" GOTHAM THRONGS 138 AUTO SHOw Vivid Colors and Four Major Changes Noted in New Creations. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 5.—Vivid splashes or color, the motor cars for 1935 made their first public ap- pearance today, drawing tremer.dous crowds that New York automobile show officials estimated would break all records for the opening day. Beauty is stressed, along with safety, economy and many mechanical improvements. The automobile of 1935, of course, is streamlined, aero- dynamic, airstreamed, aeroformed or airflowing, which means to the lay- man that it glides through the air with the greatest of ease. Twenty- eight passenger car lines are being shown, Four Major Charges. Four major changes stand out, these being: . A new type of spring suspension on many models, which is said to synchronize and balance front and back springing. Motors have been moved forward from 5'; to 8 inches on many lines in an effort to balance the body | more perfectly. Bodies are wider, and there is more head room. Even so, the new models hug the ground more closely, with the center of gravity lowered 1'; to 2 inches. This has been done without loss of room by flattening the springs. The front end of almost every make has been redesigned, and horsepower has been increased in many makes by a higher ratio of compression, not by increasing the bore and stroke. The average hike in horsepower is five. A six-foot man can look straight ahead and see over the tops of most of the new cars. There are a num- ber of completely new lines, put out mostly by manufacturers of the so- called medium-priced and high-priced makes. Price Group Competition. Competition this year seems to cen- ter in the price group just above the lines known as popular-priced (Chev- olet, Ford, Plvmouth and Terraplane), with two completely new sixes (Pon- tiac and Hudson) being made by manufacturers, who last year limited their production to eights. In opening the show, Mayor F. H. La Guardia expressed the hope for the industry that “this is not only the opening of a motor show, but also is the start of a new era of pros- perity for the Nation.” Manufacturers were optimistic over their chances for higher sales records, and expressed the hope that 1935 would show a greater percentage of increase over 1934 than 193¢ did over 1933. FRENCH ARTISTS TO GIVE MUSICALE Mme. Ninon Vallin and Rene Le Roy to Be Heard Wed- nesday. Mme. Ninon Vallin, soprano. and Rene Le Roy, flutists, two widely known French artists, will be presented at 11:15 a.m. Wednesday at a musicale, under auspices of Mrs. Lawrence ‘Townsend, in the main ball room of the Hotel Mayflower. Both Mme. Vallin and Mr. Le Roy gave recitals here last year and were received with enthusiasm. Mme. Vallin has become known as the “Princess of Song,” because of her presentations in both concert and opera. Besides in her own country her fame is known throughout other countries of Europe, South America and in the United States. She has received the indorsement of many fa- mous French and Spanish composers. Mme. Vallin made her operatic debut in “Carmen” at the Opera Comique after graduating at the Con- servatory at Lyons. Immediately aft- erwards she was engaged for opera at Buenos Aires, giving her first pre- sentation there in “Faust.” Her first tour of the United States was made in 1932-33. Mr. Le Roy has toured this country for the past five seasons in joint recitai with Marcel Grandjany, French harpist. Recently he has been giving solo recitals and playing as soloist with symphony orchestras. His play- ing has inspired modern composers, including d'Indy, Roussel and Cyril Scott to write special numbers to be played on the flute. They have dedi- cated much of their works to Mr. Le Roy. Mr. Le Roy is founder and director of the Quintet Instrumental de Paris, which has given more than 300 con- certs in Europe since its organization in 1922, The concert program follows: “Allegro” ... +es...Mozart tative and Air”. . . all the Lute and H Mme.

By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, January 5.—The Com- monwealth Builders of Washington ! State, whose program closely resem- bles that of Upton Sinclair’s “end- | poverty-in-California” plan, expressed | belief tonight they had a “fighting chance” to control the Washington State Legislature which meets Janu- ary 14. Howard Costigan, executive secre- tary, said he was “under the impres- sion” that 53 members of the House were in favor of its program, and 32 or more members of the Senate. Both figures constitute majorities in the chambers, which contain an over- whelming number of Democrats. Mme.

REVOLT FORECAST INU.S. BY REND Farm Holiday Leader Urges | Price to Farmer to Cover Production’ Cost. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 5—Milo Reno, mild-mannered leader of the farm holiday movement, today ques- tioned whether there is a conspiracy to | “overthrow this republic and estab- | lish a military dictatorship.” In a speech before the New York Republican Club, Reno asked: “Is there a determination to de- stroy this republic by forcing our peo- ple into that state of poverty and de- | spair where they | will either tamely | submit and sur- render their lib- erties, or else, in their desperation, resort to revolu- | tion which would | end the reign of | free Government | in America and| result in a mili- tary dictatorship, | a military tyr- anny? | “If not” he| asked, “why per-| mit our people to| suffer the agonies of bankruptcy, the discouragement of poverty, unemploy- ment and starvation, when the doing | of two things will restore a degree of prosperity, that will permit a read- justment, of other inequities and es- tablish justice and prosperity in the place of wickedness and poverty?” ! | | Milo Reno. Makes Plea for Farmer. The Towa insurance company execu- | tive and farm leader recommended | that Congress “provide a medium of ex- | change’sufficient to transact efficient- ly the business of the Nation” and toj give the farmer a price for his prod- | ucts which would cover his production costs. “There has never been a bread- line in the United States,” he said, | “when the farmer was receiving an American price for his products.” | He appealed to the Republican or- | ganization to look beyond the city limits of New York, to take into con- sideration the rights of people in ev- ery section of the country and to “make it your business to protect the liberties of the people as guaranteed under the fundamental law of this| republic.” Appeals for New eadership, ‘The Republican party, he charged,‘ went “out of the picture” because it | had become the party of “monopoly and oppression.” He appealed for new leadership in the party as he scored the present Democratic administra- tion. | “No sane person believes,” he said, | “that the present program of destruc- tion and spending can go on indefi- | nitely. We cannot continue to create | debts and hope to pay them by destroy- | ing our power to produce, create and | market. | “The plain people of this republic | Will not long tolerate a leadership | which permits and encourages the profits of the 200 largest corporations to increase while human want and need becomes more desperate.” —— Unlucky at Fishing.

By the Associated Press. The United States minted more coins in 1934, numerically, than in any year since 1919. A total of 358,269,353 pieces were minted during the 12 months, the Treasury reported yesterday. They have a total value of $25,951,750.65. In addition, 24,280,000 coins were struck off for various Central and South American countries.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 5.—Earnings of business corporations, if used for pay roll increases or for reduction of prices to consumers, would provide | better insurance against a rainy day than if used for additions to surplus, in the opinion of Rexford Guy Tug- well, Undersecretary of Agriculture. Even the payment of dividends would be better for the corporations than saving, says Dr. Tugwell, in his new book “The Battle for Democracy,” published today by the Columbia Uni- versity Press. Dr. Tugwell is professor of economics at Columbia. His views on s\u'plus reserves are expressed in the following excerpt from the book: BY REXFORD GUY TUGWELL, Undersecretary of Agriculture. ‘The habit among business corpora- tions of building up surplus reserves is one of those practices which seem at first to be purely individual, but which turn out, on examination, to have serious social consequences * * * 1f, instead of using its earnings to enlarge its surplus, the corporation used them to increase its pay roll or to reduce its price to consumers it would be enlarging the demand for its own products along with those of others, because it would be placing purchasing power in the hands of those who actually use it. Insurance Against Rainy Day. This would be better insurance, really, against an anticipated rainy day than following any of the courses open to it in the management of sur- plus. Even if it paid these funds out in dividends the effect would be bet- ter than that of saving, for at least part of them would be spent for goods instead of being added to an already over-developed productive equipment. It is as a result of following the course of saving that industries find themselves periodically with a failing market. When too much is saved and finds its way into factories, ware- houses, transport facilities and the like, our productive equipment tends to outgrow any demand there may be for the product. Markets Are Forced. One of the favorite devices resorted to in this situation is an enlargement of high-pressure salesmanship and ad- vertising in an attempt to create mar- kets forcibiy. But if physical pur- chasing power is actually deficient the only result this can have is to take business away from some one else, destroying the momentary equilibrium | —the whole cannot be enlarged. Good business policy clearly re- quires that demand should be built up and conserved as carefully as pro- The one is use- less without the other. This cannot be done by sterlizing earned funds in surplus accounts or in forcing atten- tion on particular goods. It can only be done by enlarging and protecting the stream of purchas- ing power, $1,500,000 IS PAID ON BRAZIL DEBTS All January 1 Services Remitted, Including $300,000 to U. S. Banks. By the Associated Press. RIO DE JANEIRO, January 5.—All services on foreign debts due January 1, in compliance with the schedule laid down in the Aranha debt plan, were remitted today by the Brazilian gov- ernment through the Banco do Brasil, whose director said the amounts had been paid in dollars, pounds sterling and francs, in accordance with the plan’s provisions. Valentine Boucas, technical secre- tary of the Committee on the Nation's Loans, said the amount paid totaled in the neighborhood of £300,000 ($1,~ 500,000). North American bankers here figured payments due the United States at this time around $300,000. In behalf of the ministry of finance, it was said payments were made “at the sacrifice of commercial interests seeking foreign exchange.” e . NEW YORK, January 5 (#).—The Foreign Bondholders’ Protective Coun- cil, Inc, was informed today by Ar- thur de Souza Costa, Brazilian min- ister of finance, that approximately $300,000 due on five Brazilian bond issues due January 1 had been re- mitted by the Bank of Brazil to New York paying agents for distribution Monday. Service due on the four state and one municipal issues was delayed this week, with an announcement that Brazil was holding milreis in the Bank of Brazil to cover the payments, but that due to lack of foreign ex- change no payments could be made at present. MISS EARHART SILENT HONOLULU, January § (#).— Amelia Earhart, ostensibly preparing her plane for a long flight, declined today to confirm reports she would take off soon for California. Extra gasoline tanks will be re- installed tomorrow, giving the plane a capacity of 520 gallons and a range of 600 miles greater than the 2408 miles between Honolulu and Oakland, Calif. Although tests have been made for days, it was understood the plane would not be ready for a long journey il another week. D.

The picture used in con- nection with the incorrect statement was taken to represent an examina- tion of reports on the failure of re- peal throughout the country that had come to our office. Any attempt to align the Anti-Saloon League or the superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League with the rectifiers is without any basis of fact. No sucn matter has ever even been discussed.

Asked by The Star for an explana- tory statement, Mr. McClellan sent the statement which follows, in part: “No effort was made to deceive Dr. McBride by this office, and we cannot understand why, after he was photo- graphed, that he attempted to make it seem that he had been misled in posing for a picture; nor can we understand why he allowed 24 hours to elapse after having seen his photo- graph before he registered a com- plaint. Certainly Mr. McClellan's identity could not have been hidden under a bushel—not by the wildest flight*of imagination can we conceive Dr. McBride to have been so thor- oughly unaware of the purpose of the visit. This effort on his part to deny the general trend of the story would indicate that he is trying to place upon the head of the Code Authority the blame for inaugurating the picture, “We are not willing to take this blame. Dr. McBride—if he did not know what it was all about—should have known, and while we have the highest respect for his integrity, we dislike very much this attempt to ‘pass the buck’ from the Anti-Saloon League to the Rectifiers’ Code Au- thority.
