~A—10 300 AUTOS SHOWN AT 1933 EXHIBITION 86 Different Makes Entered in Annual Display at New York. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, January 7—While a large crowd greeted the opening of the thirty-third national Automobile Show at the Grand Central Palace loday the automotive industry presented the most interesting _exhibition in its Although the 1933 vehicles establis! new standards in construction, appear- | ance and riding comfort the announced prices stressed a general revision down- ward. The stment affected almost eve by the manu- facturers. More than 300 representing 36 m Of these were passenger vehicles and 7 truck In addition there were exhibits by a number of body makers and accessory manufacturers Four floors of the palace were used for the exhibition. On the first two were arrays of passenger vehicles, on the third commercial carrie's exhibited, while the fourth was devoted to displays of accessories and shop equipment. Makes on Display. The following makes of cars were shown: Auburn, Austin, Buick. Cadil- lac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Continental De Sote, Dodge Bros., Dubonnet, Es Franklin, Graham, Hudson, Hupmobile, h, O s were on view, were | baker, Stutz and Willys. Innovations incorporated in the new models marked the show as the most important ever viewed by the motors |ing public. Unceasing research by | engineers, chemists and scientists as- | sociated with the automotive industry | has produced automobiles of new stand- ards of mechanical efficiency. This vear's models possess devices which ex- ceed in progress the advances made in | any- three previous years. The same rati> obtains when applied to interior and extertor of bodies. One of the outstanding features is increased ten- dency to streamline, thereby reducing air resistance and adding to the life of the car by decreasing wear and tear | of atmospheric pressure. Beauty in design has influenced the | bullders. More attractive effects have been achieved through changes in bumpers, fenders and radiators. Slop- ing lines have become more general and the days of square corners and severe ensembles have passed for the auto- | mcbile. More Comfortable Sizes. Longer wheel bases and slightly wider bodies are ccen throughout the exhibi- tion. Front and rear compartments are wider, permitting broader seats, thereby aff.rding more comfortable riding quali- tie: he refinements for driver o are arrange- ] e ad rent of seat cush- ions and backs Ventilation has received serious con- ation with the result that it is pos- ble now to cbtain vehicles where the window may be opened without causing disagreeable drafts. This is achieved through the use of & newly discovered device. Improved free wheeling and ride con- | trol that eliminates the bounces on | rough roads also are among the im- provements. Longer and better springs furnish_sdditional comfort besides re- ducing the Strain on the car body.

JACKSON, T— Miss,, January of | Definite control of cotton acreage and seeking the avoidance of overproduction such as has proven disastrous in the past, seems nearer actuality now than it ever has, | says J. C. Holton, Mississippl commis- | sioner of agriculture. Henry Bellows, vice president of the | Columbia Broadcasting System, and now in charge of the Washington of- fice, and C. F. Winchester, former man- ager of the Fox Theater, both natives of Minneapolis, will be guests at the “Minnesota Rally” of the Minnesota State Society, January 16, at the Wash- ington Club. The Conference of Governors of Southern States, held at Memphis, was | unanimous in the agreement that there could be and must be regulation by States producing the bulk of the cot- ton, he pointed out. Ginning Plan Offered. A new scheme of regulation offered by Dr. Tait Butler, chairman of the Steering Committee, would provide such regulation Commissioner, D. C., JANUARY 8, 1933—PART ONE. desired number of bales to gins, with severe penalties upon any gin which might handle more than its allotment. Gov. Sennett Conner of Mississippi was asked by the conference to keep in contact with all Governors of cot- ton States in an effort to adjust minor differences and to have them agree upon a definite plan for submission to States in which Legislatures are mesting. Coincident with the effort toward State regulation, Holton pointed out, is | the progress of proposed Federal farm legislation which, he says, if enacted | by Congress, would necessitate that financial benefits intended for farmers be acquired through excise levies updn | the domestic mill consumption of major agricultural commodities, and ticned upon faithful execution by par- | ticipating farmers of voluntary agree- ments to reduce acreage. Urges Need for Action. “While America is drowned in a sea of overproduction,” Holton says, “coun- tries throughout the world are coura- geously meeting the identical issue by effective production control, including the positive regulation of sugar pro- duction in Cuba, Java, Germany and cther countries; of coffee production in Brazil and of cotton production in | Egypt. | “It is unthinkable that continu= this ‘made’ cycle of overpro- duction which has so nearly destroyed us,” the commissioner declared. “Whether regulation comes through we should | | orportance s ot we maimisto prodnc: | ASSOCIATES HONOR ‘ssi‘:'r:garry-ovn to be gradually absorbed, | col.. c- c- COOMBS | 50 that prices may resume normalcy.” | | DENTAL GROhPS ) HOLD:Co-Wcrken Recognize Half Cen- INUTRITION SYMPOSIUM| tury of Service of Veteran | ‘ Government Worker. |SUPPORTER 0 condi- | Meeting to Be Conducted on Tues- | day Evening at 8 0'Clock at G.

Charles Cyrus Cocmbs, Auxiliary Reserve, on duty in the office of the chief of Chemi- cal Warfare, was honored by his asso- | clates last week. | He was presented with an onyx desk set as a testimonial. Maj. Gen. Harry L. Gilchrist, chief of the Chemical War- fare Service, paid a tribute to Col. Coombs in making the presentation on behalf of the personnel of the office. Col. Coombs was born in Missouri in 1863 and began his service in the Gov- ernment at 12 as a House page. At 19 he became the private secretary to Sen- ator George G. Vest of Missouri. Robert T. Lincoln, Secretary of War, appointed him as clerk in the office of the Surgeon General on January 3, 1883 | For 35 years he worked in the same of- | fice, until on July 16, 1918, he resigned his civil position and received a com- mission as major in the Chemical War- fare Service, being placed in charge of its finance division.

On August 13, 1927, he was trans- ferred to the Auxiliary Reserve. Since July 1, 1921, Col. Coombs has served as law clerk and assistant in the office of the chief of Chemical Warfare Service.
