E c Member of Audit Bureau of Cireulation Member of the Associated Press Cc ¥ H Tempest in a Teapot : a Action by the federal trade commission against various a automobile financing agencies is quite likely to prove a tempest ] in a teapot because there is no fundamental disagreement as to f the facts in the case. t The burden of the commission’s charge is that many fi- : nance firms advertise automobile financing at 6 per cent, t whereas the interest rate really is higher. In this there is no disagreement as is made very plain by Alfred P. Sloan, president of General Motors corporation, in a statement on the subject. After pointing out the aggressive attitude of the industry in reducing both manufacturing and financing costs, Mr. Sloan asserted that when the finance plan now used by his com- pany was adopted the following notice was sent to its stock- holders: “This six per cent MULTIPLIER is not six per cent interest.” In other words, it is a figure to be used as a multiplier on the balance due to determine the finance cost. Thus, if $480 is due on a car, application of the multiplier will show a finance cost of $28.80. It really amounts to more than that as a rate of interest because of the instalment principle. If the entire sum remained due until the end of a 12-month installment period the six per cent INTEREST condition would prevail. But, as a matter of fact, half the principal sum is paid in six months and the amount then due is only $240, whereas the six-per-cent MUL- ‘TIPLIER applies to the entire sum throughout the period. The net result of the instalment system is to make the INTEREST rate approximately 12 per cent. There has been no secrecy about this, as Mr. Sloan frankly points out. Speaking for his own firm, he asserts ‘that “the greatest care has been exercised to distinguish between six per cent as a multiplier and the possible assumption on the part of some purchasers that the 6 per cent meant six per cent true interest. It certainly does not; was never contemplated to do so. That would be economically impossible.” Both the public and the automobile industry are indebted to Mr. Sloan for this frank statement. The success of this giant business has been predicated upon hard-boiled attention to facts rather than upon false pretense. No business of such magni- tude could be built on the sands of false dealing. When Mr. Sloan says it would be economically impossible for automobile finance concerns to apply a six per cent INTER- EST rate to unpaid balances on automobiles he speaks the truth, The loans are generally small and, because of the nature of the property mortgaged, they are peculiarly volatile. Thus they need more supervision and management and involve a higher collection expense than is true of most loans. Everyone who ponders the situation for a moment knows this to be true. * The upshot of the whole business probably will be a re- definition of what automobile firms mean when they say six per cent and a change in the terninology used. This might be desirable, But in considering the matter the record of the automobile industry in stabilizing the financing of motor purchases should as oe Bismarck Tribune | Several grounds—even among those Behind Scenes Washington there was a wolf and a fox and a bear and a2 crocodile New Dealers Eager to Curb Supreme Court, but Can't Agree on Methods ++.

By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Dec. 9.—Although the New Dealers who want to curb the U. S. supreme court are busier than ever trying to figure out just how, there is no more agreement as to the best method than there was last year or the year before. Each of the several suggestions considered has its drawbacks. Pro- ponents of one or another who think they have the best solution are Promptly challenged by others who profess to see its flaws. Proposals for a constitutional amendment are subject to attack on who favor reform. An amendment would be likely to take years for rati- fication by the states and could be defeated by 13 states containing less than 5 per cent of the population, assuming it could be passed by two-, thirds majorities in congress. Liberals are so divided as to how such amendment should be phrased that it might be very difficult to frame one which would be acceptable to 36 states. . * * * Fear Future Tyranny Many liberals aren’t sure an amend- ment could be fixed up which would permit progressive social-economic legislation free from supreme court interference without reducing the court’s value as a future check on legislative or executive interference with human liberties, One answer sometimes made to that objection is that the German supreme court was once relied on for such protection, but that Hitler had no trouble upsetting its power. Proposals that congress pass certain acts earmarked as not reviewable by the courts are regarded by some authorities as acceptable from a con- stitutional standpoint, but they would be more popular if congress, having seb such @ precedent, could be de- pended on not to earmark nearly all legislation in that manner and thus Cestroy the court. Requirement that court decisions holding acts of congress unconstitu- tional should be by a vote of at least 6 to 3 or even 7 to 2 is another pro- Posal, But many lawyers point out that constitutional cases arise only in lawsuits brought to the supreme cowrt for final decision; that somebody must decide these suits if the judicial sys- tem is to be preserved; and that if justices insisted on continuing to split 5 to 4, it would all be rather messy. * * * Hope for Retirements Actually, administrationites are hoping most of all that a couple of Why the Fasces on Dimes not be overlooked. Through their efforts the cost of such financial service has been consisently reduced and now is at the lowest figure in the history of the industry. It is good business for the industry, for its prime purpose is to make and sell automobiles as cheaply as is consistent with sound practice. FE And Get an Education Further proof that times are getting better throughout the nation as a whole is contained in renewed efforts by the three branches of the nation’s defense service to enlist new men. | U‘it Monday’s mail brought to The Tribune letters from Joseph P. Tomelty, naval lieutenant, and J. P. Schwerin, captain in the marine corps telling of the opportunities offered by those serv- ices. Recruiting officers at Fort Lincoln and elsewhere are telling the army’s story. In each case emphasis is placed on the training advantages offered by these services. The demand is for technical men and service schools take over the training job. Commercial and academic subjects as well as trades are taught in all three branches of the military arm. . ‘ The old slogan, presented on many a gaily colored poster - was “Join the and see the world.” The present motto would seem to be “Join the and get an education.” ‘ " On this basis it would seem that the old lust for adventure is presumed to be passing from the minds and hearts of youth and in its place is a newer urge. Or maybe it is just the fact that the old slogan was the cause of so many cynical laughs and @ new approach was necessary. ‘Nearly 5,000,000 postcards and stamped envelopes are sold in America each year.

I have to take the positive side in debating this in our high school class... (F. E.) Answer—The female body generally has a blanket of fatty tissue under the skin, which gives it characteristic roundness and softness. The masculine body generally has less subcutaneous fat padding and is more angular and hard. Fat is a poor heat conductor. Under her blanket (panniculus) the woman is comfortable even when exposed to a degree which a man would find uncomfortable.
