Theaters---Advan TRUCK AND BUSUSERSWILLBE ORGANIZED BY A.A. ASSOCIATION National Automobile Association Will Lend Strong Backing to Commercial Vehicles Division Now Planned. NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—Bus owners as well as truck owners, will have an opportunity early this fail to join a National Associat.on devoted .to thelr interests. The American Auto- mobile Association, with the hearty approval of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, is to set up a commercia! vehicle users’ division. When the new division is fully or- ganized, the new A. A. A. will include representation of all types of motor car users. It will then be possible to thrash out within one ociation problems such as policies on legisla- tion, with the result that it wil be possible to present a united front at legislative hearings. Announcement has not yet been ade of just what form the new division will take. It is regarded as almost certain, however, that_provis- fon will be made for taking into membership intact the various state bus and truck associations. Cam- paigns to Increase the effectiveness of these state organizations, backed by the A. A. A, both through its Na- Uppal, officials and its state and local clubs, will follow. Manufacturers of trucks and buses as members of the N, A. C. C. are planning to throw their full support to the new division, both through their-home- offices ana-thelr factory branches and dealers, A committee from the N. A. C. G. to co-operate with the A. A. A. in this effort will be appointed within a few days.— The A. A. A. staff at Washington will soon be enlarged to handle the new division, it is expected. Besides efforts to obtain as members, exist- ing state and local bus and truck or- ganizations, efforts will be niade to. recruit membership for these groups( and in the case of truck assosiations, largely among the big fleet opera- tors. Assurances haye already been received as a result of a preliminary investigation that the big fleet own- ers will welcome the opportunity to obtain the type of service that will be available. One of the paramount services to truck and bus ‘owners which will be given, will come through the crea- tion of a research department at A. A. A. Headquarters at Washington, which -will collect and distribute facts about the economics, of high- way transportation which have not hitherto been generally available. Emphasis will be laid also upon the importance of both keeping and un- derstanding cost records. In legislative activities, the new division will function in co-ordination with the Mctor Vehicle Conference Committee which hitherto has not had reptsentation from bus and truck owners. An intensive campaign for mem- bership will be waged, It is.expected that the new ‘division will be firmly and permanently entrenched in. its field within a year or 18 months. ———— ‘ Horse Loses Out .

Forbes, of the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car company of Buffalo, N. Y. “Because of their widespread dis- tributing organizations, motor car manufacturers are able to keep an unusually close contact with the busi- ness world,” said Mr. Forbes. “In this respect the management of the Pierce-Arrow company is sin gularly fortunate. Our truck rep- resentatives are in almost daily touch with more than two hundred lines of industry.

It is because of this that we are quick to feel any change in the pulse of the business world. “During the last few weeks we bave recognized a pronounced quick- ening of business activity.
