.

headaches piled UP for the Ma
tion's retail merchants in 1858
even as sales figures set rev
records.
Overall, it was the biggest year
for retail trade in United States
history. Total :alue of retail
merchandise sold-and this in
cluded everything from EARRINGS
and fountain pens to steaks and
automobiles-headed for an all
time high Of about $170 billion.
In 1852. the previous record
year, retail volume came to $164
billion. It had totaled slightly
over $158 billion in 1851.
While the American people
spent more money on retail pur-
chases than in any previous year.
merchants were confronted with
the cold, hard fact that the era
of ever increasing sales was bow
ing out.
There were many who felt re-
tail trade in 1854 would not ex-
ceed the 1853 total.
Under the bright surface of the
1853 boom. several soft spots
were apparent. Merchants found
increased spending on medical
care and rent soaked up dollars
that might otherwise have found
their way into retail channels.
Strongest spot in the retail
picture was the supermarket. A
bargain-conscious public might
be hesitant about buying house
furnishings, suits and coats but
not when it came to putting gro
ceries on the dinner table.

operation, the record of 1853 was

Miami Contest

The Miami High Stingarees PROV
ed TO have too much for the Key
West High School basketball team
last night and the result was a 10
So verdict over the Conchs.
The taller Miamians, who had
been cut down to size by the
Conchs in an early season meet
ing, went right to work and fash
toned a hefty lead, but in the lat
ter stages of the game, the Conchs
came to life and actually managed
TO outscore the Stings in the final
period.
'The boys played a pretty good
game in the second half but
man, that first half was ragged, I"
opined Coach Win Jones this morn
ing.
Jones used four men at different
stages OF the ballgame in an at
tempt at sitting the scoring threat
posed by the Sting's Dick Hoban,
all-state forward, but he still ma
naged to dump in 20 points. Two
Conchs, Ralph White and Dick Sal
gado, fouled themselves right out
Of the ballgame for watching him
too closely.
Charley Pike, who Is also being
considered for all-State honors, had
TO points for the Stings.
Punished Gibby Gates was the
big gun for the Conchs with IS
points - eleven of them came In
the final quarter during which the
Conchs outscored Miami, 1920. But
by then it was too late.
Julio Henriquez managed 10 col
lect 13 points for the evening but
Glynn Archer, normally a high
scorer. had an off night and could
bucket but one field goal.
The Stingarees went into a 23-7
lead in the first quarter Of the ball
game and then stretched it to 35-15
at the half.
They outscored the Conchs by
ten points In the third stanza to set
the stage for Key Vests strong
finish.
The game gave a fair indication
OF what may happen in the upcom-
ing District Glass AA tourney Feb.
A-27 when the COnchs may get
another crack at Miami.
The Stings are strong favoriets
to walk off with that title and then
go on to take the State Tourney
two weeks later.

day for a pair of tits that should
