N. 7. Dealer Drops
EdseI Franchise

NEW YORK, Nov. ~ (R.-A
Manhattan automobile dealer,
who switched from Oldsmobiles
to Edsels three months ago be-
cause he said Oldsmobiles were
selling poorly, now is giving up
on Edsels for the same reason.
He was Manhattan's only Edsel
dealer.
The action of the dealer,
Charles Kreisler, follows re-
ports-denied by the Edsel oin-
Gals in Detroit-that many
Edsel dealers have given up
their franchises because Of slow
sales.
Kreisler, who has a Park
avenue showroom, said the de-
cision to give up his Edsel fran
chise was because he could not
maintain volume large enough
to make it profitable for an or
ganization of our size"

Hansen Backs
BoofIegging'
[0f New Cars

The so-called "hootlegging"
Of new cars-sale Of new autos
by franchised dealers to other
new and used-car retailers
was condoned by the Justice
Departments antitrust chief
yesterday.
Victor r. Hansen. in an adj
dress before the National Inde-
pendent Automobile Dealers
Association at the Statler, as
serted the practice is not in
violation of antitrust laws.
He said he could see no rea-
son why this form of COMPETE
ton is not entitled to its test in
the market place." and that
any moves to restrict that type
of sale would be closely
watched by his division.
He emphasized that in sucf,
transactions there should be
no Misrepresentation" In
many instances, he explained,
one franchised dealer may find
his stock glutted and sell cars
to either another dealer hand
ling the same make; to a re-
taller handling another brand
or to a used-car outlet.
Mr.. Hansen also welcomed
the appearance of dual
franchises" in the auto dis
ltribution field and cautioned
against any manufacturer re-
Italiation in connection with
such deals. He noted that
many dealers handling the
big three" lines-Ford, Gen.
leral Motors and Chrysler-
have also taken on the Amer
lean Motors Rambler ito pro-
vide a broader coverage of con-
sumner tastes"
Il see in this trend a de-
velopment which is likely to
have favorable effects on COM
petition in the automobile
manufacturing industry as a
whole and on the ability OF
automobile dealers to utilize
their facilities more intensive
ly and thereby to increase their
profits without raising con.
; sumner prices"
Mr.. Hansen said the industry
J has been getting away from
the idea that an automobile
dealer is IAN appendage of tn,
manufacturer"

Thanksgiving marks the
start Of the annual business Of
giving business gifts-a custom
that is reaching startling pro-
portions.
Every indication is that de-
spite the business showdown,
more business gifts will be
given by more corporations to
more employees and customers
this Christmas than ever
before.
II you're q person who at
Christmas receives gifts only
from relatives and friends, the
size and ramifications Of the
business gift market well may
come as q shock. Consider:
The market for business gifts
is conservatively estimated at
far over 81 billion a year. AT
least one authority estimates
that corporations spend over
SIT billion ct Christmas alone
and spend another 5000 to $70O
million on gifts to employees
customers and prospects dur
ing the rest Of the year.
Few Gifts Costly
1
Surveys indicate that 80 to
85 per cent of business Arms
lgive gifts Of some sort and
although presents around the
calendar are becoming increas-
ingly popular. Christmas re-
mains the favorite time fol
lgift giving.
The cost Of each gift varies
from less than a dime to hun.
dreds of dollars. It's a gooC
guess that the average cost pei
gift is under IS.
The business-gift bushes.
has grown to huge proportions
Last month the first Nationa
Business Gift show was helt

hibitors set up booths, dis.

Bitterly Reports
Mccarthy Death

LONDON. May 3 (R.-west-
ern Europe's newspapers shed nc
tear today for Senator Joseph
r. Mccarthy. The death Of the
Wisconsin Senator renewed the
dormant passions that once
surged around his name.
British papers nearly all gave
the story prominent front-page
space and carried bitter editorials
on "McCarthyism."
The reports in France were
brief. But all papers referred to
Mccarthy as "the witch hunt
err" The Communist L'Humanite
declared the Senator was famous
for his relentlessness in using
methods against communism
worthy Of the inquisition."
"Inquisition" also was used
in London's conservative Daily
Telegraph.
Attacked by Paris Paper
The Communist Paris Lib
Grafton called the Senator the
leader Of frantic anti-com-
munism and the grand master
of witch hunting"
The death occurred too late
yesterday for Italian editorial
writers to prepare articles, but
front pages in Rome gave the
news large coverage. The head
line in II Tempo was Mccarthy
the Foe Of Communism"
