THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. D. TUESDAY, AUTO PLANTS GAIN WITH NEW MODELS Supply Industries Feeling Im- petus of Production in Detroit Area. By the Associated Press DETRC November 3Tt has been a tradition in the automc ndustry that it is first to fee effec { istrial decline ar the fi Many of Mich igan's leaders believe the | motor car industry will lead the way | again as it did in the past | No small part of the feeling that | better days are at hand is based upon | the impending presentation of new models by a majority of the automo- bile manufacturers. Many of these new | types already are in process of con- | struction, while others are to come off | the production lines within the next few weeks The effect of this new model produc- | tion already has been felt in related industries that supply tools and parts | for the various motor car makers. Its effect upon employment will come shortly, when all the makers planning new types put them into production Dealers’ Stocks Sold Out. Preliminary showings of some of the new models disclose why the industry’s Jeaders are depending so confidently upon them to supply the impetus need- ed to thaw out & frosen motor car market, Apparently everything the industry has been able to develop in engineering improvement has been in- corporated In the mew cars Coupled with the impending appear- ance of new models is the fact that the motor car industry has cleared its decks in_preparation for & vigorous sales campaign. Virtually no surplus stock will be in dealers’ hands when the new cars are formally presented. The faith of the Ford Motor Co. in the future of the motor car industry is ghown in the expenditure of $500,000 for the installation of additional equip- ment for the salvaging of Worn-out mo- tor cars. The con.,pany began reclaim- ing metal in usia cars more than & year ago, New machinery to provide rap metal essential to the making of steel is being inctalled that will make it possible to senu one old car to the meiting pot every minute | Michigan Highways Begun. The State of Michigan's contribution to the general effort to hasten the re- turn of normal conditions is & $10,000,- 000 highway project, already under way,, to be financed by future receipts fronf the weight and gasoline taxes. The program requires that at least 7. per cent of the workmen must be en- gaged from the lst of unemployed in the county where the improvements are being made. Several of the Etate’s public utilities corporations are going ahead with con- llmcflnn pmgr.\mn although not as rt: l\“ some previous years, indi- cating a Yaith in the restoration of con- sumer demand generally. Detroit to Have New P. O. In Detroit preparations are being made for the razing of the old post of- fice building to make way for a new $20,000,000 structure. The present build- ing already has been vacated. | In Battle Creek the Kellogg Co. has | instituted the six-hour day in its plants to give employment to more workers and has fixed « $4 a day minimum wage. From Muskegon the Continental Motors Corporation announced an im- provement in demand for its product @nd at Jackson the fluru-wugmfon Co. has taken on ditional workers with its entry into the electrje refriger- &tion field. Several other cities have reported a more optimistic outlook on the part of their major industries.

LONDON, November 3.—Mahatma Gandhi paid his Arst visit to No. 10 Downing street today and talked with Prime Minister MacDonald about an hour on the problems df the Indian Round Table Conference. He told the prime minister he re- gretted his failure to effect a settlement of the Hindu- end_his conve marked by & note of despair, which Mr. MacDonald seemed unable to relieve. A cold, bleak wind whistled through the streets and Gandhi's odd sppear- ance in a loin cloth, homespun sl sandals and bare legs attracted much ttention. For the first time since he came w0 London, he posed voluntarily for pho- | tographers. “I hate photographers,” he | said. “but now I am your prisoner amll t escape.” He smiled as he said it, | er, while an army of picture men at the prime mmmcn} doorstep PANTAGES’ RETRIAL WILL BEGIN TODAY .

LIGNITE COAL DEPOSIT | IS FOUND IN ONTARIO Otherwise Coalless Area Discovered to Contain 200,000,000 Tons Owned by Government. Special Dispatch to The Star OTTAWA, Ontario, November 3.— Lignite coal deposits of more than 200, 000,000 tons, situated at Coral Rapids in Northern Ontario, on the Onaka- wana River, 150 miles north of Coch- rane in an otherwise coalless area, are undergoing tests indicating possible re- sources of inestimable value to Canada. Pulverization and carbonization tests now proceeding on two carloads of the lignite at the fuel-testing laboratory of the department of mines show that the deposits have great potential value. Ex- perts are cautious in their evaluation, pointing to the high water content of the deposits, notwithstanding the coal is not hard to mine and is usable in pulverized form. It is understood that samples of the fuel will be sent to Germany for complete carbonization tests. While it has no coke value, some new experi- ments and new machinery, may correct this, it is believed. This fuel is described as a great as- set, lying as it does in the supposedly coalless region of the Moose River and James Bay, Canada's nearest coal sources hitherto being Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Present in such large quantities, the lignite is further ac- centuated in value by the fact that it is owned almost 100 per cent by the Ontario Gc\PmmfnL Cuprrieht, 1031) QuITsS STAGE AFTER WEEK Mrs. Minnie “Ma™ Kenno(h Hud- son Closes Skit With Husband SAN FRANCISCO, November 3 (# -~Mrs. Minnie “Ma" Kennedy Hudson, mother of Aimee Semple McPherson Hutton, retired from the stage today after a week's appearance in a vaude- ville skit here with her husband, Guy Edward Hudsor Mrs. Kennedy Hudson said the four- a-day schedule was impairing her | health.
